There was no other option. [Sequel to Not Too Far Gone Yet ]

When Merle was dishonorably discharged from the army, it wasn't so cut and dry. And when the dead start to rise, he runs into the only other person who knows the truth behind it: This is a Daryl/OC story. She's an old friend of Merle's basically. I came up with this summary in a rush. Slow burn for sure.

Shaking his head Merle scoffed at the strange situation. He just threw away a cushy life in a secure town where he had three squares, a bed to sleep in and a few girls he liked to f**k. Now? Now he was out in the wild with a short little girl who probably didn't know her ass from her elbow even if she did claim to be able to take care of herself. Merle/OC Gore, Lang, Smut.

Quinn is a woman living in Alexandria, who was secretly in love with Daryl Dixon, but then something happened and she found herself in a strange situation. This is a romance focused The Walking Dead fanfiction. (Yes, the show has tons of couples, one or two more doesn't count. ;)) I recommend reading it for 18 people, since the show is 18 too.

Abigail is the daughter of Rick Grimes. She's tough, free-spirited, independent, funny and always getting into trouble. She's very close with her dad and Daryl Dixon. This is a random TWD spinoff that doesn't have much to do with the events of the show. (Abby is my o/c. I have other Abby stories so you might want to check those out) Warning: this story contains sexual abuse!

AU: Tragedy, fire, and horrific luck separate Lori and the children from the others after the Greene farm falls. After years spent pretending to be the perfect housewife and PTA mom, Lori must reach into her past for the skills to keep the kids alive.

(This is a walking dead spin-off). Emma Dixon is Daryl's daughter (yeah he couldn't believe it either). She's like her father, hides her emotions a lot, cares deeply for family, is hard to control when angry, and isn't afraid of dirt and mud. But she's also a girl, juggling relationships, day to day life and drama. No more than her father, of course.

An extended weekend at a Wellness Retreat can bring upon unexpected results and maybe even love. Rick is a widower raising his young son Carl while struggling to run a business.

Being brave wasn't something Quinn was good at. She was a follower, not a leader. But when reports of people biting other people, and the dead rising turns the world into a horrifying nightmare, she has no choice but to change or die. (Primarily follows the TV series, but there is some crossover with the telltale games).

Rick dreams of the past. He's sure he's stuck in a dream, trying to wake up, to get back to his family. He plays along since he can't seem to wake up. But increasing signs point to the fact that this isn't a dream. This is happening. Does he really have a chance to fix everything? To save his family? To make a better life?
