Summary
Nora had survived the quarry, the farm, and now, the winter. She'd gained and lost so much, including her own identity as a Peletier. As she follows the group to the prison to start a new life, Nora must find her own way. She was a girl who could not survive, but now, she was a girl who managed to survive even when she did not want to. With newfound trust and responsibility, as well as new relationships to fight for, Nora must learn who 'Nora' is beyond a sister or daughter.

Summary
When Daryl and Beth flee the prison, they take Judith with them. Neither are confident they'll see Rick again, but they both know they owe it to him to try to give the baby the best life possible. During their travels, they meet Aaron, and decide life in Alexandria Safe-Zone would be Judith's best bet at a relatively normal (for their world, anyway) childhood.
The only thing is, not wanting to risk the chance of anyone separating the unconventional little family they've formed on the road, Beth looks Aaron dead in the face and lies. It's not the most romantic marriage proposal he's ever heard, but Daryl certainly isn't opposed.

Summary
(Oh, his heart stung. I made you.
And then, wearily rational: I’m going to have to watch you die.)•
Daryl lost his daughter to her grandparents and Virginia two years before the world ended. Usually things stayed like that, gone forever, and second chances never came rolling around. But then she appears right when he's with Joe's group of men. Alive, not dead-- just one more thing he might lose all over again.

Summary
It was only meant to be a quick pharmacy run for some cold meds for Beth. Instead, Daryl Dixon runs into a teenage boy with a walker bite in his leg. During a desperate moment the boy reveals what he has been protecting - sending a little girl running right into Daryl’s arms.
Vienna is four years old, frightened, and alone. She likes the colors pink and silver, finger paints, and not listening to screams. She likes the grumpy man who rescued her too, even if he tries to pass her off to others.
Daryl is not fixing to be anybody's father or even uncle, so he leaves her in the care of folks he thinks can do the job properly. He doubts that he ever could, or should. Yet Vienna keeps bouncing back to him. When the prison falls, he realizes he must take her or she will be alone.
Somehow, the two become a tiny family all on their own and Daryl’s heart becomes that little bit fuller.

Summary
A story about falling in love with Daryl Dixon, but realllllly, really slowly and (hopefully) realistically. This chaptered story spans the entirety of the Walking Dead TV series, and perhaps extends into the time period in which Daryl travels to France, Spain, and beyond. It's sweet and romantic and takes quite a while for the good stuff to get started, just like it would with the real Daryl Dixon. If you want to truly immerse yourself into the TWD world and re-frame the entire thing around what a romantic relationship with everyone's favorite archer might be like, this story is for you.

Summary
Lennon Wilde is a vet tech in Atlanta when the world falls apart. Days later, she's in the woods with a dog and a knife, and Daryl Dixon is the one who finds her.
She can field dress game, knows her way around wounds, and learned young how to make herself useful enough to keep around. The apocalypse just requires her to do it faster—survive harder, adapt quicker.
Daryl Dixon doesn't waste words. Doesn't explain himself. Doesn't do people. But survival throws them together, and some walls come down brick by brick—whether you meant to drop them or not.
The dead are walking. The living are dying. And somewhere between the quarry and the highway and every desperate mile after, staying alive starts looking different than either of them expected.
Found family. Survival. Two damaged people learning what it costs to let someone stay.
Canon divergent. (Season 1+)
