Summary
Lennon Wilde is a vet tech in Atlanta when the world falls apart. Days later, she's in the woods with a dog and a knife, and Daryl Dixon is the one who finds her.
She can field dress game, knows her way around wounds, and learned young how to make herself useful enough to keep around. The apocalypse just requires her to do it faster—survive harder, adapt quicker.
Daryl Dixon doesn't waste words. Doesn't explain himself. Doesn't do people. But survival throws them together, and some walls come down brick by brick—whether you meant to drop them or not.
The dead are walking. The living are dying. And somewhere between the quarry and the highway and every desperate mile after, staying alive starts looking different than either of them expected.
Found family. Survival. Two damaged people learning what it costs to let someone stay.
Canon divergent. (Season 1+)
Currently season 3 adjacent

Summary
THE CHAPTER 72 IS ADDED ALSO HERE FOR PROMOTION. THE REST ON DREAMWIDTH IN MY PRIVATE GROUP.
I CAN ADD YOU TO MY ACCESS LIST AFTER RECEIVING FIVE REVIEWS
Click for my pageFor Rick and Amanda, life was good, as good as it could be in this post-apocalyptic world in which the dead are walking. But they both have a dream, a better world for their children where they can live without fear, without hunger, without the dead. They both strive for that end, pulling their home back to its feet after the Wolves’ attack as they try to establish their footing in their relationship after deciding to start over.
A few chance encounters lead them to some old and new friends, making the world a much bigger place. And it was all too well, but when an unprecedented menace from the north starts to loom over on the horizon with his tranny and simplistic yet cruel worldview and threatens to take away everything they have been trying to build, they are going to be tested in a way they have never been before and will have to choose between two options.
[Adaptation of the second part of the Season 6 and All-Out-War storyline.]

But as the conflict goes on and the losses mount up on both sides, complete with a devastating near-miss, Mordecai and the others begin to realize the full might of war, and consider the right course for a better future...

Summary
Born from a dead woman and raised by an angry man, Calico's view on the world has always been shaped by growing pains, tears on the carpet after a beatin', the absence of her brothers, and the tight grip she keeps on the things she holds most dear. Nothing really changes once the world ends, except now people are getting their faces torn off by the dead, and there's even less people to trust than before.
And baseball practice is canceled.

It didn't matter how mad Merle was. How could he do anything else when those muted green eyes still looked at him like she understood him so well?

Summary
Hannah was nothing if not pragmatic. She took to the end of the world with barely a blink. Killing the dead wasn’t fun, and she hated the constant feel of sticky blood on her skin, but she did it without complaint. And it felt like the role she filled in their survivor group was one she had been born for.
All in all, other than the constant fear of death, the fall of civilization wasn’t so bad.
If only the surly redneck with the very nice arms would give her the time of day.

Summary
Jay Campbell is just beginning to blossom as a producer, temporarily living in Atlanta for work. They have a history of being over-prepared, perhaps even a legacy.
But now, the world is ending. And they can't help but be grateful that they were ready for it. And maybe, even, this old world ending could mean the start of something new.
Daryl Dixon thinks that life will never change, that he just wasn't built for this world and he'll be forever stuck inside his brother's shadow.
Until the world ends, and it's the best thing that ever happened to him.Series

Summary
"I saw two hawks flying over a ridge as the world burned down beneath them and they were not afraid. They looked down at death and they told him 'Not today.'"
Carrie Chatan is a Cherokee native of North Carolina. Her family has raised and trained horses for generations and she has spent the last ten years raising her half-sister Virginia after her mother's death. It's not an easy task with her abusive step father breathing down her neck, but she would die to keep her sister safe.
Plagued with terrible dreams and the fierce need to keep Virginia alive, Carrie finds an ally in the strangest place. Looking at Daryl Dixon feels like looking in a mirror - but Carrie doesn't know if she can even trust herself, let alone a stranger. The world is filled with undead, but the scariest thing about it is how quickly he grows to become the person she trusts, loves, and relies on the most.

Summary
"Let's try somethin' different, huh?" Negan suggested with a pleasured rumble as he slowly took off his white t-shirt, revealing a muscled torso riddled with beautiful works of ink.
As much as Rick hated to admit it, he had always admired the sight.

Summary
“Do you like it?” He asked.
“It’s not where I wanna be.” She answered easily, again surprising herself at how honest she was being with a total stranger. But he’d brought up a conversation she’d already been having with herself for the past few months, “Are you where you wanna be?”
“Yeah.” He smiled, “Yeah, I don’t think I’d want to be anywhere else right now.” It probably took too long for her to realize that he wasn’t talking about the building down the street anymore and she felt her cheeks warm.
“I thought you were late.”

(Or, since we know they fall in love in every universe over and over again, we'll expand on Rick's dreams.)
