The baby sister of Rick Grimes, a Sheriff's Deputy in King County, Georgia, a real southern man with a southern wife, southern son, and southern best friend, he's a survivor. Riley though?

So she moved to Maine, where the average high is seventy-eight degrees, and the average low is twelve degrees in the winter. She was a baker, owned a shop right there on the beach in Portland, Maine. It was going great for her, until the dead started walking, and suddenly, her life flipped upside down. Oh, and did I forget to mention? She's pregnant. Best ratings: #1 - #dixon out of 3.1K stories!

'𝙇𝙤𝙫𝙞𝙣𝙜 𝙖𝙣𝙙 𝙛𝙞𝙜𝙝𝙩𝙞𝙣𝙜. 𝘼𝙘𝙘𝙪𝙨𝙞𝙣𝙜, 𝘿𝙚𝙣𝙮𝙞𝙣𝙜. 𝙄 𝙘𝙖𝙣'𝙩 𝙞𝙢𝙖𝙜𝙞𝙣𝙚 𝙖 𝙬𝙤𝙧𝙡𝙙 𝙬𝙞𝙩𝙝 𝙮𝙤𝙪 𝙜𝙤𝙣𝙚...' *** Her world was empty long before the real one came to an end, and she was forced to resort to trusting strangers. Dead bodies walked the Earth, and the living had two options; band together and live, or turn on one another, and die. Tori makes friends (and enemies) within the group she finds herself a part of. One man stands out as the most irritating, yet the one who also has the biggest heart of all of them. They drive each other crazy, but craziness is to be expected at the end of the world. She battles the harsh realities of the new world, as well as the internal struggle that continues to cripple her mind and body alike. *** [Daryl Dixon x OC] [Sexual Content] [TWD - Season 1-11] [Started 6/7/2023] [Finished ???]

Days Go Bye | Rick Grimes by PatheticFckinfool

The world as we knew it came crashing down with the outbreak of a deadly virus that caused the dead to rise and seek out human flesh. Amidst the chaos, Rick Grimes was presumed dead, and his wife and son were forced to flee the city to stay alive. Accompanying them was Lori's closest friend, who took on the responsibility of caring for her friend's son alongside her in the absence of his father. When Rick unexpectedly returned, the friend showed immense relief, even more so than his wife. As they struggled to survive in a world overrun by the undead, they found solace in each other's company. They slowly began to develop a deep emotional bond, having shared numerous losses, one of which pushed them closer together than all the others. {WARNING THIS STORY MAY CONTAIN GRAPHIC/MATURE CONTENT, IF YOU ARE SENSITIVE TO ANYTHING SKIP THE CHAPTERS WITH WARNINGS OR READ WITH CAUTION, ALL TOPICS THAT ARE MENTIONED WILL BE APPROACHED WITH CAUTION - THEY MAY CONTAIN - SEX - SEXUAL CONTENT- CHEATING - TORTURE - MURDER - SCARS (POSSIBLE SH RELATION) - POSSIBLE MENTIONS OF SA - ZOMBIES - REANIMATED CORPES - APOCTOLYPTIC WORLD - ABUSE - CHILD DEATH - ADULT DEATH - AND OTHER MATURE CONTENT OF THE SORTS.} Started: July 2024
