It is based primarily on the storyline from AMC's The Walking Dead, and uses the characters and relationships from the show. It begins just before the first battle with the Saviors (the end of season 7 of the show), and assumes the storyline follows Robert Kirkman's comic going forward. If you are not a reader of the comic, there may be some Season 8 spoilers here if the show follows the book closely.

Following closely the third season of the series, this story reveals the life of a fifteen year old survivor, Quinn, and her unusually close, but platonic, relationship with Merle Dixon as they survive the apocalypse together. Having lost her family in the first few weeks of the outbreak, Quinn is no stranger to the horrors this new world brings. The only silver lining was having Merle Dixon find her on the precipice of death and nurse her back to health. Because of that, Quinn has irrevocably bonded with the man on a deep level. Perhaps she is too deeply entwined in his life, too blind to what he has done, and what he is capable of. Perhaps she doesn't know the true Merle Dixon. Nevertheless, she will follow the older man to hell and back, and that truth will be tested in the time to come. Flashbacks are in italic. The Walking Dead does not belong to me, and all characters and dialogue belong to them. Chapters follow (for the most part) the plot from the episode, and some dialogue is taken directly from the show.

Several bodies are found in the area of a small town. In this town lives Daryl, the killer of all those people. The investigation goes on, the profile is made, and now the police and the FBI look for a specific type, a loner type, ... Daryl's type. He decides to find himself a roommate in an attempt to mislead the police. Let's see how that will turn out for him. AU pre-apocalypse horror story. Obviously very OOC Daryl. The story is so AU you can read it even if you are not a fan of The Walking Dead. Rated M for a good reason, violence, foul language, adult content, it's all there, consider yourself warned.

Jody has gone most of her life being known as Dixon's Girl. Perhaps it's because their trailers are right next door. Maybe it is the way they were forced to sit next to eachother in class. Or maybe, the reason behind the nickname, is the fact that she and daryl were completely and utterly in love. She always wondered if it was their sick and twisted father's which created the connection. They found solace in eachother. But the harsh truth is that Jody doesn't know why she fell for daryl.

Living without the group that he has come to love, has left him as nothing more than a shell of the man he used to be. One day after a brutal fight, he stumbles upon a run-down shack in the woods. As he lay dying on the dirty floor, his life is saved by a complete stranger. These two loners find that living life together is so much better than doing it alone. I haven't written a story in the first person since Broken. It's not as easy as it sounds, but I enjoyed the challenge. This story has taken me months to write and I finished it just days after the Season 8 midseason finale. Any similarities to that episode are pure coincidence. I wrote the chapter (You'll know which one) months before Season8 even started. For anyone that is newly following me or reading my books, I write differently than most. You only start to get chapters once the entire story is written. And it finally is. I hope everyone enjoys Angel.

Reagan and Daryl didn't get along at first. But as the months passed by, they found themselves putting aside their differences, becoming closer to each other everyday.
