Has it really been nearly an entire decade since we saw these two together on the red carpet??? 🥹😍

And they were absolutely beautiful at The Walking Dead’s finale episode premiere event at the Orpheum Theater in Los Angeles… capping off eleven seasons.

Once upon a time, I yearned for enduring real life romance between them, but now I am happy that they have circled back to what I hope will be an enduring friendship. Because their onscreen chemistry as Beth Greene and Daryl Dixon in this series was so very special and impactful for many. ♥️

Emily and Norman: THANK YOU for the precious gift of your portrayal of these two characters with so much heart and emotive authenticity. Together, you were absolute magic… unforgettable lightning in a bottle. You deeply touched many hearts and consequently, we became devoted Bethylers. This long hoped for red-carpet reunion brought back all those heart-fluttering feels. 🥰 🫠

I'm not saying I'm gonna finish the fanfic I haven't touched in 6-7 years, because whew boy. But I will say that I've spent the last 2 days re-reading She's Breathing and Still Breathing in entirety to see if I can even remember how I was going to finish it, lol, or if it's even possible.

Apologies to the small handful of people I'm constantly liking/reblogging from but I'm becoming increasingly unhinged about the topic and you are the ones who can be counted on for content

My goofy sleeping brain decided to try to combine my current hyperfixation with an older one and ended up crossing over Stranger Things with The Walking Dead, but only my very specific AU WIP. The story now takes place in the 80s, I guess, which actually makes sense, chronologically, since Daryl is a teenager in the WIP. Only now the Dixon boys have a cousin up in Hawkins, Indiana by the name of Eddie Munson, whose mom was their dad's little sister. Eddie's folks moved up that way to try to make a better life outside of Georgia (or to avoid legal ramifications in Eddie's dad's case) and then long haul trucker Uncle Wayne ended up there, instead of back in Georgia, when Eddie needed a guardian.

Eddie is probably about a year older than Daryl, if my math works out, which is fun. I don't know if I will ever actually merge the two works, but it would be cool if the Dixons were trying to get north, so they could try to find their only living relatives during the zombie apocalypse.

So I guess thanks, dreaming brain. I definitely needed to be pondering and researching this random plot bunny instead of working on the Hellcheer WIP I'm desperately trying to write...

Beth Favorite's Books of 2023!

It’s that time of the year! Where we look back at all of the books we read this year and pick our favorites. These are my favorite books of 2023. They are in no particular order but in order that I read them. The Dangerous Damsels series by India Holton – The Wisteria Society of Lady Scoundrels, The League of Gentlewoman Witches and The Secret Service of Tea and Treason were such a fun trilogy…

What if Beth survived the headshot at Grady and made her way to Alexandria, with no recollection of the past two years? A Bethyl Memory-Loss AU

i feel like we’re all rowing along in our little Bethyl boat, shamelessly raising our middle fingers at the Caryl cruise-ship as we pass by.

Bethyl fanfic Roman Empire: The Crow’s Song by SquishyCool ( @im-immortal )

Some stories have such a lasting impact on you that it feels like they’re ingrained on your shipper heart. I think about this story almost daily since I read it a few months ago. Like literally can’t stop thinking about it.

I made this one a while ago and forgot to share it 🖤

Opened a doc during my lunch break. I wanted to write something smutty...and none of my current WIPs were at a place to insert smut so its for something new. Probably fit this into my Bethyl Kink series for a part 3 addition.

Tagging: @galadrieljones @whovianlili @not-so-austen @auroraroseane @gneebee @rckyfrk

Under the cut for the tiny bit of smut written less than 2 hours ago. lol

Daryl backed Beth up against the wall, pushing his body hard against her. His hands wrapped around her neck and tilted her face up towards his. His lips crashed down upon hers. “Beth,” he groaned into her mouth. She let loose a breathy moan. Her fingers tugged on his dark locks. She could feel his hard cock pressing against her stomach, just out of reach of her throbbing pussy. She changed the gripped of her fingers, moving them to clench the material of his shirt between her fists, before raising on her tiptoes to get closer to him. She raised a leg to his thigh, and Daryl slid his hand down to grip her leg. He pulled her leg higher up and grinded himself into her center. The move gasped at the pressure. “Oh, God. Daryl! I need you.” Daryl dipped his head, kissing and sucking on the heated skin on the nape of her neck.

This is literally all I got for this right now. I'm in a mood. lol

Hey @sasusc Thanks for the tag. Smut for smut sounds fair, right? I can't write it the way you do so idk if anyone will ever find my smut writing hot like yours, but you know. I need to write it from a place I can find some appeal in it, to reach across the middle ground. Also it's just a draft, okay. Might add it to Love, Run down the line, might cast it into the fire, who knows Bethyl smut below the cut

His eyes - his eyes. Beth couldn’t breathe for a moment, the air catching in her throat as their gazes caught, locked together and neither of them able to tear themselves away. Daryl’s skin was glowing in the reds and purples of the stained glass high above them, but his eyes were untouched. Those almost chilling blues were filled with an intensity she’d never seen in him before. And when Beth finally gave in and tangled her hands in his hair, she could feel him moan against the wet heat of her, the first sound he’d made since he’d first put his mouth to the sensitive skin of her thighs.

She curled her fingers a little tighter, tugging and the fistful of strands and he moaned again. His tongue left her, and Beth whined out a sound of protest.

“Beth,” he rasped, so close she could still feel his lips brushing against her inner folds.

“Your tongue,” was all Beth could manage to gasp out, fingers clenching and stroking at Daryl’s hair in alternate turns. “I need.”

