..Daryl/Beth.. AU - no zombies. From the "Cornerstone" universe. Daryl began to smirk again. "Now, real estate agents call 'em modular homes. Sounds classier that way." Beth could tell that he was greatly amused by that, having spent his entire life living in nothing except trailers, and a smile bloomed across her face.

..Daryl/Beth - AU Zombies.. Dixon blood is cursed. No one knows that better than Daryl and now, his niece and nephew know that, too, when they come to live with him. Daryl has never had kids before but he's going to do the best he can because it's what they deserve. But maybe reading some parenting books won't hurt. Maybe the pretty librarian could help him pick the best ones.

..Daryl/Beth.. AU - No Zombies. "You think I got good veins?" He asked her and the question caused a smile to burst across her face. "Let's see," she said and he offered her his arm. She turned it over and grazed her fingers along his skin as she studied the blue of his veins. Daryl stared at the top of her head and damn near shivered from her touch.

..Daryl/Beth.. AU - No Zombies. It'd be easy for Daryl to blame his own shitty parents and his shitty childhood. It's be easy to just fall back on being a Dixon and that be reason enough for everything he messed up.

..Daryl/Beth.. AU - No Zombies. New to town, Beth is immediately thankful for her across-the-street neighbor when he helps her unload her U-Haul and she is excited when she finds out they'll be teaching at the same high school. But when she finds out Daryl is dating someone, Beth backs away. She is not the kind of woman to even have a crush on an unavailable man.

..Daryl/Beth.. "Fifty Four Days" World. She was scared. Her heart wouldn't stop pounding. But even scared, Dixons kept going. So that's what she did. She put her pack back on, she held her knife tightly and with a deep breath, Cecily began walking forward, keeping her eyes on a sharp lookout for shelter, for walkers, and for strangers.

..Daryl/Beth.. Random one-shots from my various Daryl Dixon and Beth Greene stories.

..Daryl/Beth.. From the "House Call" series. It never occurred to Luke that they were poor. There was no reason for him to even consider it. They lived in a house with a roof over their heads that didn't leak when it rained. The house was small but it was perfect for the three of them and was always warm and dry and safe.

..Daryl/Beth.. "Fifty Four Days" World. First, he fell in love with her smile. Then, he fell in love with her cooking. And then, finally, he fell in love with her.

..Daryl/Beth - AU Zombies.. She took a deep breath and sheathed her knife again. She leaned in a little closer to him. "I'm Beth and I'm going to help you."

..Daryl/Beth.. From the "House Call" series. She knew, as their relationship began and they fell in love and even after they got married, Daryl tried to keep her from the Dixon side of his life – which was ridiculous to Beth because the Dixon side was his side and now, she was his wife and shared the same last name. His family was her family and vice versa.

..Daryl/Beth.. AU - No Zombies. 1920 - Savannah. He knew that if he married her – and he knew that he did want to do that – he would have to tell her some things. How she would react to it, that was still a mystery to him. Beth was just… good. And how would she feel about it if she was seeing a man who did the things that Daryl did?

..Daryl/Beth.. AU - no zombies. It's been a long time since Daryl's dated. His life is his job and being with his son every other weekend. Beth is the first woman he's met that he has shown true interest in and he knows he wants her sticking around in his life. He just hopes that his son likes her as much.

..Daryl/Beth.. AU - no zombies. From "Bruises". Since moving to the trailer park, this was the first time Beth would be hosting and she admitted, she was nervous. For what reason, she had absolutely no idea. She and George had lived here for a few months now and more than loved it. It was perfect and these people had become their friends.

A brief explanation of things.

..Daryl/Beth.. AU - no zombies. When Beth came over one night and told him that she was pregnant, the same thing happened. Daryl knew exactly what he needed to do and he knew exactly what he wanted to do. But again, he couldn't. He couldn't ask her to marry him. He figured that deep down, he knew that marrying him wasn't the thing that Beth should do.

