El que sea un mundo aparentemente sin magia no significa que Cupido no tenga un poco de poder. Sin duda algunas flechas han sido disparadas por ahí y entre sus ¿víctimas? Tenemos a Lucille y Travis.

Aún no hay nada oficial sin embargo es imposible pasar por alto que hay algo más de amistad entre ellos. Se preocupan profundamente por el otro, se llevan comida, se cuidan en momentos difíciles y después de Halloween, comparten también un trauma en común. Nos queda simplemente esperar a ver quién se atreve a dar el primer paso ¿será nuestro querido Robin Hood? Travis es un poco más inseguro que su contraparte de cuento, pero puede que algo de esa audacia pueda colarse junto con la magia que pulula por Storybrooke.

¿Será Lucille su querida Marian?

omg I haven't watched TWD in a while but Madison/Negan sounds super intriguing, that's so big brain of you!!

Ooooooohohohoho sincere apologies for this, but now I have to yell about them for a bit. Unskippable cutscene.

Fear The Walking Dead’s first three seasons are some of my favorite in the TWD franchise, because there’s a moral complexity and grayness to them that the main show never had. TWD was always “what’s best for everyone,” or “how do we survive as a group,” whereas the characters on FTWD were being selfish, looking out for their families but no one else, willing to betray or harm innocent people if it meant their loved ones survived, etc. No grand speeches. No comic-book superheroes. The original vision for FTWD was that it would show a group’s descent into villainy, with Madison eventually taking on a Negan-type role. In Season 3 (and even earlier), the setup for that was apparent. Then AMC decided to take the show in a different direction, and the villain storyline left with the initial showrunner.

Thinking about Madison and Negan as a pair, romantic or even as allies, is just…!!!!!! I really do think he would’ve been fascinated with her; her manipulative streak, her “the ends justify the means” attitude toward survival even when the means are extreme, her love for her family contrasted with her often calculating approach to violence. They both wear leather jackets. They both use blunt instruments as a weapon of choice (Negan -> Lucille, Madison -> a hammer). They both know what it takes to lead a group but go about it in a way that inspires fear rather than admiration. Both have experienced tragedy and lost the loves of their lives (Negan -> Lucille, Madison -> her first husband, and then Travis). If Madison had been with the Saviors during All Out War, it’s my belief that she would’ve been Negan’s right hand, or at least a trusted member of his council. He’d respect her. And she’d go out of her way to earn his respect, solely because earning his respect would benefit her and her people. But they’d have too much in common for them to not see at least a glimmer of themselves in each other, even though Madison would hate him for being so obnoxious, and he’d hate her for challenging him, but nonetheless they’d evolve into a darker, twisted version of Rick and Michonne -

Anyway, ramble done. Madison x Negan OTP, thank you for coming to my TED Talk

Page 4: Colton Underwood comes out -- saying he's the happiest and healthiest he's ever been, the former Bachelor clarifies his orientation

Page 5: Lena Dunham is no stranger to controversy, so it comes as no surprise that her foray into fashion design has also come under fire as she partnered with a plus-size label to create the capsule collection 11 Honore x Lena Dunham, but the kicky line quickly came under fire as critics are calling it tone-deaf, mediocre and not inclusive at all since its largest size is a 26 and some are even going so far to call Lena a grifter who gained weight in order to make money off the plus-size community but Lena, who underwent a hysterectomy at 31, has pointed to early menopause as the cause of her straight-up gut -- while Lena refuses to be intimidated by bullies, she is listening to the complaints about sizes and is planning to address it

* Once a cautionary tale of the perils of child stardom, at age 40 Macaulay Culkin is a father himself as he and girlfriend Brenda Song welcomed a son, Dakota -- he's finally overcome his demons and Brenda has been a huge influence on his life and helped him get back on the straight and narrow and he's even pursuing acting again, shooting season 10 of American Horror Story; his life has taken such a positive turn

* A year after announcing her split from Jay Cutler, Kristin Cavallari is seeing the upside of divorce, saying it's made her a better mom in some ways because she has her kids half the time now so when she has them for her week, she is so incredibly present with her kids Camden, Jaxon and Saylor and she is not distracted by her phone or anything else; she is with them -- Jay and Kristin each have the kids 182.5 days a year and court papers also revealed that her ex is allowed two phone calls and two FaceTime or Skype calls a week and vice versa so now every moment is precious and if someone is having a temper tantrum or something, she remains calm because she knows that she is losing them in a few days

