My entry for kaycedilla2011's 'knight in shining armor' challenge. Puck uses his underhanded talents for more than just Quinn and the bake sale cupcakes. Rachel/Puck.

"We're the last of our people," Clarke utters without much emotion. After all their efforts, they failed; the story of Skai Kru would die with them. Bellamy finally looks up at her tone of voice and after a pause he says, slowly, "We don't have to be." (Post-Series Bellarke fic. Cover art by electricalice on tumblr.)

Maggie and Michonne have an unusual theory about men. Carol puts it to the test.

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!

My take on their second reunion, once Carol is out of that hospital. Set S5, speculation.

Her coat tails flapped in the breeze as her pace suddenly devolved, turning into a staggering half run as the material flared out behind her like a banner. It was the only sound in the encompassing quiet – adding harmony to the abyss as her pale throat worked around a sudden sob. - (TWD/Mist AU)

An AU from the beginning of "Inmates" featuring Daryl and Beth as they search for their family. Implied and eventual Caryl, absolutely no romance between Beth and Daryl. Complete. T for language and violence.

He had caught her staring at his lap during lunch. For as pleased as his lap had been, it was way off for her. She never let herself slip like that. Worse yet, if she was that far out of line with him, where might she go staring next, and who else's lap would be happy to see her?

"Daryl?" Her fingers reached thoughtlessly for the rounded firmness of his shoulder before she remembered and snatched them away. It wasn't like it used to be, and some cruel part of her wondered if it had ever really been anything at all. Still, he found her. He always did. Caryl, set two years after the events of 4.08.

A cute little Caryl one-shot set pre-mid season 4 break. Daryl is on Watch at the prison and Carol comes up with an interesting way to keep warm. Rated M.

Merle was dead, and Daryl was alone. Dark fic - rating for adult themes and language.

This starts as an alternate version of the flirting-on-the-bus scene from 3x01. Daryl decides to get even. Rating for potty mouth and sexy adult themes.

Carol has trouble coping with what she's done. This is a dark fic written after 4x05 and before 4x08, so it's AU now, but spoilers up until Internment.

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

Reunited at the prison, Daryl, Carol, and Merle search for their footing on unfamiliar ground. Inspired by a season three deleted scene with Caryl undertones throughout.

She had hung her happiness on someone else, and she realized that she couldn't ever truly be whole until they resolved the unanswered question.

A slice of life, time frame indeterminate, but probably AU or post-4x08 and some future reunion. Written because all the mutual self-denial sometimes gets on my nerves. May be part of something larger in the future, but for now...

He didn't know much about going down on women, besides that he loved it. - takes place between end of S3 and start of S4

Post-Indifference. Caryl-y.

Daryl is set to leave again with Michonne on their hunt for the Governor. One shot set two months after S3 "Welcome to the Tombs." Caryl fix!

Short story set in early Season 4. Carol and Daryl's first kiss.

Short one shot inspired by questions raised by the Season 4 premiere; my answer to what exactly is going on with Carol and Daryl. Very Caryl.

Carol is taken prisoner by the Governor and questioned about where the prison is. But she'll never give up her family. She'll die before she gives up the one she loves. Caryl

Carol uses her skills as a seamstress to make a gift for Daryl as the Georgia Fall turns to winter. My very Caryl explanation for the origin of the leather sleeved coat Daryl first wears in the season 3 episode "Arrow in the Doorpost." Dedicated to TWD costume designer Eulyn C. Womble.

Run. All they had done for the last few weeks was run from the Governor. Now they were exhausted and in desperate need of a place to hide for the night. What will happen when the group seek sanctuary in an abandoned hotel? Caution: SMUT WARNING for Chapter 2. 4theloveofcaryl Hotel Picture Prompt Contest Winner: BEST OVERALL & BEST OF CONTEST.

USSCaryl fanfic challenge, prompt 5: caught in the rain trope. Daryl under a tree in the rain. Pretty much.

He knew the way the story was supposed to go. Alive or dead, she was supposed to be behind that door. He'd read the ending a thousand times. He knew it by heart, every subtle emotion, every sullied second of it.

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!

Carol's been staring at Daryl lately, and he aims to find out why.

Choices mean so much more in a world where survival hangs by a thread. With the threat of the Governor looming over the prison survivors, Beth makes the choice she must to save her family, while Merle makes the choice he must to save himself. Merle/Beth (or Meth, if you prefer) angst with a bit of smut. Note the rating and don't read if the age gap makes it an issue for you.

Sometimes the past can take you back, sometimes it can push you forward. A mult-chap. Rated M for language and sex

Ed Pelletier loses everything he owns in a series of weekend poker games with a pair of notorious brothers. Of course, a scuz like Ed thinks he owns his wife and child. A little tongue-in-cheek, and AU to the X-treme, but the zombies will walk eventually for some added fun.

After the group is forced to head west to escape the Governor and his men, Daryl is separated from the rest and stranded in the desert. Now, he must fight to survive and make his way back to his family, and maybe get some help from a few friends along the way. Daryl-centric with everybody else having a role to play. COMPLETE.

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.

Post 3x15 This Sorrowful Life. Carol anxiously awaits Daryl's return to the prison, while thinking back on how things have changed over the past year, some for the better, others for the worse. Rated M for future language and potential adult situations. It is a Caryl fic, after all.

