It's not that he doesn't trust her to keep watch, he just knows he won't be able to sleep. So why not take watch and let her sleep?

How do you find the will to try and start over again and again? Carol struggles to find strength in the many challenges of her life. Parallel stories of her life with Ed and her life after the turn. Originally posted on Nine Lives. Contains some scenes of abuse. Feedback is appreciated.

Bethyl Au Merle got a court order to attend A. A. meetings, so to avoid his brother from getting jail time Daryl attends the meetings with him. He meets a beautiful blonde there with her father, and has a whole new reason to go.

AU where Beth is not killed! Beth is not afraid to stand up for herself, but what will that new found courage cost her? Adventure! Romance! Eventual Beth/Daryl and Rick/Michonne Update: I fixed up chapter 1 a bit.

Daryl's life is great. He had never known such happiness. He got out of Merle's shadow and is finally living for himself. Then the world ends and everything that Daryl loved got torn away from him. Will he find his family again and get that happiness he once had? Or will he live the rest of this hell alone? Daryl and Beth implied relationship. AU ZA. T for now.

The world didn't end, it just hit a bump. With ash raining from the sky and the harvest ruined, everyone's in for a hard winter. The Greene farm doesn't have much left for Beth other than an empty belly. In a city painted in shades of gray, Daryl Dixon takes what work he can get. He's just lucky he isn't starving...but now it's getting colder. Bethyl AU no ZA.

Beth & Daryl have been on their own for awhile now, looking for other survivors from the prison. As they continue to survive, they grow closer together. Never did Beth ever think she'd start to fall for him. Together, they fight to find their friends, fight to survive the walkers, and fight their growing attraction to each other [alternate Season 4 storyline]

..Daryl/Beth.. A deleted scene from "House Call". Dale's POV.

"Beth!" He called again. There was rustling in the bushes and Daryl turned to aim his crossbow at it, finger finding the trigger. One heartbeat later and the moonlight caught on blonde hair as Beth stumbled into view. He dropped the bow to his side as relief washed over him... Daryl and Beth's story continued as if she was never taken by Grady Memorial Hospital.

In which Rick and Michonne are both highly trained assassins. And Rick is tasked with an impossible assignment: to take down the woman he loves. When he's forced to go through with the mission things don't necessarily go as planned. AU.

tragedy blinds her, and she (disastrously) tries to make him her home. -–—Daryl&OC

Beth and Daryl find themselves alone in the woods and take the chance to get to know each other.

OC used, focuses mainly on her and Merle, then her and Daryl. Told in past tense. Different pairings. Goes through whole series. Maybe spoilers, read with caution.

The emotional binding and acceptance of two abused souls.

What happens when Daryl finds out Rick banished Carol?

After they flee the farm Daryl finally understands some of Carols behavior, but it just makes him want her even more.

Elly was Daryl's niece and she was hurt. Beth was a doctor. Daryl meeting her in a situation like this make him fall for her?

Shane meant to kill Rick. He had every intention to. But when he falters at the last minute and Rick stabs him anyways, Shane ends up stumbling bloody through the woods, desperate for help. Shane/OC (Prompt fill for sweetkiwi604!)

This follows different survivors not the walking dead survivors. Thank you for reading this short line.

He'll die for her. He'll do any goddamned thing she asks.

AU. A Daryl no le gustaba rescatar princesas en apuros, y menos las noches de tormenta. Pero Beth no era una princesa...aunque si estaba en apuros. Lo demás, fue simplemente anecdótico.

Maybe he was dreaming. Maybe he was still in the woods, passed out under a tree, wounded and dying because there just ain't no other way to explain how this tiny blonde woman is in his apartment, helping him drag Merle's drunk ass to his room. [AU/NO ZA]

She saved him, but he couldn't do the same for her. My take on Daryl's thoughts on the most heartbreaking moment in TWD so far. Bethyl **Note: There is a song that matches up with this. Please take a listen :)**

Daryl Dixon is one of the best hired killers there is. Ed hires him to get rid of Carol. One problem. Mr. Dixon falls head over heels for the quiet, silver-haired woman and realizes he may not be the monster he thinks he is.

Ariana and her brother Kael can take care of themselves just fine, thank you very much. At least, until something happens that threatens to end their fragile existence. The siblings flee one group just to run into another. Will these new people accept them, or shun them? Sometimes, a little luck is all that's needed to turn a tragedy into a romance. Please read & review!
