I'm baaaaack. Loved the S5E1 premiere, of course, and I started writing a one-shot inspired by THHRW (The Hug Heard 'Round the World"). A one-shot that is...no longer a one-shot. Some reunion thoughts and pre-ZA musings, and, of course, eventual Caryl. Rated T due to addressing domestic/child abuse and occasional swear word.

Christ, how bad did someone have to mess up that they forgot the god damned baby?

He wishes she'd hold on even tighter than that. Wishes he could feel her nails dig deep in his skin. That she'd leave behind evidence of her very life. Spoilers for 5x01. Caryl.

What does anyone see when staring at themselves in the mirror? Mostly, they see only what they've been looking for. Sometimes it takes another reflection to learn the truth. Unabashed Caryl.

He was wrapped up in a miracle, and he didn't care who saw. Spoilers for 5x01 "No Sanctuary".

Just a little filling in of the blanks. Spoilers for "No Sanctuary," The Walking Dead season five premiere episode. If you haven't seen the episode yet, you may want to hold off on this.

No one is quite sure how much time has passed since the fall of the prison. All they know is the reality of always moving on, always surviving, whatever cost it might bring. At least they mostly found each other, but for those they've lost along the way, there is a chasm that can barely be filled. Caryl story.

"Pretty hot," she mused with a teasing grin. Carol shielded her eyes and innocently surveyed the sun rising high overhead. She didn't miss, though, the way his face reddened just a little too much to blame on the heat. (S3 Caryl)

Inspired by the song "A New Life," from the musical of Jekyll&Hyde, sung by Linda Eder. Please listen to it as Molly, and try to guess where this story will go. Post HLV, Series 3 spoilers. Small multi-chapter.

The tug on his rib cage was firm – persistent - grating. It took everything he had not to stumble over to her. Knowing instinctively that the moment he got close, the moment he had her in his arms, everything would stop. Everything would make sense again. Everything would be different - better. But he didn't. He couldn't.

Season 4 AU in which Daryl catches the virus plaguing the prison community and Carol takes care of him through those dark days.

What could mundanely go wrong, when living a life outside? A humorous look at some of the perils found on the road. Complete.

Inspired by the preview for Season 4. Love all of the possibilities with the expansion of the core group. Daryl and Carol have always had something special, inching their way towards something more than friendship. Can anything (or anyone) delay - or interrupt - that journey? Read to find out...I missed writing Caryl fic!

(Not currently being updated, but may be finished at some point.) ExA, sequel to Brisingr. Rated T for possible language and mature scenes in later chapters, although they are not guaranteed to exist. I haven't decided yet.

200 years after Eragon's departure, Alagaesia has encountered a new enemy. Its prosperity attracts foreign warriors, and gives him the perfect reason to return home. E/A Book V
