Daryl was nobody, he was merely Merle's shadow. After almost getting killed, he knows things have to change, but he doesn't know if he has the ability to do it. Sam was just getting her life back on track, she didn't need a man in her life right now, but sometimes life has a funny way of showing you what you actually do need after all. Daryl/OC, AU, M for language, eventual smut
