Title: No Savior to be Found

Author: Duchess_On_Fire

Canon: The Walking Dead

Pairing: Carl Grimes/Negan Smith

Rating: Teen [PG]

Word Count: 45,563

Summary: In a world where Rick never found Carl & Lori, Carl has managed to keep himself and his sister alive in spite of Shane's growing madness. After surviving the apocalypse with Shane, Negan is nothing he can't handle... Right?

Recommendation: This is more of a preslash/character study than anything, but it is so good. Poor, Carl has just had to deal with so much and Shane is cuckoo for cocoa puffs. Our boy is so badass though, and Negan knows it. And he is such a good older brother.
