Two siblings, an ocean away from home, get swept up in the chaos of a changing world. One trying to remember the feel of a smile, the other trying to lay plans. Everything changes when they let the outcast of a group into their circle. Daryl/OC This is a slow and I mean slow, proper Daryl/OC story. Combination of comics and show. Current time frame: season 3

I'm Alice, and I'm trying not to go mad in a world that has left sanity and humanity behind. With my brother, the only family I have left, a state away, it seems like a snowball's chance in Hell I'll make it, but that isn't enough to stop me. With nobody but my dog to help me get there, I fear I might lose my mind - if not my life. It's a risk I'm willing to take.

Merle was separated from the group through his own actions - but we all know that wouldn't have been the end of him - and that somehow he would find his way back to his brother. This is how he got there and the strange pairing OC that just happened.

Amelia abandons her group of survivors in the post apocalyptic world. When her life is saved by Daryl, she must make the decision to join his group or stand alone. The decision is complicated by the love/hate relationship she develops with Daryl.
