#IPUT TOO FUCKING MUCH OF MY TIME INTO THIS

sorry your boyfriend died in a barfight, on some nameless backwater asteroid . yeah, after countless lifetimes of carving through every sensation its possible to feel, he was stabbed clean through the heart, and this time, for some reason, it stuck. yeah and when he realized what happened, he laughed for the first time in a millennia . witnesses said that they've never before seen someone so viciously excited to die. sorry
sorry your partner died, drunk as a skunk at the very end of time. yeah they were cast forward by a freak accident, and they watched as the stars winked out, and then they lit a cigar, the last point of illumination in the universe, and dropped the match into the gasoline as a final fuck you.
sorry your girlfriend's research became monotonous and her observations dull, she decided to partake in one final experiment. yeah she took a fragment of the ship once known as aurora, and she casted herself into that black hole. yeah beyond the event horizon there, maybe to die, maybe to learn something new one last time.
sorry your boyfriend felt the end coming for a while . his aim wandered by nanometers and his explosions seemed somewhat... lacklustre. yeah and he returned to a planet that he'd been saving up for a very special occasion . yeah the one that built the largest gunship existence would ever see . and he went on a final rampage . stars shattered at the thunder of his guns until, at last, he crashed into a space station. yeah sorry he wasnt wearing his seatbelt.
sorry your girlfriend tried to retire, and spent her final centuries on a small library planet with those books that meant so much to her . yeah unfortunately, the library did what they are so prone to and burnt in a pointless war . and she fell launching an escape pod piled high with ancient texts that scholars said were actually... quite a dull read.
sorry your boyfriend always approached the concept of immortality with a little bit more skepticism than the rest of them, so his end came as less of a surprise. yeah one day, at something of a loose end, he decided to check on the octokittens . unfortunately, the purring horde hadnt been fed in ... many decades , and devoured him . head to toe . in 11.7 seconds . at least, by my watch.
sorry your boyfriend missed his first beat, he knew exactly what it meant . he considered briefly the fire and bloodshed on his compatriots , but in the end the only thing that felt right was to complete the cycle . and he casted himself into the void . yeah his body will float there forever, far beyond the warmth of any stars .
sorry your partner, of course, well... it was never real to begin with . and, when all its friends were finally gone, it decided to stop pretending.

Emmett
I wake up to a noise that shouldn't be happening.
There's someone downstairs.
A quick peek tells me it's not Finnegan but I knew that already because the dude downstairs has on shoes.
I grab my gun and shake him gently awake.
"Shh, be quiet. Get under the bed, Finnegan," I whisper.
He's about to say something so I put my hand over his mouth.
"Now. Get under the bed, take your cell-phone but don't call the cops yet."
I head to the door and press myself against the wall, listening.
Yes, definitely someone and it sounds like they're alone but I can't be sure.
I take the safety off and yell down to him.
"Get the fuck out of my house. If you come towards the stairs I will shoot your sorry ass. I'm a trained sharp-shooter, do not fucking test me. Use the back door and get out now. You've got fifteen seconds."
I spare a second to look back at the bed but Finnegan is nowhere in sight.
Good.
This isn't going to get ugly but if it does... I don't want him involved.
"No matter what happens, stay right there. Do you have your cell-phone?"
He whispers...
"Yes."
Good.
It's quiet downstairs, too quiet.
I make my way to the top of the stairs, keeping myself hidden and listen.
The bastard is in my living room.
Probably working on taking the PlayStation.
"Do you think I'm fucking kidding? This is a warning, the next one hits you."
I know my house well and shoot a round through the railing, straight down into the basement.
The chances of hitting him are zero but scaring him?
That I sure did because he's running through the kitchen.
I follow him once he's gone, smart enough to keep the lights out.
All I see is his back as he flees down the alley.
Good.
I go upstairs and check on Finnegan.
"Call 911 and tell them I just chased an intruder out and I'd like a drive-by to make sure he's really gone. You can come out, we're fine."
But he's not.
He has tears running down his face when he crawls out.
"Darling, you're okay."
I pull him into my arms and he's shaking.
Shit.
I grab my phone and call real quickly, then I can focus on him.
"You're okay?" he finally mumbles.
