What if the ZA never happened? Would Daryl have ever met Carol, Rick, and the others? How might those meetings have occured?
Daryl is a junior in college living with his best friend, Rick. His life is going to get complicated when Rick's sister, Carol, breaks up with her boyfriend and moves in with them. Especially since Daryl's reputation has Rick warning him not to even think about trying anything with his sister.
AU no ZA. Carol and Daryl were best friends from the ages of 8 until they were 18. After high school, she moved to Savannah for college and he moved to Virginia to live with his older brother, Merle. Right before Daryl left town, something happened that broke the bond they shared and the two haven't spoken in six long years. What happens when they both move back to their home town? Will they be able to repair the bond that they once shared?
Two best friends, a night of pizza and movies, and a back rub that could change everything.
A strange new virus sets off a chain of events that results in the end of the world as everyone knows it. Several unlikely groups will band together in an attempt to survive. Soon enough, these new bonds will be put the test, and along the way old ties and long buried lies will come to light.
Daryl and Merle Dixon buy a duplex and decide to live in one part of it and rent the other part out. Little does Daryl know that he is in for a life changing experience when he agrees to let his boss' niece, Carol, rent out the other half.
"You gotta have hope. If you don't, what are you really living for?" This is a short AU centering around Daryl, Carol, and their struggle as Daryl deals with the fact that it's unlikely he'll ever be able to give Carol the one thing he thinks that she wants and deserves most.
