No ZA Au. Beth is a new nurse in an ICU at a hospital. One of her first patients is a man named Daryl who is in a coma after a motorcycle accident and appears to have no family to speak of. Beth finds herself intrigued by the man. Will he ever wake up? Bethyl.

He'd tracked her all the way to this creepy hospital with the cops that had a woman with dead eyes as a leader. There was no way he was just going to let Beth stand toe to toe with her without him being within arm's reach. Bethyl - Slowburn Rated M for language and eventual adult situations.

Faced with going to jail, Hershel has offered Daryl a way to redeem himself and pay back for the damages done. What happens when Daryl lays his eyes upon the farmer's daughter?

Daryl had messed up, that was a huge understatement, but the idea still held. Now he was sitting in the local hospital in a long room with machines lining the walls and little chambers that housed, in a few of them, tiny bodies like the one he was staring at. According to Sheriff Grimes this little tissue thin body was his – the premature baby girl in there was Daryl's daughter.

A look into Beth's bedroom after she is reunited with the group.

Daryl Dixon has a problem. (Should probably warn people it's smutty. Oh man, so smutty.)Non-ZA/AU

But when she saves a monster of a very different kind, she finds herself drawing close to her goal in ways she never expected. And he might be the most unexpected thing of all. Bethyl and werewolves, yay

AU. Beth is a new hire at the bar Daryl frequents. Drugs, alcohol, drama, and angst...of course there's angst. This accidentally turned into a slow burner despite my best intentions. Rated M for reasons. Naked ones.

A coming of age story. AU. No longer updating.

Bethyl AU It's finally the big day, Maggie and Glenn's wedding day. Beth is maid of honor, Daryl is the best man. What could happen next? Knowing these two, all kinds of fluffy sweetness.

Separated from everyone else, Beth and Daryl look for comfort in each other. Fully guilty pleasure Bethyl one-shot, expanded but still shameless. M for a reason.

Daryl was sick of crash and burn relationships. They come to an agreement. Find out what happens when the line between friendship and love is crossed. This is AU and they may be slightly OOC.

With plans under way to get Eugene to DC, there's a little time for reflection. This is a series of interrelated one-shots set post-boxcar focusing on Daryl coming to terms with his feelings for Beth. I'm rating it M just in case. Just in case...

Daryl/Beth AU No Zombies - Beth was trapped inside of her car after the crash, upside down, windows shattered, and metal pieces everywhere from the impact. Disoriented, she couldn't escape. That is, until a man with an angel winged vest came to save her life. And from there on out, both of their lives were changed by each other.

Collection of requested Bethyl prompts.

..Daryl/Beth.. AU - no zombies. He saved her that early morning in the doughnut shop and didn't say anything to her afterwards. He went back to his doughnut and coffee and didn't even look at her again. But Beth looked at the older man with the too-long hair and frown on his face and couldn't look away.

Post 5x08 "Coda". The group deals with the loss of Beth and Daryl is slowly distancing himself. Then one day, the strangest thing happens and his world is turned upside-down. [Coda fix-it fic. Bethyl slow burn. Rated M. Has been nominated for Moonshine Awards in a few categories, so thank you for that! :)]

AU/No ZA Beth Greene is a shy librarian working at a college where she spends part of her lunch hour fantasizing about the handsome man sitting across from her. A chance encounter, as well as a tragedy, bring Beth and Daryl together, and a strong bond is formed. This is a slow burn, good ole' fashioned love story folks. Bethyl. Bethyl. Bethyl. Very Mild M (M- maybe)

Daryl finds himself back in the last place he wants to be- his childhood hometown. He can't wait to settle his deceased father's affairs and get back out, but a run-in with a pretty blonde who doesn't know this-or-that about the Dixons has him re-thinking everything. [Bethyl, AU]

Beth stepped closer to wrap her arms around him in a hug that warmed him down to his toes, even with her little belly poking at him. This girl had no idea the effect she had on other people - on him - or the effect she would have on their baby. She was going to be a great mother - a protective mother - a lioness. Daryl could see it now. (Last installment of The Ampersand Series.)

Beth sure as hell wasn't the wide-eyed innocent farmer's daughter she tried to portray herself as and he was gonna teach her a lesson she'd never forget. Bethyl smut.

