Ok, this will take some time to explain, dear reader. Please bear with me.
This is a Rickyl fic, more than anything else. It's definitely not RPF, promise. But if you don't even want to read about a character called Norman, please stop now. I won't mind. :)
The Norman in this fic is an amalgamation of Norman Reedus's film and TV personae. You will recognise a lot of different elements (I hope) from the various roles he's played over the years. I just basically need a name for my character that will resonate with my audience.
A lot of what I'm going to describe about the character will be Daryl-based, but there will be some OOC elements, because that's the character that's developing in my head. A sort-of Daryl in a universe without walkers, with a slightly different back story, which will emerge gradually. Do read on if you are curious. :)
So who is this fictional Norman? Well, he looks like this. Or this... Damn, now I'm getting distracted, lol...
But he's so young, you say? Yes, well, this Norman is young. Think of Rick to be about 37 (as Andy was when TWD started) and Norman to be about 30. I know he looks even younger than that here, but I think this is approximately his age in those pictures. Don't let the babyface fool you... too late, I know...
If this isn't your cup of tea, or rather coffee, no hard feelings. I get it. The rest of you, enjoy the ride!
This story is utterly, completely made up. No inspiration was drawn from real life events. The Norman in this story shares nothing with the real Norman Reedus except his name - and his angelic good looks. ;)
