Carol wakes up in the middle of the night and realized how lucky she is. One-Shot. Caryl. Sophia lives.

Beth mends a broken heart by leaving the prison with her family. This story will be heavy on Meth and Caryl love and smut, if you don't like, please don't read. I do not own anything remotely connected to The Walking Dead 'cause if I did Merle would still be loud and proud.

AU. Seventeen year old Merle Dixon comes home long enough to rescue his fifteen year old brother from the hands of their mother. With little more than nothing they take off for Atlanta to start a new life. This is a Caryl fic so you have been warned just in case that isn't your thing.

Making this into a multi chapter. Takes place in season 2...Carol has a secret that no one would ever suspect. Future Caryl.

Daryl, Carol and Sam are a family, living together in Alexandria. They didn't start out that way. And it wasn't an easy road. The Story of Us explores how a young boy who lost his entire family was able to bring together two damaged people and help them heal. This is the story of how Carol and Daryl fell in love with each other and how Sam became their son.

After Carol's death, Daryl makes a desperate wish to save her. Suddenly, he finds himself back in the quarry, staring as she and her daughter cower in the shadow of her husband. With all of his memories of the future intact, can Daryl change life as he knows it? And just how will this journey change him? M for later chapters. Caryl.

So I always write them so in love. Because they are, but what if they didn't really like each other, how would that go? AU no ZA. Mature. Oneshot. Caryl.

Carol Peletier meets a plumber named Daryl Dixon. AU, No walkers. Caryl.

Sometimes things unravel before you can even figure out why. But then the world changes, and all you can do is pick up the pieces of the life you leave behind and try to survive.

Daryl Dixon is a single dad to a 7 year old girl. He is making it work, getting help from Carol and Maggie, learning that raising a little girl on his own is hard to do ...which he wont have to worry about raising her alone for long.

A multi-shot I was prompted for about the Dixon brothers and Carol. Nothing redeeming about this. Rated VERY M. Takes place around the beginning of season 4. My Merle survived the governor and has both his hands. I'll write for this as inspiration strikes, updates can have good amount of time between them sometimes.

Daryl hears something from Rick he may not want to hear. Caryl Smut

Who the hell did this Rick Grimes think he was? Everybody who was anybody knew that this was his Carol. He didn't share. Not happening. No. Fucking. Way. And if this Rick Grimes didn't know this, well then he would very soon because Daryl Dixon might have been a pussy, but he damn sure wasn't going down without a fight. Cop or not. CARYL ONESHOT / RATED M

Now that they are safe behind the walls things aren't as good as they used to be. Daryl is distant and Carol is tired of fighting with him. Once she decides that it's time to move out, he's forced to finally explain what is going on with him. Unfortunately for him, he has to do this wearing nothing but a towel and a blush, because what's a Caryl story without some awkwardness?

They thought a new house in a new town would have been a fresh start. They were wrong. Caryl. Written for EnglishPoet18's fear challenge.

A one off that came into my head. Carol loves the end result when she speeds. AU Caryl

Daryl and Carol take a short moment to feel alive again, to feel something more than the sadness that lingers within them both.

Caryl One-Shot. Carol puts on a show... (Rating updated for sexual situations)

What if there was a way to prevent the events that brought the group to the prison? What if there was a way to save every single person they have lost along the way? What if second chances at the end of the world actually existed? Will they be strong enough to save the others? This story has given me many sleepless nights but I think it has been worth it.

The progression of Daryl and Carol's relationship through the seasons through their various "first" times.

Rickyl Dystopian AU. Daryl has been sentenced to a life of indentured servitude for crimes he didn't even commit. When he stands on that auction block, he assumes that when he steps down, he'll either be dead or a Walker. Either would be better than being a slave. Of course, Daryl doesn't get to make choices anymore…or so he thinks until he meets the stoic Lord Grimes.

"Carol knew that the man sitting across from her on a park bench would not be happy if he knew that he was the subject of her drawing of the day. The man was interesting, though, with his sleeveless hunter green shirt and ripped jeans. He didn't look like he belonged in the city of New York. He looked like he belonged in a wilderness somewhere." Strictly Caryl. No ZA.

What if Daryl had gone after Carol when he learned Rick banished her from the prison? Rated M for eventual sexual content. Please read and review!

A collection of Drabbles starting in Season 1 and exploring the beautiful relationship between Carol and Daryl.

"There is never a time or place for true love. It happens accidentally, in a heartbeat, in a single flashing, throbbing moment." AU Caryl story.