..Daryl/Beth.. S3 AU - zombies. She was just a part of their group; one of ten people he had to keep alive and safe. And she was carrying their soon-to-be eleventh member. He kept them all fed and alive. Talking to her hadn't been a necessary part of the job.

AU - zombies. He knew her cowboy boots were killing her feet. They weren't the best for as much walking as they were doing and when it came to running, she might as well not have worn any shoes at all. But they were all she had right now. Getting her a better pair of anything was at the top of his list; a list that already had plenty of things already at the top of it.

..Daryl/Beth.. "Fifty Four Days" World. Daryl shakes his head and his eyes land on Eli and like Beth, he seems unable to stop looking at their son. Their son. Beth smiles at just the thought. Who would have ever thought that she and Daryl would be here, together, and would have a baby together?

..Daryl/Beth.. AU - no zombies. Follow-up to "Fight to Win". He and Beth had never talked about moving. Daryl had lived in Georgia his whole life and he loved living in Georgia. He couldn't imagine living anywhere else. And yet… yet…

..Daryl/Beth.. AU - no zombies. The woman spun towards him, her eyes wide as if he had just solved a Rubix cube in under a minute; like it was some great puzzle as to the situation this woman and boy were in. (He wished his own mom and him had been in this kind of situation, but instead, his mom had stayed with the old man so they could keep getting the shit beat out of them.)

..Daryl/Beth.. S4 - post "Alone". A one-shot. The funeral home wasn't a trap, Beth was never taken, and both Daryl and Beth decide to hang around for a while.

..Daryl/Beth.. A follow-up one shot to "Bump". She then looked to Daryl. "Will you be alright with all three girls for a little bit?" She asked her husband. It was an unnecessary question to ask, she knew, but she asked it anyway – just in case.

..Daryl/Beth.. AU - zombies. Their weekend getaway cabin in the middle of nowhere is the best place to be when the evacuations start, but Daryl and Beth know they can't stay there. They have to get back to the farm, check on Hershel and somehow, they have to find Merle, too.

"Fifty Four Days" World. "I just want to see it," Beth shakes her head. "I can't… even if people have ransacked it, and I'm sure, by now, there's nothing useful left, there will still be things that no one would want. Pictures of my family, personal things… I want those things, Rosita. I'm the… I'm the only one left," she then whispers, her tears nearly flooding over.

..Daryl/Beth.. From the "House Call" series. One-shot. Hunter listens to his parents – but just barely. For the most part, the kid does whatever the hell he wants. There's a freedom to the way that Hunter lives his life that Kyle understands and gravitates towards.

..Daryl/Beth.. AU to episode 3x04 "Killer Within". "Have you done this before?" She then questions Beth and Beth remembers the way the woman had questioned her daddy back at the farm, when Carl needed that surgery. "Helped deliver a baby in a prison boiler room? First time. You?" Beth does her best to make a joke.

..Daryl/Beth.. AU - no zombies. From the "Cornerstone" universe. Daryl sometimes had to wonder though if she would ever want to move out of there and get themselves another home; an actual kind of home and not something with "trailer" used when being described to others of where they lived.

..Daryl/Beth.. From "Waiting on You". They might all be on the same team, but at the end of the day, that actually means little. They all want their daughters to be the top dancer on the team and while understandable, they're also prepared to just about stab anyone to make sure their daughter gets there.

..Daryl/Beth.. From the "House Call" series. Daryl knows that Beth will take time in getting used to this. A bubble bath, a new toothbrush, new clothes just for him that weren't hand-me-downs from someone else – it's all completely new to Luke and he's going to react to everything new like it's the best thing in the world.

..Daryl/Beth.. AU S9. Daryl didn't doubt that Dog would now blindly follow Beth to the ends of the earth. The animal wasn't the only one.

..Daryl/Beth.. AU - no zombies. Historical fiction. "If I loved you, words wouldn't come in an easy way. Round in circles I'd go. Longin' to tell you, but afraid and shy. I'd let my golden chances pass me by."

