I don’t want to sleep alone - Preference-Set A

Warnings; Mentions of anxiety and past trauma, typical canon violence. Requests are open! Guidlines are pinned at the top of my page A/N; Part two will be up in a few days! So if you don't see your favourite character here, they might be in Part 2 Credit to @cafekitsune for the divider and banner

Rick Grimes; The two of you nearly died after an encounter with the Saviours. Both of you are dragging your feet, both physically and mentally exhausted. When you turn to head towards your bed for the night, Rick stops you. He te;;s you he nearly lost you today and he doesn't want to sleep without you. Taking hold of his hand, you ask him which bedroom. He leads you toward his room because in Rick's opinion, your bed is like sleeping on concrete.

Abraham Ford; Ever since the two of you started getting serious, Abraham began to fear losing you. It comes from losing his wife and children. One thing is for certain he refuses to let that happen. This leads to Abraham asking you if you want to stay the night or insisting you two sleep close to each other for safety. Abraham wants to hold you close to reaffirm your there. It does begin to ease his anxiety when you agree.

Shane Walsh; It's you who tells Shane you don't want to sleep without him. The new world is ferocious, unpredictable, and deadly. Shane has adapted to the new world quickly, without question. So it makes sense for the two of you to share a space. Shane accepts because he doesn't like the idea of you being so far away from him when anything could happen.

Father Gabriel Stokes; Before the dead rose, Gabriel couldn't imagine sleeping with anyone whom he hadn't married. It was a sin in his eyes. The realization death is around the corner for anyone forces Gabriel to realise he doesn't want to miss out on these experiences with you. Gabriel eventually picks up the courage and expresses his feelings, you made sure he's adamant before agreeing.

Merle Dixon; Merle doesn't want to sleep without you. For a couple of reasons; one he doesn't like waking up alone. He wants to wake up with your bodies pressed together. Secondly, if Merle was being completely honest with himself, he doesn't trust anyone in Woodbury, There's no way in hell someone's going to hurt you while he's around. He'd gladly die trying to protect you.

Luke; Luke doesn't want to sleep without you. He feels like it's the next natural stage within your relationship. Living together, sharing a bed etc. Luke is grateful the two of you have found each other. It's only natural he wants to progress your relationship as normal as possible. For Luke, sharing a bed feels like the next step.

Siddiq; Siddiq is shaken from his encounter with the Whisperers. He's never been more terrified of dying before. He's struggling to adapt back to real life, constantly dealing with nightmares When you make the suggestion, Siddiq agrees. He'd thought he'd never see you again. He considers your warm embrace will help him sleep through the night again

Eugene Porter; Eugene is taken aback when you tell him you don't to sleep without him. He can't fathom why you would want to share a bed with him. His reaction is adamant, of course, he does. The entire interaction is awkward, soft and endearing as you both decide who's bed to share.

Benjamin; Benjamin never expected to fall in love. Never expected to find someone in the apocalypse, but he has. He's lying in bed one night, tossing and turning, struggling to sleep. His feet instinctively head him in the direction of your room. When he knocks, you are half asleep. He blurts out he doesn't want to sleep alone. You reply by opening the door wider and allowing him in

Beta; Beta insists you don't sleep alone. Living outside with the Whisperers is dangerous, there's danger at every turn. Beta hasn't cared in the past. When you two get together. things change. Suddenly, he's scared to lose someone. There is someone in his life that he wants to protect. So he insists you two sleep side by side.

Theodore "T-Dog" Douglas; When everyone's sorting out sleeping accommodations in the prison. You surprise him when you tell him you don't want to sleep alone. T-Dog immediately goes in search of a comfortable place for you to sleep. It's nice at the end of the end of the day, to know he's going to fall asleep with you in his arms.

Alden; You and Alden are sitting together reading, your eyes drooping, struggling to stay awake. Alden makes the suggestion you go to bed. However, you refuse telling Alden you don't want to sleep without him. Alden smiles, he truly adores it when you're sleepy and completely honest. Alden replies with you don't have to. Alden leads you up to his room.

Justin; Justin doesn't want to sleep without you through jealousy. He doesn't like the way Daryl's been staring at you. He wants to remind everyone, especially Daryl who you come back to after your day has finished. Who keeps you warm on those cold nights

Noah; Things are always tense in the hospital. There's always some politics going around. Noah's favourite part of the hospital is you. You two are hanging out, when Noah brings it up. He doesn't want to sleep alone, because its time he could have spent with you. The sentiment is sweet and when you agree, Noah asks you which side you prefer.

Jerry; You come to Jerry in the middle of the night, tears running down your face, pain-stricken. Immediately Jerry opens up his arms, embracing you. Jerry sets into consoling you. The world is harsh and cruel and even the strongest people break. When you tell Jerry, you don't want to sleep without him, he tells you you don't have to because he's right here.

Axel; Axel struggles to get accustomed to the harsh reality of the world. You are the best thing to come out of it. Companionship, patience, love. So when you come into his cell asking to sleep with him, he scoots to the side, pulling back the blanket. He tells you, you don't have to ask. He'll protect you from the nightmares.

Gareth; Axel struggles to get accustomed to the harsh reality of the world. You are the best thing to come out of it. Companionship, patience, love. So when you come into his cell asking to sleep with him, he scoots to the side, pulling back the blanket. He tells you, you don't have to ask. He'll protect you from the nightmares.

