Summary
By the time the pizza was gone, he was ready to fall asleep on the couch. He left the dirty plate on the coffee table, too tired to care, and shuffled across the room to the light switch. Just as his fingers flipped the switch, that tiny moment before the room was suddenly dark, something caught his eye.
There, across the room, in the shadowy corner by the window, something moved. It was faint - barely more than a shimmer - but the outline was very human-like.
Daryl’s heart leapt into his throat, and he hit the switch again, flooding the room with light... Nothing.
or
Daryl lives a solitary life and he couldn't be happier about that. But one day, he finds himself not living alone, not anymore. How will he deal with the constant presence of a ghostly figure?

Summary
"How are people gonna sign your cast?" the girl asks. "If it's all black?"
"Um. Dunno. S’okay,” Daryl says awkwardly when it becomes clear she’s waiting for some kind of response. “Ain’t like - don’t really think nobody’ll wanna sign it anyway. So."
Instead of getting the kid to let up, this statement seems to somehow capture her interest. She uncurls in the chair a little, looking at him with a wide-open face. “Why not?"
But he’s saved from having to answer that by Carol the desk lady, who breaks into a little half-run when she sees Daryl waiting. “Sorry, sorry - just had to step away for a moment, sorry about that, Daryl.”
“S’fine,” Daryl mumbles. She doesn’t have to apologize to him for taking a piss or whatever, good Lord.

Summary
A long marriage and an even longer friendship should withstand anything -- even apocalypse. Right?
Ever since Rick woke up to a shitty new world, things he’d trusted his whole life have started crumbling down. In the middle of people turning into walkers, and people turning on people, is it possible to find anything good anymore? New friends? New relationships?
With a new disaster crashing into them every day, is there any time left to build new things?
Time: Roughly from episode 2.05 “Chupacabra” onwards. Even though the main plot points somewhat follow the second season canon plot (until they really don’t anymore…), I have taken a few liberties in what order I put certain things.
