If Beth had NOT been kidnapped and Daryl and she had stayed on the road together: On the road, searching for safety, searching for community, keeping an eye out for their dispersed group, Daryl and Beth make a go of it as best they can, becoming a solid unit of two. Encountering both the living and the dead, they must fight not only for survival but for faith the fight is worth it.

Beth stands close to Daryl. Daryl's eyes always float to her. The group is beginning to notice... Is there a life to be made together? [Set post Season 3, the bulk written before Season 4 aired, thus rendered a little AU, i.e. no Zach, Carl's not in the farming penalty box, etc.]

After the battle for Terminus the group finally has the space and numbers they need to start over, but is there enough left of who they were to live in their new world?