Micheal Mercer; Micheal is always busy. He takes the job seriously because it's important. However, sometimes he can feel like he's not spending enough time with you. It's why one night, he decides to ask you, to stay. He tells you, he doesn't want to go to bed alone anymore. Not when he can fall and wake up to something beautiful

Negan; Negan smirks when you tell him you don't want to sleep alone. He's been waiting for you to come to him. He didn't want to put any pressure on you, but he's been wanting to share a bed with you for a while. In Negan's mind, it's another way to be close to you. An excuse to feel your body against his.

Little Bump (Benjamin x Fem! Reader)

Key:

Y/n - Your Name

Y/l/n - Your Last Name

Y/e/c - Your Eye Color

Y/h/c - Your Hair Color

Requested by @fangirlbitch02: Could you write something with Benny? Anything really, he doesn’t have enough love!

Reader Gender: Female

Summary: Benjamin goofs up while trying to impress the reader with his aikido skills and he thinks he might just die of embarrassment— but it’s a good thing she’s there to be nice about it.

Warnings: None, really. Benny boy is a simp, fluff, mild anxious thoughts.

A/n: Benjamin is a dork and I’m happy to write for his dorky self. My friend @taejoonstars peer pressured me into writing, so you have her to thank.

Word Count: 300+

Benjamin sits in your shared apartment, eyes closed and head aching; the sound of the staff thwacking against his skull echoes through his mind, and he could just die of embarrassment.

It didn’t help that you were there, poorly hiding your snickering while cracking an ice pack for him.

All the boy wanted to do was impress you, show you that he was tough and that he learned some of this super cool martial art form, but that had backfired incredibly. Were people still laughing at him outside? Are you as flustered as he is? Was Morgan going to continue training him?

“Here, Dana said if you ice it long enough there shouldn’t be too much of a bump.”

Benjamin reluctantly opens his eyes and takes the pack from you. You sit down beside him as he holds the ice pack to his forehead and pouts; you smile at him.

“Stop it.” He groans half heartedly, turning his head away.

“Stop what?”

“Making fun of me.”

“I didn’t say anything.” You defend, voice light.

“But you’re looking at me.”

You laugh again, wrapping your arms around him and pressing a chaste kiss to his face.

“You’re pretty. I like looking at pretty things.”

His face burns redder than it was before, and his free arm wraps around you slowly. You stifle your teasing in favor of resting your head on him, humming softly and rubbing circles on his shoulder with your thumb.

A short while later, when the ice pack has melted past the point of being any help, he removes it and looks at you expectantly.

“So?”

“Aw it’s only a little bump— you’re going to be fine.”

Benjamin wasn’t sure he was going to ever recover from the embarrassment, but he sure appreciates the sentiment and let’s you cover his face with ‘healing’ kisses.

[emiliaclarkesdragons]

Prompts -

   "Just smile, I really need to see you smile right now"    

   When he looked into her eyes, he saw everything he threw away.

"Yes, your majesty" y/n said, bowing her head before leaving the room. She turned to her regiment, she sighed and forced a smile, "so, I guess it's finally time to do our jobs..." she trailed off, she didn't know what to say to the faces standing in front of her.

"Alright," Alfie announced, who was y/n's trusty right-hand man, "take the next day to spend with your family and friends... we don't know if we'll survive this" Alfie also forced a smile. There was a reason they were all in the same regiment, they didn't have any family and whatever family they did have they made in here. It was a cruel system but that was what they agreed to when they turned up, some of them didn't really know what they were getting into.

y/n was one of them who didn't really understand, she thought and swore to herself that she wouldn't get close to anyone again. Then she met Benjamin. But she didn't want to think about when they met, she didn't want to cry.

"Are you okay?" Alfie asked, y/n nodded.

"I mean, I have to be" she said, "I'll see you tomorrow, okay?"

Alfie smiled and they walked in separate directions.

"I'm back!" y/n shouted as she walked through the door. "Ben?" she questioned as she walked to the kitchen.

"Hi" Benjamin looked shocked holding a glass with a rose in it.

"I didn't think you'd be back yet" he stuttered.

"The meeting didn't last as long as expected" y/n said, Ben was going to ask what it was about but she said, "I don't want to talk about it just yet." And she looked at Benjamin as if for the last time, he smiled then frowned.

"Alright, well I've put dinner on, Morgan agreed to look after Henry and I've ran you a bath" Benjamin said all this as he was taking off her armour. y/n was trying to watch him do it but he was moving so fast she ended up confusing herself.

"We aren't allowed a lot of water-"

"I sorted it, y/n" he stood in front of her, "now go. Relax" he smiled and placed a kiss on her forehead, then pushed her gently out of the door.

y/n and Benjamin let out a long laugh, "knock knock" Morgan said down the hallway.

y/n and Ben looked at each other, "is it that time already?" y/n asked, a smile on her face. Ben let out a small laugh, he didn't want it to end. He thought he would never see her smile again, it wasn't a secret that y/n was becoming strained by her role in the Kingdom.

"Hey soldier, how was it? Were you good?" y/n asked flattening Henry's hair, he nodded, "remembered your manners?" she asked and he nodded again. y/n looked up at Morgan who had a strange smile on his face, similar to Ben's as y/n looked to him too. "Thank you, Morgan" y/n smiled.

