Summary
She hadn't taken Daryl Dixon for a cuddler. It's making a new heat crawl across her skin, one that originates low in her stomach. This heat is like a live-wire, zinging along her nerve endings, nothing like close sticky heat that still clings to her.
The morning after they burn the moonshine shack down, Beth awakes on a musty mattress with Daryl at her back, and a hangover that makes her never want to drink again. Aching and too hot, she decides to seek out fresh air, but never quite makes it out of bed.

Summary
Daryl has refused to leave Beth ever since he had carried her lifeless body out of Grady Memorial, looking for all the world like a dog waiting to be beaten. Maggie wasn't going to be the one to tell Daryl he couldn't stay at Beth's side.
Beth survives her gunshot wound and, in the aftermath, Maggie reflects on Daryl and the things she's missed since the fall of the prison.

Summary
Now he was at his wit's end, ready to get out of the office, and he still had paperwork. He was about ready to put it off for a later date when Karen darkened his door; she remained just outside of his office.
"A visitor for you, sir," Karen said, her voice icy cold. She had never once turned that voice on him.
"I told you I didn't want any visitors," Bucky replied, missing stern by miles, sounding more like he'd just been chastised.
The Clevens make good on their promise to visit Bucky.

Summary
Somewhere in their cozy little house, John Egan was avoiding her, a ghost in her home, she thought with an odd sort of morbidity. He had returned home, alive, from the war and now he haunted her house.
Or: Marge gets tired of Bucky avoiding her and finally decides to take matters into her own hands.

Summary
He’d phoned ahead to let them know about the delay and Gale hadn’t seemed surprised; Marge saw that in his face before he even answered the telephone. He had been expecting the call. His face was an open book. Even now, after the war, he was so easy to read.
After he hung up, Gale got restless. They had both been looking forward to the visit as soon as John made the promise. They hadn’t seen him since the wedding, and Marge could see how much the distance hurt her Gale. Now he was trapped inside their little house by the same weather that had John stuck in Douglas.
Bucky comes to visit, and things don't go as expected.

Summary
After all, she was just a girl.
Just Maggie’s sister. Just Judith’s babysitter. Just one piece of a larger whole, who only mattered because she was connected to the rest, and insignificant in her own right.
Just another dead girl.
Just gone.
[A Bethyl canon divergence AU and companion fic to Surfacing.]

Summary
Maybe it will take Carmy years to realize, and maybe Sydney will be over him by then. Like that’s even possible. Carmy is the high school crush you think about the rest of your life. Richie is the guy you fuck in college during the early stages of alcoholism. She will get Carmy. She will get him because she wants him. It’s as simple as that.
Sydney never has to meet his daughter; Richie never has to meet her father. That’s why this works.
