Summary: 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.

Story Notes:
if you haven't read "Team Groupchat: An Interlude" i suggest you do, partially because who doesn't want more Team Groupchat in their lives, but mostly because it contextualizes this story. you can probably jump into this without reading it, but it'll make more sense if you do.
happy reading, friends
