  Summary

  This story takes place with Rick and Daryl officially meeting for the first time. It also covers mental abuse from Lori and their divorce. It's a slow burn, because Daryl is well...Daryl. Where will this story take the boys? You'll just have to read!

  There are mentions of gore and violence. I will place trigger warnings around each chapter. But I will never go into great detail about any of it.

  I'm not the best writer. But I want to get better and grow. It's always been something fun for me.
