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.

This story starts after the midseason finale (season 5). The group has to cope with the death of Beth. They also need to consider where to go now. Carol and Daryl are my favorites and therefore they are the main protagonists. This is going to be a Caryl fic :-) Just let me know, what you think and if I should continue. English is not my first language but I'm trying :-)

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!

Beth and Daryl attempt to navigate their changing relationship following the events at Terminus.

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.
