Summary
✰ THE END'S NOT NEAR. ITS HERE.
Bo Howell spent ten years running from the girl her father made her—trading rifles for rolling pins, survival skills for therapy sessions, and her childhood name for something that didn't taste like blood. At twenty-eight, she owns a bakery, rescues a cat, and has almost convinced herself she's normal.
Then the world ends.
Suddenly, every instinct she buried becomes the only thing keeping her and around around her alive.
Now she's got a gun, a cat, a traumatized kid who claims her as family, and a slow-burning thing with a redneck tracker who's just as damaged as she is. The apocalypse doesn't care that she wanted to be soft. It only cares that she knows how to survive.
And Bo's starting to realize: you can't outrun what you were built for.
!! THIS STORY IS A REWRITE FIX IT FIC, OF MY OWN FIC! The end is near 2.0 !!

Summary
Molly Bennett is fiercely loyal and battle-hard to a fault, even before the world fell and the dead rose. She's spent her life on the edge-haunted by her past, pushed and pulled by a father's demands, surviving every time the world tried to break her. Hurt once, twice, a hundred times, she keeps getting back up. On the road through ruins and reckonings, Molly finds a father figure who doesn't just protect her-he teaches her. He shows her how to breathe through fear, fight smart, move quiet, and stay safe without losing herself. He stands between her and the worst of it when he has to, and pushes her forward when he knows she can.
Can a girl who's been through hell learn to live, not just survive-or is that just the way things are?
[Warning: This story contains dark subject matter including graphic depictions of violence, strong language, and strong themes of sexual and physical abuse. Reader discretion is heavily advised.]

Summary
Adrienne Blake's life, if you can even call it that, is a mess. Estranged from her family as a result of her mother's death and living with an asshole boyfriend she only likes when she's high, she's all set up to become another sad story on the news. Until the dead start walking.

"Where'd you come from?" Shane questions. "You're a long way from the refugee center."
"Atlanta."
"Oh, you poor thing," Lori breathes, stricken, exchanging a glance with Shane. "We never made it into the city, but we… we saw the bombs."
I didn't know there was a refugee center. This is the first time I've been outside in… God, it must be months now. We've been cooped up at home for weeks, waiting for the pandemic to pass. I must look about as clueless as I feel, because the questions stop.
"We're glad you're with us," Shane says eventually, making eye contact with me in the rearview. "Makin' it outta that city on your own? We could use somebody like you."
Somebody like me. Right.

Summary
Beth Greene is not dead. Though it is not for a lack of trying.
After eight long years spent in the CRM's grasp, struggling to find reasons to continue surviving, Beth finally finds her reason: Rick and Daryl are alive, and they are closer than she ever could've guessed. Now she must take advantage of her only opportunity to escape and track them down.
Along the way, she revisits all of the places that changed her into who she has become. And she is forced to remember who she truly is at heart despite how unrecognizable she finds herself.
But she has an unexpected ally along for the journey. Just the same as her, he is somewhat of a living miracle. Except he's no longer living... he's a walker.

Summary
Not everyone in the zombie apocalypse is a survivalist, or military, or bushcraft person. Sometimes, a survivor is a retail worker. And sometimes 'have a nice day' can mean 'fuck you'.
This is a love letter to all the people who work(ed) retail and customer service. You, too, will survive a zombie virus. And maybe get to kiss Daryl Dixon.-

Summary
Sally Parker wouldn't wish waking up in a TV show zombie apocalypse on her worst enemy and yet that is exactly what happened to her. Now she's got to figure out how to not only survive but thrive.

Summary
“I need you to listen to me. When we're out there together, if I say run, run. If I tell you to leave me, then damn it, you leave and you don't look back."
"Daryl," she sighed softly, shaking her head.
"No, I mean it," he argued, encircling her wrist and jostling her a bit, begging her to listen. "I can't lose you. Not like that, not ever."
His words were like lava bubbling in his throat, everything he had fought so hard to conceal was quickly rising to the surface. Fuck it. Any fear of rejection was overpowered by his need to make her understand. It wouldn't change how he felt, or the fact that he'd take on a thousand walkers if it kept her safe for even one more millisecond.
"I need you around, Ace.”
"Always."

Cas adopts a gaggle of kids, performs casual miracles (like restoring Carl’s eye), Claire and Enid appoint themselves as his protectors (COUGH surrogate daughters COUGH), all while Cas continues to confound, terrify, and astound everyone unprepared to meet an awesome cosmic alien in the apocalypse AKA an Angel of the Lord. Meanwhile, Dean and Sam are on the hunt to find Cas… and end up in the crosshairs of the war with the Saviors.
Which could not be more problematic, because Negan = John Winchester.

The dead starts rising when Winchesters are still young. They meet Dixon brothers. Everyone has their secrets but they stick together to survive, for now.
Honestly, the plot is only an excuse to write Daryl/Dean smut...

Love and violence had always come wrapped around one another in my life. Until her. And I wasn't sure I knew how to untangle them.
Dixon men loved in anger and fists and blood. I couldn't risk loving someone that way.

But sometimes growing up means growing apart and when Naomi's ambitions and Daryl's loyalty to his brother drive a wedge between them, the end of the world might be the only thing to bring them back together again.

Summary
There are possibilities behind the facts, which are as follows: Jesus likes Daryl, has for about as long as they’ve known each other’s names. He cares for Daryl, not because he must, but because it feels right when so much in their world is wrong. He wants to follow Daryl through pain and anger and confusion just for the chance to reach something beyond that, something like comfort and happiness and love.

He plopped a big soup spoon into the can of stew and then handed it to her. “Put that in your talkin’ hole an’ quit your yappin’.”
“Your bedside manner leaves a lot to be desired, Nurse Daryl. I’d like to speak to your manager.”
“Speak to this,” he deadpanned, and raised his middle finger.

"He’s sure the second he sees those eyes, but he talks himself out of it, tells himself it’s not possible. Here, all these years later, miles and miles from Atlanta, it can’t be him. He was never a math whiz, but even he knows a statistical anomaly when he sees one."
Or the one where Daryl and Paul first met at thirteen in a group home in Atlanta.
