    Seasons 1-9 so far! ~~ Parker Grimes was with her family when the world came to an end. Her only goal was to keep those around her safe, and no matter how bad things became, she'd stay with them till the very end. She didn't expect the loner of the group, Daryl Dixon, to catch her eye. The only real question is: Is the end of the world really the best place to find love? A world where Parker realizes that maybe having someone to take care of her isn't a sign of weakness, and Daryl realizes that life is better when you have someone by your side.

    Even if you've never watched The Walking Dead, you can still enjoy this story! 【Realistic Apocalypse + The Walking Dead Setting + Independent Protagonist】 【Base Building + Survival + Adventure | No Romance】 After transmigrating into the world of The Walking Dead, she becomes the younger sister of Leah from the Reapers-someone who was supposed to die before even appearing in the story. Calista seems to have drawn the worst possible script... a doomed background character. But that's fine. The situation is still salvageable. The first thing she does after waking up? Cling to the Reapers and secure their protection. While Rick's group is still struggling with questions of morality and humanity, Calista is already rebuilding order through sheer force. The Governor dares to provoke her? Bombard him. The Whisperers? Erase them. The Commonwealth and CRM? Move aside. Rick stares at his shabby camp in confusion. "Why is everyone running to her side?" Negan flicks the blood off Lucille as the gates of Rock Fortress slowly open behind him. "Damn... because following her means you actually thrive." Starting with the Reapers as her foundation, Calista rises from a winery stronghold to become a ruler of the apocalypse. From the United States... all the way to Europe. The original plot? Just a reference. From today onward, my territory will define the order of the new world. 【The protagonist is not a saint. She won't follow or assist Rick's group blindly. Their paths will cross, but she will build her own empire.】 (No system. Just the realistic rise of an ordinary person in the apocalypse.)

    The dead never bite her. They never chase her. Sometimes, when the wind is still and the walkers shuffle past, they even whisper two impossible words... "Hello, Princess." Born from an impossible union between the hardened survivor Daryl Dixon and the primordial Goddess of Night, Nyx, Rowan Dixon was never meant to exist. As the apocalypse consumes the world, the dead instinctively recognize the blood of the Underworld flowing through her veins. They part before her like loyal subjects before royalty. But being ignored by the dead doesn't make life easier. It paints a target on her back. As word spreads of the "Walker Princess," ruthless survivors, cult leaders, scientists, and warlords all want to capture the mysterious girl who can walk untouched through the largest herds ever seen. Adding to the mystery is Rowan's mutant X-Gene. Like a chameleon, she can alter her skin, scent, temperature, heartbeat, and even mimic her surroundings until she becomes nearly invisible. In the wrong hands, she could become the perfect assassin. Now Daryl must protect the daughter he never expected while teaching her the hardest lesson of the apocalypse: The dead aren't the enemy. People are.

    Before the world fell apart, there were three inseparable childhood friends: Rick Grimes, Daryl Dixon, and Y/N. Y/N was unlike anyone else. Standing at 7'10", they never smiled, never laughed, and never spoke. A black blindfold permanently covered their eyes, and no one had ever seen what was beneath it. Their messy wolf cut, black leather jacket over an oversized black hoodie, and intimidating build made strangers avoid them long before the dead began to walk. Beneath the layers of clothing hid countless scars from a past no one knew about a deep wolf-claw scar across their right pectoral muscle, severe burn scars along the right side of their neck, jaw, and right arm, and dozens more hidden beneath their clothes. Their tattooed skin was covered in dark forests, snakes, thorny vines, and black roses. Rick and Daryl never knew Y/N had grown up completely alone without parents. When civilization collapsed, the three friends were torn apart in the chaos. Years later, each believes the others are probably dead. They're wrong.

    Nell has lost everyone she ever loved. She witnessed her little brother getting tore to shreds right in front of her eyes. And to make things worse, she is alone. At this point, Nell would prefer to get eaten alive by brain-munchers. There's no point in life if she isn't even living- she's just surviving. When the last bit of canned food runs out, it forces Nell to leave her house, but she finds herself in some trouble with a brain-muncher and wakes up in a... farmhouse? Nell knows to never trust anyone, it's what her dad always told her. Before her dad died, Nell had a very strange relationship with him. He was abusive- both physically and emotionally. Nell always thought that was normal. It's normal for dads to get angry and lash out. It's normal to be punished for trying to speak... right? When she meets the group taking shelter at the farmhouse, will she run away? Is her need for a true family stronger than her loyalty to her abusive father? Or will a certain guy with a crossbow and a boy in a sheriff hat show her that life is worth living? • • • Amazing book cover by @tbr_tales !! Daryl's daughter/Carl's lover/Found family The story does not completely follow the plot of The Walking Dead. The plot line strays away from the show at times due to Nell's interference.

    TWD Fanfiction, Maxxine Chavez is fourteen years old when the apocalypse starts and is stuck in CDC with her uncle through marriage, Dr Edwin Jenner. A group comes along just in time for disaster to strike and whisks her away to survive the dead together. This story follows Max growing up in a world of infection and trying to find where she fits into the narrative. (Note: she is immune because I wrote her ages ago and I'm too far gone to change it.) Rights to the characters and stories of the walking dead belong to Robert Kirkman and AMC studios. The only characters that My Co-Writer own are Maxxine, Vivian, and any side characters created along the way, thank you!

    Main Premise What if the lineup never ended in death? Lucille is raised. Everyone is kneeling. Abraham braces himself. Glenn prepares to die beside Maggie. Rick is already broken. And then- Negan is interrupted. Not by another Savior. Not by walkers. By a convoy powerful enough to make even Negan step back. A mysterious woman arrives with heavily armed soldiers dressed in black and gold, children hidden safely inside armored vehicles far from the bloodshed. Her people call her Doctora. Others whisper another title: Saint. And for the first time in years, Negan looks nervous.