AU Caryl fic inspired by Garth Brooks' song That Summer. Carol is a young widow and Daryl is a teenager who goes to work on her farm for the summer. Like the line from the song says, they were both needing something from each other, not knowing yet what that might be...

What will they do when the past returns from where it is buried and they must deal with it to continue with their lives? Caryl story.

She met Daryl attempting to just hook up, but it turned into much more, that is until he was deployed over seas and the short relationship came to an end. But she needs to get in contact with him again, and the sooner the better.

After shit hit the fan and the brothers found themselves at the quarry they still managed to lose their older brother. Unsure whether he's dead or alive they soldier on. The grounding force for each other they crash head first through the world that is left around them. Starts during season 1. Going to follow the time frame loosely with a new twist on the story.

Carol was in love with him, but will she change her mind when she finds Daryl's secret stash?

AU, no zombies, first AU- CARYL He seemed a little lost for words too as he stared back at her then a scowl slowly crossed his face "What? You ain't never seen anyone in a wheelchair before?

This is just a series of connected and unconnected Caryl drabbles! The plot bunnies grabbed me and I decided to let them take me down the Caryl hole! M for Dixon mouth of course and you never know maybe other stuff too! I may come back to this at some point but for now I'm done...

Caryl AU fic. Carol and Daryl meet on a singles cruise. Based on the following prompt: Merle enters Daryl's name into a contest to win a Caribbean cruise.

What we were all hoping for after 'that' bus scene in the opening episode of season 3: CARYL all the way! A little smut, a little sweetness and the pairing of Carol and Daryl - what more could you ask for?

[NO ZA] [AU] Prompt. [Caryl] "The very essence of romance is uncertainty." -Oscar Wilde

Carol is a 15 year old girl with a home life that you just dont speak of... Daryl is a 15 year old boy with the same problem.. Well when you mix two people with the same problem that handle it differently... lets just say opposites attract... and when you think something doesnt happen on the first time... well you better go back and read the directions... oh wait...

A multi-chapter fic based on a selection from Rhinozilla's 30 Day CARYL challenge: Rosemary McLeod (Day 4); Carl ships CARYL (Day 17); CARYL at Glenn and Maggie's wedding (Day 21) and Everyone ships it loud and Proud (Day 26). Daryl will act a little OOC but only in a good way! Mainly CARYL but nearly everyone from the prison group is mentioned; with the addition of Merle!

A not so short story based on Day 27 of Rhinozilla's 30 Day challenge. 'Newcomer's to the group mistaking CARYL for a married couple'. When an innocent comment from a child at story time has Carol stating that they are not married, and Daryl's hurt feelings at her reply.

He didn't want to lose her, not after finding her and finding his voice for his feelings. She didn't want to go. Neither of them expected the way that their lives would go. Post Season 4 One shot (my first one shot). Caryl.

Big Spoon, Little Spoon Rhinozilla's 30 Day Challenge on USS CARYL.

Sometimes just deciding you're ready isn't enough...you've got to prove that you deserve what you want out of life, prove that you've got what it takes... Cyreese, eventual Caryl, other possible relationships and group involvement.

What if Carol had been stronger? What if when the walkers went after Sophia on the highway, she had gone after her? What if Ed had survived the night the quarry was attacked. What if Carol wasn't Ed's wife, but his 18 year old daughter? What if Carol and Daryl had slowly been building a friendship from day one, but had kept it a secret from everyone?

"You saw my pain washed out in the rain Broken glass, saw the blood run from my veins But you saw no fault, no cracks in my heart And you knelt beside my hope torn apart" A story about two broken, beaten, beautiful people and their fatal attraction. Will these two lovers break away and help make each other whole again? 'AU-No Walkers' M-RATING

Caryl Story! COMPLETE! Deth is not going to be the end result...PROMISE! I wouldn't do that to my fellow Carylers. Starts the morning after the episode "Still". This story emphasizes how young Beth is... One LIE that could rip Carol and Daryl apart forever. Betrayal, distrust, deception and temptations. Will love be enough? Will only be 4-5 chapters long.

Carol's tired. Tired of waiting for Daryl. So, when she let's someone else love her, desire her, want her...what will Daryl think? Will Carol even care? What makes everyone think she's the lucky one to have Daryl pay attention to her? Isn't Daryl lucky to have her?...Head's up: For creativity purposes I have one character that has no name...let's you use your imagination! :)

PWP AU. VERY M! You've been warned. Carol, Daryl, Merle, OC!