"It was my pleasure" Morgan smiled in response.

"I'll walk you out" y/n offered before Ben could, y/n walked forward. And she did walk him all the way out and Morgan sensed something was wrong.

"Is everything alright?" he asked, just to make it easier for y/n.

"No, we've been given our-" she stuttered as she choked back a tear.

"Ah"

"I just couldn't tell him. I just- he did all this and tomorrow" y/n sighed.

"Is it that soon?" Morgan asked she nodded. "If there's anything I can do, I will."

"Just look after them, please" y/n pleaded as she looked at Morgan. He nodded, pulling her into a hug. "I'll see you soon, take care, Morgan" y/n smiled as she walked back inside.

The next day was the hardest, y/n had to say goodbye. "Benjamin." She said to him as he was about to leave with Henry. "Can I take him?"

"Yeah, aren't you working?" he asked, she shook her head, she hadn't found a way to tell him yet.

As they walked to school they laughed and joked, and she couldn't bring herself to tell him either. She beat herself up about it as she walked back to the house.

"Good news, they said I could have today off. I'm not sure why it never happens!" Benjamin sounded so happy, but she had to tell him.

"It's because I'm leaving, we've been given-"

"No," Benjamin said. "You can't leave now, I was going to ask you-" he cut himself off, sitting down on the chair.

"Please, Benjamin, it wasn't my choice" y/n sniffed, wiping a tear from her face.

"You did"

"No. I didn't"

"Yes, when you came" Benjamin argued, but he was trying to stop himself.

"I didn't know I was going to fall in love, Benjamin! I had lost everyone and everything!" y/n shouted. Then she took a breath and crouched to see him. "You know what comes next don't you?" she choked, "It's easier for you if if we end things... I don't want to, I really don't-"

"Then don't, we can run away" Benjamin grabbed her hands, but let go as he saw her face.

"You can't. This is the best place for Henry" y/n sighed, "I'm sorry, Benjamin."

"What am I going to do without you?" Benjamin struggled out.

"Just smile, I really need to see you smile right now" y/n then broke.

y/n didn't think she would ever be back here. None of them did actually, or what was left of them. y/n looked around the Kingdom, looking at the new faces that didn't know who they were. She was looking for them, although she was trying to convince herself she wasn't. "Alfie!" y/n shouted as she saw him drop to the floor. She rushed to his side but was pushed out the way by the doctor of the Kingdom.

It was all very different to what y/n could remember, in the next minute Alfie was being carried away on the stretcher to the Kingdom hospital. y/n ran after them, "please, can I come?" she asked, close to begging. The people holding the stretcher looked to the doctor, then to y/n and nodded. "Thank you" she repeated as they walked.

As Alfie was being looked at, they took the opportunity to see to y/n. "You need to drink, Miss," the woman said, she was trying to be patient but if y/n didn't drink something she would be in the same state Alfie was.

"Not until-"

But the woman cut her off, she wasn't going to hear y/n say that again, "Miss, I understand you want your boyfriend to be safe but if you don't drink this you will be in the same state he is, do you want that?"

"No" y/n mumbled, not correcting the woman, Alfie wasn't her boyfriend.

y/n sat up slowly, she had a sharp pain in her head. "Morning" y/n looked to the chair next to her, it was Alfie. "Looks like I recovered fast than you did, you've been out for a while" Alfie smiled.

"Probably because she had a few gashes that were infected and you didn't," the woman said, it was the same woman who was trying to get her to drink. "My names Alicia, I'm one of the doctors here." She introduced herself. "It took a lot of screaming and pain to get your wounds clean and sewn up, but you may not remember" Alicia explained, handing y/n a glass of water.

y/n took a good gulp of water, attempting to move to get comfortable, "not so fast" Alicia warned, holding her for support, "I'm afraid you'll be out of work for a few weeks, maybe months, depending on how they decide to heal" Alicia explained as y/n sat on the edge of the bed, "Alfie here has agreed to look after you, he's been watching me dress your wounds so I think he'll do a very good job" Alicia smiled, Alfie had corrected her on the boyfriend thing. y/n smiled at Alicia, she wasn't sure what was going on really, she couldn't remember much or anything for that matter.

They had all had a meeting with the King and now it was time for them to get back to work all accept y/n, "where are you going?" Alfie demanded from the steps.

"To look for a job" y/n replied.

"No, you need to rest," Alfie said, "don't argue with me y/n, just go back in the house." He sighed.

"I just want to walk around; can't I do that?" she asked.

"Fine, but don't outdo yourself," Alfie said, jumping slightly when she hugged him. She had been cooped up in the house for too long and she needed to get out.

y/n was happy to be walking around, she figured it was helping her recover. She kept looking out for him, but she was again trying to tell herself she wasn't. She saw two people under the shelter, one looked as though he was practising a kind of art.

She stopped dead in her tracks causing someone to go into her dropping the crops and knocking her over. She gasped for air, while the man was shouting at her. This caught the attention of the two men under the shelter. He ran over to her, "Can't you see she's hurt, back off a bit" Benjamin pushed the guy back slightly to help the girl, not realising who it was.

"Thanks" she struggled as he lifted her up. And, their eyes met. When he looked into her eyes, he saw everything he threw away. "Ben..." she whispered.

