   Summary

   Edit 2024: the ages in this are weird, I don’t know what I was thinking tbh I just remember trying to figure out ages and gave up. Too late now, just ignore. I also don’t have the energy to go fix everything.
   2025: slowly going through to edit.

   Kathryn Grimes was only 19 when the world fell and she began to navigate the relationships that form as they fight to survive. Daryl Dixon had always caught her eye but thinking he only saw her as a kid and Rick's daughter caused her to shove her feelings deep inside.

   Obviously, I don't own jack shit from the show, just my OC.