Page 6: Gwen Stefani is widely thought to have had some help in the nips and tucks department, and as her wedding to Blake Shelton approaches, he is starting to object to her constant tweaking of her face -- she's always messing with it by getting more fillers and Botox and Blake is afraid of what he'll see at the altar and he's freaking out at Gwen's increasingly extreme beauty routine which is becoming increasingly over-the-top; Gwen can barely move her face to smile at him anymore and it looks weird -- while he frets, he's trying to reassure his wife-to-be because Blake thinks she's beautiful just the way she is

* As an executive producer on the long-running Law & Order: SVU, Mariska Hargitay has tasked the writers to come up with more storylines featuring one of her favorite characters: defense attorney Trevor Langan, played by none other than her husband Peter Hermann -- Mariska and Peter originally met and fell in love when Peter guest-starred on the show and she loves to keep that magic alive by bringing him back to play Trevor but the trouble is he is busy with his own gigs as a series regular on Younger and his recurring role on Blue Bloods and Peter loves working with his wife, but he has his own acting career apart from Mariska -- still, he may soon have his day in court because Peter understands how Mariska feels and is trying to work his schedule to allow him some guest spots in the near future

* Jennifer Lopez calls off her relationship with Alex Rodriguez

* Carrie Underwood and Mike Fisher are better than ever after overcoming a rough patch, one that had their inner circle convinced they were headed for divorce -- Mike had a serious roving eye that made Carrie anxious and she would treat him like he was Mr. Underwood and tensions between the two were at an all-time high when the pandemic hit, forcing the two into extra one-on-one time, but as it turns out, their new routine is just what they needed because they set boundaries, divided up tasks and put time aside for fun things and they prioritized romance, which has made all the difference -- Carrie and Mike are re-committed to their marriage and they've been through so much so much and neither wants to throw it away

Page 26: Cover Story -- Brad Pitt and Angelina Jolie's model kid -- Shiloh Jolie-Pitt the gorgeous teen is ready for her close up, but Brad and Angie are at odds about Shiloh's new passion -- Shiloh's been experimenting with girlier styles lately, including growing out her hair and she's at the age where she's starting to change things up -- Brad isn't thrilled about Shiloh's modeling dreams and idea of her walking into the lion's den gives him cause for concern -- Angelina began modeling at 16, just one year older than Shiloh and Shiloh knows that's what set her mom on her path to fame and Shiloh is constantly asking Angie about the pros and cons of the modeling world

Inez was not sure if it was the suddenness of Lucille’s statement or the younger woman’s intensity when speaking that surprised her more. Something in Lucille’s statement carried a deep weight that she was not willing to share—she possibly was not even aware that she was carrying the burden.

Granted, Inez could agree with the premise of Lucille’s statement. Men tended to be more trouble than they were worth. She was still trying to convince Buck that a man and a woman could simply be friends. Somehow, the idea was not registering anywhere in his thick skull no matter how many times so tried to lodge it in there.

Then if romance became involved, half the time everything got messy. Women like herself and Lucille had enough to deal with as it was. Right now, it was probably easier to just avoid the whole situation—a path Lucille seemed inclined to take. That still rose the question though of why Lucille felt it was necessary to make such a seemingly random announcement out of thin air.

Knowing that she needed to respond, Inez finally rose both eyebrows, “Is there a chance that it’s going to happen soon?”

The thought that the entire state of Arizona could be a reminder of her worst mistakes had never occurred to Lucille, but the memories had begun to weigh heavily on her. Sure, she had been barely sixteen when she got off the train near Yuma, and barely anybody would remember the young seamstress that disappeared after nine months... but she remembered it. She remembered the anger and pain leading up to her departure-- not just Arizona, but New York-- and all of the guilt that she couldn’t shake for abandoning her own family in an attempt to escape. She remembered the arguments that lasted for hours in a mansion a million times nicer than anything she had ever owned, whiskey and cigarettes drowning her frustration, and wondering if the emptiness she felt while sitting alone at the kitchen table was the same that drove her mother away.