..Daryl/Beth.. AU S4 prison. Beth looked back to him and she was smiling again and he didn't know her well enough to know if it was an actual smile or a fake one. And for some reason, not knowing that bothered him even though he had no idea why it would. He had other things – bigger things – to worry about than whether or not Beth Greene's smile was genuine.

In a small town in which he doesn't expect to stay long, Daryl Dixon comes upon a girl walking by the side of the road at two in the morning, soaked to the skin. He could offer to drive her home. But he very much wants to not seem like a creep. He also doesn't want to just leave her there. He has no idea what he's getting into. - Bethyl AU: no zombies, no apocalypse of any kind.

Beth is a second year student at the Berklee College of Music in Boston and gets paired with a dark, quiet, fellow Southerner for a guinea pig project and they both end up getting more than they bargained for. Rated M for future content.

AU No Zombies Bethyl. She was a rising star, America's newest sweetheart: a cute farm girl thrown into the spotlight, into the viciousness of the press and the paparazzi and all the judgment that came with the job. She sang and played the guitar, even wrote her own music. And he was a nobody, at least by his terms. Until a chance meeting happens and their worlds collide. Daryl/Beth

Set after "Too Far Gone," Daryl and Beth are on the run, fighting to survive and fighting to find the others. But they find that they could never have imagined the obstacles they would face; obstacles that will test their faith and humanity, as well as themselves.

AU Homeless Daryl/Mommy Beth. "She approaches him too fast, and she barely has enough time to react to the white wings she suddenly sees in front of her as she jerks the car to a halt, and suddenly she realizes that she doesn't hear the wailing anymore." Rated M for smut.

Beth and Daryl are reunited in Alexandria but can they figure out a way to bridge the gap in their relationship? Beth seems broken and Daryl is just angry. Can they navigate their relationship now that they are back together? Beth is no longer the doe-eyed innocent from before. Daryl is no longer the brooding angry soul. What does all this mean for them? Rating may change.

AU Brick. Takes place in King County after Lori's death. Rick is a crank, miserable, SOB. Beth is new in town and hired to tutor Carl through summer school. (I'm pretty terrible at summaries, so just read the thing. And I apologize for deleting it and reposting. I had problems with stuff. Thangs.) Rated MA for reasons.

Beth Greene is a young single mother who works as an adult film star to support her son. Daryl Dixon, hurting for money as usual, picks up a weekend job as a security guard at the Sinful Pictures studio. An awkward first encounter, shared smoke breaks, and drunken moonshine confessions are just stops along the way as these two souls manage to find love in each other.

Daryl was after her to rest more; would gently push her onto the couch, refused to let her hunt or haul or dig. Time ate Beth up - every little bit of her brain - any piece of it that she used to be able to quiet with movement or exhaustion. All she had were dragging days, the long hours crawling past as she waited - bracing herself for the worst. Always the worst.

This is an AU story set in season 3. Beth and Daryl start to notice the inevitable chemistry between them and soon sparks start to fly.

Sequel to The Past Comes Home! Beth is once again back home in Georgia (for good) and is trying to win Daryl's forgiveness for everything that she has done.

Daryl and Beth are in two separate relationships, trying to fight their feelings for each other proves to be nearly impossible. what happens when you play with fire?

..Daryl/Beth.. AU - no zombies. "They had been married for a week and everyone in town knew about it by now; the whispers and the stares already getting on his nerves." Beth and Daryl's first year of marriage. Part of the "House Call" series.

Beth has been looking forward to starting college for as long as she can remember and some jerk bartender isn't about to ruin that for her. Bethyl College AU.

..Daryl/Beth.. Sequel to "House Call". There were so many things Daryl Dixon never said but she had learned long ago that with him, she had to look at his actions rather than waiting for words he would never feel comfortable with himself saying to her.

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.]

..Daryl/Beth.. AU - No zombies. Sheriff Rick Grimes needs to talk to Daryl Dixon about his whereabouts the night before. Different character POVs on different points in Daryl and Beth's relationship.

Daryl didn't look up from the ground as Rick spoke his name. He didn't want his eyes or his expression to give away the way he was feeling. Rickyl. Please read and review. Heavy smut.