Sequel to 'This May Be Presumptuous'. Puck gets out of Juvie and realizes that unless he does something to change his life he'll end up back there again. Can he change his ways? And will the girl he's always loved ever return his feelings? Both Rachel & Puck POV. M for eventual lemons & Puck's mouth.

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.

Merle's trying hard to fit in at the prison with Team Grimes but it ain't easy. Carol decides to give him a helping hand. In a manner of speaking. Rated T for themes and Dixon-mouth. Later chapters M.

Carol finds a shoebox of things in the watchtower, and they can only be Daryl's. [Tumblr Prompt for the USS Caryl. Lots of Caryl, and frivolity! Even a little Maryl]

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.

With Merles direction, Daryl finds himself in an uncomfortable position trying to save Carols life.

Sophia didn't survive the attack at the quarry, and Carol must decide if there is anything left for her in a world gone mad.

When all of Rick's plans fail and the prison is lost, the group is separated. Before they can reconnect at their new camp, Daryl decides it's time for Plan "D". But can Carol handle it and is Daryl up to the task of charming this damaged woman in a broken world? Rated T for some Dixon language, but rating may change to M in later chapters.

Everywhere he turned, there she was smiling at him and offering to keep him company. Following him around like a lost puppy. Sure, she was pretty and young, but she wasn't his type. Hell, he didn't even know if he had a type. All he knew that he wasn't interested. Maybe Carol would know how to help him get rid of her.

Merle and Carol have been living on their own for some time now, learning to care for each other, learning to be with each other. And this is one burn that Merle isn't ashamed to bare. Marol

Caryl. This story takes place between the final encounter between Merle and Daryl in S3/E15 and the lingering handhold in S3/E16. Rating M for language. (The Walking Dead and identifiable characters, places, and events are not mine - no infringement is intended or implied)

What if Carol took Rick's invitation for people to leave if they didn't like his leadership? And Daryl just couldn't let her go alone...

He didn't want comfort, and he didn't want to be alone. He knew what he needed, and he hoped he wouldn't regret it all by morning. Caryl oneshot; prompt-response, adult content warning.

Carol and Daryl struggle to find each other in the immediate aftermath of the Governor's attack on the prison. A speculative rather than spoilery, somewhat fluffy one-shot.

Two damaged souls gravitating to one another. Daryl and Carol's first time.

Post "Arrow on the Doorpost." Daryl watches the group members' reactions, then has one of his own to Carol.

One shot Caryl smut. Daryl and Carol make the most of their time together before the war with Woodbury begins. RAted: MA (for explicit sex)

Tomorrow they would fight. Tomorrow they could die. And she may never get another chance to show him how much he means to her. Post-3x13 Caryl oneshot. Adult-content warning.

She savored the first few sips as she reacquainted herself with the warm, full bodied tang of Wild Turkey. Rolling the flavor on her tongue before swallowing as she let her body do the rest, closing her eyes in pleasure as the potent liquor trickled down her throat like molasses. …It really had been a long time.

In our darkest hours... that is when we realize what truly matters.

"The time for pleasurable things is over". This story begins mid-S3 as Carol muses over her past and her present, wondering that such a world could still bring unexpected moments of pleasure and joy. This is a story of the hopeful qualities of human nature, and how hope can live side by side with sadness. Primarily Caryl, but general/drama fanfic as well.

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.

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

And now, a couple hours later as best he can tell, here he is. Safe. Warm. Comfortable. All spooned up with Carol like a kid clutching a favorite toy and when did that happen anyway? A smutty Caryl one-shot rated for sexual content and language. Happy New Year's Day Carylers!

It all starts with Noah Puckerman getting Hanukkah presents from some anonymous creeper who probably had a shrine of the Puckasaurus in her (or his) closet. However, it always ends with one person: the ex-girlfriend, the midget, the diva, the dream girl, the friend, the one and only, Rachel Berry.

He was so close, so very close; then she stumbled out of that barn, a walker. Daryl wasn't fast enough to save her, and now, the only thing left to do is save Carol. But maybe, she'll be the one to save him?

Daryl is witness to Carol's change of faith during their time on the road. Oneshot; prompt response; pre-S3.

After the outbreak, Buffy saves a man who was left to die.

Carol has a secret. So does Daryl. His secret is he's witnessed her secret and now he can't stop thinking about it. Set around "Chupacabra", Season 2. Rated M for sexual content, this is an unashamedly romantic story for all those curious about the Daryl/Carol dynamic.

"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.

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.

After Daryl saves her life and Carol nurses her back to health, Cheryl Briggs knows she owes them both. But in a world overrun by walkers, she doesn't have much to give. She decides the best solution would be to give them to each other. DarylxCarol

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.

She had gotten used to his dirty mouth. But she never expected his cursing to affect her like this. Caryl, rated for language and Mature!situations.

It begins as a missing scene from early in 2x06 then grows from there to past 2x07. Daryl doesn't take too well to bedrest and finds himself a task to keep busy. A Carol/Daryl 'shipper epic. Chapter 12 up & series COMPLETE!

Rachel's the breakout star of a hit show on Broadway and everyone turns up to see her triumph except the one person who's been on her mind the most. Puckleberry one-shot.

What happens when Buffy can’t handle it and invokes the essence of ‘Tough Buffy’ from “The Wish?” How will Spike react? And will this new Buffy accept the Scoobies and Spike?

Buffy channels her inner psycho, sending Spike and Dawn on the run. But a little homicidal mania never stood in Buffy and Spike's way before...(Post Hell's Bell's)
