Ultimate Bethyl Fic List

One Stop Shop for Bethyl FanWorks

Can you help me maybe find an older bethyl fic I read a long time ago? It was Daryl as a sort of agent of some kind that was undercover to look after Merle. Beth’s dad gets killed and she gets put under Daryl’s protection while Andrea takes Shawn and Glenn takes Maggie. That’s about the extent of what I can remember besides Beth has to pretend to be Daryl’s girlfriend.

Do you mean Spiced Molasses by MonDieu666?

Here is the link for FFN

& here is the link for AO3

Please let me know if this isn’t it so we can try to find the correct fic!

INTEREST CHECK. I've been kicking around the idea of putting together a Bethyl zine. It would be free and fully digital with optional donation links to 3 (vetted) charities dedicated to feeding Palestine, Sudan, and Lebanon. Anyone who wants to contribute can, even if you don't want to write or draw something you can submit cosplays, Bethyl inspired recipes or anything else you like so long as it follows the theme of "summer". If you're interested in participating, have questions, or anything like that, please shoot me a DM!

Hey! Help finding a fic? It was set in the prison, Beth is awake in her cell in the middle of the night and Daryl walks in on her masturbating. It's awkward for a minute, then smut ensues. I *think* I remember seeing @dynamicsymmetry mentioned in the author's note somewhere, and I definitely remember an inspo gif, but I can't remember the name of it. Thanks!

Is it The Fourth Night by burningupasun?

hi! do you know of any fics where beth lives, but no one knows until daryl gets taken by the saviors and sees that she’s one of negan’s wives? thanks!

Fog on the Windows by thedevilyouknow106

this fic fits that description pretty perfectly, but if our followers have other recommendations, please leave them in the comments of this post!

[ultimatebethylficlist]

What’s some of your favourite prison era fics? I’d love to start reading some. Thank you

I'm pretty new to the Fandom and have recently fallen into an obsession with Bethyl. Unhealthy, probably. Anywho- I'm in the mood for a type of fic, and figured this was the best place to ask. We all know Daryl isn't big on large public emotional displays, but that's what I'm craving. Think like- the fight they had outside of the cabin, but the group is there. Maybe he knows, maybe he doesn't. Maybe she gets hurt and can't hide what they have anymore. Anything. I enjoy seeing the groups reactions, especially when they see how Beth affects him. I know that is oddly specific, but here we are 😅

if anyone knows of any that also fit this, please comment!

Moonshine Awards Nominations: Friendly Reminder!

Just a friendly reminder for everyone submitting nominations in the Moonshine Awards:

Authors are limited to ONE fic nominated per category, so please choose wisely!

Once nominations close, any fics nominated in the categories that are from the same author will be narrowed down by counting whichever fic got the MOST nominations in that category. If there is a tie, we will contact the author personally to ask which fic they'd prefer to be put up for voting.

We do this to ensure a fair chance for all authors, and to make voting a little more fun as far as not having a single author compete with themselves or dominate entire categories.

So please, ONE author's fic per category! :)

Nominations close January 18th!

I need help finding this fic! It was an older one I believe it stopped updating in 2021 or 2020. It was in a modern au. Beth was a babysitter for Rick and she found out she got knocked up by Daryl after she invited him over while Hershel and Maggie were out of town I believe. The only chapter I remember was when they went to planned parenthood (Rick took Beth) and they ran into her ex Jimmy and him and I think a few others were protesting how girls shouldn’t get abortions and Beth got pissed off at him. I remember that and that she wanted Daryl to coparent with her. The fic was on ao3. Please and thank you!

Wow, I think I actually know this one and can be helpful for once lmao

Moonshine Awards 2025: Nominations NOW OPEN!

Nominations for the 10th Annual Moonshine Awards are NOW OPEN!

Nominations close at 11:59pm PST on January 18th. Eligible nominations will be announced and voting will begin on January 19th.

Click here to nominate your favorite fics and fanart from 2025!

Please be sure to read the rules before nominating:

There is no limit to how many fics can be nominated per category.

Most categories have one for Completed works and one for In Progress works. Completed works must have been completed between January 1st, 2025 and December 31st, 2025. Works In Progress must have been updated at least once between January 1st, 2025 and December 31st, 2025.

If there is only one category, nominated fics can be either Complete or WIP.

Fics can be nominated in multiple categories.

First Place winners of previous years’ categories are ineligible for nomination. Second and Third Place winners are still eligible.

Yearly “Exclusive” categories are open for fics from any year, regardless of previous wins.

Authors are limited to ONE fic nominated per category, so choose wisely.

Please nominate a specific piece of fan art for the Fan Art categories, preferably with a link to the source. We will NOT count general artist nominations for any category except Artist of the Year.

Please do not spam the same nomination in any categories - even a single nomination means the fic/author will be listed in the poll for voting.

Addendums to the rules this year:

The yearly exclusive category for 2025, as voted by you, is Best First Kiss. This category is for any fic that you think had the best first kiss between Beth and Daryl. Fics from all years are eligible.

We have once again included categories for nominations of Best Fan Art ZA and Best Fan Art AU, as well as Artist of The Year. However, if there are not at least 2 (two) different nominations for each category, they will be omitted once voting commences. Last year, there was only a single nomination in each fan art category, therefore the categories were excluded altogether. If there are too few nominations to keep the ZA and AU categories separate, they will be consolidated into one general category for Best Fan Art and all nominees will be listed for voting. The same applies for Artist of The Year.

If you have any questions, please feel free to reach out to us. And remember: you can nominate as many and as often as you want!
