Open to: Fan Fiction

THE PROMPT: It’s a Season 6 rewrite challenge!

Season 6 gave us a lot of Carol and a lot of Daryl, but not a whole lot of them together. Given how much we got from interviews, behind-the-scenes talk and more about how Carol and Daryl care about each other, think about each other, blah blah blah, not having them onscreen together seemed weird.

We've compiled a sample list of scenes that featured only either Carol or Daryl - your job is add the other half of our dynamic duo and make the Caryl magic happen! (You're not restricted to this list - any scene from S6 that contained only Carol or Daryl will fit the challenge.)

• The Wolves' attack (6.02)
• In the burned woods, encountering Dwight/Tina/Honey (6.06)
• In Alexandria when the walker horde hits (6.08, 6.09)
• In the truck when they encounter the Saviors (6.09)
• The supply run where they encounter Jesus for the first time (6.10)
• On the trip to Hilltop (6.11)
• The night before the raid on the Saviors (6.12)
• The run to Edison's Apothecary (6.14)

THE DEADLINE: Submissions must be turned in by midnight Pacific Time on May 21st.
