Beth was dead. It had all been a dream. Daryl Dixon was done. This story follows the events of The Walking Dead Season 5 Midseason finale, and is an alternate tragic ending to the Beth and Daryl fan fiction "I Will Follow You Into the Dark". ("I Will Follow You Into the Dark" is going to continue though as if Beth had never died and this ending was never written.)

My name is Gunner. I am a juvenile delinquent, a thief. But ever since the Apocalypse, I was given a chance to rewrite my destiny. Now I'm part of The Zombie Killers, a small group of boys who go adventuring out for a safe haven and saving innocent lives on the way. Remember me for not who I am, but what I am doing now. We have to be strong, and never should we be afraid.

Si es que ese "lugar mejor" existía, deseaba poder llegar cuanto antes a él. Mientras tanto, mientras todavía tuviera que seguir pisando ese jodido suelo infestado, ya no cargaría nada dentro de los bolsillos de sus pantalones desgastados, ahora todo lo que llevaría serían sus recuerdos, porque, después de todo… Ellos irían con él a todos lados.

There is a fun writing blog (moonshine musings) on tumblr where submissions of short fics of journal entries written by Beth are accepted by anyone who wants to do it. This is where I'm going to post the ones I submit. Each chapter will be a different oneshot. Ratings may vary, so T to be safe. Bethyl.

Carol is lost in the Tombs and listens to the search going on outside the cell she is hidden away in.

This is the story of Daryl Dixon and his daughter, Anna who are trying to survive in the apocalypse.

[AU] Daryl's feeling a little bold one night; a little lonely the next the morning.

Will Dixon proposes a deal that will save the farm. Hershel is drunk and desperate enough to take it. [arranged marriage au]

Honestly, she wasn't even sure why she was surprised. Because, quite frankly, Daryl just wouldn't be who he was without having extraordinarily awful timing.

She's just a little girl! Yeah well this little girl's got a bow and arrow. She's so tiny! Doesn't mean she doesn't know how to bring you to your knees. She needs to be protected! She's a Dixon, enough said. If there's one thing you need to know about Sunny Rae Dixon, it's that she is her Daddy's daughter.

Short story featuring Ada as we know her from Servitude, having met Merle under different circumstances. He won't leave her alone; she can't get it through his thick head to stay away from her, and they both just keep messing things up. Merle/OC.

Carol gives Daryl an early Christmas present. Rated M for sexual situations.

I was SUPER pissed off by the ending of Coda, okay? Killing Beth, a character who had the potential to fill in the comic-Andrea role in the show, and who Daryl needs most in the world? Killing Dawn, a perfect female villain for the show? Beth STUPIDLY trying to kill Dawn with SCISSORS? Just... UGH. So, I'm writing what I would have done if I had my say. I hope you enjoy my rage.

Some decisions are easy: Should I have pizza for lunch or pasta? Some decisions are difficult: What job do I want to have? Should I study or go on a gap year? And some decisions... Some decisions you desperately wish you'll never have to make.

This time, they get to say goodbye. Major spoilers for MSF. Coda rewrite/slight AU.

It was all about the words as Beth struggled to regain her ability to speak and sing after being wounded by Dawn. Daryl took a deep breath, but his anxiety was soon forgotten in the glow of Beth Greene's slightly crooked but radiant smile. She patted the seat next to her needing no words to convey her meaning. She wrapped her arms around him, her head on his shoulder. BETHYL

Straight-up Caryl fluff, one shot. Set after Grady, Daryl wants to do laundry, Carol wants to tease him.

And if they weren't in front of everyone he would kiss her. He's never letting her go of Carol Peletier again.

Separated from his group, Carl Grimes comes upon a little town. Now, even with sanctuary, will Carl be able to survive long enough to find his group or will he die trying?

(Revised) My version of what should have happened on the mid-season finale of season 5. The group blows up the hospital and Beth is notice to be missing. But miracles can happen.

Oneshot written -before- Coda aired. Following the escape from Grady Memorial, Beth is alive. Carol is hurt. The van-ride is bumpy. [Caryl]

Beth is a senior in high school and she's pretty-bad ass. She's been labeled a bad girl by everyone in town for getting into fights and driving a motorcycle. One day in school, she meets the new kid named Daryl and...as it turns out he's a bad boy and the two click instantly. Bethyl au.

And maybe then you'll hear the words I've been singing. Funny when you're dead how people start listening.

Celebrity status doesn't matter anymore during the apocalypse. No one to give her special treatment. Someone willing to stick their neck out for her or care. Everyone has someone else that is more important. That is until Eleanor Bristow, a actress, meets Rick Grimes, a post-apocalyptic cop, in Atlanta. Normalcy was never easy with her but he seems to make it easy. Rick/OC

"Do you think it's December now?" Snow fell in flakes of cold clusters outside the frosted window. It's freezing, it's cold, and Faye feels like the group's lacking a certain... festive quality. "I think it's December now." A Christmas Special set in the world of Not So Alone between S2/S3. A day late, but happy holidays!
