Caryl (primarily) AU. In your 20's you're still growing up, in your 30's your an adult, but no one explains to you exactly what it means when you cross over to being "of a certain age" and you still feel just the same as you did before.

"She didn't hear anything. No voices from inside the prison, no walkers, no birds in the trees, not even the wind made a sound. Without speaking, they both turned, aimed their weapons and stood, shoulder to shoulder, watching the tree line. Something was coming." Caryl. Post S3 finale.

"I'm hardly the woman I was a year ago,but if Ed walked through those doors right now, breathing, and told me to go with him, I'd like to think I'd tell him to go to hell."

Daryl/OFC AU. It was the best job of his life. She was just trying to put her life back together. Somewhere between the dinner table, the garden, and a bar masquerading as a barbeque joint they started living.

A Caryl fic, set after Carol is found alive by Daryl. My first Walking Dead fic so please let me know what you think. Unsure if it will be multi chapter at this stage. Rated M for language. Will give warning on any chapters where it may be altered, so not to offend.
