The Long Way Around by Lena Carr
Summary:

Daryl and Carol, figuring out the road ahead.

rn

A series of mostly-canon-compliant stand-alones that share a common continuity and the same in-jokes.  Includes outside perspectives and non-romance focused stories.  Open-ended and updated as the muse graciously permits.  Generally PG-13/R for Dixon mouth, with canon-typical violence, other canon relationships and deaths, and sexual situations (including Caryl, as soon as TPTB permit).

Herald Angels and Other Noisy Beasts by Lena Carr Rated: T Liked [Reviews - 8]
Summary:

Like any holiday with random in-laws, there were awkward, brittle silences and totally inappropriate comments that should have been left unsaid. They lived through it. Please note: This story shares a lot of themes with Imorca's wonderful story "Minding".  I am not at all sure how much her story influenced this one, but it is a great Christmas fic and needs more love.  Go, read!

Summary:

 The world had gone entirely dark, the first of the stars bright and fierce overhead.  Daryl blinked and ran the sound through his head again, before asking, with that queer certainty that was coming more and more often now, around Carol, “What?
