"She still held to the faith of her father, in that she believed there was a heaven waiting beyond this life, and yet she would not let her belief lead her unthinking into oblivion. I won’t surrender, she thought with a vehemence that startled her. I will walk this path to whatever end may await. I will not fade away into nothingness. I’d rather burn.
No, if the God of her father still ruled this world, then surely His reign was not in scripture scrawled threateningly across a wall, nor in the mind of a single, demented leader. Nor was it in the depths of that dark water, but rather in the light that filtered through the trees at dawn, in the flight of the pale doves in the morning, in the graceful, folding wings of a pair of mated swans, in the footsteps of a great stag upon the frosted earth, in the distant stars at night, the flames of the evening sky.
And in those few, small fires that yet flickered within the hearts of men."

"This is what he remembers as he finally falls down to his knees. When he sinks into a sea of blood, when the tips of his wings are stained dark red for the first and final time, a blessed crimson oblivion rising, coming for him at long last. This is what he remembers when the grit and the sand and the wind whirl around him, when all goes dim, when the last man standing stands no more."

Beyond ecstatic to present this stunning illustration of Beth Greene and Daryl Dixon, commissioned for the cover of my Bethyl fanfiction, Between the Fire and the Sky. I wrote this entire story with the bubug's illustration style in mind, so this is my wildest dream come true.
Someone pinch me. Bethyl LIVES! :')
We are going to get out of here
Run from all the fears
Follow what we once held dear
When will we get out of here?
Bethyl fanvid, Shattered & Hollow by First Aid Kit
The wonderful @alillywhite has been kind enough to create a fanvid based on my one of my most cherished concepts: an AU in which Beth and Daryl eventually find each other.
Because....
“All the best stories in the world are but one story in reality — the story of escape. It is the only thing which interests us all and at all times, how to escape.”
— A. C. Benson
There may be no safe place left on earth, but that does not mean they cannot live.

Chapter 3 is up on Ao3.
To anyone who enjoys Funeral Home AU sexy times, this one's for you. ;)
After getting drunk on moonshine and burning down the shack, Beth and Daryl run together into the night.
~~~~~~~~
Between 'Still' and 'Alone', Beth and Daryl travel through the countryside and deep into the wilderness. As their journey brings them further into each other's worlds, Beth begins to wonder if there is any safe place left on earth.
Perhaps all that remains is the fire that burns between them out there beneath the dark night sky.

Beth Greene's not gonna be just another dead girl, not if the Piemaker can help it.
(But there ain't nothing out there worth saving that don't come without a price.)