"Of course, you don't need to worry about me. A small hole to patch in the floor, that's all. He's gone."
I rub his back but he's still trembling and I don't know what else to do.
"The cops will drive by a few times, he won't be back. We're fine, Finnegan."
There's a knock at the door and I was hoping to not have to see anyone but fine.
I pull on something resembling clothes, grab my license and gun box and go downstairs.
"Hey, officer."
"You the one that called? We have reports of a shot fired."
"That was me, shot into my basement to scare him. I had line of sight, it was just a warning."
"You have a license?"
"Of course. Gun is unloaded and it and my license are on the floor there in the box."
I step back and give him a minute to look through while his partner stares at me.
"Anything missing?"
"A PlayStation. Haven't looked through the rest yet but he went on foot and I don't have much else worth stealing down here."
He's taking notes.
"I know I won't get it back, no worries. Can you just do another drive-by tomorrow sometime?"
"Yeah, we'll canvas, make our presence known."
"Thanks."
It takes forever before they're gone and I wouldn't have even called them except for Finnegan.
I don't want him to worry but when I go back upstairs and he's still huddled on the floor... I know that he's gonna be scared either way.
Probably for awhile.
I reload my gun and put it in my nightstand, then Iput the box in the closet.
I'm gonna keep it close.
"Hey darling, we should get some more sleep."
"You shot at someone."
"No, I fired my gun. If I'd shot at him I would have hit him. You're safe with me, Finnegan. Always."
"There's a fucking gun in your nightstand."
"Yes."
He saw me put it in there.
"Is it loaded?"
"Yes and the safety is on."
We don't have little kids in the house and I know Finnegan won't touch it but maybe he needs to hear it.
"I don't want you to touch it."
"Like I would. Jeez."
We both crawl into bed and I pull him into my arms.
"Forget about it, we can replace the PlayStation, Mr. Moneybags."
"I'm not... I don't care about the fucking PlayStation, Emmett."
"Get some sleep, it'll be morning soon enough and we both have a full day." 
It takes me awhile to fall asleep and when I wake up the next morning he's gone and I'm nothing like rested.
I head into work but jump every time the door chimes and every time something clanks loudly.
I'm on edge and there's no reason for me to be.
Finnegan texts me about four o'clock.
Finnegan Walker: I've been thinking about it all day and I can't sleep there, Emmett. I'm gonna get a hotel room. Will you be there about seven so I can get some of my stuff?
Shit.
I expected it but that doesn't mean I like it.
Emmett Locke: Of course.
Finnegan Walker: You're welcome to stay with me.
Finnegan Walker:  Please. I need you tonight, Emmett.
It's my house.
I'm not going to let one asshole make me feel like it's not mine anymore.
Plus, I've got nothing left to steal and he was in there long enough to know that.
Still, maybe just for one night it would be alright.
I mean, Finnegan needs me. 
How can I say no?
Emmett Locke: Dinner at my place? Then we can pack and I'll stay with you tonight.
Finnegan Walker: DEAL

Pairings: Daryl Dixon x OFC
Chapter 5
Shit shit shit shit shit. This is really bad, this is beyond bad, and this is pure shit. The Practice run has turned into a real run, I mean at least we had the walls and stations all set up but still … shit. Our only choice was to spring into action, and of course that fool Carter had to start arguing saying we’re not ready, like we had a choice. We ran to get ahead of the horde, with Abraham and Sasha in a car behind Daryl on his bike, leading the horde away. I ran, and when Rick announced “now” I pulled the tripper on the flare, bringing the rotters towards me.
Running, so much running, I was lucky that I was fast, I did cross country in High school. Rick would occasionally come in with a few words of encouragement over the walkie talkies but mostly, it was just a mixture of following Glenn and instinct. Until our group found a store, and the noise of the walkers was loud, nearly overwhelmingly loud.
 “The noise is gonna distract the horde” Glenn stated, I could see from his hand gestures that he was freaking out, but trying to hide it. Some debate had started but it was getting pointless “Listen, They can either follow the path away from Alexandria, or be distracted by the this” I gestured at the closed door that the racket was coming from “And find their way there” Nicholas, and the other guy who’s name I couldn’t remember went silent, so I opened the door, ready to start shooting, only to see the metal sheet separating the walkers from us. Shit.
