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?

Ready for Another Life  By  sinners0prayer

Mature | complete | Rick/Negan

Summary:

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.

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.

Flinch By The_Readers_Muse

Mature | complete | Carol/Daryl

Summary:

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.
