AN: If you have read my stories then you have probably seen my ABC guides. I really wanted to do one for the Walking Dead and so I did with my favorite couple which is Daryl and Carol. This will be broken in to three parts just like my other ones.
A- Aftermath. When the world fell in to chaos due to the aftermath of the zombie invasion, the world and people left living in it, would never be the same again. The remaining humans had to find a way to survive and make due with what they had. A new type of government was created and rules had to be established. For Daryl and Carol, it was simple since they only had one rule. They stuck together just as they had before and would continue to do so even as the world continued to change and evolve in to something new.
B- Beth. Carol could tell that Beth had a crush on Daryl and she even understand because Daryl, once you go to know him, was actually a great guy. She also knew that Daryl had no idea of the younger woman's feelings and when she brought it up to him one afternoon while on watch, he had given her a strange look almost as if he thought her to be crazy or speaking an entirely different language all together.
"It don't matter what Beth thinks she feels Carol." He paused for a moment before pressing his lips to hers gently. "I already got myself a good woman I ain't planning on trading her in anytime soon."
C- Carol. Carol would never know that from the first moment he had laid eyes on her, the redneck zombie killer had felt this strange connection to her. Carol would never know how Daryl had planned to get rid of Ed so she and Sophia wouldn't have to live in fear any longer. She would never know any of that, but in an odd way she already did know.
D- Daryl. Daryl Dixon, the outcast, the loner, the bad boy with an even worse reputation. Those were the things people told her about him when they first met up on the mountain. Carol had been told not to trust him, told he was a bad seed and would only cause trouble, but Carol knew he was different even if he tried to hide it.
The day he nearly died in search of her daughter, she decided to let him know what she thought of him in her own way. "You did more for my daughter today than her real father ever did. You're every bit as good as them, every bit and don't you let them tell you any different."
E- End. All it took for Daryl and Carol to find the love of his life was for the world to end. Sometimes then end of one thing can be the start of something amazing that you never saw coming in the first place.
F- Flowers. After escaping from Terminus, Daryl asked Carol why she cried every time she saw flowers. He suspected it had something to do with Mika and Lizzie and when Carol told him what had happened, all the archer could do was wrap his arms around her as she cried silently. Sometimes you just need to cry out your feelings and Carol had been through so much over the last few years that he knew she needed to let it out and so he would just hold her since words wouldn't do any good this time around.
G- Gore. Living life during the zombie out break meant you were going to see your share of gore, but for daryl it always brought him Carol and as long as he had her by his side, he knew without a doubt he could handle the gore and anything else the world may throw their way.
H- Home. Daryl had never really had a home before, a place where he belonged. Growing up he never knew love or friendship and he didn't experience them until he met Carol and the closer they got, the more he realized home is where the heart is and his heart was and always would be with her.
