This is a The Walking Dead Fanfiction. Everything in the original plot of The Walking Dead does not belong to me. I created my OC's names, personalities, words, and life. If it's not in the original plot of the television series, it has come from my imagination, and I ask you to please not copy or transmit it in any form without asking for permission.

In a world where diseases and sickness come and go with every change of the season, there were few options for a family of five when an epidemic never heard of before flooded over the land with a tsunami of pain and fear. This time it molded into hunger-possessed human beings reviving from death and were left with nothing but an entirely all-consuming desire to feast on any and all reachable living piece of meat ⎯⎯ carrying no empathy for those it massacred.

Social media posts went haywire with images, clips, and tweets showing the hellacious reality that hadn't quite reached all ears. Every twenty-four hours that passed it got worse. More of the flesh-eating demonic monsters filled the streets, and no amount of gorging filled the burning desire to keep devouring anything in their sights. The more people attacked, the more attackers were created.

What truly came as a shock to the Hollway family was the government entirely abandoning their post, and leaving the civilians they were meant to protect to fend for themselves against the existence of their own kind turning into cannibalistic creatures.

It was the sole reason they decided to leave the secluded tranquility of their home, to find other family in the city of Atlanta. This didn't entirely go to plan, and what's left is just a little girl and her father, arriving at a camp that was slowly growing in numbers.

No place was entirely a refuge, no matter how much those around willed it to be. Clementine Holloway knew that much. What she didn't know was just how much she'd have to go through to reach just the bare minimum of safety. How much she'd grow as a person in both good and bad ways. All the things she'd never get in a world that slowly deteriorated around her. Everything she'd never get back.

This copy of Oh My Darling is a rewrite of the original written version. (If this is the first time you are reading this story, feel free to ignore the first point.) 

1: The rewritten and old versions are fairly the same. The biggest differences are: the chapter layout, amount of chapters, it being act one-two-three instead of by season, scenes I hadn't written before and the flow of Clementine's personality as well as her saying and thinking different things. If you already read season one of the original version, you can pretty much go on reading season two of this version and not miss anything. But I recommend just reading season one of this copy to avoid any confusion. My goal is to have the entire season one rewritten and then publish it, so if you're reading this and considering just rereading it, then the first 6 or 7 chapters should be up.

2: The main character in this story is a child. She will be at most a minor throughout the first nine seasons until the time jump. (If the story goes on for that long.) Feel free to ship her with other children her age, but I will not tolerate any inappropriate comments about said character or other children and minors, whatsoever.

3: This is not a Carl Grimes Fanfic. I know it's not assumed, but most of the time when a child oc is the same age as Carl or a couple of years younger, it gives the inclination that there may be a possible future relationship there. And I know I said, feel free to "ship" my child OC with any of the age-appropriate options, but just know Carl is a strong brother figure in this fanfic. So, if you're looking for a Carl Grimes Fanfic, this is not the place to be. I am a now grown woman who grew up watching The Walking Dead, so Carl is forever a baby in my eyes so I physically can not stomach looking at Carl in any way other than as a child.

4: I will also not be tolerating any hate towards any character trauma responses, coping mechanisms, or mental health issues. These aren't real people, but they are real emotions and feelings that other readers may relate to, so even if you aren't talking about a real person, you still somehow are.

Hello! You can call me El, L, or Elle. Either way, it's just a variation of the first letter of my name. Here I will be writing everything on my own time. I enjoy writing. I do it for fun. However, I am very critical of myself and do not tend to write chapters very quickly. So, if you enjoy the story, bear with me because my commitment issues are off the charts, and I'm doing my best. <3

Overall, the main difference in this version of the story is 1: Clementine's faceclaim, I found out I didn't quite agree with the original faceclaims views. 2: Clementine's attitude, I've tried to make it blend better through season one because I came to the realization that in the original Clementine seemed to have scenes/quotes that didn't overlap well with her personality.

I post edits for my fanfics, and once in a blue moon for my favorite shows/movies on TikTok. My accounts are at the bottom of the page. <3

I LOVE YOU
