Caryl AU. The government is working to round up the wilds that won't assimilate. In prison they'll be "tamed," one way or another.

Post-6.12. Caryl. The scene I would have like to see following Carol kissing Tobin. My first fanfic. M for language, concepts, smut later. Updating genre from "Angst" to "Hurt/Comfort" which seems more appropriate.
