Losing a child can take a mother to the very edge. Luckily for Carol, Daryl Dixon is right there to help her fight her way back. Nothing is ever straightforward now that the dead walk the earth, so how will they cope when those they'd thought lost forever, suddenly return?

MoS 'verse, set between a superhero being brought to his knees and a certain, fateful introduction. It would take months for Metropolis to return to normal, and while Superman is patient, Clark isn't quite THAT patient. Lois is either smitten or in denial, but regardless, a world-class reporter never stops asking questions.

To move forward she must go back. He won't let her go alone.

The work of one man had destroyed everything they had, everything they loved. After losing what they had worked so hard to keep, the group have to find a new path to follow in the world. (BOOK TWO) -HIATUS-

Caryl. A reverse chronology one-shot presented in three parts, created from a Nice & Naughty prompt for The Caryl Daily Valentine Fic-a-thon. Rated M for sexual situation.

Carol is taken prisoner by the Governor and questioned about where the prison is. But she'll never give up her family. She'll die before she gives up the one she loves. Caryl

Pre first-half S3 finale. "Some people see scars, & it is wounding they remember. To me they are proof of the fact that there is healing." The lives they used to live were gone. But how much of who they used to be had been swept away too? A story of two damaged souls discovering going forwards means going back & facing the things that once held you. Rated for language/adult themes.

Daryl tries to come to terms with the loss of his brother and, of course, it is a journey he strongly believes he should walk alone. But when she finds him there, next to her own grave, her kindness guides him out of the dark. Sometimes, in mourning, we see things in a different light. It doesn't have to be understood right away to be real.

Caryl. This story takes place between the final encounter between Merle and Daryl in S3/E15 and the lingering handhold in S3/E16. Rating M for language. (The Walking Dead and identifiable characters, places, and events are not mine - no infringement is intended or implied)

Post "Arrow on the Doorpost." Daryl watches the group members' reactions, then has one of his own to Carol.

In our darkest hours... that is when we realize what truly matters.

"Just didn't seem right is all. …To leave her like this."

It begins as a missing scene from early in 2x06 then grows from there to past 2x07. Daryl doesn't take too well to bedrest and finds himself a task to keep busy. A Carol/Daryl 'shipper epic. Chapter 12 up & series COMPLETE!