Lucille wasn’t stupid-- she knew that the only thing Nigel Christopher Snyder felt was lust and greed-- but that didn’t mean she wasn’t scared of getting caught in the same trap once more. What she didn’t know was why these thoughts kept weighing her down; it could be just how close it was getting to October 29th, or seeing Mary Travis’ son in town, or any number of things dragging her thoughts back to what could be. All she knew was that the last thing she wanted was to get stuck in a relationship with no out but to destroy her reputation.Even if she had her mother’s eyes, she refused to be her mother’s daughter.

“I hope not-- I don’t have room for that kind of trouble.” Lucille said after a moment, her eyes falling to the ground as she realized just how much it said about her opinion on love and marriage. Nobody had to ask why the daughter of Phineas and Abigail Delancey didn’t want to get married in Manhattan or Brooklyn, but here? The only stories they knew where the ones she told. “I just... I don’t want to deal with that kind of stress, not right now. Not ever.”

Part 1 / Part 2 / Part 3 / Part 4 / Part 5 / Part 6 / Part 7

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

It took two days of convincing and explaining your reasoning before you finally got Negan to agree to go with you to the neighbor’s house. He grumbled as he got out of the truck, gripping Lucille tight in one hand and the handle of the car seat in the other. You couldn’t help yourself but smile at him as you climbed up the stairs to the Cane’s little house.

“Fucking stupid.” He growled as you knocked on the door.

“Put the fucking bat down, Negan.” You said as the man approached the door hesitantly. He paused for a moment as his eyes shot between the two of you before he crossed over to the door and opened it.

“Hi.” You said cheerily, hoping you could pretend to mend the already rough start with the potential ally in front of you. “My name is (Y/N). You’ve met my husband, Negan. I just wanted to come over and introduce myself since we are going to be living in that house now and to talk to you.” The man nodded slightly as he looked up at Negan, who still had Lucille on his shoulder. You turned and glared at him and with a glance down at you he rolled his eyes, lowered Lucille and leaned her up against the house.

“I-I’m Travis. Come on in.” He said as he stepped to the side letting the two of you inside and pointed to the couches in the living room. “Take a seat. Sadie! Can you come out here? The neighbors came to talk.” You moved over to the couch and sat down on one side and rolled your eyes when Negan sat down almost on top of your hip with the car seat tucked behind his legs. A young woman came in from the back of the house and hesitated for only a moment at the sight of people on her couch for the first time in two years before she smiled.

“Hi, I’m Sadie!” She squeaked as she walked toward you and stuck out her hand. You smiled back.

“(Y/N). My husband, Negan.” She held out her hand to him, fighting against her fear and after a quick elbow to his rib cage, he shook her hand before the couple sat down in the chairs in front of you. You leaned forward, rested your elbows on your knees and spoke. “First, I want to apologize for our first meeting and I want to explain my husband’s odd behavior. You see, we just left a group that consisted of the most absolutely vile humans on the fucking planet. I was pregnant and they came after me and my husband for no reason. When we packed up everything we could and left, they tried to kills us for leaving. These people had been harassing us for months, trying to steal all of our food and weapons, sending walkers into our yard and killing the people in our group in horrific ways. Their leader was a true psychopath.” As the couple looked at each other with appalled looks, you stole a glance at Negan who simply winked at you behind his poker face so you continued.

“So, my husband and I and our couple close friends are very leery with new people especially with our daughter being so young.” Sadie’s eyes lit up at the mention of your little girl and she smiled.

“Can I see her?” She asked as she craned her head to look for the car seat. With a heavy sigh, Negan moved his leg forward, pulled the car seat out and rested it on his knee; his way of telling them to not go near his little angel. Sadie cooed as she stood up slightly to get a closer look before sitting back down and looking at you. “She’s beautiful! What’s her name?” She asked as Negan put the car seat back down under his leg, smiling down at his baby girl as he silently agreed.

“Hope.” He said as he reached down and ran his fingertip across her cheek before putting his poker face back on to look at the couple once more.

“Look, like I said before; we don’t want trouble.” Travis said as he pointed between him and Sadie. “We live off our land, we have a few farm animals in the barn out back that keep us going and we don’t need much of anything other than that. If we need personal supplies there are enough places to go and find them. We don’t need to steal from people who need stuff just as much as we do.”

“And we feel the same way.” You said with a smile as you wrapped your arm through Negan’s; both of you knowing that if needed, the two people in front of you would die for their supplies no matter what sort of lies you fed them now. 

