Moving to Forks, spending the last eighteen months of her childhood with a father she barely knew ... it seemed like a good idea at the time. A Twilight mosaic, freely drawn from book and movie, wanders into AU as the story unfolds. Rated M for some intense, disturbing images. PM me if you have questions.

"Maybe this is a chance for us to run towards something, finally. Something that's ours." (Sequel to "She's Breathing", a post-Coda Fix-It fic.)

Daryl and Beth choose to winter in the house they find in season 4. Largely inspired by "Winter Song" by Sara Barielles and Ingrid Michaelson and the fact that I'm still mad Bethyl was taken from us nearly five years after the fact. Explores their developing relationship over the winter months spent in the house together. Read and Review, if you feel so inclined. [COMPLETE].

College AU. He's canon. She's something else entirely.

liquid black and breaking in / Orphic circles and inborn need / no walls / just windows / nothing but us / nothing but Grim / there's no comparison for this / but it feels just like a promise / don't wake / don't stop / don't fall asleep / don't forget / don't come back / this isn't a game / this is your soul / ask me if you're ready

They know who they are, both in life and in the playroom. They're comfortable, confident, and work seamlessly together in their scenes. It seems they've made a perfect match, until one of them turns out to be much more than the other was expecting. When the truth comes to light, will it be too much to bear? Or can they put it all aside to maintain the status quo? ExB/AH/OOC/BDSM

Edward wakes up on a beach, his memories foggy. Was there a plane crash? He finds Bella down the beach, but neither of them remember what happened. Then things start to get weird. Title updated. E/B. EPOV. A/H as far as I know.

As a woman alone in a world gone wild, Bella couldn't trust anyone. It had been two years since a deadly virus was released in all of the world's major cities. The population is decimated. Modern society is a thing of the past. The things we do to survive.

Hunted and alone, Bella takes fate into her own hands when she leaps from the cliffs in La Push. When Alice watches her fall, it sets in motion in a chain of events that brings a broken family to the brink of destruction. Faced with the consequences of their choices, the Cullens return to Forks to reclaim the daughter they left behind. New Moon AU, no wolves, canon pairings.

I was given the prompt. "Just play along... please" and this is what happened. It takes place at the prison. Lighthearted Bethyl. No angst unless an awkward Daryl and a sweet Beth make you anxious. Enjoy! The cover image is NOT mine. I just thought it was beautiful. ***Just realized a big chunk of dialogue was left out of chpt 4. It's fixed. Chpt 7 posted and this one is complete!

Edward's first taste of human blood was a gateway into darkness — and he never found his way out. When he stops a predator's attack in Port Angeles, he encounters a different kind of gateway. A mouthwateringly delicious one. Bella's very presence draws him toward the light. But her irresistible blood...and flesh...tempt him deeper into darkness. (My entry for the Thirst Contest)

The story of how one poorly-timed sneeze and a costume party prop almost killed Edward Cullen, a very innocent person who definitely did not deserve any of this magical curse nonsense, thanks. Previously part of the 2020 Thirst Contest and winner of The Howler Award and Validator Iambeagle's Pick.

Can a heart thrice broken bear the risk of making a new start? Vampire AU.

Beth Greene has reunited with her family in the ASZ, but that isn't a story she's willing to tell. Because to the new version of herself, it doesn't matter. Eventual Bethyl. Slow-ish burn. Action, drama, friendship, love, character studies! Supporting cast including our TWD faves & some brand new villains. Rated M - language, graphic violence, sexual situations, sexual assault

"I'm 18 now," Bella shouted. "I won't go to a birthday party at your house if I don't want to and I don't. I want to stay home and nothing you say is gonna change my mind." Edward never leaves. There is no New Moon. The brightness of the full moon quickly wanes and Edward and Bella have to face their age-old impasse again. Canon till N.M. Ch. 1. Canon pairings.

Strangers. But maybe they don't want to be... maybe they want to be more.

Bethyl. Songfic/Oneshot.

Under Construction.

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.

Working overnights isn't for everyone. It's not even really for the people who do it. Your life slips away, feels upside down and off kilter. Daryl doesn't mind, his life's always been like that.

ONE SHOT: After Beth manages to escape from Grady Memorial, she's captured by a very different enemy. Rick and the group find her month's later at Negan's compound during the siege. After bringing her back to Alexandria, Beth seeks comfort from the one person that can truly give her what she needs.

Everyone is born with a unique tattoo. Whenever they fall in love, no matter the circumstances, that person's tattoo appears somewhere on their body. It's not such an easy thing to wear your heart on your skin. After all, love comes as she pleases. Unrequited. Uninvited. Undeniable.

When Beth came back alive, everything pretty was worn out of her. But that doesn't mean she doesn't miss it. It doesn't mean she doesn't miss what she's lost. And it doesn't mean she doesn't want Daryl to help her find it again. Bethyl and prom dress and smut

Through an unexpected twist of fate, Bella gives Edward what he's been waiting for; something he's wanted for quite some time. However, under the circumstances, he's unsure whether to accept.