"y/n... I- I-" he cut himself off, he couldn't find the words, so he pulled her into a tight hug. y/n's body ached from how tight he was holding her, but she didn't care. He pulled out of the hug, still holding her close afraid she would disappear, as he found the words. "y/n, I'm sorry, I should have fought for you, demanded you to stay-"

"Benjamin, I thought I wouldn't make it back... I barely did- I didn't want you to fight for me-"

"But I should have. And I'm going to do it now" Benjamin took a breath, "I'm not letting you get away this time. Never again."

"What-"

"It's now or never" Benjamin smiled, letting her go, "I was going to do this the night before you left but I didn't have the guts... but like I said, I ain't letting you get away this time." Getting down on one knee, he asked, "will you marry me?"

Kingdom Nightmare

“Hey babe, are you alright?” Benjamin’s grumbled voice whispers in your ear. You had just woken up from a night terror, a cold sweat covering your body.

“Oh, uh, yeah. Just a–” You couldn’t finish your sentence, you were shaking and tears pricked your eyes. He wrapped his arm around your waist as he sat up.

“What happened?” He asks. You took a deep breath, trying to calm yourself.

“It was just – there was walkers eveywhere and…”

“It’s okay. You don’t need to say anymore.” He tells you, gently kissing the side of your head. “Let’s get back to sleep, yeah? It wont happen in real life, you know that.”

“ Okay. You’re right, yeah… I love you.”

"I love you too.”

Pairing: Benjamin x Reader

Warning: Fluff

Y/N POV

I swung my legs back and forth while watching Morgan talk to Benjamin. I took a small bite out of my Apple before the two walked in my direction. I was already smiling before Benjamin sat next to me, throwing his arm around my shoulders.

"What's up cupcake?", he asked and I shook my head.

"Just eating an apple for my nutrition. What's up with you tater tot?", I replied as he let out a sigh.

"I want to do more training but Ezekiel says I should hold off for awhile.", He said and I shrugged.

"Maybe you should. Overworking yourself never ends well.", I stated and he snatched my apple. I made a dramatic gasp before reaching for my apple causing the two of us to become real close. We were inches apart before I managed to grab the fruit with a smile full of triumph. Morgan stated down at the two of us and I raised an eyebrow.

"What are staring at ninja man?", I asked and he chuckled.

"Ah ninja man? Is that my new name now?", he questioned and I shrugged.

"I just figured it's better than Donatello.", I said and he seemed as if he didn't realize what I was talking about.

"The tv show. With the ninja turtles.", Benjamin added with a few sound effects.

"I'm just gonna nod and agree with everything you're saying as if I know what it is.", Morgan laughed before Ezekiel approached us.

"Sharing laughs are we? That's usually a good sign.", he asked and I looked down at my feet. While I wasn't looking, Benjamin took a bite out of my Apple and I scoffed.

"How dare you young man.", I faked anger and the three males laughed. "Go get your own apple."

"You weren't looking, it was fair game.", he commented and I scoffed.

"Come now Benjamin, it is about time to tuck in Henry. He wants to here the horse story again.", Ezekiel stated and Ben groaned.

"That's the third time this week.", he said and the older man shrugged. "Tell that to him."

"Alright.", he sighed getting up, but before walking away he turned to me with a grin. "Wait up for me okay?"

"Gotcha.", I said giving a thumbs up leaving me and Morgan in silence for 5 minutes.

Morgan sat in the spot Benjamin was just occupying before a wide smile formed on his face.

"You know, when two people like each other it's usually the best idea to confess. Especially under the circumstances the world is in at the moment.", he stated and my eyes widened.

"You mean to tell me you were studying me while standing there?", I asked and he laughed.

"Not studying. Just confirming my suspicions.", he said with a smile.

"No, I don't like Ben. He's my best friend and that's all there is to it. ", I denied and he shot me a knowing glance.

"Okay fine it's just a little crush but that's it.", I sighed. I was met with silence and a small frowned appeared.

"He likes you too you know. But don't tell him I said that.", he commented and I scoffed.

"Yeah sure he does.", I said and he placed a hand on my shoulder.

"In due time.", he replied before getting up. I stared after him before standing up.

"What does that mean?!", I shouted after him but he waved instead of replying. I sighed before looking down at my watch seeing it was after 8.

"Oh crap.", I took off to the garden to meet up with Benjamin. I turned the corner before suddenly running into someone's chest. I recognized the scent immediately and grinned.

"Sorry Ben. I wasn't looking.", I quickly apologized.

"Oh there you are Y/N. I didn't see you since you're so short.", he smiled and I blushed.

"I'm not that short jerk.", I said as I lightly punched his shoulder.

"I managed to snag some blackberries on the way here.", he said and I smiled snatching the bag from him.

"Hey sharing is caring.", he called as I made my way to the porch.

"But I don't care. Besides you weren't looking so it's fair game.", I replied and he placed a hand on his chest.

"How rude.", he commented but still sat next to me on the porch. I remained silent as Morgan's words played back in my head. I opened my mouth to speak but he beat me to the punch.

"Do you think it's possible to fall in love while the world's going to hell and back?", he asked and I shrugged.

"Dunno. It depends on who you're talking in love with.", I answered and he sighed.

"So it's now or never huh?", he asked and I raised an eyebrow. He stared at me before leaning towards me. My heart started racing as he softly connected our lips. We remained that way until he pulled away with a nervous smile.

"I like you.", he stated suddenly.