“So the only thing we are asking for is our privacy. Like my husband said, if you need our help with a heard of the dead, we will assist the best we can but other than that we will keep to ourselves and take care of our own.” The couple nodded as you smiled sweetly and pat Negan’s arm. “I think we have taken enough of their time baby. Let’s get Hope back home.” He nodded and the four of you stood up. “It was a pleasure meeting you both.” You cooed almost sarcastically as the four of you shook hands.

“If you ever change your mind or simply want company feel free to drop by!” Sadie piped, completely missing your sarcasm and you nodded.

“Thanks hun. That’s so sweet of you.” Negan coughed to cover his laugh as he headed out the door. He grabbed Lucille on his way and you waved at your neighbors as you followed after him.

“Drive safe.” Travis said as you walked out the door. As he closed the door behind you, Negan let out his signature two-tone whistle while opening the back door of the truck to put the car seat in. You bit your tongue as you climbed into the front seat and turned around to look at him.

“Nice poker face.” He gruffed as he looked up at you through his eyelashes with an evil smile.

“I don’t know what you are referring to, my love.” He chuckled as he shut the back door and got into the front. You waved again at the couple watching you from the window as Negan backed out of the driveway.

“Really fucking laid it on thick, didn’t you?” He asked as he pulled down the road a smile finally staying on his face now that you were out of the potential threats eye sight.

“I told a slightly exaggerated version of the truth leaving out some key plot points and ad-libbing here and there. They don’t need to know that the new neighbors could shoot them dead in their front yard from our front porch in a matter of seconds and that we could literally pop their eye balls out of their skulls. The only thing they need to know is you are fucking scary as shit and you will protect your girls no matter what.” He pulled into your driveway and put the car in park, grabbed Lucille and jumped out to open the gate while you crawled over the middle and drove the truck toward the car port.

“Did you have fun?” Arat asked as you got out of the truck and you shrugged.

“Let’s put it this way. They are terrified of Negan already, they think Hope is adorable…”

“Man, she just fucking slid her Goddamn dick down their fucking throats and they ate that shit up.” Negan interrupted with a laugh as he strolled away from the now padlocked gate. “She’s a fucking pro at saying exactly what the fuck people need to fucking here.” You shrugged as you lifted the car seat out of the base and shut the door.

“What was I supposed to do? Say ‘hey, you have four professional murders for neighbors now’? That shit doesn’t go over very well.”

“Fuck, that’s what I would have said.” Simon replied as he put his cigarette out in the metal smoke tower you had stolen from outside a store. “Makes shit a hell of a lot simpler.”

“Na. Fucking let them squirm.” You said as you put the car seat down on the porch to sit and bull shit for a while. “That way they won’t fucking see us coming.”

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

It only took a week before the first herd came through and you thought you were beyond prepared. Negan had cleaned out the lumber yard and found bag upon bags of quick dry cement. It took an entire day to dig holes and get the posts cemented into the ground to reinforce the fence every 4 feet. Once you realized how easy it would be for your new neighbors to just drop by on a whim, you had also come up with the idea to create a second front gate out of the leftover pieces of steel to essentially make the house a fortress at night. It took Negan a couple days to find everything he would need to accomplish his goal but he had found it just in the nick of time. He was just finishing drilling the second hole in the driveway for the bottom bolt when Travis came running toward you.

“Hey, just a head’s up- there is a herd of biters coming up our side of the ridge. We can’t tell how big with the fog. We have electric fences so we should be good but Sadie wanted me to pass the message along.” You waved in thanks and he quickly turned and ran back to his house. Negan finished the hole and gestured you inside the fence.

“Guess we will fucking see how this fucker holds up.” He said as he swung the three layer, 7 feet high by 20 feet wide steel gate closed, sliding the bolt into the ground as you latched the three on the hinge side.

“Babe, you have this mother fucker cemented to the fucking fence AND the main gate and it has 8 thick as fuck steel latches and a fucking padlock. This fucker isn’t going anywhere.” You told him as you dropped the last latch in the ground while he locked the chain and pocketed the key.

“Sweetheart…” He started as the two of you headed back to the house and you raised your hands in the air.

