The Walking Dead Recs

summary: Daryl is done with dating, with Alphas, with the whole 'mates forever' b.s. He just wants a kid, no baggage or emotional investment required. When he meets Rick Grimes, a loner cop who seems to be just as uninterested in a relationship as he is, it seems like a perfect fit. Get the pretty Alpha, have a baby, and good riddance to everything else. What could possibly go wrong?

summary: While taking his kids to the park, Rick stumbles into a magic act at a birthday party.

summary: They’ve been on the run for weeks, well, more like drifting from place to place. But it’s still been weeks. And if you had told Beth four months ago that this is how it would end, she would have laughed and shook her head because, no freaking way.

Summary: Rick Grimes is the sheriff's deputy of Red Canyon, a small southwest town. Negan is an ex-professional baseball player from California keen on making Red Canyon interesting. After Rick pulls Negan over for speeding, a relationship starts to form between the lawman and outlaw.

After the sudden death of his wife, Rick Grimes closed himself off from the world to focus on what was left of his family...until he meets a man with a foul mouth and a ready smirk who reawakens feelings Rick thought long-buried. But something about the man’s past doesn’t quite add up.

(Or: a Pretty Woman AU)

The last thing Rick Grimes remembers is Negan swinging Lucille down onto his head, and then he's waking up in a hospital bed from a coma. All he can remember is the life he had been living before, and he doesn't understand why nothing is adding up. Then Carl walks in, and everything seems worth the nightmares until a man he never wanted to see again appears in the doorway. And then suddenly he's faced with a reality that isn't his, one where he has been in a relationship with Negan for years. And now Rick needs to figure out what the hell is going on, and why any version of himself would ever fall for a man like Negan.

The one where Rick is born during the apocalypse, meets Negan and they kind of become best friends.

This will be a chapter fic showing Shane and the reader throughout the events of the show, with some twists!

This is a slow burn romance that intertwines with the events in the show, beginning in season three and exploring the time at the prison between 3 and 4.

Nayna’s a fierce, loyal, protective woman. Like Daryl, she works best alone, but unlike him, she doesn’t want to be alone. She’s always wanted to belong, and she’s finally found her place. She’s become Rick’s confidant, his friend, the one he can rely on. And he’s her rock when things are rough. All of that changes with the arrival of Negan and the Saviors. It is Rick who sells her out to Negan, sending her on a traumatic journey, in order to protect the ones they love the most. It’s the price they pay for safety and love.

Four years have passed since their sanctuary at the prison fell at the hands of the Governor and the surviving members are now thriving at their new home just north of Atlanta. Out of the blue, late one afternoon, Daryl Dixon stumbles across someone they thought they’d lost long ago; a member of the Woodbury community that had returned with Rick to the prison.

You'd think that with the end of the world, people would have stopped taking chances on long shots and maybes and just left him the hell alone. Because despite trying to keep the others at an arm's length, Rick, Glenn, Dale, Carol – the lot of them had only started to gravitate closer. After the CDC and the highway it had gotten worse. He wasn't sure how, or even why, but he couldn't for the life of him figure out how to make it stop. …How he could stop.