..Daryl/Beth.. From the "House Call" series. They don't say anything, but Daryl lies there and he can hear Beth's mind racing a million miles a minute. It's moments like this that he hates that Beth didn't decide to marry someone a little bit better for her than Daryl Dixon; someone who would be able to give her anything and everything.

..Daryl/Beth.. AU - no zombies. Everyone gets lonely, she reminds herself. It comes and goes and it's nothing to dwell on. And her always watching Daryl Dixon – anticipating seeing him every Sunday – is just because she's lonely. She knows it doesn't mean anything. How can it? He barely looks at her, let alone talks to her.

..Daryl/Beth.. "Fifty Four Days" World. Everyone just left him in peace when Aaron lost himself in these moods and he would return to his normal self within a day or two, but for the time that Aaron locked himself in his room and didn't show himself to anyone, the cabin walls, somehow, felt tighter; as if it was a worried mother wringing her hands over one of her children.

..Daryl/Beth.. From the "House Call" series. This is her home and being here, in her home – alone and at night – she is not going to be afraid.

..Daryl/Beth.. AU - no zombies. The Greene Family Tree Farm is open from the first Friday after Thanksgiving until December 23rd and in that time, people from all over come - mainly to cut down their Christmas trees, but also to watch if this is the year Hershel Greene's daughter, Beth, and the farmhand, Daryl Dixon, finally make a move on one another.

..Daryl/Beth.. AU - no zombies. One-shot. She's beautiful. Long blonde hair. Big blue eyes. Pale skin. Petite body. He wishes he had turned around sooner. And there's a white sash worn across her chest: MS. GEORGIA.

..Daryl/Beth.. Prison Era. . If those in C-Block were the cool kids of the prison, Daryl was the bad boy that all the women swooned over and there were definitely those who swooned. Daryl didn't seem to notice though and if he did – which he probably did because the tracker noticed everything – he ignored it completely.

..Jon/Sansa.. Modern AU. She began to step away from him, but Jon stopped her, his hands still holding her head. "Do not be angry with me," he said in a low, quiet voice. "I'm not angry," she shook her head. "I'm… disappointed." "That's even worse," he nearly cringed at both the word and the idea of Sansa ever being such a thing in regards to him.

..Daryl/Beth.. AU - no zombies. He calls after her, but she keeps on walking without sparing a look back in his direction. She knows he won't follow after her. He's not the type. He's the type to watch his girlfriend storm out into the unknown and not do anything to stop her besides shouting her name; as if that will do anything.

..Daryl/Beth.. A one-shot from the "House Call" universe. "I'm going to get my laptop and we are going to start researching the real estate websites," Maggie informs her. "We are finding you another house."

A short announcement to those who read my stories, concerning Matt and Anna from the "54 Days" universe.

..Daryl/Beth.. A one-shot from "Bump". They'll then look to Beth, ready for her to complain, too, about Daryl, but the thing is that Beth can hardly find reason to. Daryl's not perfect. Of course he isn't. But the thing is, he tries to be – for both her and their daughters.

..Daryl/Beth.. Au - no zombies. From "Not a Bad Thing". An epilogue of sorts. "This is so stupid, doing this," Beth says. "No one cares about my book. It's not like I'm the next Ann Rule or someone like that." "Not with that attitude," Daryl replies with a shrug.

..Daryl/Beth.. AU - no zombies. Two shot. He works hard every day and then goes to a quiet home that's all his and sometimes, he'll drive past The Greene Thumb and try to get a look at the pretty blonde inside.

..Daryl/Beth.. AU - no zombies. He smoked and rode a motorcycle and spoke as if he chewed on gravel. He was everything none of her ex-boyfriends – all two of them – had ever been and Beth knew she probably wasn't the only woman in this bar with a crush on the surly, handsome bartender.

..Daryl/Beth.. Third story in the "Fifty Four Days" and "A New Day" world. "Bring me warm rain and dried lavender and you. I want you most of all." - Emery Allen

..Daryl/Beth.. From the "House Call" series. Abby gets asked out on her first date and decides to go. Hunter and Merle decide to spy and Daryl and Beth are just looking forward to a few hours together at home, alone.