“I know, I know. You have the right to be worried.” You replied as you climbed the stairs and headed into the house. “Guys, we got a fucking herd coming through. Pay mind.” You called out as you headed up to your room to check on Hope and head out to your balcony to keep an eye on your property.

“Want me to come help watch?” Arat asked as you climbed the stairs and you nodded.

“Yea, third pair of eyes is never a bad thing.” You told her and she dipped back in her room to grab her rifle.

“Wake me up if you need me.” Simon called out sarcastically and you laughed knowing full well he was going to end up on the roof with you in a few minutes. Carson, as useless as ever, said a simple thanks for the warning as he moved from the living room into his bedroom, closing the door behind him.

“I’ve about fucking had it with that mother fucker.” Negan grumbled as he walked into your room and peeked into the bassinet at Hope. You shrugged as you grabbed your rifle and a pack of cigarettes and headed for the balcony.

“Fucking kill him then. We don’t fucking need him anymore. He did his fucking job.”

“Who are we talking about killing?” Arat asked softly as she tiptoed into the room, not wanting to wake up her niece.

“Carson.” Negan told her as the two of them joined you on the balcony. Arat shrugged and accepted the smoke you offered.

“I get why you brought him in the first place but I’m fucking shocked he’s still alive. Take his ass on a run and leave him. He won’t make it a day.”

“Who won’t?” Simon asked and you rolled your eyes at him.

“If you want to be part of a fucking conversation, get your ass off your bed,” He pointed his fingers at you and shot an invisible gun.

“Fucking, Carson; who else?” Negan said and Simon nodded and pursed his lips.

“Yea, fuck it. Fucker gets on my last nerve.”

“All in fucking favor, say I.” You said and the three other members of your family all agreed.

“Alright… fuck Carson.” Negan said. You all heard the approaching herd hitting the Cane’s electric fence and turned toward the sound.

“Jesus fuck…” you whispered as walkers started to stumble out of the fog. Within seconds the four of you realized that if this fence didn’t hold up, you didn’t stand a chance. Without a word, Negan grabbed your arm and pulled you in front of him to protect you, knowing you would want to watch the herd.

“Simon, go inside and fucking quickly but quietly shut all the fucking windows in my room. Last thing we fucking need is them fucking hearing Hope crying if she wakes up.” Negan instructed. It took him a moment to find his feet before Simon dipped into the room to close the windows before coming back out on the balcony to watch. Negan wrapped his arms around your waist and pulled you tightly to his body as the herd made their way toward your house.

No one made a sound or moved a muscle as hundreds walkers ambled by, nearly all of them ignoring your house completely. The pack seemed to go on forever but as the walkers started wearing thin, moving into the trees behind your house and down the mountain; you were finally able to breathe a little easier. Unfortunately, before the last walkers stumbled into the woods, Hope began to fuss in the house. Simon barely had time to jump out of the way as you nearly threw your rifle at him and ran into the room, scooping your daughter onto your arms and running into your closet. It was the only room that didn’t have a wall on the exterior of the house.

“Make fucking sure they don’t fucking come back.” Negan whisper yelled to the other two as he followed you to the closet. He stood just outside of the nearly closed door with Lucille gripped tightly in his fist as he watched Simon and Arat keep watch. You knew the fence would hold against one or two but with a herd that size; none of you had a clue how the fence would hold. You waited for nearly an hour for the last few stragglers to pass before you deemed it ok to come out of your hiding spot.

“I want to fucking find those fucking concrete barriers tomorrow and fucking stack them inside the fucking fence.” Negan told your friends as you laid a once again sleeping Hope in her bassinet before going out to the balcony for a cigarette to calm your nerves.

“We are in the mountains… what if we dug pits? Easy containment and easy disposal, dual purpose them for trash and shit.” Arat said as you lit your smoke and leaned against the side of the house.

“We could try but you’d probably hit limestone before you got deep enough to make an effective pit though.” Simon said.

“We could find razor wire and make a fence like 5-10 feet from the one that is already up. See if we can find rebar to hold it up and put more rebar sticking up throughout to stop what walkers we can.” You suggested.

“That could work. It’ll be a fucking cunt to work with though.” Simon said.

“End of the fucking day it would be fucking worth it.” Negan pointed out. “We should put the storm shutters they have in the basement up over the bigger windows and see if we can find storm doors or steel doors to replace the ones we have.” Negan nodded in agreement and sighed.

