She was broken. He was lost. As they try to put themselves back together in a scary new world, Daryl and Melissa find something neither of them ever thought possible… love. "Stunning", "Beautiful", "Addictive", "Outstanding writing and imagination." Not a show re-write, but a new take on a story we all love. O/C, Romance, Suspense, Eventual Lemons. Slow Burn. Give it a try!

It had been eight years, but I could still remember every little detail to his face, the way he smelled, how his body felt against mine. I wasn't sure it was them causing all this commotion in Boston, but I knew if it was, there was no way I was gonna let him get away a second time. Rated M for language and smut. Follows Spiritus Sancti One-Shot.

Stay strong and fight this new world, survive, but never forget where you came from, everyone you loved and cared for. Take one day at a time and keep holding on. Daryl/Oc
