    Summary

    In-between-scenes snippets following Rick, Michonne and Carl from the first time they meet in Season 3 to Season 6's "The Next World," mostly compliant with TV show canon, then we veer into an ASZ alternate universe (I know, how original of me!). Negan doesn't exist, no major character deaths, no horror, no mayhem, just broken people finding their way in a hostile environment, lots of hurt/comfort and surrogate!family feels along the way. It would be fluff if it didn't involve some not so fluffy PTSD recovery, graphic descriptions of canon-typical violence, possibly other unpleasant things. Definitely a Rick/Michonne love story above all else, but it's a slow build and not totally centered on romance; partnership and family dynamics are so much fun to play with.