“We got a lot more fucking work to do. First, let’s go fucking take care of fucking Carson so it’s one less fucking problem to deal with and then tomorrow we fuckin’ start with the Goddamn storm shutters. That shit is gunna fucking take a long fucking time. Then from there we fucking start making that fucking fence impenetrable.” The three of you nodded and finished your cigarettes before heading inside. The four of you trudged down stairs, with Lucille now in tow and headed straight for Carson’s room. Negan threw the door open, startling the older gentleman and pointed toward the front door.

“Get- the FUCK- out!” He spat, forcing himself to keep his voice low so he didn’t wake up Hope. The man shook his head as he sat up on the bed.

“But… I… I didn’t do anything!” the doctor stammered as he cowered on his bed. You stepped into the doorway and glared at him.

“That’s the fucking point. You didn’t fucking do fucking shit! The fucking four of us just fucking stood on the Goddamn roof for two fucking hours watching a fucking herd come through that could have fucking killed us all. We were fucking up there to fucking protect our fucking asses and our fucking daughter’s life and you did fucking nothing like a fucking cowardly little bitch. You don’t want to fucking help protect us; we don’t fucking see a fucking reason to keep you fucking alive anymore. Now get the fuck out of my house!” The doctor stared at you in shock, his eyes watering as he shook his head. You heard Negan grip the handle of Lucille tightly and he pushed you to the side.

“Move.” He demanded as he grabbed the front of Carson’s shirt and dragged him from the room. The man stayed quiet out of pure fear as Negan dragged him out of the front of the house.

“Please, you don’t have to do this!” Carson pleaded when Negan threw him off the porch, exchanging Lucille for your rifle simply for the quietness.

“You’re fucking right, I don’t fucking have to; I fucking want to.” Negan told him as he threw the bolt, firing a nearly soundless round into the man’s forehead. As the body fell forward, spilling blood onto the driveway, he shrugged and handed you back your rifle. “Do me a favor, princess. Get your pretty little ass on the fucking roof for me and keep fucking eyes. I’m gunna go burn this mother fucker in the road.”

“You just suck all the fuckin’ fun out of cold blooded murder, don’t you?” You teased with a smile and he shrugged.

“Narcissistic psychopath.” He said as he held his arms out to the side and bent back slightly with a chuckle. You rolled your eyes and leaned up to kiss his cheek and Simon scoffed.

“God, you two are fucking sadistic.” He chuckled as he pointed to Carson’s body. “I’ll get the legs.” You giggled and turned back into the house to keep watch while the other three went to take the body out front. As you climbed up the stairs, Simon’s words resounded in your head once more. In the last year, you had killed hundreds of walkers which was a necessity but you had also witnessed or actually killed at least half a dozen people and you felt absolutely no remorse for it.

You could blame it all on Rick, sure but at the end of the day, what kind of person had you become because of Negan? Your answer came when you turned the corner into your room and saw a tiny arm waving over the edge of the bassinet accompanied by the soft cooing from your pride and joy. With a smile, you crossed the room and as you looked into the bassinet, you realized that you would do absolutely everything necessary to protect her no matter what. And if that meant taking out Carson for not being the protection she needed, so be it.

You stood on the roof with your rifle pressed into your shoulder and after a quick scan of the area around your property in the foggy afternoon sunlight you whistled out the two-tone melody to the men below. Arat threw open the last bolt and pulled open the secondary gate, unlocked the first one and held it ajar as Negan and Simon heaved the body down the driveway and out to the main road. It was only a matter of seconds before Carson’s corpse burst into flames. Negan and Simon headed back into the gate and into the house less than a minute before the small fire attracted the attention of a pair of rogue walkers that looked as if they had been electrocuted.

“Looks like they hit the neighbor’s fence.” You told Negan as he stepped out on the roof, smelling faintly of gasoline. He hummed as he leaned on the rail and watched the brainless walkers throw themselves at the fire. Not wanting to start a forest fire when they stood up and began to stumble around, you shot them down, leaving the three bodies to burn to a crisp in the street.

“Do you think he’s right?” Negan asked as he lit a cigarette, passing it off to you before lighting his own.

