Summary: The Saviors have been defeated with the help of some rather peculiar monks. Now, Carol and Daryl will have to find a way to provide for Alexandria and defend it against new enemies. Maybe, along the way, they’ll finally admit their feelings for each other.

Story Notes:
This story follows canon until season 6 and then diverges. Carol never leaves Alexandria. Daryl is never captured by Negan. Glen is never beaten to death.
This was the first Walking Dead fanfiction I ever wrote, and I'm currently rewriting it in present tense, with a few minor additions here and there. This version is also a bit more Caryl-centric and condenses the Richonne parts. If you missed this story the first time around, I really hope you will enjoy this revised version now. Or, if you just want to read it a second time, in its new incarnation, I hope you will.
