Summary
At 28, you're not the typical college sophomore—but then again, nothing about your return to school has been typical. Between lectures, late-night study sessions, and the quiet ache for something more, you find your distractions in fleeting hookups with exchange students who never stay long enough to ask questions. Still, it's not just the thrill that keeps you restless—it’s the way certain professors look at you like they know you, like they’ve seen through the act you wear so well. One in particular gets under your skin. The attraction is inconvenient, undeniable, and impossible to shake. As the years pass and your degree nears its end, the boundaries begin to blur. And by the time you walk across that stage, it’s not just your degree you’re claiming—but a love that waited patiently in the shadows of every classroom.

Summary
Years after the trauma that shattered Alexandria's peace, Maggie and Negan find themselves trapped in a forced coexistence, stirring up old resentments and unspoken desires. Maggie tries to keep her distance, driven by pain and loyalty to the past, but Negan seems unable to shake his own obsession-a dark and complex attraction that binds him to her more than any other mistake he's made. With Hershel now watching and seeking answers Maggie refuses to give, the tension mounts, each confrontation revealing layers of a dangerous game of redemption and desire. As secrets from the past threaten to destroy any chance at new promises, Negan wonders: how far would he be willing to go to finally claim the peace-or Maggie-that he believes he deserves?
Set at the end of TWD Season 10.