"Oh come on, don't say that.", I covered my face and he smiled.

"Well I do. And you're cute so that pretty much a bonus.", he said being serious. "And I don't just go around kissing everybody. It would be weird."

"Thank you. It was a pretty good kiss.", I blushed again and he lifted my chin to look at him.

"So you want to go to the dining hall for dinner?", he asked.

"Who could turn down a hot bowl of potato soup."

"And all the fruit you can eat.", he added causing me to laugh.

"Wait here.", He said running off towards the garden.

I was confused when he came back with something behind his back. He smiled at me before pulling out a few flowers in front of me. I couldn't help the smile that appeared on my lips as he presented them to me.

"Can't mess up a first date.", he said smiling.

He grabbed my hand leading me out the garden and I couldn't stop the blush from rushing to my cheeks.

Jealousy headcanons with Benjamin

Hey lovelies, back with another headcanon, my requests are open for everything except fics. You can find my request guidelines pinned to the top of the page! Credit to cafekitsune for the banner and the divider

❀Benjamin is not an easy person to make jealous. In fact, he may go throughout your entire relationship without being jealous at all. He's confident in your relationship, he trusts you, and he doesn't listen to background noise. He's a hard man to make jealous.

❀Benjamin would become jealous over insecurity. Perhaps the communication has died down between you two and other people are beginning to show interest. He'd be terrified of losing you. Benjamin would ultimately question things.

❀He'd question whether or not he's reading too much into things. Perhaps he's seeing what his mind thinks is there. Are the touches are seeing purely friendly? If they're not obvious, Benjamin will doubt himself.

❀Benjamin would go to Morgan to ask for advice. How does he handle this feeling? What should he do about it? Shall he talk to you? Shall he not talk to you? His brain begins to run wild.

❀Morgan would advise him to communicate with you, to talk about what's going on. Morgan reminds him one of the most important aspects of a relationship is communication.

❀Benjamin talks himself through it several times before he talks to you about it. He wants to be calm and precise and he wants to articulate himself properly.

❀The exchange between the two of you is calm and Benjamin does well. He's able to tell you where he's coming from and together you work through your issues.

11x02: Acheron, Part 2 - Analysis

Okay, let’s talk 11x02. And 11x01. Because it’s a two-part episode, it’s important to consider them together. I have a LOT to say about what’s going on in these two episodes, so I’ll have plenty to post all week. Let’s dive in!

***As always, spoilers abound below for TWD 11x02. Don’t read until you’ve watched! You’ve been warned!***

Maggie

The first thing we see is a point of view from under the train car. The instant I saw that, I knew how things would go. I never thought Maggie would die (if nothing else, there are scenes with her in the trailer we haven’t seen yet) but I was curious as to how she would survive. When I saw this POV, I knew she’d end up crawling under the train. Just as Glenn crawled under the dumpster. Massive parallels to Glenn. Which by extension, massive parallels to Beth. Major resurrection theme.

It's also important that when she reappears, she comes from underneath the car. Obviously, that’s logical given that she crawled underneath the car, but they make a point of asking if the pounding is coming from the roof. Gabriel says no and then they open the bottom hatch for her. Her coming up from the ground like that is a visual representation of a resurrection.

So we see Gabriel, Negan and the others enter the train car. The spatial details here are important, and I had to watch the episode twice to get them all straight. It’s a little confusing the first time. So, the group jumps down into the train car through a hatch in the roof because they couldn’t get the door open in the last episode. The thing is, if you watch closely, you come to realize they’re not in the train car on the end. They must have walked along the roof for two or three cars before finding a hatch that let them in.

So, when Gauge shows up, he comes behind them, and that confused me because I was thinking they came from that direction. And they did, but they entered through the roof, not the door. Anyway, they can’t get the door open. So honestly, even if they’d tried harder, I’m not sure they could have saved him.

This scene accomplished a lot of things, character-wise, that we need to touch on. It’s important to note that Gauge’s death happened due to his own choices. Does that mean he “deserved” to die or that they shouldn’t have tried to save him if they could have? Of course not. No on both counts. But that doesn’t change the fact that his choices sealed his fate.

It's especially interesting that he called Maggie a Liar. Not only is that a throwback to the Governor, but it’s a particular type of mentality they’re showing here. Even the fact that he didn’t shut the door behind him is really interesting. My first thought was to be annoyed with him. Why WOULDN’T you shut the door. You live in this world. You know better. But it’s all ego. He can’t imagine something bad will happen. He just assumes if it does, someone will save him.

But the most telling thing was how angry he got before saying Liar. It just shows very much how he approaches life. When he messes up, he doesn’t feel bad, and accept that it was his fault, and try to learn from it. No, instead he gets pissed and blames everyone but himself and his own actions.

If this had been Daryl or Gabriel or Alden or any of our other heroes, they would have recognized that opening the door would have gotten their friends and family killed and would have sacrificed themselves. Especially if they realized they’d screwed up. But Gauge became angry and defiant, even killing himself.

Anyway, I’m rambling. This really has nothing to do with Beth or TD other than perhaps being a future template for something. But I thought it was a really fascinating character sketch.

The thing is, this isn’t really a matter of Gauge being wrong and everyone else being right.

