He has to leave her body behind when the walkers come. He has just turned away and closed his eyes when hers snap open.

Post 5x08 "Coda". The group deals with the loss of Beth and Daryl is slowly distancing himself. Then one day, the strangest thing happens and his world is turned upside-down. [Coda fix-it fic. Bethyl slow burn. Rated M. Has been nominated for Moonshine Awards in a few categories, so thank you for that! :)]

He's trying things now. Different things, new things. Asking if he can. Asking if he can't. And he's growing in confidence too. Everyday. At first it's small changes. Confident kisses. A hand on her thigh, the small of her back. And then later those little things lead to bigger ones.

He was waiting for a comeback but instead of saying anything, the blonde just gave him a glare that he was pretty sure wouldn't even scare Bambi and as she turned back around, slamming the barn door once again, he decided to make it his personal mission to see that glare as much as possible. [AU/NO ZA]

"She was young: just turned eighteen, and she'd set him straight with a glare and a 'you don't know me' when he'd taken a look at her cowboy boots and summer dresses and tried to keep her away by claiming he didn't have time for little girls trying to use him to upset their Daddy. She'd been right; he hadn't known her back then." /./ Life is full of detours. AU. No ZA.

"How long was I gone?" Daryl drew up short, startled, though he tried to hide it. Beth had beaten him to breaking the silence, but there had been no build up to her question. "One hundred and sixty-seven days," he replied, not missing a beat. "And sometimes I still think I'm dreaming when I see you. See A/N For warnings.

Caroline Forbes was a woman with a secret. Running from a shattered past, she settles in New Orleans, determined to disappear in the crowds and chaos. When her path continually crosses with the Mikaelson family, her plans go awry. When she finds herself drawn to the charasmatic Klaus, she begins to wonder: How far can you run before the past catches up with you? AU/AH Klaroline

Rick felt his heart fill with joy. Maybe their love was filled with more than seven moments, but he held close the knowledge of the layers of their intimacy. He counted himself lucky to even be a witness to such events.

The Mikaelson family had a saying. "Love beyond family is the greatest weakness. We do not feel and we do not care." It was a code he lived by. So why did he save the girl? Klaus / Caroline.

"She's so handsy and uninhibited when she's drunk; so feisty, so unbearably sexy." Cristina and Owen post-9x11. No stupid loophole. M for lovin' and rude words.

Because she's not as strong as she pretends to be. Because he won, but it sure doesn't feel like it. Because no matter how simple the contract made it seem, selling out yourself or your girlfriend is a much bigger deal than either of them considered.

Series of one-shots about Cristina & Owen that take place after each episode of Season 7

Takes place a few weeks after 2x13. Chuck doesn't go to Thailand and Jack doesn't exist. “Glad to see you’re not dead” she bites out, because once she sees him and his haggard appearance, the desire to yell out him goes out the window. Rated T for now.

An evening alone sees Chuck, Blair, and Eric in an herbal haze-- new things are tried, some things broken, some things stolen... and summer is underway.