Glenn took a step back “Okay, we break the window” he explained “Then you, me and Heath will start shooting” Ahh Heath, there we go.  He turned to Nickolas, shoving the talkie onto his chest “If things go south radio Rick” Something serious must have happened, Glenn was normally pretty chill, but now he was close to freaking me out with the level of aggression. 
It was a close call but we got them all. And now, we’re creeping our way past the horde through the tree line. Then a blast made me fall onto my stomach, a loud horn was crippling my ears. I was never good with loud noises. Heath grabbed me just has the walkers were coming towards the noise, bringing us back to our previous activity of, you guessed it: running. Heath grabbed my arm and dragged me along for the first few meters, before I got my footing and took off. Shit this was even worse. Bile rose in my mouth just as I realized where the horn was coming from, where the kid was.
“shit shit shit” Panic was starting to build up and I felt my shoulders tighten and my mind go foggy. Seeing Rick looking dishevelled I went over to him “We’ll stop it” I said, not sure if I was trying to comfort him or myself but he was clearly panicked, just (once again) trying to hide it, they had something to prove to Alexandria, that they could do this. He was shifting his weight from leg to leg and rubbing his face, panting. He nodded at me “Yeah we will” Then his eyes went to the group that had caught up with me, most of the team who volunteered. He went on and explained his plan to try leading the horde away, that right now we had to get back to worn them.
 I didn’t listen, I couldn’t listen, the blood was pumping in my ears deafening me from the world.
**
Well, that was a shit day. I slumped agents the wall, exhausted but finally inside Alexandria. I looked down at my boots, scuffed up with cracked and creases in the leather, feeling my feet throb. Michonne and the rest of the group were quick to follow me, we lost Glenn and Nicolas somewhere along the way, but I was pretty confident they would fin they’re way back. I straighten up and something catches my eye on the street ahead. 
Aw no, please no. I walk closer to it “Aww fuck” that I say out loud.
A body
A danm body in the middle of the street.
Could this day get any worse?
A body, that means an attack. Looking around I see more bodies. More and more bodies. And no Carl, and no baby. Where is the baby?
I start running, fear striking me cold in the heart, and only one thing went through my mind: the baby. I go to Carl’s house first, gasping for both air and reassurance that he’s safe. I start calling for Carl.
 Nothing. 
My heart was thumping agents my ribs, threatening to crack them.  My vison goes blurry with fear. I’m calling his name more now, searching upstairs.
Not there. Where is the baby?
Panic took over, I’m running out of the house, screaming for Carl. No this can’t be happening. Jesus, Mary and the Donkey this isn’t happening. I’m getting light headed, and I can’t focus on anything. I crouch down trying to get a hold of myself, I’m no good if I’m this wound up. Just as my breaths started steading I felt a hand of my shoulder. Nearly jumping out my skin I fall over, seeing Carl looking down at me.
“Nina I’m here” He was way too calm, his shadow casting over me. With Judith in a baby carrier on his back and the boy, in his arms. I tried but I couldn’t hold back the sob. I attempted to stand, but my body shook with emotion, all I could do was stretch my arms out for the baby. Carl probably thinks I’m in a right state, which I am of course, but I sat there cradling my baby in the middle of the street, with my body shaking with release.
Neither infant nor teenager knew what to think of me, or what was really goin on. My nephew stared up at me with his big blue eyes, and all I could do was rock him and sob, letting heavy tears roll down my face.
“Thank you Carl” I said, still not looking up. “I thought ye were dead” I could barley manage it out, scared I would somehow jinx it and they would disappear.  He sat down next to me, further away then he normally would have, but I wasn’t exactly acting normal. “We were attacked, most people who couldn’t fight are now dead.” I hummed, not fully listening, only rocking my baby, he continued “Was it bad out there ? that horn would have attracted a few walkers, do ye think you’ll be ready for tomorrow ?”
I suddenly remembered that they don’t know yet. I pulled the baby up to my chest, hugging him. “The horde broke free today, half of it is coming our way” I stared off towards the gate, seeing Michonne telling Deanna, who didn’t seem to be taking it well.
