Title: Five Times Beth and Daryl Weren't Virtual Strangers Before the Prison Fell (and the One Time They Still Weren't)
Author: Abelina/Abby/Abelinajt
Fandom/Pairing: The Walking Dead - Beth Greene & Daryl Dixon (friendship/pre-Bethyl)
Setting: Seasons 3 and 4.
Rating: T/PG13
Summary: A series of (eventually) six ficlets set during the prison-era, showing interactions between Beth and Daryl. I don't buy into the theory that they never spoke, despite what little we saw of that on the show. They spent the winter as part of the same small group, and were both part of the core group setting up the prison.
Notes: I wrote this before I went back and watched the episode it’s set around, so it doesn’t fit as nicely into canon as I like, but I’m going for it anyway. This is set during the season 3 episode Seed, as a missing scene. Although during the scene where they’re settling into the cells, Rick says they’ll search further in the morning, let’s say they give it a day to clean up their cellblock a bit before they search for the cafeteria and infirmary (during which time Hershel gets bitten and they find the other prisoners). This would then be placed the afternoon after that cell-picking scene but the day before they explore the prison and Hershel gets bitten.

1 – A Dog with a Bone
Beth heard the echo of footsteps long before the door to cellblock C creaked open. She looked up from the stack of clothing to find Carl on his way in, and smiled at the boy as he approached.
“Beth,” he said, grinning wide. “I found something for you.”
He pulled his hands out from behind his back, holding a somewhat scraggly bouquet of wildflowers inside a makeshift vase. The thing looked like a mix of plumbing and automobile parts with a bow of twine wrapped around it, and with a little smile she realized Carl must have made it.
“Oh, they’re so pretty, Carl, thank you!” She took the flowers and their Frankenstein vase and set them down on the table where she was working.
