Trick or Treat

I Know A Girl Who’s Soft and Sweet by gutsforgarters

Daryl never had a lot of crushes growing up—and by not a lot he means none at all—but if he had, he thinks he probably would’ve gone for someone like Beth Greene.

you know better, daddy by kattyshack

Daryl’s not big on parties — honestly, fuck ‘em — but as far as incentives go, Beth’s good enough to get him to rethink pretty much every personal opinion he’s ever had.

Heart, Fear Nothing by briarxrose

Daryl shows Beth that princesses in towers can save themselves.

Now and Later by Rckyfrk

Of all gin joints in all the world, Beth walked into Daryl’s. Well…into his seat, anyway.

Pumpkins

Second Chances by Piper1016

Pumpkin in the ZA? Sure why not.

let’s give ’em pumpkin to talk about by kattyshack

He’s never actually done a first date before, but Daryl’s starting to think that this afternoon at the pumpkin patch with Beth is exactly that.
God damn it.

And, I Built A Home by briarxrose

Daryl and Beth sow the seeds of a future for their family together.

Black Cats

The Moon None the Wiser by Piper1016

Daryl had no idea why he was at the town’s only bar tonight of all nights. Just a bunch of the same people getting shitfaced drunk. Only tonight, some of them were in costume because, unfortunately, it was Halloween.

Stray Cat Strut by gutsforgarters

“Y’know, Daryl, you’re kind of like a cat.”

i put a spell on you / because you’re mine by kattyshack

If Beth had known the stray cat she took home to make her familiar was not, in fact, an actual cat… Well, maybe she wouldn’t have taken it — him — home at all.
As it is, though, ignorance really does turn out to be bliss.

Nine Lives by briarxrose

When Emily Dixon-Greene brings back a black kitten for Halloween, will it bring good luck to the Dixon Family?