“Shit” He cussed, I chuckled, thinking just how many times I’ve said that word in my mind today “My sentiments exactly” Iput my hand on his shoulder. He looked down and shook his head. “Well you know what this means”
I sighed , knowing full well what it meant. I started laughing, thinking just how fucked we really are, fucked, but not dead yet.
 “It means we’re gonna kill some sons of bitches”
Part one Part two Part three Part four Part six Part seven Part eight
Part nine Part ten Part eleven
AN: sorry this actually is turning out to be a slower burner then I thought

The walking dead - Together - Part 6
this is part 6, hope you enjoy...
Carl x reader
As you and Carl head back to Alexandria you guys hold hands and the sun is starting to rise
"The sun's coming up" Carl said
"We need to hurry" Carl identified
"(Y/N)" he exclaimed "Please... talk to me"
"Their dead..." You whispered
"They deserved it" Carl said trying to make you feel better, it only made you feel worse
"No one deserves to die" You argue
the rest of the walk home was quiet, you still held Carl's hand though, you felt safe with him
When you reach the walls of Alexandria Carl helps you up over the wall and you walk back to his house
You reach his back door
"Please stay" He says quietly
"What do you mean" you ask in a light tone
"Please just come lay down with me, i can't go to sleep if I know your upset, i'll feel better if your by my side" he whispers
"ok"
You follow him inside and you both go upstairs to his bedroom, you take your sweater off and sleep in your tank top and underwear, Carl takes his shirt off, you both climb in to his bed and whisp of to sleep while cuddling
You both wake up to Rick coming in Carl's room and asked why your here, as you sit up you don't only see Rick but you see Glenn and your Mom
"I'm sorry, I had a nightmare" You answered
"Again?" Maggie asked
"Yea, it was a bad one too" You yawned
"I didnt hear you though" Glenn proclaimed
"It was one of the bad one's" You said
"The Panic attack one" Maggie questioned
"Yeah" You replied
They quietly left the room, Rick then suddenly turns back and says "No funny business" and went back to his room
"Okay, let's go back too sleep" Carl proclaims
You execute his request as you lay back down in his arms and fall asleep
You then wake up to Carl still asleep and of course you try to not wake him up while you get out of bed
You then put his flanel on over your tank top and your short's on and head down stairs, when you reach the kitchen you see Michonne and Rick sitting at the table "Hey, (Y/N)" Rick greets
You reply with "Hi Rick, Hi Michonne"
"Did you sleep okay?" Rick sounding worried
"Yea, no nightmare's" You point out
Michonne then iput's "That's good, maybe on my next run I should try to find a dream catcher"
"It might actually help" You say optimistically
"What might help" Carl asks while coming into the kitchen wiping the sleep from his eyes
You reply while hugging him "A dream catcher" you proclaim
"That's pretty cool" Carl says, Carl then quickly asks "Are you gonna go to the Dinner tonight?
"I don't now, You'll have to see?" You answer unsurely
"What are you doing today?" Carls questions
"I'm probably going to work with my Mom in the garden" You reply
"Actually, (Y/N) i was wondering if you wanted to watch Judith while Me and Michonne are gone on a run" Rick inquired
"Oh, for sure! any time I can spend with Judith is well spent time, how long will you be gone" You say cheerfully
"not for long" Rick say's
Carl, why don't you help her with Judith?" Michonne asks
"Yeah why not" He reply's
You think that Michonne and Rick were up to something since their leaving you two alone in the house, Rick has never allowed you in the house together without someone being home
"Okay were gonna head out now, have fun" Rick said trying to hold in a laugh as leaving the house
"What do you think that was about?" You asked
"I have no clue" Carl said also questioning the situation
After watching Judith
You left Rick's house after hanging with Carl and Judith for the day, it was fun, you guys played board games and read comic's
You were out on the street when Ron started to approach, he waved you over
"Hey! (Y/N), what's up?" Ron said while meeting you on the other side of the sidewalk
"Nothing much, just got done babysitting Judith with Carl" you explain
"Oh cool, speaking of Carl..." He pauses for a second until he starts where he left off "Are you guy's a thing?"
"No, I don't think we are atleast" You look off into the distance
"Well, i don't know, anyway's will I see you at the Dinner tonight?" You ask him
"Only if your there" he says obviously trying something on me as he touched my arm
"I'll see you there then" I joke as I walk away going into my house leaving his arm loose from letting go of mine.
