ZA SLOW BURN. Beth makes it out of Grady alive! She's back with the family...and back with Daryl. Years into the turn, they're faced with the harsh reality of having to start over, again. So how will Beth and Daryl's blossoming friendship figure into it all? This will follow the general S5/6 timeline with one obvious improvement :)

Daryl had done a lot of crazy shit before but letting her into his cell had been the craziest. Everything was just so dark, and he couldn't bring himself to say no to the warm light she brought into his life. Nothing was ever simple, though, especially in the apocalypse.

Beth only knows one person who can understand the darkness inside Carl and help her friend. But she doesn't anticipate all the ways he'll change her too. Beth seeks him out to be her hero but in the end she'll be much more to him.

The wind blew and the rain fell, but you still felt safe. After all, you have Shane, and how many girls can say that. The problem is, not only is he your dance teacher, he's eighteen and no one wants you together. Smitchie. Rated M for a reason.
