36 parts Ongoing Mature

After living in the San Fernando Valley her entire life, Reagan Martinez finds herself in Georgia during the midst of a strange outbreak, where the dead have begun to walk the streets. Reagan always had an easy life. Born to an upper-middle class family in Los Angeles, most things were just handed to her. She had it all, she was attractive, smart, and her parents had enough money to support her for the rest of her life if she really wanted. But that was all stripped away from her once the dead had been resurrected. Now far away from home, in an unfamiliar territory, Reagan must learn to adapt to her new surroundings and protect herself- not just from walkers. Daryl Dixon was the complete opposite. Survival was all he'd ever known, it was a part of his daily life. After suffering from years of abuse, the rise of the dead was Daryl's way out of his personal hell. One life ruined, one saved. Reagan and Daryl didn't get along at first. But as the months passed by, they found themselves putting aside their differences, becoming closer to each other everyday. Reagan needed Daryl, and he needed her. (Daryl Dixon x OC) Seasons 1-9 book 1 of 2 Started: June 8th, 2023 Ended: - I do not own AMCs characters or stories, i only own my OCs
