A collection of drabbles, one-shots and ficlets based on prompts from Tumblr. The Walking Dead and Daryl and Carol. High rating because I don't know what will come from chapter to chapter. /Fic previously abandoned in 2014 ish. Revived:Jan 2018/

She didn't know about his life before all this and he didn't know about hers, they never spoke about it, they didn't need to. They didn't need to know to understand.

Broken, scarred and bound to each other, Daryl and Carol have not only survived in this world where the dead walk and feed on the living but they have thrived. Yes, they have had their losses, the ghost of Sophia never far behind them, but they've learned to keep hold of what they do have. Each other and the group, but will outside forces tear them apart in the end?

Daryl is a lot of things, but one thing he isn't is a deal breaker. What harm could a few deals do during a zombie apocalypse? Rated T for Daryl's colorful language.

Carol's life is already bad enough with the loss of her daughter. The only person she actually feels close to treats her like shit. Making her life now feel like a living Hell. AN:This is a Fanfic I had posted at a point. I didn't get on for a bit, so I gave up on it. But then I found chapter one. I suddenly got back into it.

Caryl AU. Oneshot. She says everything that he wants to say, but she always says it better. It's impossible to imagine that he could say a single thing that she wanted to hear, but she's willing to give him a chance. Carol/Daryl

When Daryl left that morning everyone expected him to come back with supper and baby formula, but that wasn't all he found. This discovery is going to test his mind, his strength and his beliefs. With all his attention focused elsewhere, what will happen to his budding relationship with Carol and his rapidly developing friendships with the rest of the group? Caryl.

A Caryl fic : ) Get inside Daryl and Carol's heads as they struggle to figure out what they mean to each other. Rated M for language, scenes of abuse, violent imagery, adult situations and sexual tension that will MELT YOUR BRAIN!

"The gravity of the situation finally hit Carol – They had survived, and most likely a few others did too, but they were all separated now, with no way to contact each other, and no plan in place on where to meet back up. " - takes place after 213 "beside the dying Fire", my take on if the group never reconnected after they left the farm. Will be CARYL, rated M for future ch's

If tomorrow never came, at least they would have this.

Sequel to "The Lumberjack Fantasy"...For my pleasure and yours, please read and review! Rated M for language, strong sexual content, drugs and alcohol..you know, the good stuff :p

Sequel-ish...? Of Complications. We'll see where it goes. :) If you haven't read that one, you can still easily read this one, so its also a standalone if need be. OC/Daryl This may get a bit dark.

Daryl is running himself down, thinking Carol is with his brother now. Merle doesn't know Carol and Daryl both are in love with each other when he try's to move in on Carol. Carol Doesn't know that either of the Dixon's like her. Total Caryl lover with Merle/Daryl brother relationship, and Rick/Daryl friendship thrown in. Rated T for cussing

She had outlived all the other women from the original Atlanta group. She was the last one standing. Who could have seen that? Collection of drabbles, set after season 3. Disclaimer: The Walking Dead belong to Robert Kirkman and AMC. No copyright infringement intended. Chapter 51: Under Attack

Carol's waiting for their return from Woodbury, but what happens when not all of them make it back? This time she'll come along to make sure to get someone out. winner of best angst scene at www.4theloveof caryl. !

During a walker apocalypse there are few happy times and even fewer people to look to. However, Daryl and Carol seemed to have found themselves with both things. They look to each other for comfort, trust, and loyalty. Maybe even something a bit more than friendship could spark, however. Caryl/Darol Rating T for Dixon-tongue. Please enjoy and review. I accept all critique and ideas

Only at the end of the world with Daryl realise he's fallen in love. Rated T as the story will progress.

This is a continuation of the Unexpected Allies Merle and Sophia story with a romantic focus on Daryl and Carol, and how Merle and Sophia might help those two crazy "kids" finally get over their respective issues and get together and fall in love. I've rated it T, but I want to mention that there ARE swears in this story. If you feel an M rating is more appropriate, please say so.

