Summary
The world keeps falling apart, but having someone warming Daryl's life makes it worth living for more than just the next cig; If Daryl is the outdoor cat, his partner is the indoor dog.
While scavenging the group hears some batshit guy actually singing! Although drawn in by the affable, bodybuilding musician straight from the off, Daryl still has a lot of darkness in his past to work through. Struggling to accept who he is, even when he sees himself shine in the sky-blue reflection of his lover's eyes. It takes time, patience, and a hell of a lot of foreplay.
Their family unexpectedly grows when they find a feral boy with daggers for eyes. Parenting in the apocalypse is no easy task, especially not when Merle comes back from the dead, angry at his brother for playing house with a man. Not to mention a new enemy that makes Daryl's skin crawl - his lover's ex. Can Daryl be a husband, father, and leader?
Enjoy Daryl falling in love against his own reservations, existing in that love, and the family they make. Even ol' Unc'ey Merle.
