Baby, It’s Cold Inside by Pipergirl17
Daryl and Beth find themselves stuck in the prison’s watchtower on Christmas Eve with a snowstorm raging outside and a generator that’s run out of fuel. They’ve got nothing but a deck of cards, a box of condoms, some candles, a few blankets and a couple of sleeping bags at their disposal. Also known as “How Daryl and Beth Finally Confront Their Feelings For One Another After She Beats the Pants Off Him at Go Fish”.
’twas the Night before Christmas by @paperdollgirl
’tis the season by sheriffandsteel
Christmas is the least magical time of year as far as Daryl is concerned. All the overpriced, tacky, commercialism is bad enough, add in the fact that the worst heartbreak of his life happened days before Christmas and Daryl would be more than happy to skip December altogether.
Or at least he would except he only sees Beth in December.

2021 Bethyl Holidays Fest Halloween – Haunted House/Masquerade/Monsters by Piper1016
Three one-shots but they’re all tied together.
Haunted House comes first, Masquerade is second and Monsters is third.
Love and Vampires by Gneebee
Daryl and Beth have had some trouble on the home front. Will dressing up as vampires and going to the big Halloween Party help get that fire burning again?
You Sure Are Lookin’ Good by Rckyfrk
Beth gets stood up at the town Halloween party, but a certain knight in wolf’s clothing comes to her rescue.

End of Watch by @boltthrutheheart
Merle Dixon considers himself a jack of all trades. He also considers himself somewhat of a ladies’ man. His brother, on the other hand… Well, let’s just say Daryl needs a little help when it comes to finding “The One.” And who better than his big brother?
What could possibly go wrong?
Like a Drunken Fairy Godmother by VeeCWS
In a small town Wyoming bar Daryl meets a fellow Georgia native. Of course he needs a little help from Merle.
Marilyn by wandering_gypsy_feet
Merle Dixon cannot understand why the hell Beth and Daryl aren’t taking advantage of their newfound safety in the Alexandria Safe Zone to hash some things out.
So he’s taking matters into his own hands.
First up, the faking dating trope.
Who Let Dog Out? by courtneyshortney82
Merle and Dog Dixon team up to help Daryl get a girl… one certain girl… the girl across the street…
A Little Jailbreak with the Little Jailbait by wandering_gypsy_feet
When Daryl Dixon got both Beth Greene and Merle Dixon back, it turned out not to quite be the blessing he’d imagined it.
At least, not at first.
A oneshot AU where Merle ends up at Grady with Beth.
Went out for waffles and got me a sister-in-law by naturegoddess210
Merle goes to a waffle House for some waffles and coffee and he sees a pretty little blonde in a blue waitress dress.
He decides that his baby brother needs his intervention and sets them up.

We follow Daryl and Beth’s new romance through the holiday season.
Never Knew by Piper1016
Christmas morning. The prospect of the day still gave her a thrill just as it did when she was a child. Soon they’d be up and getting ready to start the day but for now, Beth snuggled down in the blankets, trying to escape the chill in the air. Daryl’s hand lay warmly on her hip. The solid presence he instinctively and intuitively asserted comforted her. Always.
Merry Christmas, Daryl Dixon by gala-art
Cookies & Moonshine by Piper1016
As she turned the corner, heading back home there was a house set back off of the road. She hesitated only a moment before heading down the drive.
As far as she knew a man lived there by himself. She’d seen him a few times as he drove past her house, or as she drove past his. A nod of the head, a small wave was all the interaction they’d had. But it was Christmas Eve and she had one more plate of cookies, everyone should have a tiny bit of cheer on this day.

Giving Thanks by gneebee
It’s a time of giving thanks and counting our blessings and Daryl and Beth may have some new reasons to feel thankful and blessed.
We give thanks by naturegoddess210
It’s Thanksgiving in Alexandria Safe Zone. Beth is alive and married to Daryl. Their whole family is there too. Even Merle.. Also they don’t have turkey, it’s a goose.
Please note: We have decided to omit Thanksgiving from our future Holidays Fest due to the fact that it is strictly an American holiday and often has the least amount of submissions. Thank you so much to everyone who submitted!
some of them are here on earth by lindentree
If the State of Georgia had seen fit to upgrade the ancient plumbing they left in their goddamn prison before the world fell apart, Daryl might never have found out what Beth could do.
Ghost Stories by Courtneyshortney82
Daryl and Beth remember those that they lost along the way and wonder if they are still around.
Told You I Wasn’t Gonna Leave You by boltthrutheheart
your soul is haunting me by paperdollgirl
Moonlight Sonata by SquishyCool
Daryl Dixon has a dark secret that he’s been carrying since childhood. Nothing in the world could change it, not even his own brother. There’s simply no denying his instincts.
But just when he thinks his life has been turned upside-down for the last time… he stumbles upon Beth Greene.
Full Moon by boltthrutheheart
These past three weeks on the job have been non-stop. Thank God they’re wrapping it up today. Friday. Perfect. 10 hours a day six days a week is starting to get to him. He doesn’t mind working and he likes the work he does, he’d just like to have a little time to take care of some other shit, and maybe have a little fun.
He’s been working so many hours there are a couple of things that have slipped by undone. He’s managed to keep his laundry up, he has to have work clothes. He paid the kid next door to cut his grass. Those things got done.
It’s the really important shit he hasn’t gotten to.
