Story Notes:

AN: OK, this is an AU fic. It’s completely and totally AU. I own nothing from the Walking Dead except my love for the characters. I make no money off of it, no infringement intended, and so on and so forth. This is just for fun and entertainment value, that’s all.

This is eventually a Caryl fic, but in many places Daryl and Carol will both be, probably, more than a little OOC. The Sophia that will be in this story will be very, very, very OOC, pretty much to the fact of simply being an OC.

I know it will take us a bit to get rolling well, but I hope you enjoy it. I’ll give the warning that it may be a little “darker” in places than some of what you’re used to with me, at least at the beginning. You also get the warning that domestic violence, physical abuse, verbal abuse, etc. will be talked about and “take place” in the fic. The one thing I can say is that even though it may be alluded to, I will not write rape in detail. I may mention it, and I’ll give trigger warnings if and when I do, but I don’t do the detailed stuff on that. It’s not my cup of tea at all to write that.

Let me know what you think.

*Warning for possible triggers ahead for domestic abuse and some of its possible side effects.*

I wanted to say, in case anyone should feel this way, that none of our characters should be judged too harshly. Each one of them, as we’re going to see unfolding more and more, is dealing with their own demons and does so in their own way, but I consider none of the main three a villain.

I hope you enjoy. I’ll try to get some more out soon and get a little deeper into things.
