Summary
When Rick works night duty while recovering from the shooting, he becomes friends with Daryl, the young guy working community service as a janitor in lieu of prison time.
"If you found an animal in an alley and it was raining and you approached it, it would try to bite you. But if you could get it inside and feed it and take it somewhere warm, it would follow you forever. He's got that kind of vibe to him."

Summary
“I’m at the train station.” Daryl’s voice was a low husk over the line, a rumble barely audible over the background noise at the other end of the phone. Rick felt himself still, a calm settling over his body and his mind going empty and calm. “Come and get me.”
This time, it feels different.

Summary
(Part 1 of 3)
When Rick is 8, he visits his family out in the middle of nowhere Georgia and gets lost in the woods. He stumbles upon something he isn’t supposed to see, and is saved by another little boy that gets him home safely.
AKA: the story where Daryl continuously keeps Rick from getting killed as they grow up, Rick is a nosy little shit who doesn't know boundaries, and Daryl's family practices a bastardized version of Folklore Hoodoo and New Orleans Haitian Vodou.
The Dixon Family and their associates use this practice to prosper their bootlegging business, but their rituals are corrupt and their actions anger the spirits they communicate with. The forest and town become cursed, and the horrible things the townspeople do in their every day lives makes everything worse. No one discovers the damning combination until it's too late.

Summary
Daryl's acting odd, slipping off by himself and getting all highstrung for no good reason. It comes to a head when Daryl breaks the cardinal rule of supply runs: no staying out past nightfall. With no idea why - whether he was caught by the storm, whether he was caught by walkers...or worse - Rick has no choice but to wait for him to come back...and deal with what comes after.

Summary
"'I read somewhere,' Carol says. 'If you love something, set it free. If it comes back, it's yours forever. If it doesn't, then it was never yours at all.'
But Daryl snorts. 'Fuck that," he says. 'I come back, you best put a bullet in me.'"
In which Daryl gets bitten, and Rick's not ready to let him go. Maybe for good reason. Rick/Daryl slash
Spoiler: NOT character death. Because I'm a weak human being.

Summary
"Rick knows it's a mistake, letting Merle into the prison. He knows it can only end badly, put the group at risk, put 'em on edge. He's doing his level best to keep both to a minimum, but it's a losing battle. And that ain't even his biggest concern doing this. It's Daryl."
Merle-induced Daryl angst, Protective!Rick, Daryl/Rick fluff.

Summary
Rick knows when he sees Carol sitting in that cell that he's got Daryl to thank for it. And then he gets to thinking about just how much he really owes him, about what he really feels about him, and about how, somehow, "trust" just don't seem like strong enough a word for it anymore.
Angst, romance, fluff, and a little bit of h/c all rolled into one Rickyl one-shot.

We had a deal. No more dates. You promised.
“This isn’t a date,” Eddie says. “It’s a work thing. Dinner with a person I’ve never met before.”
Venom stays silent, but Eddie has the distinct feeling he’s unimpressed. Admittedly, Eddie’s made better arguments.

Summary
Daryl is on the worst date ever when he finds himself up on the kiss cam. When his date won't even even look up from his phone, he finds himself locking lips with a total stranger by the name of Rick Grimes.
P.S. I edited this like half-asleep, so we'll all just pretend it's perfect until I read through it again tomorrow and cringe for twenty minutes.

Summary
Rick has been horny beyond belief lately, and it's driving him fucking crazy. All he wants is to screw something besides his own hand, but none of the women in the prison are doing it for him even during a daydream-fueled jerk session, so what's the point of even trying?
Rick takes all of these frustrations to the fence, and Daryl shows up to help him in more ways than one.

Summary
Daryl Dixon is starting his first year in college, egged on by his father who insists on him getting a degree no matter what he wants to do. He doesn't understand the point of having to take courses outside of his major, but when he finds out the professor of his History 101 class is "drop dead gorgeous," he begins to think that maybe the class won't be so bad after all. If he can survive the professor's rigorous standards, that is.

Summary
“Five months ago, the battered remains of science and government emerged from a secret bunker outside Denver to deliver the cure and a way to kill huge herds of walkers in an instant – some kind of sonic blast that fries their brains with no harm to the living.”
The worst is over and it’s time to rebuild. Daryl has spent years longing for Rick, never imagining anything could come of it. But now that everything else has changed, maybe that will too.
