Summary
With the Wolves defeated, Eleanor and Carl find themselves facing an older, relentless enemy: the walkers. As Alexandria is overrun, they are forced to confront the weight of their choices, the consequences of mercy, and new challenges for their bond. Promises are fulfilled at last, and their love—now out in the open—earns the acceptance of the community.
For the first time, Eleanor steps into leadership, but in a way unlike anything she, Rick, or the others have ever known. There is progress. There is order. There is survival. Yet beneath the fragile peace she and Carl have built for the new Alexandria, a darker threat gathers—one that carries a wooden bat wrapped in barbed wire.

Summary
When the prison doors first shut behind them, Mallory thought she and her twin brother Ezra finally had a chance at safety, at normalcy. With their mother Leni by their side, safety felt possible. But the apocalypse has a way of tearing apart anything that looks like home. Partially mute and fiercely protective of her brother, Mallory has learned to survive by hiding, watching, moving where no one can catch her. But inside the prison walls, she can't hide from everything.
Her voice may be quiet, but her story is not. Between bloody cell blocks, a war outside of communities, and her own unraveling stability, Mallory is forced to choose: protect her family at any cost, or watch the light go out in the people she trusts the most. And in a world where everyday could be the last, she learned that sometimes surviving isn't the hardest part--no, it's watching everyone else fall apart around you.

Summary
Carl isn’t thrilled when Daryl and Michonne bring home a strange boy they’d found alone in a candy store, but then again, he’s not sure he remembers what happiness even feels like anymore. Not while his dad keeps trying to shape him into someone he’s not.
Is it even possible to be two things at once? A farmer and a survivor? A boy who kills other boys, and kisses them? He doesn’t know. He’s not even sure he wants to find out.
Turns out, the stray kid is as antisocial as Carl, with a sweet tooth to match, and after being taken care of by kind people in an unkind world, they’ll fall in love with each other and then, eventually, their mutual best friend, too.
Predominantly based on the TV series, with select elements from the comics. Later arcs include Dead City & The Ones Who Live (second to last chapter), with lore from the Daryl Dixon spinoff, Fear, Tales, and World Beyond where relevant.

Summary
Four years locked in a cell, and Negan’s only tie to the world is Carl Grimes—the kid who should hate him but keeps showing up anyway. Carl’s twenty now, with a blade on his back, a braid down his shoulder, and the weight of a broken family on his spine. Rick’s gone. Michonne left. Judith and RJ are his to raise, and Carl’s barely holding it together.
But with every visit, he knows this: something between them is shifting.
Carl’s visits aren’t about forgiveness anymore. They’re about need.
And Negan? He’s starting to feel like he’s the only one who really sees what Carl’s becoming.

Summary
With a barbed wire bat and an Alpha’s casual overconfidence, Negan seems just as cruel as Shane had been near the end—except when it comes to Carl, Rick, and the life inside of the former deputy; if anything, the Alpha is almost… soft with them.
Rick isn’t certain he can trust it—isn’t certain he can trust Negan—but the Alpha is his best chance at living long enough to bring new life into a decaying world, and Rick is determined to have as much time as possible with Carl before either the birth kills him… or Shane finds him.
*
“Don’t leave the house,” he warns after a yawn, his gaze intent on his son, trying to convey his seriousness. “We don’t know if anyone else is here.”
“Go to sleep, Dad. I’ll still be here when you wake up.”

Summary
En un mundo roto por los muertos, la magia también sangra. Harina Lyra Potter-Black, descendiente de antiguas casas, sanadora, guerrera y bruja marcada por cicatrices, atraviesa un continente devastado por el apocalipsis en busca de una visión dada por Luna Lovegood, su hermana en todo menos en sangre. Guiada por runas, presagios y un último destello de esperanza, llega a un hospital abandonado en Georgia.
Allí, encuentra a Rick Grimes, un hombre que acaba de despertar del coma, perdido entre un pasado civilizado y una realidad donde todo lo que amaba se ha esfumado. Junto a él, y pronto también junto a Shane Walsh, Harina se embarca en un viaje que une el mundo mágico y el mundo muggle bajo la amenaza de los caminantes.
A medida que los lazos con Rick y Shane se estrechan, también lo hacen los conflictos: con los vivos, con los muertos… y con su propio corazón.
Entre hechizos agotados, alianzas improbables y culturas que chocan, Harina deberá decidir si el amor y la magia aún tienen un lugar en un mundo donde los héroes caen y los muertos se levantan.

Summary
“I’ll be back before you know it,” Shane’d told him. Carl had to believe him. He didn’t know what he’d do if he didn’t.
Carl leaned even further over the branch, determined to see him, to spot Shane waiting patiently in his dark blue sedan, having come back for him just like he said he would, because Shane wouldn’t leave him, Mom wouldn’t leave him, they couldn’t have left him alone, because he mattered to them, he mattered—
Shane’s car wasn’t there. They’d left him behind.
OR: Carl gets separated from Lori and Shane while they're watching the bombing of Atlanta. He'll never find them again, but it's okay. He can survive just fine on his own. He finds someone else, anyhow, a little sister, and they're going to be okay. They're going to be safe.

Draco Malfoy y los otros. by aguero1

Summary
Con solo diez años, Draco Malfoy había pasado su vida entre sábanas de seda y el susurro constantes de sirvientes. Cada deseo era una orden, cada capricho una realidad. El mundo era un tapiz confeccionado a medida para su comodidad, un escenario donde su apellido era la divisa más fuerte.
Pero la realidad había cambiado.
El hedor a podredumbre y desesperación, era el nuevo perfume del mundo.
Solo el rostro endurecido de Rick Grimes, un sherrif que olía a café y desesperación, pero que se movía con una determinación que Draco no había visto en los hombres de su padre. Y con ese hombre, la promesa silenciosa de un viaje hacia lo desconocido.

Summary
You knew Carl from before all this happened. Your moms were best friends and would sip wine on your back porch while the two of you played pretend in the backyard. The day the world went to shit, you were dismissed from school early and Lori had to take you home. You never thought you'd see Carl again after you slid that mini van door closed...

~each chapter is named after a song that fits the vibe ([name] - [artist]) making a little playlist by the end of the book! (the title is a reference to Ribs by Lorde btw [Carl Grimes coded song imo]) -
