Summary
This is the sequel series to For Me The World Ended. A story about Daryl Dixon finding a young girl named Eulalie and becoming her father figure. This sequel will take place in the nine years Daryl and Eulalie are out looking for Rick Grimes and possibly a little into the whisperers era. So Eulalie will grow up to be almost eighteen by the end of it. There might also be some Daryl/Jesus sprinkled in.
If you haven't read the first and don't want to that's fine, all you should know is that Eulalies biological family is Negan and Lucille and that Merle and Sophia are still alive. Otherwise it is mostly accurate to the show. Mostly.

Summary
If you asked Sloane Savage, a Pennsylvania native herself, if she identified with the creature called the squonk, she’d say no on first instinct. However, one must not let her outward beauty deceive them because lurking in the depths of her soul, she is indeed squonk-like–full of self-loathing, hatred, and sadness. She hadn’t always been that way. Her life was far from picturesque, but no one’s ever really was. All the while still, she never found herself wanting because the Lord had done well by her, providing her with all that she thought she could ever need. Those things have a way of changing though as life works its dreadful, bony hands on us. It was what came after the Wildfire Virus that did her in.

Summary
Merle Dixon was, is and always would be a cruel man.
He was like a disease, a dark decaying stain that would rot anything it came into contact with. Anyone who stuck around long enough would end up being dragged down to Merle’s sodden level, until whatever good they had left in them was entirely snuffed out.Daryl knew this. He’d seen it his entire life. Just like he'd seen it happen to you.
How long could Daryl just sit by and watch Merle destroy another life?

Summary
Daryl Dixon’s life didn’t start until the end of the world. Not really anyway. Everything up until that point felt like he was walking the Earth as no more than a wraith that no one cared to notice. His life was a colossal waste of space–devoid of any true meaning. Enough people had said as much. He was a poor, unloved kid from the middle of the Styx that grew up to be a poor, unloved man who chased after his eldest brother, against his better judgement. But when the Wildfire Virus spread just as quickly as its namesake, Daryl’s soul purpose emerged. The name of the game became survival, and if he was good at one thing in life, it was surviving. That’s all his life had ever been and all that it would ever be. Of that, he was sure.

Summary
Daryl Dixon has survived a lot, but captivity at the Sanctuary is something else entirely. Negan expects defiance, resistance—anything but the unsettling silence he’s met with. It doesn’t take long for him to realize that Daryl’s scars run deeper than the ones his men left behind. What starts as a game of control shifts into something more complicated as Negan finds himself drawn into a puzzle he didn’t expect to care about solving. And Daryl? He’s spent his whole life learning that trust is dangerous—but maybe, just maybe, survival doesn’t have to mean enduring alone.

Summary
She’s everything Daryl Dixon isn’t. Well-read, controlled, careful. He’s impulsive, closed-off, and impossible to read. They clash. They argue. They don’t make sense. And still— they can’t seem to stay away from each other. Even when they try. Even when they should.

"Daryl, I'm sorry." T-Dog stood stiff next to a queasy looking Glenn. He looked shocked, his eyes wide as he looked from Daryl to Merle. He practically reeked of guilt and remorse. While he may not have liked Merle, T-Dog wasn't a bad guy. "I thought the door would hold. I-I'm sorry."

Summary
"This was the price to pay to maybe, maybe, maybe one day be accepted as part of the group. He just had to show them that he could be useful, he could be good. He could rise above the curse of being a Dixon, he could make them forget the unpleasantness that stuck to his skin more stubbornly than dirt. If he tried hard enough, maybe they could stop thinking about how stupid and rash and undeserving he was. And even if they couldn’t, maybe they could simply overlook it, overlook him, forget that they were supposed to have an opinion on him in the first place. He would never give them another reason to cast him out. Then, he could stay."
Or, the one in which Daryl overworks himself and the group deals with the aftermath.
Set in between season 2 and 3 (before the prison).