Pre first-half S3 finale. "Some people see scars, & it is wounding they remember. To me they are proof of the fact that there is healing." The lives they used to live were gone. But how much of who they used to be had been swept away too? A story of two damaged souls discovering going forwards means going back & facing the things that once held you. Rated for language/adult themes.

The real problem was that, when Carol had said she wanted a man of honor, he had the distinct impression that she was talking about him.

Aching bones, gunfire, shouts, screams, groans. She couldn't hear a thing, all she could hear was the sound of steel falling like the gates of hell opining. And like that, she was running through the gunfire, bullets biting into her skin, if only to be with the man she loved. ((Tumblr Prompt gone awry. For Kathleensmiles)

Carol discovers that their mutually beneficial physical relationship may have some strings attached after all.

A Marine comes across two half-dead men in the middle of the woods and suddenly finds himself in the middle of a war he didn't know was being waged just outside his front door. In the midst of it a tale that contains pretty white river flowers and a lost little girl. Rated for language and perhaps more. Set after the Dixon Brothers tangle with the Governor.

The world is over. His brother is gone. His options are slim. And then out of the fog appears something he doesn't even recognize. He doesn't see it at first for what it really is. Hope.

Caryl bits from my notebook - chapters are individual drabbles, not meant to represent a whole - not everything will be M, but rating it that way because some may be (The Walking Dead and identifiable characters are not mine - no infringement is intended or implied) - quality improves as chapters go on - you may want to start with the most recently published

Set when they find Sophia in the barn. What if Carol's reaction was different that day? what if she didn't go to the RV? can Daryl reach her? and will the lose of Sophia bring them together or pull them apart?

Daryl comes back to the group. Trying to balance his brother's presence and his own mixed feelings, things are not as easy as he expected. Warning: 3x10 spoilers. Disclaimer: I don't own the Walking Dead, they belong to Robert Kirkman and AMC. No copyright infringement is intended.

In this world, you can't help but change. But what happens when Daryl finds that Carol is changing, and not for the better. Will it bring them together or tear them apart?

A Caryl Fanfic, What if their bond started in Alanta?- Loosley based on the show. Developing a Mother/Son relationship between Carl and Carol.

Daryl lost his brother, and Carol lost her daughter. Both are vulnerables , and still cannot express everything they feel for each other. Would it be love or just a strong friendship? They need to find out, because despite all sentimentality, time is very precious to each of them, who are fighting for their lives.

The evolution of Merle and Beth's romance. I do not own anything related to Walking Dead or Celtic Woman. New post: I refuse to stop developing Merle just because (SPOILER SPOILER) on the show. I guess this will be an Alternate Universe story now :)

Daryl tries to come to terms with the loss of his brother and, of course, it is a journey he strongly believes he should walk alone. But when she finds him there, next to her own grave, her kindness guides him out of the dark. Sometimes, in mourning, we see things in a different light. It doesn't have to be understood right away to be real.

The group is held captive by a team of researchers hoping to acquire information on how they have survived for so long. After being uncooperative with the researcher, Daryl is given a drug which forces him to talk. This drug is still in effect when he is returned to the cell he unknowingly shares with Carol. Based on a prompt.

With the loss of her daughter, Carol finds herself questioning her role in the group, her identity, and her unique connection with Daryl. Daryl just wishes things were simpler. Picks up right after "Beside the Dying Fire." Caryl, M.

"Just a flat," she explained quietly. He was almost six feet tall, ruggedly handsome and wore a pair of holey, faded jeans. A sleeveless biker jacket lay over a dirty white t-shirt, giving her an enviable view of muscular arms and a well-defined chest. Extending a dirty, scraped up hand, he said, "I'm Daryl."

You cant keep Secrets now, it is too hard. Every secret will soon make it to the surface. Carol and Daryl keep their relationship secret. A series of linked one-shots on how each member of team prison finds out about CARYL. Chapter 7- Hershel.

A set of incoherent chapters done as requests for some very lovely people. Spoilers up to 03.16 within, and rated T for language. Caryl for the most part.