Daryl has always followed the road set out in front of him. But when Merle gets put in jail and there's no one to lead the way anymore, he finds himself adrift. He's got a job, and a place to live, but it's in a grocery store of all places, as he stands baffled by row after row of endless choices, that he meets someone who might just help him truly find his way.

On a return trip to Grady, Daryl and Aaron make a discovery Daryl never would have imagined and never would have wanted to: Beth survived. And doesn't believe she did. Of course Daryl believes he's the only one who can bring her back. And they can't go home until he does. - Bethyl, kinda; post-Coda. Much angst and other messed-up things.

Later, much later, they tell stories about the first night she came back to him. The question is which one is true. The other question is whether it matters. - Bethyl, many years after Beth finds her way to the ASZ.

In which Carlisle writes a textbook on vampirism, and Emmett immediately rewrites it. New chapter: The Gifted Vampire.

Beth and Daryl enjoy a moment of love and safety in the comfort of the funeral home. Warning: explicit content.

It's good to be back with Team Family, and Beth and Daryl know it's only a matter of time before their secret is out. They'd really like Maggie to get the hint though. (Yet another alternate timeline in which Beth and Daryl never got separated, only to reunite with Team Family at an undetermined future point where canon may or may not apply).

"What do we do? Where do we go? If a prison's not safe, where the hell is?" She asked, her voice growing a little softer the more she spoke. They would never make it far in this state, even she knew it. She shook her head, trying to bury all thoughts of everything but survival into a place to be dealt with later. "Daryl, what's the plan?" Ch 17 now up!

why would you believe in fairytales when your life was one? [ZA AU post Alone]

"Beth started to step forward, and without a second thought, he grabbed her arm and pulled her back." Daryl wasn't about to let her step into the line of fire, not when he just got her back. AU of mid-season finale and beyond.

Nashville AU: It's the same old song, with a new tune. [follow up to 'inside my head (there's a record that's playing) and 'we're along in our own world']

He doesn't fit in in Alexandria. Like the rest of them he's too wild, too feral for these nice folk with their nice houses. They're scared of him, scared of all of them. But it doesn't matter. Doesn't matter at all because there's only one world that needs to accept Daryl. Only one world that counts.

BETHYL. A set of FIVE short, introspective one shots leading up to a reunion. Different character perspectives on Bethyl. Rated M, because...Dixon mouth mostly.

A series of short scenes that are missing from the show. Think of them as 'deleted scenes' that show the early relationship of Beth and Daryl. I will try to keep this as canon as possible. Friendship and mild flirting for now. Rated for language, violence and adult themes, typical of the canon. Possible rating change later on.

He's got enough shit on his plate, alright. Including his genuine worry that her daddy, his friend, will somehow be able to see it in his face every time Daryl happens to be in the same room as his little girl. [A series of prompts focused on Daryl and Beth in various circumstances.]

BETHYL/DETH Season 4 AU. Daryl brings some books home from a run, causing a subtle shift in his relationship with Beth. "He didn't think on Beth. Tried not to... That was a fool thing to do, and Daryl Dixon wasn't a fool. Just a man trying to survive." Rated for language, eventual sexual situations. No longer a oneshot!

Bethyl. Prompt (from awolfcomeshome): "Beth decides it's Daryl's birthday and does something about it. Also, awkward Daryl is awkward. Place of event is the writers choice!" If you watch the show, you can read this.

A collection of Bethyl requests from tumblr. Ratings range from T to M. First Edition

Daryl Dixon looked at the white bandages that swathed the self inflicted wound on Beth's left wrist. He would never understand suicide. Life sometimes treated you like crap but you fought through it. Set season two while Beth is convalescing.

The prison has fallen, and Daryl's on the run with the only other survivor he'd seen. But now he's wondering if he's made a mistake. Because he's a Dixon, and Dixons always screw things up. Rated for language because you can't have Daryl without a few curse words.

A tiny part of Beth wants to stop, wants to sink to her knees and gather the bodies up in her arms and stay here, by the railroad tracks, until there's nothing left but sun bleached bones and wind torn scraps of clothes, but she knows Daryl won't let her. [50 sentences, one pairing. Daryl/Beth].

Scarecrows, devils, and the dead are the only things out and about this late at night, and what that says about Daryl Dixon – well, it's probably true. But what it says about the girl next to him... can't be further from the truth. Bethyl oneshot.

Zero days without an accident...and it's always the same thing he needs on nights like these. (Bethyl One-shot)

Edward owes Bella one, and he's a man determined to deliver – but as he quickly discovers, some debts are not easily repaid.

For years Bella has been building a garden inside herself, a dream world she'd love to open the gate to and walk right through. But she's trapped in the real world, and she knows that hope is nothing but fantasy and that friendships don't last. AH. Second season of our discontent entry and Judges' First place winner.

Daryl's gaze flicked upwards with muted interest when Carol, Beth, and Maggie snorted in laughter. Squinting over the banked fire for a few tenuous moments before he shuttered them again, returning to his inspection of his freshly oiled bow without comment. As if the frivolous day-dreaming of teenage girls was somehow beneath him.

When Emmett gets a second chance with the girl who ruled his high school dreams, he realizes getting into her bed is easy. Getting into her heart is another thing altogether.
