    Summary

    Who would give her dry flowers?

    No one sat in that empty space by her feet, waiting with bated breath for Beth to wake up – no Maggie tightly clutching her mama’s hand, no Shawn with his sturdy gaze and teasing quips about how awful she probably looked, no Daddy reading his bible as he sat vigil by her side, no Daryl restlessly pacing the room while he tore apart his cuticles with his teeth. Beth could picture them all, exactly as they should be, and it was so real she almost believed it. But she blinked, and they were gone again. No one was here with her.

    She shifted her eyes back to the man, and noticed that he had flowers as well. Pink flowers in an ugly blue and white vase.

    They were dried up too.

     

    Beth wakes up in an empty hospital next to a man she doesn't know, with an injury she can't remember, and no family to greet her. The world seems to have burned down around them, but she and this man - this Rick Grimes, are determined to get the hell out of dodge, and hopefully get back to their families in one piece.

    Summary

    She misses the point when it becomes comfortable to call herself Ace. But it happens, she starts to actually associate the name with herself now. It's different from the times she would simply lose herself in the roles, changing names and aliases on a director’s command, each of them nothing more than a temporary mask hiding the gaping emptiness behind it. Instead, there is a sudden moment when she realizes that "Ace" feels like it's hers. When she claims the name and it feels right.

     

    __________

    Or, an au where a famous actress who was violently murdered by a crazy fan gets reborn as one Portgas D. Ace.

     

    Or, having to juggle rebirth, PTSD, mild gender dysphoria, needy younger brothers, stubborn crew of wanna-be-brothers, your own very concerned crew, world government's harassment and million other little things sounds like a great way to spend one's afterlife. (It's really not).

    Then the dead rise.

    Follow along as Rick's little sister absolutely fucks some shit up... and deals with something she didn't think was possible ever again.