After the fall of the prison, Daryl and Carol have found happiness together. But what happens when a new member of the group sets her eyes on Daryl?

At the request of CheapTrixie - another TWD Caryl fic. A "missing moments" fic from S3E10 onward. Will be as in-canon as possible through the finale... Carol/Daryl rotating POV, but lots of other character development as well.

This is a Caryl one-shot formerly published as 'Carol and Daryl Connect'. I've gotten requests to weave the Caryl story in with my existing Meth story (Merle and Beth Connect) and I can't use this one-shot in it because the background is different. Thanks for your patience!

Sequel to "Before The War". Set during and after the Prison vs Woodbury war. "No one touched his woman." Caryl. Rated T for Dixon mouth and suggestive themes.

After an accident inside the prison Carol loses her memory and forgets everything including her name, her past, the apocalypse, or her friendship with Daryl. Carol for an unknown reason is extremely drawn to Daryl out of everyone else. As the two spend more time together Carol finds herself falling for him. Contains strong language and mature scenes (Caryl story)

One-shot. Daryl struggles with some news Carol tell's him and almost loses more than he thought he had. { Sorry sucky sum R&R Please..}

This involves Daryl escaping from Woodbury and running back to the prison. There's also parts from Carol's POV back at the prison. I only wish I owned The Walking Dead!

In a world of perpetual sorrow and suffering, happiness is a luxury, and the simple word 'love' means more than ever before. A series of short Caryl drabbles to keep my fingers busy and imagination active. Only read if you're all caught up on the series.

Carol has something to tell Daryl. But how will he take the news? Fear keeps her unsure. But it might just take some faith in the man she loves. Serious Caryl.

It's strange how the world works. Faith Carter is determined to get two obvious lovers together. Can she succeed? We'll have to see... Caryl story! T for Dixon mouth.

With it being the end of the world and all, it wasn't exactly a great place to find love. But no one said it was impossible..

Two words: strip poker! new title...new rating...

Merle knows those signs, he's seen their Daddy push Daryl to that point before. - Panic/Hyperventilating. Written for TWD kinkmeme, WIP

The broken are drawn to the broken. At least that's what they all say... A Caryl fanfiction(: One of my very favorite pairings in The Walking Dead. It was originally a One-shot, but I continued it because people enjoyed it! If people continue to enjoy it, I'll continue to extend it(: ENJOY!

Daryl finds a traumatized girl and brings her back to camp. Everyone in the group welcomes her but Shane. (They are still at camp, and the main players in the original group are still alive). Note: this may seem to lack action the first few chapters. That will change, but some things need to be built up first. Reviews welcome, on overall content as well but esp. the writing itself.

A collection of TWD drabbles. Most involve either Carol, Daryl, or the pairing of Caryl.

Daryl: "Something inside me tied up with the thought of never seeing her again, and although I would never admit it to anyone, it made me fucking scared. Scared that I, after all I'd been through, could care so much for a person." - My first fanfic. Tell me what you think! :)

Daryl's begins to discover that he may just have some strong feelings towards a certain woman after a series of tragic and traumatic events.

I would like to thank obsessedwithstabler for letting me use a part of their story Love Bites in this FanFiction. I would also like to thank TWDluver for helping me write parts of the story. I am very exited and I hope y'all like it. It's a Caryl fanfinc, it is based on season three and the prison. Rating for sexual content, language, and violence.

"I think you two aren't talking 'cause of Merle. 'Cause he doesn't want you to be friends with anybody but him." Carl explained. Daryl couldn't decide if he found what Carl had told him to be ridiculous and far-fetched or scarily accurate. "And Beth…she thinks it's 'cause you two are in love."

To deal with frustrations, Daryl and Carol steal a moment and neither would regret what would happen next.

Daryl tells the group about who he liked through out his life. But who will be the special one Daryl has loved his whole life?

Set early season 2. Daryl sneaks out of camp for a quick hunt and much needed time away. While out he gets into a bit of trouble, and meets a young woman who is sure to make life interesting.

