Story Notes:

It contains foul language and graphic situations between two consenting adults. It gets a little dark. You’ve been warned. Separate warnings listed on chapter 7.

Submitted to the 2016 Summer Survival Series, "Caryl-flying" Season 6.

The title is taken from the song "Mr. Somewhere" by This Mortal Coil.

A world like tomorrow wears things out
It's hard enough to get what's yours for now
And the hardest words are spoken softly
Softly look, no hands upon

Mr. Somewhere missing somewhere never did figure just how much
Missing somewhere never did figure just how much

I originally posted this on Fanfiction.net a few months ago, my first fanfic ever. I ended up re-editing it and adding in a bit more to enter it in the challenge.

This chapter is graphic, and is probably not to most people's tastes. It borders on BDSM. If that doesn't appeal to you, then Carol IS fucking with him, and they kiss, and then live happily ever after back in Alexandria for at least a few episodes. Unfortunately I can't retcon the emotional torture porn we got onscreen at the end of s6 so THAT'S still a thing.