This story follows the supposition that Norman and Emily are dating or at least interested in doing so. These chapters are a compilation into one story revolving around the filming of Still and Alone. We will see if it goes anywhere other than that. This will be tastefully done. Please let me know how I did, and

"Now it was like she had broken through something that was holding the real her back and she was shaking free." Beth escapes her captor and finds Daryl just as he is being loaded into the train car at Terminus. What happens when Beth breaks lose from the quiet good girl mold and steps up to become her own woman? Not all peaches bruise easy. Bethyl heavy

WALKING DEAD AU. BETH POV Good grades, a great job, her own apartment, Beth was off to a pretty decent start at being on her own. But throw in Daryl Dixon, his jackass brother, and random phone hang ups? That would throw anyone off their game... (possible POV switches between her and Daryl, eventual smut and fluff and romance and all that jazz. Rating will change w/ the story)

A/U Companion to "New Georgia Home". It's clear that Beth and Daryl have a happy story, but when did their love begin? This is the story of Daryl and Beth before they were newlyweds, back when Beth was a high school senior and Daryl was helping Hershel on the farm. This is the story of how their happy ending came to be.

He wasn't able to save Merle, but he promised himself that he'd try like hell to save the injured and petrified girl he found by the bottom of the bridge. The only question was; How do you save another person, if you had managed to already lose yourself a very long time ago? - Bethyl AU

Part 2 of 3 of my 'Mr. Dixon' series, sequel to 'Pleasure to Meet You, Mr. Dixon.' Daryl and Beth have survived the Governor's revenge, but at what cost? Will they be able to rebuild their relationship and move on with their lives, or will the guilt and pain of their losses crush and break them apart? First two chapters pick up after ch 14 of 'Pleasure...' the rest will be post 15.

Nashville AU: It's the same old song, with a new tune. [follow up to 'inside my head (there's a record that's playing) and 'we're along in our own world']

*Sequel to For the Ones You Love* The group has found themselves held against their will in a boxcar within the 'sanctuary' of Terminus. The people of Terminus believe to have themselves a smooth operation going, but what they don't realize is that they have never met Rick Grimes and his group. A caged animal does not make it tame... *Post season 4*

Beth escapes from the hospital and finds Daryl and the rest of the group. They're left to deal with their unresolved feelings, yet still face reality in the chances of love in a zombie apocalypse.

BETHYL. good feels, slow burns, true love and all that good stuff... with walker killings of course, and angsty trauma. Really too long to summerize so please read!

"He seemed an unlikely friend for his youngest daughter but he made her happy and that was all Hershel wanted for his children. He wasn't about to take that happiness from Beth or from the Dixon boy." I suck at summaries. AU, NO zombies, Bethyl.

*I don't own the characters of TWD* (Bethyl) (AU) (Slow Burn)(M for Sex/Language/Drug use) (Other TWD characters) (No apocalypse/walkers) Daryl Dixon lives in his brother's shadow. He wants to change his life for the better. When Beth Greene crosses his path, he realizes he might stand a chance.

Daryl and Beth have a failure to communicate. Lust, love and angst. Story takes place in the Season 4/ Ep.13 "Alone" world. However, Beth does not get kidnapped.

A look at what might happen if Beth and Daryl form a bond earlier in the series. Beth believes Daryl to be a good man and Daryl finds that, despite knowing better, he wants Beth to continue looking at him like he is one. Romance/Horror/Action/Angst/Suspense. S2 onward with my own take on things.

BETHYL This is a light smutty, yet sweet story. Beth suffers a horrible break up from her fiancee, Zach, seeking comfort in the arms of Daryl Dixon she gets more then she asked is is an au! NO WALKERS. Beth is more experienced at the age of 24 (she is similar to Emily Kinney). Daryl is a sweet and salty mix of Norman Reedus and Daryl Dixon. (Best summary I could do w/o spoiling it)

Beth and Daryl have fled the prison and have been on their own for 2 months now. Unsure of the future, they are forging ahead. They meet Lucky, a straggly looking mutt that wins their hearts. Can they build a life together despite the fact that it seems hopeless. Lots of angst just like we like for our favorite couple. Rated M for eventual smut.

this is the matching fic to A dozen secrets Beth knows about Daryl and one she dosent. light hearted fluff, please read and review :)

there are a dozen secrets beth knows about daryl, but there is one thing that everyone else knew about him and she didnt. she wont mind when she finds out though. please r&r i know its a little long but i think its worth it. enjoy the fluffiness that is bethyl. xx

This takes place during the time of 'Still' where Daryl and Beth are hiding out in the trunk of the car. Just my take on what could have happened in the hours they spent inside. Rated M for language and mentions of abuse. Smut in later chapters.

