Daryl couldn't stop chewing at his lips to save his life, and his heart skipped a beat when he felt Rick's weight settle onto the mattress beside him.
Sweet by CunningLinguist
Daryl and Rick share a bed when they are forced to spend the night away from the group after a run. Daryl has a wet dream, and Rick is extremely understanding.

What Rick is offering is exactly the thing Daryl has always been searching for.
Scattered Ashes by Bennyhatter
Daryl hasn't said a word since the day he woke up in the middle of the woods and his entire life was changed. He can't really call himself a vampire, because garlic and crosses don't bother him at all, and he has yet to burst into flames during the day. He isn't human anymore, though.
How do you keep a secret like that from a paranoid group of people in the midst of the damn apocalypse?

Ironic; the softer-hearted of the two of them was the man currently sawing a rabbit's head from it's neck.
Hyperion by Myurra
Rick's caught in a web, trapped between his troubled son and the unintentional distance he's put between himself and the others by picking up a shovel instead of a gun.
Rec Notes: The story is a contemplative look into Rickâs angst around the end of season 3. Coupled with the fact that Rick and Daryl are at odds until the very end, it can be kind of serious. That being said, the writing was done in a pleasing literary style, and it had a really strong, satisfying ending.

Words and Not Deeds series by lettered
The apocalypse didnât happen, and so Carol remains in an abusive relationship. When Daryl meets her, he finds himself in a position to help her. Wanting to help Carol also, Rick enlists Darylâs aid. Sophia just wants to be a normal twelve-year-old.
Darylâs never had this many people counting on him before. It changes him, though heâll never be what Rick seems to think he is.
Rec Notes: I was initially going to rec just the first story in this series âThe Sky Begins to Roarâ. It reads like a drama/suspense novel with a trouble main character (Daryl) while the second in the series âThe Door Begins to Crackâ is more of a romance novel. âThe Sky Begins to Roarâ is amazing as a standalone, but I decided that the series is best when itâs taken all together.
The series is Daryl-centric and is mostly about his character development driven by the compelling plot. His growth is so gradual and realistic that it becomes really satisfying to get to the end where he believes that maybe he does deserve love.
The romance is definitely slow burn, but it had a shockingly sexy and well-earned resolution. There were so many times I wanted to reach through the screen and just shake them, but when they finally got their shit together...dang.

So there arenât Walkers. Zombies. The world⊠hasnât ended.â âNo, of course not,â the doctor says, smiling. âThat was all a dream. Welcome back to the world, Mr. Grimes.
Shadows Where I Stand by Skarlatha
After the events of "This Sorrowful Life," Rick wakes up in the hospital with the name of the man he can't live without forgotten on his lips and a doctor telling him that the last two years have been a dream. He then begins the long, arduous process of readjusting to life in the real world, but he can't get the image of the beautiful archer out of his head and soon signs start to appear that the dream may actually be real. Could Rick actually find his hunter? Could they actually have a shot at a happy ending? And will Rick finally be able to tell Daryl that he is the love of his life?
Fandom Classic=Must Read
The pacing of Rick slowly realizing through memories and dreams how much he loves/needs Daryl is so well done its effortless. P-I-N-I-N-G

If it meant a serious chance at being with Rick, Daryl could risk it. He could. He could be a man, take the plunge, and ask Rick to be with him. He could⊠He could ease into it. He could test the waters first, maybeâŠtry flirting with him...He just had to figure out how you flirt with a man. Gay guys did it all the time, so it couldnât be that hard to learn, right?

If Daryl had known before the apocalypse that he'd fall in love with a man, he'd have watched porn or something so he could figure out how the shit you're supposed to flirt with one.
(Alternatively: 5 ways that Daryl tried to flirt with Rick, and 1 way that finally got his attention.)
This is hilarious and so sweet. It makes me smile from minute one and I never stop through the whole thing.Â

Donât Let Me Die Still Wondering
Daryl glances up at him and Rick takes in a sharp breath despite himself, lost for a moment in a sea of deep, dark blue. Nothing like the painting, Rick thinks, that has a color that was too dull, too even and not nearly dark enough, more like the colors of oceans and rivers and not like this--the dark feel of damp denim thatâs been worn and used not because it was needed, but because it was loved, because it was comfortable and it fit.
Left of Center, Bullseye on Hearts by Michelle_A_Emerlind
When Daryl and Rick meet, sparks fly and the chemistry is so thick it could be cut with a knife. The only problem? Rick is still stuck in a failing marriage and Daryl is trying to make it work for the millionth time with Shane, even though this attraction to Rick doesn't just feel like lust--it feels something more like love. But with everything stacked against them, do they even have a chance?
I put off reading this one for way too long because I wasnât sure how I felt about Shane/Daryl, and man do I regret it. (Daryl calling Shane a âD*cklickerâ in chapter 1 made me laugh for ages and I was hooked) This fic was awesome. It was so romantic and packed with forbidden love type pining, my heart nearly burst. I thought it was cool that the author didnât go the obvious route with Shane and Lori either.Â

Canât blame Darylâs mind for going somewhere dirty when Rick says âOn meâ while charging into a fight. Heâs not the only one.
"I didnât know it was a joke, alright? I didnât want to be accused of anything. Can we drop it?â Rick said as he continued to pace. âAre youâare youâŠactually in love with me?â Daryl finally managed to piece together. âNo. Donât be dumb,â Rick spat.
If Only by SherriffsRevolver
Rick and Daryl end up trapped in an abandoned house while they wait out a passing herd. The stress of their precarious situation gets to Rick and he lets slip something Daryl was never meant to know.
I love Darylâs characterization in this fic. So often we get Daryl as a blushing virgin whose pining after Rick, but in this fic, heâs closer to what we see in early canon. Brash, foulmouthed, angry. I like that they donât fall into each otherâs arms while the romantic score swells. Itâs a fight, with themselves and with each other, all the way to the (happy) end.

To Wrangle a Dixon by Violet_Rose
"Morninâ sunshine.â Darylâs reaction is instantaneous and unrestrained. Every visible bit of skin turns bright red, and he bites his lip so hard Rick is half convinced he will draw blood. In contrast, the colour drains entirely from Rickâs face as he scrambles to think of something to say that wonât make the situation worse. He can hardly explain that the word slipped out because he was unexpectedly struck by how beautiful Daryl looked.
Donât Let Me Die Still Wondering by Orphan_account
An unusual exchange prompts Rick to put his detective skills to the test to unravel one of the many mysteries of Daryl Dixon.
50k of Rick doting on shy, blushing Daryl. My cheeks hurt from smiling after reading this.