Maggie is…not doing so well either. As I told my fellow theorists, Paola Lazaro said in TTD last week that Maggie was kind of off the rails. I think she said that a little prematurely, because we really didn’t understand Maggie’s state of mind just by watching 10x17 and 11x01.

It's not until she tells that messed up story about the house she found and the people in it that we understand that her state of mind really isn’t at its healthiest. Even saying she wanted to kill Negan before is…understandable given their past. But it makes more sense now why Negan is so nervous. He’s sensing her state of mind that her moral conscience isn’t as strong as it once was, so of course he’s fearful for his life.

I don’t know where they’re going with this Maggie story line, but I have a feeling this attitude of hers will cause conflict down the road. Several of my fellow theorists believe it will cause a rift between her and Daryl. And we can see that somewhat through Alden. At first, he was very much defending Maggie, especially against Negan. He has a lot of loyalty to her. But he didn’t like her abandoning Gauge, and you can see his loyalties starting to waver.

At the very least, what she said about not feeling anything about it is the opposite of what Beth always stood for. Daryl was trying hard not to feel things during Still, in the wake of the prison going down. She made him feel things because that’s the only way a person is truly living, rather than just surviving. Now Maggie is in that state of mind.

And I’m gonna argue that makes it a prime time for Beth to return to help her. But of course I’m completely objective over here. ;D

Maggie’s Story:

Maggie’s story was definitely dark and horrible, but interesting to analyze. I’m assuming there was cannibalism going on there. That’s why the missing limbs. The men in the house were eating the female prisoners. No only a callback to Terminus, but remember that Bob’s leg was taken for food, so I’m sure that’s what we’re supposed to infer here.

She talked about no eyes, no tongue, no limbs, vocal cords ripped out. So definitely the see no evil, speak no evil themes. With the limbs, it’s also a matter of not being able to escape or save themselves.

In terms of the plot, I do have one question about this that I think may be significant. Maggie first talks about three deformed people (she says, “I wouldn’t call them men”) coming toward her. She kills them, and only after that hears the noise from the attic.

My question is, why were they deformed? If they’re “men,” then they must be at least Maggie’s age, if not older, which means they’ve been around since before the apocalypse began. Even eating human flesh doesn’t cause one to become deformed, so why the deformities? I have no idea, but I wondered if there is a radiation theme going on here. Something they’re hinting at, but not saying. Just thought that was intriguing.

After that, things go sideways and everyone almost dies until Daryl arrives to save the day. So, let’s skip to his story.

Daryl:

We first see him bust through a wall with Dog. So, dog took off in the last episode, but the first time we see Daryl, he’s already found Dog again. At least, the first time. This is where he sees the murals on the wall, the walker with the handcuff and the suitcase of money, etc. I already talked about most of that in great detail HERE, so I won’t rehash it, though it’s very important.

One thing I will say about the mural is that thematically, it’s a match to Still. So, in the golf club, we had lots of rich people who clearly hid there when the world first went bad. And I don’t remember this particularly, but several of my fellow theorists have told me they remember the TTD after Still and that the writers talked about how the golf club was a statement about the class system. You have these very rich people, but their wealth couldn’t save them. Death, walkers, the apocalypse…none of these things discriminate based on wealth or position.

On the wall, we see people with crowns standing at the top, but below, they are homeless, and one of them is being attacked and torn apart. Meanwhile, Daryl sees a line of text that says, “it comes for us all,” probably meaning death.

Well, guess what? Angela Kang, in talking about the murals, said that this, too, was a statement about the class system. So thematically, this is meant to be a parallel to Still.

It’s just interesting to contemplate because if you think about it, most of our heros—Rick, Daryl, the Greene family, etc—weren’t at all wealthy. Rick was humble and well-grounded. Hershel worked hard his whole life and never had any glory or fanfare. And then there’s Daryl, who was “nothing. No one.” They all survived.

So of course it’s a socioeconomic statement, but it’s also one about mindset. It takes not only grit to survive this world, but a certain amount of humility. Ego always gets you killed eventually, as it did with Gauge.

I’ll also mention that I thought the guy with the crown who was being torn apart was being set upon by walkers, but AK says they’re specifically not walkers. They’re people.

So, it’s not a coincidence that we see this juxtaposed with the Gauge situation. His ego gets him killed and we literally see him being torn apart because of it.

Moving on.

Daryl finds a bag with a $100 bill with a letter written on it. This is a massive TD clue from start to finish. 100 is an important number. The hundred dollar bill features Benjamin Franklin on the front and Independence Hall on the back. Look either of those up and you’ll find lots of fun parallels we could point to. I won’t go into all that today except to say it’s definitely part of the Revolution theme.

This is what’s written on the bill Daryl finds:

“Dear Dad, you always said if you don’t come back in a week to move on. Mom didn’t listen and went looking. It’s been three weeks, so we’re going next. I’ll watch Jesse and turn on the radio every day at 10. See you both soon. Love Tom and Jesse.”

He also finds a picture of two kids. So, the “three weeks” jumps out because of Rick’s line in 5x10, “it’s been three weeks since Atlanta.” It’s also about missing family members, going searching for them, etc. Possibly important that the mom is also missing. I can’t help but think of the song from Still. “Our mother has been absent, every since we founded Rome…”

There is a 10 in there, which is an important number. The turning the radio on every day is both the radio/airwaves theme (also a line from the song) but a callback to Rick and Morgan and their walkie talkies. So, really interesting symbols here.