BETHYL AU. He's spent the past seven years trying to get over her, but even the end of the world can't keep Beth out of his dreams or his thoughts. A twist of fate brings them back together, and Daryl is eighteen all over again. It's his last chance to win her back, and Daryl will do whatever it takes. First loves never last, but he's hoping they're the exception. SMUT.

An injury leads Daryl to an island where he meets a new and interesting woman. As Beth and Rick catch up to him, seclusion at this new place changes their relationship. As feelings evolve and time passes will these relationships be enough or will there be room for growth and change? Rated M for sMut, I own nothing but the OC... but only cause TWD owns me.

Unable to find any other survivors Beth and Daryl head out alone and begin to learn how one can bear to live in this new world. Canon divergence after 'Still'.

AU prison story starting in late season 3. Shows the evolution of Beth and Daryl's relationship if things had gone differently. Bethyl

No ZA. Part 1/3. Beth is a song writer hoping to write her own songs and sing them. She hopes to move on with her life but struggles to let go of the past. Daryl is a drifter, following Merle wherever he goes. Their paths cross and a friendship is formed. Beth realizes that she wants more but danger threatens their lives and the lives of her family. Will their relationship survive?

This story started on AO3 as a one off smutfest. But as I got to writing, I realised how much I loved the pairing of Daryl and Beth. So I decided to give them a bit more of a story. TV show inspired storyline with comic book style themes. Contains violence, sex, drug use, some very adult themes and language. Mature Audiences only. Disclaimer: I do not own The Walking Dead.

Daryl Dixon has a pretty bad hand at life, he's stuck at AA with his abusive father, when he meets Beth. Maybe the only person who can understand him, Daryl sets out to save her from her own self-destruction. We'll look at family dynamics and the importance of relying on someone else. non-apocalyptic.

"Every bad thing that happened to us, to you, led us to where we are now. I mean, yeah, I wish things would've happened without all the blood and violence," She let her cheek connect to his forearm carefully, "But I'd never take back anything that had happened. I wouldn't take back meeting you. Ever." Bethyl AU. Enjoy and give me feedback :)

After the prison falls, Beth and Daryl are on their own. When they find the funeral home, they think they have found a safe haven. But then Beth is taken and Daryl will do anything to find her. But will he be able to help her after the trauma she's been through? Will they ever be able to find their way into each other's arms?

He doesn't fit in in Alexandria. Like the rest of them he's too wild, too feral for these nice folk with their nice houses. They're scared of him, scared of all of them. But it doesn't matter. Doesn't matter at all because there's only one world that needs to accept Daryl. Only one world that counts.

Their friendship emerged on the farm, their relationship matured in the prison, and their feelings evolved on the run...but that was before his heart was ripped from his chest, leaving him sitting in the middle of the road with no hope. The world ended for Daryl Dixon long after the beginning of the apocalypse. (Bethyl)

Everything they knew was gone, and the people they cared about were scattered. There weren't many guarantees in life outside the prison, but one thing was certain, nothing was coming between them now. Bethyl. AU after 4A finale.

A Bethyl story. What if Beth never got kidnapped? What if Daryl saved her before the kidnappers could snatch her? And what if they, too, saw the Terminus sign and decided to go there to find another sanctuary after the prison? Beth and Daryl are polar opposites, but when they're stuck with each other in the apocalypse... feelings will be revealed. Rated T for violence.

Non ZA AU. Beth has never really known what she wanted out of life, or where her place was. Finding out where you belong and what you want isn't always what you'd expect, it also isn't always easy.