“I asked myself the same thing walking up here but at this point, who cares? We are kinda the last fucking people on earth. So we kill people who try to fuck us over or stand in our way of making sure we live another day and keep our daughter safe. Does that make us bad people? Maybe in the old world but this ain’t the fucking old world anymore, baby. This is the new world; kill or be killed. And we do what we have to do.” You pointed at the body burning in front of your house.

“Keeping him alive could have been the difference of Hope making it another day. I know without a shadow of a doubt in my mind that you, me, Arat and Simon would throw our lives on the line in a heartbeat for her. I don’t think he would have. So fuck him. We also don’t kill for sport Negan, which if we ever started to is the point that I would think we needed to be concerned. We kill when doing so ensures our survival.” He took a drag of his cigarettes and nodded slightly, looking over at you with a half mouth smile.

“What would I do without you, baby girl?” You shrugged and laced your arm through his.

“Crash and burn?” You kissed his cheek as he chuckled, and laid your head on his shoulder with a sigh. “We just have to keep doing what we need to do to survive for Hope. That’s all that matters anymore.”

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

You were feeding Hope in the middle of the night about two weeks after the heard came through when the sound of your front gate rattling caught your attention. You stood up from the glider that was in the corner, tossing a blanket over Hope and went to look out of the balcony window. You figured it was probably just a walker; lost and bumbling along the fence line, looking for a path to continue forward but your stomach clenched when you saw a gloved hand grab the top of the secondary gate.

“Negan…” You hissed as you stepped into the shadows of your room out of the glow of the nearly full moon’s light. You put your knee on the bed, grabbed your pillow and whacked your husband with it.

“…the fuck, (Y/N)?” He demanded as he rolled over to glare at you and you hissed at him to shut him up.

“Someone is climbing over the fence.” He sat up, grabbed Lucille and walked around the bed to look out the balcony door window. As you peaked out with him, the two of you watched Travis lowering Sadie onto your driveway by her arms.

“Son of a cunt.” Negan said softly as he turned away from the door to grab a pair of jeans. “Stay up here with her. I’ll get Simon to help.” Without waiting for a response he slipped out on the room silently. You looked back out the window and saw Travis drop into the fenced in yard. The pair of thieves looked at each other for a moment and took a step toward the house before the light from your dining room flooded the yard, forcing them to freeze like deer in headlights. You made sure the blanket you had over Hope was completely covering her body to guard from the cold before you pulled open the balcony door to listen.

“The fuck do you guys think you’re fuckin’ up to?” Negan called out as his shadow danced out across the yard with Lucille over his bare muscular shoulder. You watched Travis grab ahold of Sadie’s arm and pull her behind him as he shook his head at Negan. “Because I’m pretty fucking sure you aren’t fucking coming to dinner and I’m also pretty fucking sure you are not selling fucking cookies. So I’m gunna fucking assume you’re trying to fucking steal from me.” You watched his shadow advance across the yard toward the couple as they backed up quickly toward the fence.

“We lost everything. That herd took out our fence, we lost all of our animals and we had no way to get into town. We just…” Travis stammered.

“We were gunna ask but we were scared…” Sadie chimed in.

“Ya fucking hear that, Simon. They were fucking scared.” Negan chuckled as his body finally appeared to you from the edge of the roof.

“If they only fucking knew, man.” Simon said, as he leaned against the porch rail with a gun in his hand, the top of his shadow falling at Negan’s heels.

“Look, we are sorry, OK? We’ll just go. We made a mistake…” Travis said and you heard Negan chuckle.

“Yeah. You most definitely made one hell of a fucking mistake.” You watched him drop Lucile to his side, casually strolling around the couple; stalking his prey as he continued.  “I’m gunna tell you a little fucking story.” He said as he jabbed the bat in the couple’s direction and they both jumped away from it. 

“Now, I know you both heard my wife tell you about the fucking story about the psychopath we used to fucking deal with… well I hate to fucking break it to ya… but we kinda fucking started the whole mess… and I’m kinda the fucking psychopath.” You smiled slightly and opened the door a little wider, moving to stand just in the doorway to get a better look.

“Granted, the mother fucker killed my men first because he didn’t know who the fuck Lucille and I were yet. So I had to fucking introduce him to her. It’s only fucking polite, you see. And once that fucking happened, well… you don’t exactly fucking recover from that shit easily. I mean shit, when Lucille gets thirsty… she gets fucking thirsty!” You could hear Sadie’s sobs as Negan circled closer and closer, waiving Lucille mockingly.

