another brick and I'm in loveI love all of Beth's Idiosyncrasies and the way Rick and eventually Carl handle her. just wonderful lil bit of fluff!

Great story, i love it! is this the ending?

Oh my goodness, the fluff and the love and the feels! I can see why this is a favorite Brick story. As much as I'd love to say I hate you for making me cry with every one of your fics I won't, because I don't really. ;) With thousands of fics in this fandom, especially the ones that are set in the apocalypse, it's so easy to get an overlap with settings, themes, etc. Not that that's a bad thing, but it happens. You have a wonderful talent for coming up with the most unique settings, plots, and character dynamics (ex: Daryl and Merle being Beth's "big brothers" in this one). I really loved this Beth. Her little quirks and idiosyncrasies were wonderful, and I don't think they would have worked for any other character but her. Her amazing "sixth sense" and her "connection" with Daryl were also a nice little twist that definitely had their place in the story without overshadowing the love story or being over-the-top. It all fit so nicely! Question: was Daryl's Irish bride just a random choice, or was that a small nod to Daryl's alter ego, Murphy? Just wondering, I actually loved Katie. And thank you, thank you for not making Carl and unbearable spoiled brat! He was awesome!

I'm baaack! Oh, you're about to be in it all the way up to your shoulders, Rick. Just ask 1920s Merle. She's a wily little temptress I tell ya.

Awwww...so adorable and sweet. I might have bought a cruise on this ship! ;)

What a beautiful Christmas Day Rick and Beth had with their children, family and friends! They couldn't have asked for anything more! So happy for Carl and Melanie and for Merle and Carol. What a wonderful addition to add to Merle's and Carol's home. Daisy and Violet are mighty precious! Thank you for updating this! I love when you do that. It gives insight as to what is going on with our favorite couple. Fantastic job as always! :)

Seeing this lovely update brightened my day! and reading it just made me feel all warm and fuzzy inside to take a look in time into Rick and Beth's life. I cannot get enough of them as you know. Violet and Daisy are precious as is Carl and you can tell how proud Beth and Rick are of their kids and how much in love they are. Merry Christmas to you and your loved ones and thank you for the wonderful Christmas Gift xoxox

I LOVE BRICK CHRISTMAS CANDY!
They are just as sweet and loved up as ever!
They have beautiful girls!

I want this Christmas! So sweet, everybody together, sharing dinner that they all contribute to, only passing out homemade gifts. Love that the girls seem to be the best parts of them.
And all the relationships. Perfect!
Carl introducing his someone special, and they like her!
Merle and Carol's announcement about adopting a boy, great stuff.
Best part, Santa Merle! That's an image I'll never forget.