The two kids immediately reminded me of Noah’s twin brothers. I don’t think these two are supposed to be twins. I’m assuming the brother is older. But still obviously siblings. And it hearkens back to the last episode Beth was technically in. Which also had a lot of the CRM/Revolution theme in it. (X, X).

AK says this family probably didn’t make it, so I’m not expecting these kids to show up in the narrative. But it’s also important to note that the little girl is carrying the toy rabbit Maggie found earlier. So the rabbit also ties into all this symbolism. (P.S. I didn’t get to my rabbit post last week. I planned on it, but time got away from me. I should get it posted later this week.)

So, this is massive in terms of TD symbolism. I’ll talk about it fits into the bigger narrative in a minute.

Then Daryl kills the sleeping bag walker. I wasn’t sure the significance of this at first, but I think it ties to the tents and sleeping bags we saw in Atlanta in 5x06, Consumed. Daryl and Carol passed them while looking for Beth. So, this just shows us that this is tied to her storyline and Daryl searching for her.

You could also argue that the walker was “hidden” at first, and it’s significant that Dog found it/realized it was there before Daryl did. 

The other thing is that as he’s looking at the sleeping bag walker, there’s a random shoe on the ground next to it. Missing Shoe/Foot theory, which is also indicative of Beth. 

They hear another roaring sound and Dog takes off, running into the dark tunnel.

Here’s the thing. I think most people will assume the roar he heard was just more air being forced through the tunnels by the storm, as Alden explained it in ep 1. But I always watch with the subtitles on and I noticed at this part, the subtitles said, “Man Roaring.” So they actually did hear someone screaming. And that’s probably why Dog ran toward it.

After watching it again, I realized it’s probably supposed to be Roy. He’s the white-haired guy, played by C. Thomas Howell, who Daryl finds wounded after he emerges from the Tunnel. I think whatever happened to him when he went topside but then got attacked by walkers is what Dog heard and went running toward.

Maybe not terribly significant in the plot, but it’s important symbolically. Because once again we have something Daryl hears from a distance but doesn’t see. Dog (a proxy for Beth) runs toward it, and Daryl follows. When he does, he find someone who had previously separated from the group. They’re hurt, but alive. See the parallels?

I will say the Roy situation confuses me just a little. He’s clearly hurt, and when Daryl tries to bandage him, he refuses, saying, “just tell my kids I didn’t die a coward.” But then later he’s with the group, all bandaged up, and seems to be okay. (He dies when they reach the Reapers by taking an arrow to the head, so he still dies overall.) But it’s just weird that it seemed he would die, then seemed he was fine again.

It may well be something that foreshadows a future situation, and that’s why it’s not making tons of sense right now. Only time will tell.

Anyway, I kind of glossed over Daryl crawling through the dark tunnel. I don’t have much else to say about it except that it’s a SUPER potent symbol for Beth’s arc and very important that he emerges on the other side and finds this person. Annnd then goes to save TF. (Dark Tunnel Symbolism).

So, he hears the gunshots and finds the train they’re on. He comes up behind the walkers attacking them from the front, kills them, moves the bench blocking the door, and lets everyone through. Then he uses a grenade to blow up all the walkers. (Ew.)

After that they all get out of the tunnels and go topside. The next scene is also super important. We see the stars above. That’s partly to show that the storm has passed now, but also constellations = Sirius.

Maggie asks what he has and he tells her about it. There is one weird moment in this scene. When she tells them about the supply depot she wants to stop at, she says Georgie (from S8) set it up for emergencies, for people on the outside to use. When it says this, the camera focuses on Daryl for a LONG moment, and he looks almost sad. I’m not sure what they’re trying to tell us there.

Anyway, they all head out. Unfortunately, when they reach the right neighborhood, the Reapers are there to meet/kill them. And Roy is the first to go.

So, a couple of things here. I’ll probably do a details post because I’m leaving out MOST of the background details throughout the episode, and there are a lot of them. Lots of details to be gleaned in this scene.

But the second time I watched it, I was struck by the people hanging upside down. Obviously a grim sight, but it occurred to me that these people hanging this way look a LOT like the deer diagrams from Scars. Let me show you some pictures:

Top pick is 11x02. Middle and bottom one are from Scars.

See what I mean? So, chances are something about Scars foreshadowed the Reapers, which is interesting. They clearly see human beings in a certain way (as animals to be strung up and…perhaps eaten?) And that makes me think that what Maggie found in that house may tie into the Reapers as well. Just kind of interesting foreshadows of coming plots.

Eugene:

Let’s talk Eugene and then I’ll shut up for today. Eugene’s stuff was very intriguing. First thing you need to know. And understand, I didn’t know this. @wdway​ pointed it out. Some months ago, the actress cast as “Stephanie” was announced. This is her:

And that’s clearly not the woman who steps into the train car at the end. Which means this isn’t really Stephanie. She’s a decoy. In fact, the actress from this episode is billed on IMDb as “woman 2,” not as “Stephanie.”

Knowing that, if you go back and re-watch the parts with Eugene’s group, they mean something very different.

On the surface, it seems that Zeke, Yumiko and Princess are taken away in a sinister fashion. Then Eugene melts down and tells his story. (Note: while he focuses on his feelings for Stephanie and I think most of that is true, he still says he lied both to her and to his friends about being from a large settlement. So, he’s still keeping large chunks of the truth from them.)