..Daryl/Beth.. A follow-up one shot to "Bump". This is Beth's biggest fear and she has always been so scared of it happening, and now, it's actually happening.

..Daryl/Beth.. AU - no zombies. Sequel to "Band Aids and Coconut Cake". Even after his ex-girlfriend admitted to cheating on him, Daryl doesn't let the past rule his current relationship with Beth. He trusts her. But that doesn't mean that he has to trust the new guy Beth has hired to help her at her vet practice. What kind of guy calls himself Jesus anyway?

..Daryl/Beth.. AU - no zombies. As the building manager in a newly renovated apartment building, it's Daryl Dixon's job to make sure that things are working properly for all of the tenants. It's his job to unclog the shower drain in apartment A2. It's not his job to wonder where her boyfriend or husband is when she asks if he can help her put a baby crib together.

..Daryl/Beth.. "Survivor" AU - no zombies. "So, I guess this means we're in an alliance together," Beth beams up at him. "Guess so," he shrugs as they start to walk back to where their camp is being set up, making sure they pick up sticks along the way so everyone else will think they were just off, looking for firewood.

..Daryl/Beth.. "Fifty Four Days" World. "Daryl Dixon-" Beth began to say, but Daryl swiftly leaned in and gave her a kiss on the lips, cutting off whatever words she was going to say next. "We'll be back soon," he gave her a smile and then turned, heading over to meet Eli at the fence.

..Daryl/Beth.. No Zombies. She feels used. She feels stupid. And most of all, she feels more than hurt. She's crushed.

..Daryl/Beth.. "Fifty Four Days" World. "I like babying all of you though," she confessed though it wasn't much of a confession because Daryl already knew that. "Makes me feel important," she then said in a quieter tone. "You're the most important person left in this whole damn world," he told her lowly and she felt her stomach somersault as he leaned down and kissed her once more.

..Daryl/Beth.. AU - No zombies. Beth Greene loves her life. She is able to perform on stage to packed crowds every night and this is her dream.

..Daryl/Beth.. From the "House Call" universe. "'m sorry for snappin' at you, Beth, but I'm not sorry for what I said," Daryl continued, his eyes set straightforward through the windshield to the road as Beth continued looking at him. "I ain't gonna be the only warm-blooded male seein' you today, wearin'… that."

..Daryl/Beth.. From the "House Call" Universe. Between Annette and Maggie, Beth had been more than prepared and when it had happened, she wasn't scared or even surprised. Goodness, had she just failed her only daughter by not preparing her more?

..Daryl/Beth.. From the "House Call" Universe. To most of the people living here, that didn't matter. He was Will Dixon's son and Merle Dixon's little brother and to them, that was all he would ever be. And now, somehow, he had duped sweet Beth Greene in marrying him and ruining her life and he was no better than any of the other white trash.

..Daryl/Beth.. AU - no zombies. There were rules for the staff of the high school and one of them was a particularly big one. No dating between staff members. No nothing. So, she couldn't even have a hot, meaningless one-night stand with this man in front of her even if they both wanted it.

..Daryl/Beth.. AU - no zombies. After a breakup with his girlfriend, Daryl Dixon is left with nothing except a broken heart and their once-shared chocolate Lab, Louis.

But Louis has other ideas when he has a run-in with a porcupine and has to go see the new vet in town, Dr. Beth Greene.

..Daryl/Beth.. A follow-up to "Catch Me" in which Daryl makes a new friend, Daryl and Beth are trying to get pregnant and Matty's not sure if he wants to play football anymore.

..Daryl/Beth.. From the "House Call" series. Abby wished that Hunter would stop caring what people said about her. For the most part, Abby had stopped caring a long time ago.

..Daryl/Beth.. From "Fifty Four Days". Anna thought that over for a moment, with a faintly furrowed brow. They were lucky. She knew that much. They had food and a garden and Lucky the goat with her milk and Beth knew all of the berries, bark, greens and flowers in the woods that were safe to eat and they had Daryl, who was able to hunt them rabbits and deer.

