CARICKYL.

"Wonder what Daryl would think." Carol jolted then, the name unexpected in her ears. She looked down at the blonde who smiled up at her, knowingly. "Why would Daryl care?" (Winner of "Best Nickname" in the 4theloveofCARYL Writing Contest. THANK YOU to everyone who voted. It is such an honor!)

Finding a rhythm was easier said than done.

It started w/ a supply run and a little stress relief. It grew into something more. This is where you figure out who your friends are. Friendships change more when Carol gets into the mix of things. She's just their kind of girl. This story contains slash, if it is not your thing, then just move along. Ch 1 is T, Chs 2 are M... well it all just gets dirtier as the story goes on.

Tumblr Prompt: It's Glenn and Maggie's wedding, but Daryl's eyes are on Carol all night.

NOW COMPLETE! Review PLEASE!

"I think you two aren't talking 'cause of Merle. 'Cause he doesn't want you to be friends with anybody but him." Carl explained. Daryl couldn't decide if he found what Carl had told him to be ridiculous and far-fetched or scarily accurate. "And Beth…she thinks it's 'cause you two are in love."

Starts during 'Hounded', after Daryl finds something of Carol's embedded in a walker's neck. This is my take on what should happen afterwards. Rated T for language.
