    Summary

    Alexandria was supposed to be safe. High walls, quiet streets, and people pretending the world hadn't completely fallen apart. She had learned how to survive there long ago, spending her days patrolling with her bow and keeping enough distance to never get too attached to anyone.

    Until the gates opened. Rick Grimes' group arrived covered in dirt, blood, and distrust, but among all of them, there was one person she couldn't stop looking at: a quiet man with tired eyes and a crossbow hanging from his shoulder.

    Daryl Dixon looked like he didn't belong in Alexandria. Maybe that was exactly why she was drawn to him.

    Between late-night runs, restless silences, survival, and a world that never stops taking, the two of them slowly realize that surviving becomes a lot harder once someone finally manages to get under your skin.

    This story has connections to the show, I recommend watching it. Season 5 forward.

    Summary

    The world ended, and Indi learned to survive alone, until a bite that should’ve killed her didn’t.

    Hidden now, she’s a ghost in the ruins of the old world… until someone else starts hunting in her woods. He’s quiet, dangerous, and far too skilled to be a coincidence.

    Their paths collide in the wreckage of the world, two survivors with too many scars and too much to hide. Trust is lethal, but so is being alone. And in a world ruled by the dead, it’s the living who might destroy her.

    Summary

    ❝ She never wanted to survive the end of the world. Stranded far from home, surrounded by strangers and ghosts, she tells herself survival is just instinct—nothing more. But every fight, every loss, and every small kindness pulls her deeper into a group that begins to feel like something she thought she’d lost forever: a family. Along the way, under the shadow of death and despair, a quiet bond starts to bloom where she least expects it. A story of survival, sorrow, found family… and the slow, stubborn hope that refuses to die. ❞

    Summary

    In the heart of the apocalypse, Annie Calloway--a former soldier with blood on her hands and a younger brother she'd die to protect. Daryl Dixon is a man who never expected to care about anyone, not after the life he crawled out of.

    Their connection is as undeniable as it is complicated--two sides of the same coin: She pushes. He anchors. And through every bloodstained mile, every loss, their bond becomes something more than survival--it becomes their reason to survive.

    As war looms, grief festers, and the world demands more from them than they ever thought they had left, Annie and Daryl are forced to face not just what they've done... but who they are becoming. Because in a world where everything is falling apart, the only thing that might hold them together is What Remains.

    (I don't own any part of TWD franchise, only Annie and her story!)

    Summary

    It was a lamented end of the world. In the shadows of trees, in the silence of loneliness, Tyler roamed the dead world alone. There were no companions; there were no such thing as good people. From what she could tell, they had all run out. She wondered how much longer she'd have-- how many days and hours until she, too, would shed her skin and become a terrible shadow of a person she used to be.

    It wasn't supposed to be this way. She was supposed to get out; she was supposed to graduate and make it. Really make it. Now, what was there? What was left, and who remained?

    When a twisted ankle forces her to stay put, Tyler finds herself caring for people she never expected.
