"As long as you're in it, Wills, I've got the world already." | *𝐔𝚸𝐃𝚨𝐓𝐄𝐒 𝐄𝐕𝐄𝐑𝐘 𝐖𝐄𝐄𝚱* | Willow never thought she'd belong to a group until those two men saved her ass in the alley. After being separated from her brother in the big city, it was up to her to get her daughter to safety- until a sheriff and a pizza delivery guy came along and saved them both. The dead owned the streets of Atlanta, pushing her new group further and further out. As they encounter deadly obstacles and power-hungry survivors, the numbers in her group begin to dwindle, and she finds herself holding on to these people more and more. The struggle to maintain the groups humanity is a constant battle, but as relationships form between these strangers turned family, they're willing to carry each other as they pave the way to a new world. There's no denying that Willow has a strong bond with the younger Dixon brother. It came as a shock to everyone. They are two drastically different people, yet somehow they understand each other the most. From the moment they met at the quarry camp on the outskirts of Atlanta, their friendship was off to a rocky start. They both had shadows from their past that haunted them, but as their relationship progressed, those shadows were diminished as the flame between them grew. | [ Daryl Dixon x OC ] [ Some smutty content ] [ Slow burn ] [ Episode by episode ] [ Seasons 1 - 11 ] [CONTAINS SOME ORIGINAL PLOTS] [ Started 11/25/22 ] [ Finished : ONGOING ] | * I do not own any of the characters or story line besides Willow and her story | Highest Ranks: #1 - TWD #1 - thewalkingdead #1 - daryldixon #1 - maggiegreene #1 - rickgrimes #1 - carlgrimes #1 - normanreedus #1 - daryl #1 - reedus #1 - carolpeletier

The world as we knew it came crashing down with the outbreak of a deadly virus that caused the dead to rise and seek out human flesh. Amidst the chaos, Rick Grimes was presumed dead, and his wife and son were forced to flee the city to stay alive. Accompanying them was Lori's closest friend, who took on the responsibility of caring for her friend's son alongside her in the absence of his father. When Rick unexpectedly returned, the friend showed immense relief, even more so than his wife. As they struggled to survive in a world overrun by the undead, they found solace in each other's company. They slowly began to develop a deep emotional bond, having shared numerous losses, one of which pushed them closer together than all the others. {WARNING THIS STORY MAY CONTAIN GRAPHIC/MATURE CONTENT, IF YOU ARE SENSITIVE TO ANYTHING SKIP THE CHAPTERS WITH WARNINGS OR READ WITH CAUTION, ALL TOPICS THAT ARE MENTIONED WILL BE APPROACHED WITH CAUTION - THEY MAY CONTAIN - SEX - SEXUAL CONTENT- CHEATING - TORTURE - MURDER - SCARS (POSSIBLE SH RELATION) - POSSIBLE MENTIONS OF SA - ZOMBIES - REANIMATED CORPES - APOCTOLYPTIC WORLD - ABUSE - CHILD DEATH - ADULT DEATH - AND OTHER MATURE CONTENT OF THE SORTS.} Started: July 2024
