I'm supposed to say that this is the story of how I died, but I guess the universe has a sense of humor. Those walkers ate me. Somehow, someway, this isn't the afterlife. I've been brought back to the beginning of the apocalypse. Is this a second chance, or a curse? How can a story that's ended still keep on going? Eventual Daryl/OC asexual romance. Rewrite of Back to Basics.

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. The ending will be different!

The sparking of an irresistible attraction between Daryl and Carol upends both of their lives.

I have other Abby stories so you might want to check those out) Warning: this story contains sexual abuse!
