Rise of the Dead | I by Lup1ne

Ten years after the battle at Single Oak, the four groups of Oregon are still reeling from its after effects. Territory lines were drawn and stories have been told, those who were heroes once are legends now. In order to avoid new conflicts, solstice gatherings between the groups' leaders were organized-but will they be enough? *** Phoenix has grown up only ever knowing two things. One, her group and fathers are the saviors of Oregon. Two, The Reaper's are not to be trusted. So when a mysterious stranger rescues her after a hunting trip gone wrong turns out to be none other than her mortal enemy she begins to wonder, are they all as bad as they seem? The death of Stephan has begun to deteriorate The Reaper's from the inside out. Infighting over who should be their next leader has created countless seasons of lacking supplies and structure. A lack of prey follows a famine. Strong leadership is in order and although Gerald can provide it, debate and rumors are spread about his chosen companion-Aleu, Stephan's once respected apprentice, now glued to his side in a relationship they never wanted-with no say in the matter. The only person who The Reaper's can put their hope into is Hawk, their new general, a powerful man willing to do anything to keep his group thriving. Hawk is torn between keeping his group safe and his own ambition, Aleu is tortured with a constricting life they hate and Phoenix wonders if she can truly trust her new acquaintances. Now the three must make a decision. Will pushing aside the past and working together to make peace be worth turning their backs on their groups or is blood the only cure for the misdeeds of the past? _____________________ Story rating: 17+ Content warnings: Childhood trauma, subtext of grooming, strong language, violence and gore This can hypothetically be read as a stand alone but it's recommended to read the original series first.

To Burn the World for You by Lecheesw

In a world swallowed by fire, ash, and the endless groans of the undead, two women find solace in the chaos-and in each other. Charlotte, quiet but fierce, and Max, a bold and rugged dirt-bike-riding survivor, are bound by the blood they've spilled and the love that's grown between battles. Together they ride through ruined cities and overgrown highways, dodging death, hunting supplies, and navigating the raw ache of survival.

They just might have to. -this story contains violence, gore, sexual content, and mature themes. It is not suitable for readers under 18.

The Last House on County Road 9 by Skylight89

When the storm came to Hollow Creek, it didn't just bring rain-it brought something back with it. On a quiet stretch of Route 66, a brutal murder shatters the calm of a small Illinois town. Deputy Rachel Hayes, still trying to prove herself in a department that doesn't trust her, is called to investigate the death of local mechanic Daniel Weaver. But what begins as a simple homicide quickly unravels into something far darker. Each clue leads Rachel deeper into a trail of buried secrets-old photographs, missing people, and a chilling legend whispered about for generations. Together with Evan Cole, a reporter desperate to revive his career, she uncovers the truth about Hollow Creek's past: a pact made in blood, a debt that demands payment every eight years, and a presence in the corn that never truly dies. As the storms return and the town begins to collapse around them, Rachel must decide how much she's willing to sacrifice to break the cycle-before Hollow Creek takes her, too.

𝑨 𝑯𝒐𝒑𝒆𝒍𝒆𝒔𝒔 𝑴𝒆𝒍𝒐𝒅𝒚. (𝒏𝒆𝒈𝒂𝒏) by xo_madness

Trying to survive the apocalypse isn't just about slaying the undead. It's a 𝘸𝘩𝘰𝘭𝘦 lot more complicated than that. Hardly anybody ever considers the barbaric murderers with the Cheshire Cat smiles or the cunning killers lurking around for their next victim to slice open. Or what about the huge range of communities out there, trying their best to thrive in the new world? Surely, not all of them are bad... right? Well, Brooklyn Scotts would be inclined to disagree to that last point made. For the girl has been surviving on her own since it all started, joining and leaving small groups here and there. But when she just so happens to unintentionally seek help on her travels, her whole world is turned upside down and she finds herself breaking all the rules. <><><> Highest Rank(s): » #1 Negan » #1 TheWalkingDead » #1 Rickgrimes <><><> || Negan X OC || || Mature Content || || Please Enjoy || <><><> » started late 2017 » completed summer 2019