Carl's PoV: "Bye (Y/N)" I say as she walks down the porch as I close the door behind her
I go to the window in my room just to watch her walk away and eneter her house, but to my surprise she stops and walks over to Ron
I watch them as close as I can leaning into the closed window
I don't know what they're talking about but (Y/N) is smiling and I start to feel a bit unsettled by the fact
Then as you see your breath fog up the window you wipe it away and see Ron touching (Y/N) arm...
Something just fizzles up from inside of you from the fact that he is trying something on her
I punched the wall as hard as I could and there was now a hole inside my room beside the window, I yell out "Fuck" as my nuckles were now bleading and white from the dust and debris of the wall
I then go to the infirmary to get my knuckles cleaned up
While I was on my way there I saw Ron
I gave him a long harsh stare, he looked back with confusion but then realized why I was pissed and then he frowned at me
I keep walking
I try not to start anything and I head on over to the infirmary
Rosita is standing with a clipboard marking down how much medicine we have when I walk in, she says "Hey Carl, what's up" I point to my hand trying not to say anything
"Omg, what happened" she say's this as she runs to get the supplies to patch my hand up
"I puntched a wall... by accident" I say anxiously
"How do you punch a wall by accident" she asks hoping to get an answer out of me
"I was upset" I whisper as looking down to the ground while she set's the supplies on the table i'm leaning on
"Okay, I don't want to know why but I have a feeling it has to do with (Y/N)" she confidently add's
"And Ron" I admit
"Ohh..." she realizes "This might hurt" she pours the clear liquid onto your hand, it stings a bit and fizzes as I flinch from the pain
"Well just so you know, i'm rooting for you" She smiles, she then bandages your knuckles and she says "I actually have something for you"
"What's that?" I ask
"Advice" She pause's "Go find her something... a gift"
"Like what?" I wonder
"Like a necklace or a braclet... something that makes you think of her, something that she would want" She then gestures for me to go and get her back by looking at the door and giving a slight smirk
I get up and start heading towards the door then look back at her and say "Thanks." I then leave the infirmary and head to the spot where me and (Y/N) usually use to sneak out, I hop over the wall and start heading towards a town I know could'nt be any farther than 10 miniutes away
I come to the town and instantly see a jewlery store, the window at the front is smashed and it looks in bad shape but I am determind to get her back
I climb in through the broken window and start looking through the empty glass cases and tower's
Then I see a box and I open it hoping for some sort of remain... I open the small box that looks like a necklace or a ring could hold it but instead I found and empty cartrage and I wip it at the wall, it falls to the ground making a slight thump when hitting the ground, I leave the store and try looking in houses
The first house I look in was deserted and destroyed, I found nothing
The second and first houses were in okay shape but had been raided, i'm beginning to give up hope
Then I come to the second last house on the street and I caution as I open the brown wooden door, I start to clear the kitchen, then the living room and finally upstairs
The house was empty from any walkers and I was going up the stairs to look in more rooms, I walked into the first room and started checking for any jewelry... but admist there was nothing, I was'nt gonna give up yet so I checked the other room
I opened the door and it was a girl's room, my hope was getting restored
I walk around and find a desk that had makeup and hair products on it, I scan the desk looking for things and I found a pink box with hearts on it
I open the box and there was necklaces and earring's, I pour the contents out of the box and onto the un-touched bed, I pick through the jewelry and find a gold necklace outlined into a shaped heart with a smaller heart in the middle with a white jewel in it, I put the necklace in pocket and I thought that it was perfect
I exit the house and make my way down the street, I remember the box that I threw at the wall in the jewelry store and I thought it was perfect to put the necklace into
I climb into the store again and pick up the box that was laying on the ground it was blue and a bit dirty but i wiped of the grime and took the necklace out of my pocket and I carfully set it into the opened box
As I closed the box out of nowhere a walker stumbles on top of me, the box is knocked out of my hands as I struggle to keep the walker off of me, I then use all my might and flip the walker so that i was on top, I grabbed my knife out of it's sheath and stab the walker in the head
I flop over trying to catch my breath, after a miniute of laying on the ground beside the walker I pick myself up and grab the box with the necklace in it, I put it in my right pocket and I head home
