I'll Be Yours For a Song by dynamicsymmetry reviews
In a small town in which he doesn't expect to stay long, Daryl Dixon comes upon a girl walking by the side of the road at two in the morning, soaked to the skin. He could offer to drive her home. But he very much wants to not seem like a creep. He also doesn't want to just leave her there. He has no idea what he's getting into. - Bethyl AU: no zombies, no apocalypse of any kind.

In The Pines by Rhanon Brodie reviews
"How long was I gone?" Daryl drew up short, startled, though he tried to hide it. Beth had beaten him to breaking the silence, but there had been no build up to her question. "One hundred and sixty-seven days," he replied, not missing a beat. "And sometimes I still think I'm dreaming when I see you. See A/N For warnings.

Surviving The Fall by BustersJezebel reviews
Sequel to Young Reggie. Set post movie. Mac survived the fall. Now he needs to get Reggie and deal with Devon and Walter. If you've seen Red Canyon you need no further warning. If you haven't, I sincerely hope you have a strong stomach because this story contains explicit violence and sexual situations, not all of them consensual. Heed this warning.

Boots and Hearts by Rhanon Brodie reviews
"Trapped there in a trunk with Daryl Dixon, I suddenly understood the closeness that Maggie craved from Glenn. I'd never felt it with Jimmy, or Zach, and I'd been resigned to the notion that I would probably never get to feel this way about someone." BETHYL Rated M overall; chapter one is probably 'T'.

'As I whisper in your ear… I wanna f*ing tear you apart…' Sometimes hunting isn't enough for him to blow off steam. That's where she comes in. Rated hard M for smut and Dixon-y language. Based on an ancient prompt from siarh.

Young Reggie by BustersJezebel reviews
Sequel to Young Mac. Reggie, before the movie, before the flashbacks. Please read the A/N in chapter one for details. As usual this story contains EXTREME adult references written in detail.

Work Song reviews
AU. Beth is a new hire at the bar Daryl frequents. Drugs, alcohol, drama, and angst...of course there's angst. This accidentally turned into a slow burner despite my best intentions. Rated M for reasons. Naked ones.

I See Fire reviews
Separated from everyone else, Beth and Daryl look for comfort in each other. Fully guilty pleasure Bethyl one-shot, expanded but still shameless. M for a reason.
