Summary: "The tug on his rib cage was firm – persistent - grating. It took everything he had not to stumble over to her. Knowing instinctively that the moment he got close, the moment he had her in his arms, everything would stop. Everything would make sense again. Everything would be different - better. But he didn’t. He couldn’t.”

Story Notes:
Disclaimer: I don't own The Walking Dead or any of its characters, wishful thinking aside.
Authors Note #1: This is a 'soul bond' or 'soul mate' style story. To my knowledge no one has taken a crack at this particular trope in the fandom, so this is more an experiment than anything. In this particular version, I am using a 'tattoo' or 'mark' to show how a soul bond presents itself. *This is dedicated to bsparrow who told me this would be a good idea. This is entirely her fault even though, technically, it was my idea in the first place, but since she got all proddy I feel like I have the right to blame this one on her. Ha!
Warnings: *Contains: soul bond/true mates/soul mate trope, illusions to domestic violence, spoilers for the first three seasons, adult language, adult content, AU after the fall of Atlanta, angst, UST and more.
