Just a quick little drabble I wrote for the U.S.S. Caryl's Winter/Holiday Challenge last year: Daryl brings Carol a present. Takes place between S3 and S4.
"A lot of things went unsaid between them. They were simply understood. They shared a comfortable familiarity with one another that she could never quite put into words, yet somehow never doubted. Still, in the midst of all that understanding, it sometimes felt like they had very little to say to one another."
Caryl excerpts from my Team Family drabble series in which they all heed the writing on the wall at Richmond and go in the other direction.
AU after WHAWGO, family fluff mixed in with angsty/gritty realism about life on the road. Canon/soon-to-be canon pairings throughout. Don’t be surprised if I find a way to introduce a few Virginians along the way. See FF.net under the same penname for the complete seies.
"He didn't know why he kept it when he didn’t have a single good reason for taking it in the first place." The first in a series of character studies beginning with Daryl in S2.