“So I take some of his shit, he kidnaps my wife and kills more of my fucking men, I retaliate AGAIN… and do you know what he tried to do? He fucking comes and tries to kill my wife and my unborn daughter.” He stopped at that point, standing right in front of Travis, towering over him by at least 6 inches and swung Lucille right past their bodies and on to his shoulder, causing Sadie to yelp in fear.

“And I just can’t fucking have that. Now, since fucking story time is over let me fucking ask you this. Do you really fucking think that I’m gunna let you two fuckers just walk into my fucking yard, wake up my wife and my daughter to fucking steal from me after hearing a fucking story like that?!” Without waiting for an answer, Negan grabbed the front of Travis’ shirt and pulled him away from Sadie. He screamed for only second a before Lucille collided with his face. Sadie wailed a drawn out ‘no’ as Negan swung his bat a few more times, ensuring that the intruder was dead.

“Now, I don’t fucking hit women.” Negan said as he turned back to Sadie and pointed the bat at her. “So I’ll give you two fucking options. 1) You can take a fucking bullet to the head or 2) I send your ass back over that fence tied to some fucking rope with no weapons and wait for the fucking walkers to fucking get ya. I’ll give you a moment to decide.” Negan began to strip Travis of any weapons he had on him as Sadie sobbed in your driveway and you took a moment to finish feeding Hope while you waited for her answer. You hummed to your daughter as you burped her, knowing that Sadie would pick a bullet to her head over the more gruesome option. When Negan was satisfied that he had emptied all of Travis’ pockets and taken his bags, he turned back to Sadie with his eyebrow raised.

“B…bullet.” She sobbed, her head falling to her chest in shame. You watched Simon raise his arm and you turned into the room, covering Hope’s ears with your shoulder and hand as the single shot rang out in the night followed by the thump of her body hitting the pavement. You stepped out on to the patio and kept Hope held to your body.

“Just toss them over the fence for tonight, baby. I wanna go back to bed.” Negan looked up from emptying Sadie’s pockets and gave you a thumbs up and you turned and went back inside, closing the door behind you. “See baby girl, daddy will do anything in the world to keep you and mommy safe. You are one lucky little princess.” You kissed the top of her head and laid her down in her bassinet, humming to her softly as you rocked the bed gently. After a moment, Negan walked in and huffed a laugh as he went into the bathroom to wipe the blood off himself and Lucille. “What’s funny, love?” You asked as he walked into the room with a rag in hand.

“You’re humming ‘Rocky Raccoon’ to our daughter.” You smiled and with a nod looked back down at her

“That’s because mommy has good taste in music and she knows a song like that will make this little angel the most bad ass little girl in the new world.”

“Yo bossman.”

Calling out from the back of the truck you pass another crate of goodies down to Travis. Today had been a good day, you managed to find a small treasure trove of supplies while out on the scavenge and it had boosted everyone’s morale.

Negan looks in the direction of your voice, a bored expression on his face and saunters over, leaning to the side and swinging Lucile into the empty space beside him.

“I got you something.”

You can tell you’ve got his attention now. His eyes brighten, locking onto you like a kid on Christmas morning. You throw down a large sack of goods to Alderman before tossing the small carrier bag over to your fearless leader.

“Saw it and thought of you.”

He catches it with ease, his leather clad hand fisting the plastic. Tucking Lucile under his arm he reaches into the bag with careful curiosity, a smirk playing at his lips. His eyebrows furrow and for a small moment you worry if you did the right thing. Maybe you should have waited and given it to him in private later.

Your worries vanish when you see his face break out into a huge grin. He laughs, the sound making the corners of your mouth twitch into a smile. Pulling the fabric out of the bag he holds it out in front of his face. The novelty boxers are black with large red writing clearly reading ‘PARDON MY HARD ON’.

He looks positively gleeful, wagging a finger at you. “I fucking knew you thought about my dick butternut.”

Jumping down from the truck bed you can’t help but roll your eyes, the smile now stretching across your face. You grab a crate off the asphalt and make your way inside ignoring the way your face flushes with warmth.

You hear Negan call out after you, making you laugh. “Hey you went into a god damn sex shop without me? What else did you fucking get?”