..Daryl/Beth.. S4. It's been just them for fifty four days. Fifty four days of getting closer. Fifty four days of walking, still trying to find any of their family, still trying to not just survive. But to live. Fifty four days before Beth starts coughing and Daryl knows that he'll do anything to get them another fifty four days together.

..House Call Universe.. One-shot. It's rare that Beth and Abby are the only two home and Beth is going to relish in it.

..Daryl/Beth.. AU - no zombies. 1945. The war is over and soldiers are flooding home, ready to pick up the lives they have had on hold for the past few years. Daryl Dixon has no life to return to and no plans of what he is going to do with himself. When he meets Hershel Greene, and the man offers him a job on his farm, Daryl has no reason to turn him down.

..Daryl/Beth.. From the "House Call" series. "Really don't belong here," Daryl murmurs, taking another look around. Beth squeezes his hand, pulling it onto her lap and holding it with both of hers. "You belong with me," she tells him with a soft smile and Daryl looks at her. She knows he doesn't know what to say so he doesn't say anything but he squeezes her hand back.

..Daryl/Beth.. AU - no zombies. Beth is a young single mother who is trying to get her baking business off the ground. She works from home and is observant of those around her. She knows of the two men who live in the apartment across from her. One comes home late at night, drunk and stumbling into walls, and the other is quiet, hardly speaking at all.

..Daryl/Beth.. From the "House Call" series. From the second she got a flat tire on the way back to her family's farm and Daryl Dixon stepped from the woods in the middle of his hunting, she looked at him and she knew that this man was going to change her whole life.

..Daryl/Beth.. AU - no zombies. From "Fight to Win" in which Grandma Liv never died and Daryl brings Beth to meet her. A parallel universe is a theory of a self-contained separate reality co-existing with one's own.

..Daryl/Beth.. AU - no zombies. Follow-up to "Fight to Win". Family and fluff. If Beth hadn't mentioned her dreams of a spring wedding, she knew she and Daryl would be married already. And him wanting to give her what she wanted just made her love him all the more.

..Daryl/Beth.. Zombie AU to "House Call". Daryl always knew that he would do anything to keep his family safe. And now that the world has ended, Daryl is finding out just what exactly "anything" means.

..Daryl/Beth.. AU. From "The Orchard". "You have it all mapped out already?" Beth couldn't help but show her surprise. For some reason – a very good reason – she just imagined that Daryl thought of the farm and nothing much more than that.

..Daryl/Beth.. Post S2 AU. Shane is dead. The farm hasn't fallen. And the rest of the group settles in for the incoming winter. Every time Daryl sees Beth, he thinks of how weak she is; of how even Carl can shoot a gun. His job is to keep them all safe and he knows that it's up to him to train her.

..Daryl/Beth.. AU S4 prison. Follow-up to "The Most". He could see how this would be a happy occasion. It was a happy occasion and he wasn't a dick enough to deprive them of celebrating it.

..Daryl/Beth.. From the "House Call" series. Three parts. Through the eyes of Luke, Hunter and Abby Dixon, small observations on Daryl and Beth Dixon. Domestic fluff.

..Beth Greene.. She isn't mad at them. How can she be? She got shot in the head and who would ever think a person could survive that? She can't be mad at them for that; for leaving her behind.

..Daryl/Beth.. AU - no zombies. He saved her that early morning in the doughnut shop and didn't say anything to her afterwards. He went back to his doughnut and coffee and didn't even look at her again. But Beth looked at the older man with the too-long hair and frown on his face and couldn't look away.

..Daryl/Beth.. AU S4 prison. Follow-up to "The Most". A day at the prison. Daryl slowly pulled his lips back from Beth's, smiling a little as her lips seemed to follow after his, not nearly ready enough for their kiss to end. "Come on," he said. "Time to start the day."

..Daryl/Beth.. Just because she's not around anymore, that doesn't mean he can't talk to her.

