    Summary

    Zuko has not known real peace since the day he faced his sister in the Last Agni Kai many years ago.

    No matter how many times he tried to bury them, his feelings for a particular waterbender refused to fade. At every shared meal with the Gaang, every sparring match in a courtyard, and every visit to the Fire Palace, he found himself hoping, just once, that her eyes would meet his and reignite the spark that had flared the moment he took Azula's lightning for her... but they never did.

    Her gaze always found Aang's instead. And, as time went on, Zuko taught himself to look away — for their sake, and for the fragile balance of their friendship. The Avatar and the healer, bound together as if by fate.

    But when Katara comes to the Fire Nation during a quiet break from Aang, the Fire Lord begins to notice something he hadn't allowed himself to see before. Whenever he looked away...

    She always looked back.

    (Set 10 years after the Hundred Year War, Post-Canon)

    Summary

    In this story, Sheriff Daryl Dixon gets a call on a cold winter night about a girl who appeared seemingly out of nowhere on a desolate mountainside. Freezing, barefoot, and alone with only the clothes on her back, she can't speak and has little to no memory of her past. The more Daryl tries to help her, the more he's drawn to her. Will finding the clues to her past be to her detriment as well as their fragile bond?

    Update: 6/7/2024 - I started writing this fic in May of 2019 and finished it in March of 2020 and it remains one of my favorites. For quite some time, I've been meaning to go through and rework it to fix the many plotholes and misspellings. I've finally spent the last week sprucing it up. I'm sure there are still mistakes and plotholes but let's hope there are smaller holes and fewer misspellings.
    If you're reading this for the first time, thank you! If you're re-reading this, double thank you.

    Not for those under 18.

    Summary

    "Daryl doesn't know what possesses him to look up. There are no birds flying overhead anymore. No planes. Nothing worth seeing. Yet, as though pulled by a force beyond his understanding, he tilts his face skywards and that's when he sees it: a thin slither of grey smoke escaping through the roof of the trees."

    Daryl finds Beth and brings her back to the Alexandria Safe Zone. They finally get to finish their conversation from the funeral home.

    For Bethyl Smut Week 2k18. Prompt 3: Smoke.

    Summary

    It's not Daryl's fault that they're trapped in the closet, but it's definitely his fault that Beth will probably have a lump on her head because of the way he frantically shoved her in there. And it's not Beth's fault that she's baited by his taunting about her never being manhandled before, but it's definitely her fault when she does something about it.