Takes place right after "Us" (S4, E15). Daryl has taken up with Joe's group on their way to Terminus, but his heart is telling him to turn back and look for Beth. Will Joe and the group help? Will they ever find Beth? Will she still be the same Beth before they were separated? Bethyl.

This prompt was given to me by Akiraflame on Tumblr. Its a Bethyl story where Beth and Daryl have a very awkward sex talk and guess what happens next! SMUT, one-shot

Beth and Daryl post-reunion in season 5. Basically, things get a little smutty after they are back together. Oneshot.

BETHYL. A set of FIVE short, introspective one shots leading up to a reunion. Different character perspectives on Bethyl. Rated M, because...Dixon mouth mostly.

This story is post Terminus, post Bethyl reunion, and is written for the sole purpose of inducing Bethyl feels. It encompasses the prompts from Bethyl week in a 6 chapter story arc of Beth and Daryl's journey through their feelings for one another and what it means to find love and hope in a hopeless place. Hope you enjoy!

Sequel to Beautiful Here. Fort Pulaski became their home; they have clean water, a limited but fulfilling food supply, and a lighthouse that Beth sees as her personal beacon of hope. But Beth's bored with the babysitter routine, and sharing a bedroom with Carol is beginning to concern her. Can Daryl provide her the escape she needs? Can love save you when you're lost?

Daryl/Beth Companion fanfic to "Maggie's Nightmare." In a world where hope is hard to come by, Daryl Dixon finds his light at the end of the tunnel in Beth Greene. This story is for all Bethyl and Deth Shippers, who are fans of the pairing of Daryl Dixon and Beth Greene.

Bethyl story. Taking place right after their escape from Terminus, the prison group and their new allies got out of there. It's time for Daryl Dixon to tell Maggie what happened to her sister. And for us to learn where was Beth taken. Some Maggie and Daryl bonding. A bit of Rick. And a lot of Bethyl. No smut sorry. Rated M for language and possible sexual abuse. ***COMPLETE***

BETHYL/DETH Season 4 AU. Daryl brings some books home from a run, causing a subtle shift in his relationship with Beth. "He didn't think on Beth. Tried not to... That was a fool thing to do, and Daryl Dixon wasn't a fool. Just a man trying to survive." Rated for language, eventual sexual situations. No longer a oneshot!

When the prison fell, Daryl and Beth escaped together. Now cut off from the rest of the group, they realize their true feelings for each other. This is the first part of the story.

Canon divergence after season 4 and based on Maslow's Hierarchy of Needs. Beth makes it to Washington DC with Father Gabriel with mixed feelings of apprehension and relief. When she stumbles on a familiar face out on the job, a relationship like no other will bud. When two people are brought together under undesirable circumstances, a bond is almost always cemented in each other.

On the way to DC, Daryl and Beth must fight the horrors of the new world and their own inner conflicts to survive. Accepting the love they find in each other, they are given new hope and a new reason to live.

He was like a breath of life for her, they needed each other much more than both realized. They completed each other, full circle. She never really thought anyone needed her like that, and he wasn't ashamed of showing her it either. They needed each other because they both had what the other needed to be complete. She was his breath of life too. Bethyl Smut Fluff

Daryl and Beth had to flee the prison in a hurry. Beth wants to find Maggie and Judith. Daryl tries to protect Beth by shielding her from walkers and keeping her at arm's length. Beth just wants Daryl to see her as the woman she has become. Daryl soon realizes that keeping Beth alive is easy. Keeping her out of his arms is a different story.

Beth and Daryl have just escaped the prison, uncertain about the future and running for their lives, they seek comfort in each other. 21 years later their daughters are on a mission to figure out their past and who their parents really were. Bethyl

Daryl saves Beth from her kidnappers, but neither of them realized that she would continue to need him, especially when the night comes and she needs someone to keep her company! Based off of a prompt in the Bethyl tag on tumblr.

If you were quiet, if you were small, little, if you seemed weak until the last moment, you'd live. You'd survive. You'd thrust a machete up through a walker's skull and you'd live. Five years in the future, tv-canon, Beth & Daryl, and a little girl gone feral.

Ten times that Daryl realizes that Beth is no longer safely tucked into the little girl category that he keeps her in.

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.
