Melissa Alexanderhide bio
 Author has written 16 stories for Walking Dead, and Game of Thrones. Hi everyone! I am Melissa, 34 years young and passionate about writing since I was a little girl. I live in NE PA with my beautiful and very challenging family, and love to use my free time (albeit very little) to unwind and lose myself in reading and writing fiction. A little bit about my work: From the Ashes was actually my first shot at Fanfiction (and truthfully, I didn't even know what ff was until Bethyl ...yeah, I live under a rock). After playing with a head canon with my very dear friend (and editor) Ben, FTA was born. It was only supposed to be a one-shot, but it took on a life of its own and evolved into the multi-chapter story you're currently reading (or have already read). From the Embers is my very first take on a one-shot, and is a follow-up to From the Ashes. The Way Forward is my newest Bethyl baby, and me taking a stab at how Beth and Daryl's relationship would have evolved before the prison fell (if it falls at all - not sure yet), and I'm having a particularly wonderful time torturing everyone with this sloooooow burn. I also have a few more one-shots in the works that I'm toying with ... What's on the horizon? Oh ...I think I smell a historical western Bethyl story (I don't know why, but I'm DYING to do this - and I LOVE writing historical romance)!! Those of you that have been following me from the beginning ...thank you for putting up with the occasional hiatus. Peace and love (and Bethyl) always, Shameless plug: Follow me on tumblr kitten1618x Shameless friend plug: if you aren't reading Fall Right In by Abelina, or really ANYTHING by dynamicsymmetry, you are only hurting yourself! |

Feral by silvergryphon06 reviews
That gunshot left her with more than one scar. Wounded and wary, Beth looks at the world with new eyes. The girl she was and the woman she's become are at odds. Her instincts are telling her a lot of things. What they're saying the loudest is that Daryl is the only one who can understand her pain. And that he might be the only thing that can help her heal.

Fall Right In by Abelina reviews
If Beth hadn't interrupted him when she did, calling him back with the melody of her voice, he might've done something dumb like opening the door for a doomed dog and maybe dooming them both while he was at it. Beth and Daryl escape the funeral home together. An Alone-divergence Bethyl story.

And Away we go by TWD withdrawl reviews
No longer a series, this is a reboot of my story starting at the beginning, the very beginning. It is not the story of how Beth and Daryl get together, but how they get it back after a two month separation leaves them both changed.

I'll wait here, then by early-recoil reviews
For the briefest of moments the world stopped, even if it didn't know it. In that short and impossible moment in time, in a hospital corridor in Atlanta, those who witnessed the tragety knew it. They felt it as the echo of the gunshot rippled through each of them individually. *Dedicated to the Beth Greene/Bethyl fans. This is my farewell to the blue eyed songbird.* Oneshot.
