All Daryl intended to do was give Carol's car a jump and be on his merry way. What he didn't know was that one action would lead his senior year in high school down a rabbit hole of new friends, new enemies, impromptu study sessions, some hardcore crushing, and text threads for days. Who would have thought a life could be changed with something as simple as jumper cables?

Daryl and Carol have graduated high school, are living together, and are deeply in love. Everything is perfect and there is no conflict or drama and they are living the ideal fairy tale life.

Lmao, just kidding. Life's a roller coaster and they're flying on the tracks with no safety bar. Turns out you can't control the future; all you can do is live it.

just a lil christmas treat. takes place in the lost years between "check engine light" and "gas gauge".
