    He held the door open as she walked through, then followed her into the dimly lit quarters, wrapping his arms around her gently and speaking low against her neck.

    "Am I staying?"

    Summary

    (Imported here from Nine Lives, written between September and December 2022. Notes republished here as there were at the time of writing.)

    Carol is a successful tattooist specialising in scar coverups. Daryl wants a backpiece.

    To go in the dark with a light is to know the light.
    To know the dark, go dark. Go without sight,
    and find that the dark, too, blooms and sings,
    and is traveled by dark feet and dark wings.

    (Wendell Berry)

    Summary

    He meets the girl on the first, butter yellow day of summer, three months before she dies. The afternoon is melting towards evening when she appears at the sagging fence around his property, white sneakers stained red with dust, her knees knobbly as a child’s. Behind her, the sycamores bristle with readiness for the season, their shade dense and creek-water cool. Panting at her side is the dog. Daryl squints at the pair from inside his workshop, and stands up slowly, his arms wet and cloudy with clay to the elbows, his right leg stiff from crouching.

    Summary

    Caryl AU: When a forgotten relative dies, Merle puts everything at risk to travel to Nevada and claim the inheritance left to him and Daryl. After his brother had sold everything they’d owned, Daryl had no other choice but to join him on the trip. Annoyed with Merle and the whole situation, he hadn‘t thought he would find anything resembling hope again, and certainly not in a cat-house.
