Summary
A mysterious virus suddenly sweeps across the United States, sending the entire nation into chaos. It is unlike anything the world has ever seen before, turning healthy human beings into lethal, feral, bloodthirsty shells of their former selves within seconds of exposure. It is described only as “an infection of rage.”
Then the mass evacuations begin.
28 days later, Beth Greene wakes up all alone in a deserted hospital.

Summary
After taking a bullet in the head, Beth wakes up. It's the morning that Rick carried his dying son in his arms to her family farm. With her memories of the next two years fully intact, she goes about trying to set things right. But maybe getting Daryl Dixon to come around just takes time. Maybe there’s nothing she can do to save him, or herself. Are her efforts misguided? Are some things decided by destiny?

Blame the Moonshine by SunshineDaisy90

Summary
"The first time it happened, they could blame the moonshine." ... Beth & Daryl's journey from the moonshine shack to Alexandria, as told through their evolving sleeping habits.
This likely falls more within a T rating, but I went with M to be safe, mostly for possible language and sexual references in future chapters, but nothing too graphic.

Summary
It was only supposed to be a secret summer fling. Daryl knows he shouldn’t be doing this. But so does Beth, and that doesn’t seem to be stopping her. She ain't so innocent as she looks. Hell, he's pretty sure she never was.
She’ll be leaving soon anyhow. Then it’ll be over. He won’t be tempted by desire anymore, and he can return to his mundane life and even more mundane daydreams.
Nah, he’s not catchin' feelings. He’s just thirsty as hell.

Summary
Beth Greene's car is on it's last life, so when Daryl Dixon offers his help after finding her broken down on the side of the road, she can hardly believe her luck. Even harder to believe is him agreeing to pretend to be her boyfriend to convince her family and friends that she truly has moved on from her mother's death. But it's hard to know what's pretend and what's not when real feelings get involved, and tensions rise when they both realise they're no longer keeping up their façade as a friendly favour.

Summary
Beth Greene's starting a new chapter of her life after her mother's death - college - which means independence, freedom, and a whole lot of opportunities to get drunk and make bad choices, or so her sister Maggie tells her. But all Beth wants to do is focus on her studies - that is until she befriends Daryl Dixon, the bartender at Martinez' who isn't half bad to have around when drunk men approach and who she finds herself thinking about late at night more and more. When Beth exasperatedly complains she's not having any of the fun her sister always talks about, her and Daryl begin a whole new kind of relationship that she never in her wildest dreams would imagine but can't ever think of going without again.

Daryl had looked for her for so long. Running all night, finding his family against all odds, tracking these creep cops to this damned hospital. He wasn't about to let it end here.

I am trying to make Coda make sense, so... humour me?
This story will follow the show, with some Bethyl themed detours of course 😉
