(Book 1) "The most primal desire for humans is to survive."
Life is pretty normal for our heroes as they have grown up in a pretty safe world. Stress hits them as they are about to graduate high school and finals are right around the corner. Little do our heroes know about the impending doom of the entire world as they know it. For some of them, adapting to the new world won't be that hard. For others, they will need to learn. Quickly. Trust will be tested, bonds will be formed, skills will be developed, and the fight to survive will be fought. Where will our heroes be at the end of it? Will they be standing on top of the world once the ordeal is over? Or will they be wishing they were still human?

Make it Till You Don't
Daryl Dixon x Reader Run. That's the first basic instinct a person can have in life. To run. Whether you are running late, exercising, playing a sport, games as a child, or simply because you enjoy it. Running is important to life... especially when one's life is in danger. The adrenaline takes over and the amount of energy a person can have is unimaginable; they can run for hours if need be. Fight-or-Flight Response, as some people call it. The desperate need to run. The best advice when the sound of snarling trails behind you, catching up with hostile intent? Run. Run and never look back. The world, in simple terms, had gone to shit. Without warning, everyone found themselves having to run and fight in order to survive. Although, no one ever expected to be fighting the dead. With humanity on the brink of extinction, (Y/N) finds herself stumbling across a group and joins them in an attempt to survive to see another day, though she never expected the day would come where she'd call these people her family. --- I do not own any of the characters in this story, they belong to Robert Kirkman and Tony Moore.

Solace ~ TWD (Daryl Dixon)
In a world overrun by the dead, the living can be far more dangerous. She's carved out a fragile existence under the rule of a ruthless leader - a place where survival means submission. But when a defiant prisoner arrives, his spirit unbroken despite the horrors he's endured, she's forced to confront the chains she's wrapped around herself. The world outside is no kinder. Walkers roam the wasteland, and every step beyond the Sanctuary's walls is a gamble. Yet the thought of freedom lingers, gnawing at her. And as the man who refuses to kneel continues to fight, she's left with a choice - betray the fragile security she clings to, or risk everything for the chance at something more. But rebellion comes at a cost, and in a world without mercy, love might be the most dangerous risk of all. (Daryl Dixon x Original Female Character) Slow burn. Mature content. 🔥🫢 Some main TWD plot points included, but I intend to diverge often to keep it exciting and fresh. I don't own the rights to any TWD characters or scenes. OFC is my own, as are some of the plot lines in this story. #1 in Daryl Dixon - 10/28/25
