Couple: Daryl Dixon/Stiles Stilinksi
Important Note: For the Walking Dead; Obviously taking place in season 2. The people I have in Rick's group are: Shane(always was good, never evil), Dale, Carl, Lori, Jim, T-Dog, Daryl(obvious), Andrea, Amy, Glenn, Morales family, Carol, Sophia, and Jacqui. For Teen Wolf; that is completely AU (alternate universe), as in it holds none of the show's plot. So don't carry anything you know about Teen Wolf to this story, because it is not following the events of the show. Enjoy!
How a Boy Brought Life Into a Once Gloomy Redneck
A Walking Dead and Teen Wolf crossover
Chapter 1: Little Miracles

T-Dog, Amy, and Andrea walked to Daryl from the forest. When he noticed them, he asked the burning question.
"Find her?"
Andrea shook her head sorrowfully. "No."
Daryl sighed heavily and nodded them off. They were outside on the Greene farm camping out in their front yard till they find a steady shelter. They continued to search for Sophia, but came up with no trace yet. She's been missing for a week now, but they won't give up until they know she's dead or alive.
An hour passes, the sun beginning to set. Daryl admires the beautiful colors it creates in the sky. Rick looks over at him from his place on a log in thought. He really appreciates Daryl's strong efforts in finding Sophia. His empathy goes out to the man. He's sure it's tearing the tough guy up inside, though, he refuses to show it.
"Kay, Glenn, you're up first." Dale stated to the 20 year old.
"Alright." He responded, getting ready to climb on top of the RV. Once up there, he kept a sharp eye on their surroundings, protecting everyone from a surprise attack.
After a few minutes of being on the job that day, he already was seeing something, though, he couldn't quite tell what the form was from the far distance.
"Guys! There's someone out there!" Glenn called down to his friends.
The whole camp stopped what they were doing and came over to the RV to look in the direction Glenn was.
"What is it?" Andrea asked trying to strain her eyes to see the figure clearly.
"Wait till they get a bit closer. We should see what it is first before putting on defense." Shane said.
Rick nodded. "He's right. If it's someone that needs our help, we don't want to scare them off."
The group obeyed and waited till the figure came closer to eye range. Once the figure did and they could finally make out what they were seeing, they thought their eyes were playing tricks on them. What they saw was a young boy – looking closest to Glenn, Amy, and Maggie's age – carrying a little girl on his back. That little girl being Sophia. The group was too shocked to move or speak until Carol said something.
"So…Sophia…?"
The girl wiggled around on the boys back, signaling she wanted down, so the boy let her down gently and watched her run as fast as she could to her mother.
"Mom!" she cried as she got closer.
Carol opened her arms and picked her up when she made it to her and hugged tightly with teary eyes.
"Oh my god, you're okay! It's alright, mommy's got'chu…." Sophia softly said something to her mother through her sobbing. "...The dog boy saved you? Well, he is as kind as a dog, so I guess that's your nickname for him. You're alright now, honey, sh-sh-sh-sh." Carol soothed her daughter.
The rest of the group – the Greene family included since they came outside from hearing shouts – finally showed relief and joy, seeing as it was confirmed that it wasn't their imagination and Sophia is really with them. Carl ran over to Carol to see his best friend again. The mystery boy that came with her was finally standing right before them all with a content smile at the touching reunion. Daryl felt so elated at that moment. Not only because Sophia is back and safe, but also for this stranger. He can't explain it, but he feels an instant bond with this kid.
"So you're her mother. Glad you're okay," The boy stated. "Sure are a lot more of you than what she described." The boy had quaffed up hair, fair skin, and wore a blue shirt with tan pants that cut off above the knee.
Carol gazed at the boy. "Thank you…so much for bringing her back safely. Thank you."
The boy smiled warmly at her. "My pleasure, ma'am."
Rick walked right up to him and held out his hand, inviting him in a shake.
"We can't thank you enough. What's your name, son?"
The boy shook his hand. "Stiles Stilinski."
