Rick and Michonne navigate the tumultuous hurdles of their growing relationship, as outside influences fight to tear them apart . AU. No zombies, no apocalypse.
If Jessie had survived No Way Out, how long do you think the relationship with her and Rick would have lasted, or if it would have happened at all. This is assuming both her sons survive. I love Richonne but it always irks that if Jessie had survived, somehow Michonne would have moved onto someone else and it wouldn’t have happened. Would love to know your thoughts!!!
Thanks for wanting to know my thoughts! 💖 If Jessie and her sons had survived NWO, I think whatever was going on with Rick and Jessie would have lasted for exactly 0 days going forward.
I detailed more about why I think that below ⬇️:
I really do believe Rick had come to his senses about Jessie before that arm chop even occurs, and whatever interest that had been there was pretty much gone after he kissed her. It was like after that kiss, he woke up to the fact that pursuing something romantic with her really wasn’t something that he wanted and wouldn’t be the Lori replacement nor the Running-From-Being-In-Love-With-My-Son’s-Best-Friend fix that he subconsciously thought it’d be.
Rick is a very physically affectionate guy, so when Jessie put her hand on his face in 6.08 and he had zero reaction or warmth back, that was another indicator to me that he knew there were no real feelings there. Everything about that Jessie pursuit stemmed from Rick being in a very rough mental state. Plus, I think in the eps leading up to NWO, Rick was already becoming more aware that Carl and Ron have real issues with each other, and so on top of him no longer being interested in that way, her son having major issues with him and his son really would have him knowing it was never gonna work with their families.
So even if they all survived, I think coming so close to losing ASZ and overcoming that horde in NWO would still have Rick getting reflective about how life is too short to not go after who you really want (Michonne), and so he’d stop the Jessie stuff very quickly. Rick and Jessie's thing was a dead end, and I think Rick was already on his way to knowing that and having a turning point around that time in S6.
Regarding the last part of the message, I’m a proud member of the Richonne is Inevitable ministry, so I strongly believe Richonne would still happen no matter what. Now, if the writers had forced a Rick and Jessie official coupling (which would be such a wrong move 😖) then it'd be likely that they have Michonne pair up with some other guy (which a version of the TWD TV series where Richonne doesn’t get together feels like the darkest timeline for real lol). But in-show, I don’t think Michonne would even have time to move onto someone new because after the realizations both her and Rick were coming to around that 6.08/6.09 time, I think Rick would be setting his intentions to be with Michonne even clearer and be even more outward with his want for her. And Michonne would be much more cognizant that she sees Rick as much more than a friend. So Richonne would still have gotten together shortly after NWO imo. 👌🏽

Olá, eu acompanho tudo sobre dandy e richone desde que esses dois fizeram a primeira cena juntos eu percebi que não era só os personagens ali sempre teve algo mais além nas cenas deles principalmente no spin-off recente bom não tem como negar que esses dois estão apaixonados um pelo outro só não ver quem não quer se ele estiver casado ainda é só por aparência nossa quando o andrew tá com a danai ele parece ser o cara mais feliz do mundo já com a esposa já não posso dizer a mesma coisa o que vc acha?
Searching for peace from her hectic life in the city, newfound businesswoman Michonne Hawthorne moves to a small town and meets lifelong resident Rick Grimes.
Hello! I am a die hard Richonner and have been wanting to ask you if you really thought Dandy are a couple in real life on the DL. Danai doesn't seem like the other woman type, but who knows. Thanks!
I hole hardly believe that they are couple irl because they are to smitten with each other on and off screen and the way they are with one another is crazy and andy is very inappropriate with danai on so many levels, and this is just my personal opinion I don't believe andy is really married I think it's just pr related because what man you know spend quality time with a female costar/coworker all alone with no one around and on top of the he left the show to spend time with his family but he was never home so how sway
Hi, I’m new to the fandom community and I’m really interested in knowing all the tea on the whole Andy, His Wife, Danai and Nicotero drama. I’ve been catching up on all things Rick and Michonne, it’s a very interesting love story.
Thanks.
Basically every since twd towl came out and andy being andy doing things a "married man" ain't supposed to be doing and alot of richonners and dandy folks been noticing