..Daryl/Beth.. AU - no zombies. He meets her in the psychiatric wing of the medical center and can't forget that. She can't make him want to have something more in his life than he's ever had. She's a mental patient. Isn't she? And if she is, why can't Daryl get Beth Greene off his mind?

..Daryl/Beth.. AU - no zombies. Daryl has finally gotten himself away from his brother and though he has no idea where to go now, he knows he just needs to get there. Beth has dreams of performing on a stage somewhere other than in her small Georgia town. Her daddy tells her to be smart so picking up the hitchhiker from the side of the road may not be what he had in mind.

..Daryl/Beth.. AU S4 prison. Beth looked back to him and she was smiling again and he didn't know her well enough to know if it was an actual smile or a fake one. And for some reason, not knowing that bothered him even though he had no idea why it would. He had other things – bigger things – to worry about than whether or not Beth Greene's smile was genuine.

..Daryl/Beth.. AU - no zombies. "Oh, I'm sure ya, sure ya will make somebody's night. But, oh, I assure ya, assure ya, it sure as hell's not mine." Random one-shot.

..Daryl/Beth.. AU - no zombies. From the "Cornerstone" universe. Daryl and Beth are both looking to have a forever with the other but both have resigned themselves to ache for something silently rather than talk about it with one another and maybe finally find their happily-ever-after together.

..Daryl/Beth.. From the "House Call" series. Fluff. "Should 'ave made you somethin' fancier," he then says. "Mornin' after our weddin'. Should 'ave brought you breakfast in bed or somethin' like that."

..Daryl/Beth.. From the "House Call" series. No matter how many times she explained it, Daryl just didn't get it. It all sounded kind of pointless to him but he knew he would suffer through it tonight. It was something Beth wanted to do – and everyone knew who really ran their house.

From "Waiting on You". Being a male and having the Dixon last name has never really worked out for anyone in the family before.

..Daryl/Beth.. AU - no zombies. Follow-up to Cornerstone. "I'm with you. No matter what else you have in your head, I'm with you and I love you." - Ernest Hemingway

..Daryl/Beth.. He shrugged, looking at her and even in the darkness of the porch, she could see the blue of his eyes. "Rick got what he wanted. A safe place for his kids and for everyone else, too. None of 'em need me anymore." And Beth opened her mouth to tell him that that wasn't true; that she needed him.

..Daryl/Beth.. AU - no zombies. Beth's the new girl that Dale has hired to answer the phones and handle the invoices and balance the books at the garage and while the other mechanics all try to give her their most charming smiles and best pickup lines, Daryl stays away from her as if she has some disease he's afraid of catching.

A follow-up one-shot to "Waiting on You" told from Merle's POV. Kid can rot for all Merle cares now. Tried his best to help that boy get through life and he just drops ol' Merle the second some girl spreads her legs for him and has a kid she claims is his.

..Daryl/Beth.. From the "House Call" series. They looked like the perfect couple and Daryl could just imagine how he would look if he was the one sitting across from Beth instead of Jimmy. Dirty and greasy from work, older than her with already a few grey hairs sprouting in the hairs at his chin.

..Daryl/Beth.. AU - no zombies. Beth needs to get away from everything and gets into her car, just driving with no destination in mind. She finds herself in a small Georgia town in the middle of nowhere and decides it's the perfect place to start over - especially when she gets a job at the town's diner and sees one of the regulars, sitting in his corner booth every night.

..Daryl/Beth.. An epilogue to "Fire in the Blood" or perhaps a new beginning.

..Daryl/Beth.. From the "House Call" series. "You want this house. I can see it. Outside, maybe not but the more we've been walking around in here… your gears are turning and I know you're imagining everything you can do in here. And I know you could do it, Daryl. You could make this house so beautiful again."

..Daryl/Beth.. Part of the "House Call" series. "I changed my mind," she whispered to him then, her lips curled into a small smile against the side of his neck. "You have officially made me a fan of Valentine's Day. I already can't wait for next year."

..Daryl/Beth.. AU - no zombies. "They had been married for a week and everyone in town knew about it by now; the whispers and the stares already getting on his nerves." Beth and Daryl's first year of marriage. Part of the "House Call" series.