SPOILERS for 03x09: The Suicide King. Carol decides to move Daryl's things from the perch, trying to put everyone at ease after the shocking news of Merle's return. Only, she can't bring herself to feel that same ease, as she clings to the memory of him along with the few things he left behind. Credit to bullettimescully for the idea.

It happened in a flash. One minute they were safe, discussing how they were going to take down the Governor. And then next, she was gone. Taken. Lost. And he felt like somebody had torn him apart. He didn't know what to do, where to go, how to think. All he knew was that she had to be safe. That he had to get her back. Maryl.

In the aftermath of the Woodbury invasion, Daryl deals with his loss. And Carol is there for him, keeping her promise. Caryl.

Daryl finds a little girl out searching for supplies. Her name is Chloe. She's seven years old, but she's smart for her age. He decides to take her in. Though he's getting a bit annoyed with everyone trying to tell him how to do things. He knows what he's doing.. ain't he?

What happens when a storm becomes too dangerous? A healer comes and soothes it destructible ways, calming it.

I love reviews and help with my grammar! Thank you :)

Takes place after the events of my Daryl and Carol one shot "Light To Dark". With the pressure the group is under to stay alive - they find there are many discoveries about one another to be made, diamonds in the rough so to speak. I own no rights to TWD, comic book or television show.

My first fanfic... a story focusing on Daryl and Carol and how they grow and evolve within the context of themselves, their relationship, and the group. Other characters will be developed collaterally through what Daryl and Carol see, hear, and think.

Daryl and Carol... friendship, maybe more... This will probably be a little short and fluffy and I don't really know where I'm going with it so I plan to just have some fun.

Sequel to 'Never Too Late', although it can probably be read on its own. This takes place in the eight months between seasons 2 and 3. "It was day four after leaving the farm. Day four of running like rabbits, scurrying every which way, no clear direction in mind other than 'away'. Away from the nightmare that had been their last night on the farm."

Tiny moment I wrote for Tumblr. Carol and Daryl meet with a fence between them.

Together they'd get through this. They had each other, and as it turns out, that was all they needed. now updated with ch 14 and 15.

**RATED M, now! My take on Season 3, set right after Beside the Dying Fire. IC/ Some OOC -Caryl mostly. Just my take on what I think should happen between the two this coming season. All other characters included of course!

Quite simply: Carol prepares to move on. A post-2x07 alternate canon series picking up not long after the events of the episode, but no real timeline is established. Because I needed to write something inspiring. 21/? Uploaded.

"Carol stared at the wall. She was lying on her side in an unfamiliar bed—a stranger's bed, abandoned until she'd taken it up the night before. It rested in an abandoned room. An abandoned house. A nameless town." When the group spends the winter in Daryl's hometown, Carol finds herself joining him in a dangerous journey through his past.

Set 1x3. What if Ed didn't die at the end of this episode? How would this effect things between Daryl and Carol? Would Carol still stay meek and quiet? Or would she finally stand up to Ed? This is my take on things. Let me know what you think. Re-vamped and edited.

Daryl slowly saw a change in Carol that mirrored the changes in himself. Where their predicament would take them you can only find out by reading on. Takes place directly after episode 213, Beside The Dying Fire. I own no rights to TWD, comic or show.

"What you want Daryl?" She asked quietly, not facing him. Daryl's heart pounded in his chest. "You." He breathed. Decided to keep it a oneshot. Total Caryl, will probrably rewrite later.

She would make him tell her to get lost if that's what he wanted. He didn't want her to opt out. He didn't trust anyone else to make sure she didn't.

Set end of 2x13 Beside the dying fire - Daryl & Carol face an unclear future with the farm lost they try to buid a life & relationship but with every high there is always a low. When things hit breaking point will they pulling together or tair apart.

My first Walking Dead fan fiction story. It centers on Daryl and Carol's budding relationship. An afternoon baseball game triggers some game playing, some discussion about why we play games, and what happens when we stop. Mature Rating.
