Beth: You got to stay who you are, not who you were. Places like this, you have to put it away.
Daryl: What if you can't?
Beth: You have to. Or it kills you.

Bethyl Fanfic: When the Walls Come Down
Summary:
After the fall of the prison, Beth Greene and Daryl Dixon found something fragile in each other — trust, hope, maybe even the beginning of something more.
Then the funeral home became a trap.
Beth survives the attack that should have taken her from him, but escaping is only the beginning. With Daryl wounded and danger pressing in from every side, the two of them are forced onto the road alone. In the days that follow, Beth learns to hunt, to fight, to kill, and to live with the parts of herself survival has awakened. Daryl, still haunted by how close he came to losing her, begins to let her closer than he has ever allowed anyone.
Their journey back to Rick’s group is marked by blood, fear, tenderness, and the quiet realization that whatever existed between them before has become impossible to ignore.
But reunion does not mean peace.
Alexandria is waiting. So are the Wolves. Dwight. Negan. And a world that will keep asking what they are willing to do — and who they are willing to become — to protect the people they love.
Beth Greene survived.
Now she has to decide what kind of life she is fighting for.
