Summary:

This fic was my first foray into multi-chapter Caryl. I dusted it off and made some revisions, adding many thousands of words. See story notes for more details.

Caryl ZA AU story. Set when Carol, Ed and Sophia were original residents of the ASZ and the group joined when they did. Some of Carol's actions in the past (Terminus) took place, but by Beth. I wanted to take season six and season one and do some shuffeling.

Summary:

This idea is one I discussed over a year ago with a few other writers. I wanted a Caryl do-over post prison. I also had an idea for a fic featuring both Eugene and Lizzie. When I announced the challenge for the Our Walking Dead Family Facebook group, I decided to mesh the two. I didn't get very far before realizing I may have more to tell in the future about this little universe.

Loss by Amwaaker Rated: M Liked [Reviews - 37]
Summary:

The three communities come together in response to a medical crisis that nobody thought they would ever have a chance against after the turn.  This story is very heavy on angst and drama.  Triggers for major health crisis, life discussion, end of life discussions.  While this is an angsty story, remember that I love Caryl and want a happy ending.

OK - this is really a wonky concept, but based on real life.
This is based off of rare side effects experienced by some with a sleep remedy.  I started to wonder what situations Daryl and Carol would get themselves into. Just for fun. First attempt at mature subjects. Enjoy!

Summary:

Just a very short drabble.  Merle and Daryl arguing about best Southern Prison Anthem ever.  Set in the prison of course.  Carol/Daryl, Merle/Beth, Glenn/Maggie.  Just something silly because both the songs here have been playing on my phone repeatedly over the past few weeks.  Couldn't get this idea out of my head.

Apologies to Blake Shelton, Rehab, Elvis, and American Idol.

The Dixons by Amwaaker Rated: E Liked [Reviews - 8]
Summary:

They were happy. It wasn't just about them being able to make love again either. For the first time in his life, Daryl fully understood what had been denied them both in the past. There was nowhere they would rather be right now, and tomorrow after much more loving and some much needed sleeping, they would go back to being busy parents of twins. Happy parents. Happy family. A Dixon family that was happy? God knows this fucked up world could produce weirder things.

She looked him over quickly.  He had on a sleeveless work shirt with the Senoia Restoration logo on it and low-slung blue jeans.  His arms were muscular and darkly tanned from hours of working in the sun.  He was the picture of a working man with the physique to match.  He was sex on a stick and the epitome of a character straight from central casting of the cover of one of her books.  He was absolutely delicious.
