  Summary

  Rick Grimes x Female OC

  Six years after the world ended, Rick was taken from his loved ones in Alexandria and forced to be a consignee for the Civic Republic. He feels himself slipping away as each of his attempts to escape back to his dear Michonne and Judith fail. Two years into his contract, a new consignee, Maisie Parker, an odd and spontaneous twenty-two-year-old girl, somehow wriggles her way into his life. As they learn how to navigate this new place, they learn not everything is as it seems. Nothing has been the same for either of them since.

  -Don't worry if you haven't seen The Ones Who Live, I fill in all of the plot :)

  This story is intended for mature readers as there is gore and graphic sexual content.

  (I do not own Rick Grimes, or any characters from The Walking Dead.)
