Summary
Beth had sat down not expecting to ever stand back up. Her daddy was dead, and Maggie was gone. She didn’t know how to survive in this world alone — the loss, the silence, the weight of it all crushing her with each passing day. She'd lost the will to fight, resigned to the idea that maybe, in a world like this, some people just weren’t meant to make it. But then he came.
Daryl Dixon, a man as broken and battered as the world they lived in, finds her when she’s at her lowest, a flicker of hope where she thought there was none. His silence is a comfort, his presence a strange kind of salvation. With nowhere else to turn, Beth reluctantly lets him in, finding solace in his quiet strength and understanding in the unspoken.
-
A canon-divergence story where Rick's group never finds the Greene farm. When the prison falls, Daryl is once again alone, until he stumbles upon a certain farmgirl...

Summary
"Daryl doesn't know what possesses him to look up. There are no birds flying overhead anymore. No planes. Nothing worth seeing. Yet, as though pulled by a force beyond his understanding, he tilts his face skywards and that's when he sees it: a thin slither of grey smoke escaping through the roof of the trees."
Daryl finds Beth and brings her back to the Alexandria Safe Zone. They finally get to finish their conversation from the funeral home.
For Bethyl Smut Week 2k18. Prompt 3: Smoke.

Summary
Months have passed and Daryl is still grieving Beth's loss. No matter how hard he tries, he can't forget her and the regret of everything that was left unsaid between the two of them. Set in the second half of season 6, inspired by Daryl begging Rick not to play that CD in episode 6x10. Depressing, but will have a happy ending, because Daryl and Beth deserve it.

Summary
Beth blinked a few times, certain each time she opened her eyes that he would be gone, a mirage brought on by her melancholy and poofed away as she came to her senses.
Four blinks later and he was still there.
Seven blinks later and he was looking in her direction.

Summary
Ray Molina doesn’t really think much can catch him off guard.
Correction: he didn’t think much could catch him off guard.
When Julie’s hidden away in the studio, ignoring texts from him trying to get her to come in for dinner, he figures out quickly that he’s going to have to go out and pull her away from her writing. Except, well, when he does go out there, she’s not writing. She’s sleeping.
And see, that wouldn’t be an issue, but she’s—
Ray rubs his eyes and squints into the fading light of the room.
Yeah, his daughter is floating.
(*)
(or: 5+1 of Ray slowly coming to the conclusion that maybe, just maybe, carlos was on to something with that whole ‘ghost’ thing.)
