Story Notes:
So apparently when I wrote smut last time it turned into a love scene. Here is some actual smut (Well... Except for chapter 4). Sorry I don't have all seven parts ready to post, but they are outlined and should be posted soon. Hopefully you have as much fun reading this as I did writing it.
Thanks to Stephtron312 for being my beta!
Rated for sexy times. Feedback of any kind is much appreciated.
Disclaimer: I do not own The Walking Dead. If I did the last half of season 5 would have gone very differently.
1. Chapter 1: Horseshoes by Lamport [Reviews - 21] (1472 words)
Carol stops by Aaron's garage to admire Daryl's handiwork.
2. Chapter 2: Acorns by Lamport [Reviews - 10] (1324 words)
Daryl and Carol fight and make up - sort of.
3. Chapter 3: Four-leaf Clover by Lamport [Reviews - 14] (2354 words)
Daryl catches up with Carol over whisky and cookies.
4. Chapter 4: Rainbow by Lamport [Reviews - 21] (2004 words)
Daryl learns another way to comfort Carol.
Fair warning: this one is a little angsty. Very different tone from the last instalment. Music rec: Vance Joy "Best That I Can"
5. Chapter 5: Medal of Saint Christopher by Lamport [Reviews - 15] (3211 words)
Daryl encounters some bad luck on a run.
I think I've come up with a name for this genre of story. I call it "smangst" - smut with a good dose of angst.
This one is a wee bit dark with some questionable consent - nothing terrible, but I'd hate it to be a trigger if you weren't expecting it.
Thank you for all the lovely feedback on the last chapter. I seem to be firmly entrenched in angst at the moment which some of you really dig. This chapter helped me get some of it out of my system.
6. Chapter 6: Wishing Well by Lamport [Reviews - 20] (4314 words)
Daryl comes home just in time for a karaoke party.
Decidedly lighter in tone (and longer!) than the last two chapters.
7. Chapter 7: Rabbit's Foot by Lamport [Reviews - 21] (4066 words)
Daryl is teased and Carol provides some reassurance.
Smexy times in the water ensue. This is probably the furthest I've stretched a prompt - but it's the last one so I don't care!
Hope you enjoy!
