    Summary

    Rory is completely alone, fighting to survive when she happens to cross paths with two men in the woods. They speak of safety, of hope, of a chance at a new life in a place called Alexandria.

    What she doesn’t expect is Daryl Dixon working his way under her skin at every turn. He’s infuriating, arrogant, stubborn, and impossible to ignore. And yet, despite herself, she finds him fascinating… maybe even worth the risk of letting someone in again. But is he also willing to take that risk?

    ** Takes place around seasons 5 and 6 of The Walking Dead. This does not follow canon events (yet) **