"Well, Stiles….would you like to join us for a bit and fill us in?" Rick offered.
"Sure thing. I'm sure you want to know how I came across her, and want to know what I know." Stiles then was offered to come inside along with the others to speak in the living room of the Greene house. Daryl sneered when he noticed Andrea discreetly had her gun.
"What the hell'r ya doin'?!" Daryl whisper-yelled to her.
Andrea looked at him in disbelief. "What do you think? It would be foolish to fully trust him when we don't know a thing about him. This is just incase."
Daryl glared at her. "That kid means no harm, that much is obvious. Like hell I'm lettin' ya bring a weapon near em. So you either leave the gun, or you're stayin' outside." Daryl's instinct were never wrong, and they're telling him to trust and protect him.
Andrea huffed and rolled her eyes in frustration, but the man being too intimidating, she relented and turned to leave her gun back with her belongings. When they all settled in the Greene living room, they all focused on the newcomer.
"Before I found her, I was leaving my home in South Carolina to travel around the areas closest, seeing if anyone needed help. Conveniently enough, sometime after I entered Georgia, I found her in some woods between all these towns that was near the coast. Smart little thing….she found a way to keep herself alive. She told me she's been separated from her mom and her friends for days, and been living off of fruit she found on plants and anything else she could find in abandoned food stores. I offered to help get her back to the people she belonged to, and….here we are."
As Stiles was speaking, Daryl took this time to admire him. No one was paying attention to him, so he reveled in the opportunity to analyze this gorgeous boy. His preference for guys wasn't known to anyone, so he'd rather keep it between this beauty and himself.
Carol looked down at her daughter in her lap with pride. "That's my baby girl." Carol hugged her.
"You're from South Carolina?" Lori asked.
"Yeah. My friends and family are waiting for me there. I've been gone for a while, hopefully they're not worrying."
"So you won't be staying?" Sophia asked sadly.
Stiles' eyes softened at her. "I'm afraid not, sweetheart. My pack needs me back at the Marion Islands."
That caught the Atlanta survivors' attention. "Islands?" Rick asked, a glimmer of hope in his voice.
Stiles met his eyes. "Yeah, we moved there when this disease sprang up to keep the infected from spreading more than it already has."
"So you're saying these islands are unreachable to them….safe?" Shane asked with hope as well.
"Completely safe. They're surrounded by water, no land connected."
The Atlanta group started to exude happiness.
"We're saved!" Glenn cheered.
"We can finally live without fear, Andrea." Amy said happily as she hugged her sister excitedly.
Stiles gazed at all of them in surprise. "You mean, you're not safe here?"
"Well, we are, but…." Rick looked at Hershel.
"They aren't stayin'." Hershel explained to the boy.
Realization sunk into Stiles. "Oh….I see…..well, um...you're welcome to come with me then. There's lots of room."
The Atlanta group really cheered now. Rick came up to Stiles and patted him on his shoulder.
"Thanks again. You don't know how much you did for us today."
Stiles smiled. "No problem."
Daryl walked by Andrea and whispered to her. "Told ya."
Andrea huffed and ignored him sassily, not wanting to admit she was wrong.
When Daryl was near Stiles, he gave him a thankful gaze while unknowingly also showing a bit of his feelings for him in them. When Stiles met his eyes and read his body language, he gave a discreet sign in his own body language that he was interested such as looking away and blushing, biting his lip. Then returning his eyes back to him and gave him a smile. What Daryl – and everyone that knew him – thought would never happen, happened. Daryl finally was in love.

End chap. 1
I hope you enjoyed the first chapter of this new story. I just had to cross these two fandoms with each other. They seem to blend so well, and Daryl and Stiles seem so cute together. Next chapter, Rick's group follow Stiles to the salvation they've been dreaming of. Easier said than done when you have to fight off walkers to get anywhere. There's a secret about Stiles and his group that only Sophia knows, but she won't be the only one for long when Rick's group stumble into huge 6ft tall wolves while entering Stiles' home, the Marion Islands. Till next chapter. ^ - '
