Hey welcome! I hope you get some happy nostalgia and find a good escape while you’re here.
The Slowpoke Series can be found here, along with all Reader Requests (including the two Fabulously Confident Reader stories).
Everything, including the link to the Chronological Slowpoke List, can be found under “Keep Reading.”
I highly recommend going ham and diving in! You’ll find every chapter listed in order of publishing, from oldest on top to newest on the bottom.
Kindness spam is always welcome for any story or chapter, even the oldies!
This series is reader-insert, has Daryl x Reader as the end goal, is fairly wholesome, and is canon-compliant (as much as fanfiction has that capability when adding a new character XD).
Reader doesn’t have a specific look. Twangy accent, yes, but their looks match whatever you look like.
I’m fixing to stick to canon and shove you right into and in between the episodes.
That thing season 10 and that thing in spinoff season 2 (y’all know the things) :P will be reworked into non-romantic relationships or a one-sided deal, no cheating or adultery will take place whatsoever, cross my heart!
The stories are not all in chronological order in terms of when things take place, there are some time jumps. But never fear, the time frame of each one is specified at the top. I don’t know about y’all, but I love me some non linear storytelling :) When the chapters are written out of order, it’s on purpose.
All pronoun info along with trigger warnings are noted at the top of each story.
For those who prefer a tidy timelines, we got us a chronological chapter list now, too!
Again, please remember that while Shane is the reader’s big brother, their family isn’t solely blood related. The reader looks just like you (this is me asking that you imagine yourself as you are)
Any amount is a blessing and could really help right now, and Ko-fi doesn’t charge fees. Please toss anything in the Tip Jar
