An alternate universe story. Non-apocalypse. Sasha has an unexpected visitor. A night of intrigue and anxiety leads to new stages in more than one relationship. Merle's unexpected visit has unexpected consequences, not only for him, but others.

A short alternative universe story about Daryl and Sasha discovering new levels to their relationship. The two of them are not on the exact same page, but getting there. (I do not own the characters or *The Walking Dead*.)

A story that holds tremendous angst for Sasha and Daryl. Sasha has a lot to explain to Daryl. Her explanation causes them both pain. Will this bring them closer? Trouble often does, but can break a relationship, also. TWD AU; emotional pain; angst. Daryl Dixon, Sasha Williams, mention of other characters. Don't remotely own The Walking Dead characters. Original character

A large gathering at Rick and Michonne's is an opportunity for Daryl and Sasha's connection to grow. The day after the party, they spend a fun, interesting day together. They make the most of their time together. Things change for the two of them. Love begins for them. Daryl and Sasha don't miss the chance to take the chance to be together. AU;no ZA. Please review.

Daryl had an emotional break through. His family is there to love and support him as he works out the pain from his past. Sasha is there for him, but will he be able to face that pain? Being willing to face his past will be his path to loving Sasha and himself. (I don't own The Walking Dead or its characters)

A U;No ZA.Daryl and Sasha have intense feelings for each other that run deep. Feelings are frightening for Daryl. He can't control his feelings for her, so he tries to control Sasha instead. Sasha loves Daryl, but resists his efforts to make her less independent. Daryl must rely on his love for Sasha to conquer his fear of emotions. (I don't own The Walking Dead or Characters)

Daryl's feelings unsettle him. This new dynamic between him and Sasha only adds to his discomfort with emotions. She presents Daryl with a real chance at a new life. Is the possibility of a full life, even in the ZA, worth delving into the ugly past? Daryl has to answer that question before he can have a chance to be a whole human being.

Daryl's past is finally brought to the present. It is a chance for him to build new relationships if he can face his past.

Daryl is afraid, but fear gives way to joy. Even in the broken world after the turn, he found a family and now that word means more than he ever thought it would. One Shot