..Daryl/Beth.. Beth sat there and would stare blankly into the fire, never talking, never looking at anyone, and Daryl sat, watching her and clenching his jaw because he didn't know what else to do. He never approached her though. It seemed like she wanted none of them to be near her anymore.

..Daryl/Beth.. From the "House Call" universe. "He reminds me so much of your brother sometimes."

..Daryl/Beth.. A deleted scene from "House Call". Dale's POV.

..Daryl/Beth.. Sequel to "House Call". There were so many things Daryl Dixon never said but she had learned long ago that with him, she had to look at his actions rather than waiting for words he would never feel comfortable with himself saying to her.

..Daryl/Beth.. AU - No zombies. Sheriff Rick Grimes needs to talk to Daryl Dixon about his whereabouts the night before. Different character POVs on different points in Daryl and Beth's relationship.

..Daryl/Beth.. A missing scene from "House Call".

..Daryl/Beth.. A continuation of the one-shot "You Found Me". Following the events of 5x04, "Slabtown". It still felt as if she wasn't there at all.

..Daryl/Beth.. "They chose the wrong girl then." After the events of 5x04, "Slabtown", Beth and Daryl find their way back.

..Daryl/Beth.. Daryl gets something for Beth on a run.

..Marcus/Hermione.. Marcus had gone along with her decision because he had learned that agreeing with Hermione – especially a pregnant Hermione – was sometimes easier than arguing with her.

..Marcus/Hermione.. "You should have said something. Ron and Harry always had to reign me in. That's your job now."

..Daenerys Targaryen/Khal Drogo.. Follow-up to "So It Shall Be". Drogo makes a vow to Dany. AU.

..Daenerys Targaryen/Khal Drogo.. They were to have a son, the stallion that mounts the world. Not all prophecies come true. Very AU story.

..Ron/Hermione.. Ron grinned. "It's nothing bad. I've just been doing some planning." For three days after the final battle, they slept.

..Theodore/Hermione.. Even if she did ask him why he constantly pulled her into the dark alcove to kiss the breath from her lungs, she knew that he wouldn't give her a response. Not even he knew the answer.

..Marcus/Hermione.. Their relationship was supposed to be easy. No strings attached. They would spend their time together and then go their separate ways. They had set rules for a reason. But then she just had to go and fall in love with him.

..Marcus/Hermione.. Sequel to "Happenstance". It wasn't her fault. It would take some getting used to. For twenty two years, she had been known as Hermione Granger. She had to practice signing things now as Hermione Flint. She liked the sound of that.

..Marcus/Hermione.. "I know your father isn't normally a violent bloke but how do you think he's going to react?" Marcus asked, growing more nervous as they neared the house. Hermione smiled at him, squeezing his hand. "Don't worry. I'll protect you."

..Marcus/Hermione.. His scowl deepened. "This isn't a laughing matter, Hermione. I just shagged you pretty hard if you've forgotten already and you're… pregnant. That can't be safe for the baby." The baby. He probably would never get used to that.

..Marcus/Hermione.. "Hmmm. That's an interesting theory," Hermione said, tapping her finger with her chin, pretending to be deep in thought. "It's definitely your skill that made me fall for you but it wasn't skill on the dance floor that kept me around."

..Marcus/Hermione.. "What are you doing up?" Marcus asked as she sank down next to him on the sofa, his arms immediately wrapping around her. Hermione smiled, closing her eyes. "You know I can't sleep without you."

..Marcus/Hermione.. He would usually snarl and snap like a caged lion trying to escape its prison. But the instant she was around him, that all disappeared and he would actually smile at her. The Flint grin. Who ever would have thought?

..Marcus/Hermione.. Hermione wants to be swept off her feet. She wants her own true love story. She just never expected to have one with Marcus Flint, of all people.

AU. When Hermione is the person at the bottom of the lake for Cedric to rescue during the second task, everyone is surprised. None more than Cedric and Hermione themselves. How can they mean something to each other when they don't even know each other?