Slightly AU, the main group has reunited at the disused Terminus site but there is still the reunion of my favourite couple. Rated M for the steamy conclusion.

She'd wondered how this night would change things between them. Set just post S3.

Based on the USS Caryl difficult decisions fanfiction prompts CARYL

"Why Carol even bothered with him, he didn't know. He was just some rough redneck who wrecked everything he touched. And she was... everything. In his world of anger, self-loathing, and absolute hopeless darkness, she was the one beam of light. He wanted to protect her, to keep that light from going out. And he'd failed."

Beth goes to Daryl's room at Terminus, thinking he's in love with her, but walks in on Daryl and Carol making love. Short one-shot written after the events of season 4.

Sequel to "The Lumberjack Fantasy"...For my pleasure and yours, please read and review! Rated M for language, strong sexual content, drugs and alcohol..you know, the good stuff :p

One thing you learn when you only have yourself to depend on is that you only trust what you see, hear, and feel. Somewhere in there though, you gotta start living. This is a AU. Sorry no zombies. The main focus will be Caryl. But other character involvement should be expected. [Being revised]

"It's not a sin to screw yourself.", "I'm not gay.", "I'm not jealous.", "I'm not angry." These are the things they tell themselves so that they can get through one more day. These are the mantras they repeat so that they can live with themselves. Because sometimes the lies we tell ourselves are better than the realities we have to face.

Can two people that have been broken find a way to heal and come together? CARYL/METH Fanfic. AU for now...but could change later.

Brothers in Life, Brothers in Death. Merle raised Daryl until he went to prison, and they both got a new life. A twist in the Dixon Brothers past leads them to succeed in the present. Badass Dixons with family, blood and bikes! Chapter 1 is an Authors note, please read!

It was an accident, but it lead to the best thing that could ever happen to abused housewife and mother, Carol Peletier.

This story starts off immediately after Carol is banished from the prison. Daryl searches for her and will be helping her to deal with what she has done. This is a Caryl story and there will be emotions flying as they stop hiding their feelings from one another. This is a love story. I can promise that Daryl will step up to be Carol's defender and she will open up her heart to him.

Daryl Dixon hated hospitals. He hated the way they smelled. He hated the bright fluorescent lights. He hated those stupid gowns they put you in. He hated all the sick people wandering around. But mostly he hated the way those doctors and nurses looked at him, like he was just another trashy, redneck junkie trying to score a prescription for Oxy. AU, no zombies

What if you could meet yourself 14 years in the future? Or the past? Would you like the person you were or the person you will become? Daryl is faced with this opportunity, which maybe a challenge. Weird Twilight Zone aspects. Story is DONE; will post a chapter a day.

This starts as an alternate version of the flirting-on-the-bus scene from 3x01. Daryl decides to get even. Rating for potty mouth and sexy adult themes.

This is a very AU story that takes place with no apocalypse. Daryl moves to the small town of Sweet Junction with his brother in an attempt to start fresh, when he gets there, though, he never expects the turn that his life is going to take. Many characters from the show as well as OCs. It will eventually have Caryl as the primary relationship. Merle/Andrea as well.

AU Season 4: As a health crisis for one of the original Atlanta survivors sends Daryl and Carol into danger on a mission of mercy, the addition of the Woodbury refugees to the Prison group forces them to re-examine their special connection. Very Caryl, some fluff, flashbacks to early days at the prison, and some sweet smut in later chapters for those who have been asking for it!

How a little bath water changes everything.

Run. All they had done for the last few weeks was run from the Governor. Now they were exhausted and in desperate need of a place to hide for the night. What will happen when the group seek sanctuary in an abandoned hotel? Caution: SMUT WARNING for Chapter 2. 4theloveofcaryl Hotel Picture Prompt Contest Winner: BEST OVERALL & BEST OF CONTEST.

Carol and Daryl had managed to hide their affair from Ed until he is approached by a woman who was rejected by Daryl. In order to protect Daryl Carol disappears when he is out looking for work. AU-oneshot and bit of OOCness. Rated M for the lovely Dixon potty mouth. No walkers.

Set 1x3. What if Ed didn't die at the end of this episode? How would this effect things between Daryl and Carol? Would Carol still stay meek and quiet? Or would she finally stand up to Ed? This is my take on things. Let me know what you think. Re-vamped and edited.

Set end of 2x13 Beside the dying fire - Daryl & Carol face an unclear future with the farm lost they try to buid a life & relationship but with every high there is always a low. When things hit breaking point will they pulling together or tair apart.
