Summary
Daryl leans his elbows on the rusted iron railing in front of him.
The railing runs around the perimeter of the western guard tower, like a widow's walk, where he stands, keeping watch. He takes a final drag on his cigarette, then drops it onto the cement floor, crushing it under the toe of his boot.
There are two other cigarette butts lying beside it.
Hell of a waste, seein' as she ain't comin’.
Christ, he's an idiot.

Summary
Nebraska Territory, 1866.
The sky here is so enormous, it's almost frightening.
It is no advantage, as far as Beth can tell, to see doom approaching from so vast a distance, when there is nowhere to flee that it cannot reach you.

Summary
When starting out with a new client, she likes to go the extra mile to make a good impression. To make her office a safe place for them to be. To make herself a safe person for them.
To do everything in her power to make it possible for her to help them.
Because she has to help people. It's her job, yes, but more than that, it's her calling. It's necessary that she help every person whose file ends up on her desk. The alternative is unthinkable.
Unacceptable.

Summary
It starts the moment Daryl touches her shoulder in the hallway at Grady.
So strange.
All those weeks together, just the two of them, and it simply never occurred to her.
Never occurred to her that she mattered to him.
Never occurred to her to want.[A 5x08 Coda/Beth Lives AU]

Summary
It’s just a pick-up from a dealer...
Sure, she's never so much as taken a hit off a joint or even had a beer in her life, but hey. What this Merle guy doesn't know won't hurt him. She can fake it.
Probably.