He hummed in reply and Beth could feel it all the way to her toes. Her legs clenched around his head as dipped back in, his tongue swirling inside her, feeling her walls contract around it. His nose brushed against her clit and she couldn’t help but twitch her hips, grinding ever so softly against his face, far more restrained than she’d thought she could manage in the state she was in.

Daryl’s fingers tightened against her thighs again, hard enough to bruise and Beth moaned when he lifted her by the legs again, readjusting them. When he settled her again, it wasn’t his tongue that she felt, but the tentative brush of his fingers, thick and already slick with her own juices. He circled his fingers in a slow pattern, too slow and Beth groaned in frustration before he finally delved inside of her. Beth Barely had time to think before his mouth was on her clit, that flat of his tongue a gentle and resuming pressure that made Beth’s back arch, her hips bucking into the feel of it.

“Beth,” he moaned against her, a second finger slipping inside her next the first, finally giving her something close to the stretch she’d been yearning for.

“Please,” she whined, hips grinding against his fist as his fingers fucked into her again and again, the rhythm of it steady and so much slower than the staccato of her heartbeat, the sharp, desperate breaths that never quite filled her lungs. As though nothing could truly fill her but Daryl. 

When his mouth pressed against her again, Beth could have sworn he laid a feather-light kiss before his lips enveloped her clit, slow and careful. The heat of his mouth, the feeling of his fingers in her, Beth could feel her whole body singing with it, her every nerve alight and her muscles trembling. Holding her sensitive nub between his lips, Daryl began to slide his tongue over it, and the sound that tore from Beth’s throat was a sob, hot tears of overwhelming desperation welling his her eyes.

It was teetering on the edge of too much, Daryl’s tongue changing directions with every other stroke and his fingers keeping that perfect, steady rythym. The sensation alone was enough to drive her crazy, her thighs already trembling for it, but the way Daryl moved, the way he looked at her. Like he was a devout man on his knees worshipping a god. And that thought was as fitting as it was sacrilege, laid out as she was on top of the altar table, knowing she would be leaving a stain on the altar cloth beneath her bare body. But every whimper, every moan that rose from her chest and fell from her lips was met with a look of pure adoration, as if he was seeing something awe-inducing in her reactions to him. Something in her sweat-soaked and flushed features, her trembling muscles, and needy gasps that he wanted to savour, that he craved more of in a hunger that might only be sated somewhere between her thighs.

I hate tagging because it s t r e s s e s me out. But 'm gonna tag you @im-immortal just because you tag me so often and I feel guilty I never tag back. obviously you can ignore this lol

Chapter 8: Bury, Bury, Bury Another

After so many years apart, Beth and Daryl must find small ways to remember who they were, what they've lost, and what they stand to become.

Masterpost

*There will be at least one more chapter of this story. We are nearing the end, but the end is long. I keep adding chapters and I don't feel bad about it.

*You can find my updated playlist for "afterglow" on spotify, which includes each song from Lizzy Dixon's set list so far.

Taylor Swift released her new album and it's kind of Bethyl coded?? Now I know I'm the ultimate delulu here but hear me out lol

"The Alchemy" - "what if I told you I'm back? The hospital was a drag.. I circled you on a map, I haven't come around in so long.." hospital is Grady obv and the map thing it's a big symbolism we've seen around her multiple times, even in the Bulletproof Picasso music vid.

Next we have the Black Dog - the title kind of tells me something but I don't know what that might be, anyway you can read below the lines of the song " someone plays the The Starting Line, but she's too young to know the song.. And I may never open up thw way I did for you, you said I needed a brave man.." this is pretty much self explanatory, but the starting line made me think about new beginnings (?)

Next "Clara Bow" ".. Half moonshine, a full eclipse" that's so sus to me "you look like Taylor Swift in this light" Emily has been compared to the Taylor swift of the show a few times in interviews!

Next "The manuscript" - "in the age of him she wished she was thirty and made coffee every morning in a French press." not sure how to read this except for the obvious age difference and French reference. "Since she was so wise beyond her years.. And the years passed like scenes of a show... Looking backwards might be the only way to move forward" again pretty self explanatory.

Next, "Who's afraid of little old me?" this song made me think about the theory of Beth holding resentment towards the group for abandoning one of their own "the scandal was contained, the bullet had just grazed... You don't get to tell me you feel bad... Is it a wonder I broke?"

Then we have "But Daddy I Love him" it's about a girl wanting a relationship with someone but everyone is against it one of the lines says "dutiful daughter, all my plans were laid.. Tendrils tucked into a woven braid" which we know Beth often had braids

Next we got "imgonnagetyouback" - "whether I'm gonna be your wife or gonna smash up your bike I haven't decide yet but I'm gonna get you back... Bygones will be bygones, eras fading into gray" grays it's obviously a big color symbolism for Beth, and that's not the only song that mentions gray

Next we got "How did it end?" - "We hereby conduct this post mortem... We'll tell no one except all of our friends, we must know. How did it end?" kind of made me think about Beth's supposed death and the mistery around it.

Another song named "The Prophecy" has a line that says "a greater woman stays cool, but I howl like a wolf at the moon"🐺🐺

Also she released a poem about this album that is also kind of familiar:

“He was in love with her/ Or at least she thought so/ She was brokenhearted/ Maybe he was too/ Neither of them knew. She was way too hot to handle/ He was way too high to try —/ He couldn’t even see her/ He wouldn’t open his eyes/ She was on her way to the stars/ He didn’t say goodbye”.

Something interesting I found out about Taylor is that she worked with the TWD makeup team to become a zombie for her music video "Look what you made me do".

That's about it, I'm cringing at myself for this in-depth delulu analysis that is probably not even a thing in the slightest but anywho, I'm delulu for a reason 💀💀K byee
