Rodgersehide bio
 After months of reading and reviewing all the fantastic storys on this site, I have finally opened up my own account. I have been reviewing under the name GUEST2 and some of you have graciously written back to me on your own stories. I hope having my own account will allow me to better thank all of you who write so beautifully. I am not a writer but an avid reader. I am perhaps a bit older than many of you but I feel that I am very young at heart since I spend my days teaching Science to 13 and 14 year olds in Middle School. I am currently obsessed with The Walking Dead. Perhaps, someday I will try my hand at writing but for now I am happy reading all the great stories you truly gifted writers have created. |

Becoming by the ramblin rose reviews
Caryl, ZA/AU. Starting Season 1. Prequel to "Daddy," but can stand alone. His old man had always taught him that men were born to be just what they were and nothing more, but life was teaching Daryl that we are all always in a constant state of becoming—and we can become so much more than we may have once believed possible.

Secrets by the ramblin rose reviews
Caryl, ZA/AU Oneshot turned multi-chapter. Post Season 2/Pre Season 3. Daryl couldn't help but to notice her. She held his attention, even though he didn't dare to tell her. He only wish he'd been observant enough to notice everything about her.

Region Thirty Three by the ramblin rose reviews
Caryl AU. The government is working to round up the wilds that won't assimilate. In prison they'll be "tamed," one way or another. The sentence for a crime that includes all possible crimes under the title of "Wild" is, as far as any inmate is concerned, life imprisonment. At Region Thirty Three, though, there's a possibility to find a kind of life within that sentence.

Exodus by mayrwyn reviews
"I'm never going to live like that again," Carol hears herself say. The words are quiet, spoken softly because they are mostly to herself, but her voice doesn't shake and there's a certainty that comes with speaking them aloud that she isn't sure she'll feel ten minutes from now.

Deleted Scenes by Terp4Life reviews
This story fills in some of the gaps between the scenes from The Walking Dead, as if they were deleted scenes like you'd find on a DVD. It focuses mainly, though not exclusively, on Carol & Daryl because they're my favorites. I'm following the path of the show, just with extra emphasis on the Caryl relationship.

Slow Dancing in a World on Fire by RevlerRose reviews
This is a SHORT Caryl Story. The story picks up at the end of Season 5 directly after Rick shoots Pete and is what 'could have' happened following that incident. It should be only three chapters long and all should be up within a week. It is basically my fun 'brain break' from editing my novel. This is rated M for GRAPHIC sexual content in chapters 2 and 3.

Daryl Dixon found Montana by chance. He ran from home because he couldn't live there any longer. Not with his ol' man, and not with his brother. He was just looking for a fresh start in a place called nowhere, where nobody knew him. He didn't expect to find much. Just a quiet life, a job, and maybe some peace - for once. What he never expected was to find her. AU, no walkers.

Honorable Intentions by whowhatsitwhich reviews
He knows this isn't a good idea. They're not his and never will be. He's not the kind of man to let a little thing like feelings change his mind...but walking away from these two might be harder than he thought. Mostly canon compliant with a few AU tweaks...beginning in Season One.

Daryl has never had much praise or comfort in his life. When the group starts thanking him for the things that he does, he has no idea how to take it but secretly he yearns for it, especially from Rick. Most of the group don't notice the small looks Daryl gives Rick, the gestures that he does just to get a word of praise or a look of recognition, but Shane does... SLASH

Pretty by EleanorK reviews
But that didn't mean she still didn't look at herself after a shower, see her body as it was, and wonder if it was all gone. The time of freshness and beauty, all used up and tossed away. Time to settle on practical tasks. There wasn't time to be pretty. But pretty wasn't the only thing of value she had, she thought, standing up and heading toward the wing where Daryl's cell was.