Again, on the surface it seems that they accept his explanation and just decide to allow them all in. All the stuff with the other three is just a misunderstanding.

But if “Stephanie” is a decoy, that can’t possibly be the case. I think Zeke and the others told Eugene the truth as they know it, but they’re all still being manipulated.

After Princess left to pee, the guy told Eugene no one was in the room and acted like he had no idea who Princess was. They were definitely using psychological torture on him, trying to break him.

I think they know very well that Eugene's group is still lying about their settlement, and they're using a decoy "Stephanie" to find out the truth.

My point is that it goes back to the hallucination, making-someone-think-they're-crazy theme. It will be really interesting to see how this unfolds, because there's all kinds of psychological shenanigans going on here.

@galadrieljones​ made a really interesting connection some time ago. She noticed that back in 10x18, at Leah’s cabin, there is a metal, heart-shaped chair. The same chairs show up in the Commonwealth’s sales video from the trailer. So there’s some kind of link between Leah, Daryl’s memory of her, and the Commonwealth. We don’t know what it is yet, but all of this gives credence to the idea that she is either an outright hallucination, or Daryl is just remembering things wrong.

It also might mean that the Reapers are connected to the Commonwealth in some way. We don’t really know yet, but I’m having tons of fun trying to figure it out.

I want to touch briefly on the train car theme. Once again, there’s a parallel in both story lines (Terminus, and this one at the Commonwealth). Daryl’s group is in train cars this episode. And while Eugene’s group has been at a different compound, they started in the train yard and end in it here. But what I noticed is that Eugene enters the train car at the end, which is furnished inside, and finds his friends there. They all have a happy reunion.

It made me think of the fact that when Rick, Daryl, Michonne, and Carl enter the train cars at Terminus, there is also a family reunion. What happened beyond that was not good or easy. Clearly, Terminus was not a good place. Many of them almost died at the trough and they had to fight their way out through a walker blood bath.

I’m just saying that, while it obviously won’t play out exactly the same way, something similar is probably waiting for Eugene’s group outside that train car. Not good.

Acheron Overall:

Okay, let’s get to the big cheese, here. The overall narrative. The template.

These two episodes are called Acheron part 1 and part 2. So here’s the skinny:

Acheron = Underworld. Daryl’s group going into the subway tunnels (dark, underground) is what constitutes Acheron and why the episodes are called that. That’s why, at the end of this episode, they emerge from the tunnels onto the surface (i.e. the living world).

Given all the death, cemetery, and dark tunnel symbolism around Beth, given that she ventured into the land of the dead by being shot, maybe clinically dying for a time, and being thought dead for so long, what this tells me is that everything that happens in these tunnels is a foreshadow and template for what will happen this season.

I maintain that Dog = Beth and we will soon see something where Daryl hears something (not necessarily her; it was a man screaming so I still think it will be Rick he hears word of) and goes chasing after it. While searching for it, he stumbles across Beth. Then the two of them (both Dog and Daryl returned to the train car) go back in time to save TF from something.

This is most likely why the Roy thing is weird. In a super understated way, he represents Rick in the template. Daryl will find him, but only after he finds Beth. Even consider what Roy says. He says, “tell my kids I didn’t die a coward.” And that’s all well and good, but did we even know Roy had kids? No. Have we met them? No. But who has kids that Daryl IS concerned with? That would be Rick.

So I’m thinking that maybe when Daryl finds Rick, Rick will think he’s dying for some reason, and that’s why the dialogue here. But he won’t, which is why we see Roy with the group later.

And no, I’m not thinking that Roy dying via the Reapers will extend to Rick. It’s more like what they’ve done with countless characters that have been Beth proxies. Eventually, they kill them off. He’s a minor character they were using as a proxy, and when they are done with him in the narrative, he becomes walker chow. Or, in this case, Reaper fodder.

Anyway, I think everything will end up being a foreshadow for something. Maggie and Negan. The Gauge situation. All of it. I’ll try to keep coming back to this as the story progresses to show what everything foreshadows. I’ll stop there for today.

A/N this will be my last Benjamin imagine for a while. I'm going to take a break from him as he's pretty much all I've written for, and I think that may be the reason I have no inspiration to write. Nonetheless, I hope you guys enjoy this.

Summary: Benjamin and reader have been secretly dating, or so they thought. Drabble number 61 from this drabble list.

Warnings: nothing really

Benjamin (TWD)

Benjamin was embarrassed- actually, horrified would be the better word to use.

He and you had been dating for a few months now, keeping it secret for the sole reason that you were both guards and you didn't want anyone thinking you couldn't work together now that you were dating. Neither of you thought anyone knew, but Benjamin had just found out that you were wrong.

Ezekiel had made a comment after Benjamin had finished his shift and was heading off, shocking the teen.

"Tell y/n I said hi." He commented casually. Ben looked back at him, confused,"How'd you know I was going to see y/n?"

The king scoffed, humor in his eyes as he let Shiva,"Oh, please. We've all seen the way you've been sneaking around, we're not blind."

Benjamins eyes widened and his skin began to feel burning hot, a blush rising to his face, and he awkwardly stuttered before rushing off. Now, he was on his way to you, to tell you what he had just discovered. He hurriedly knocked on your door, and you quickly opened it with wide eyes.

"What?" You questioned after a moment, watching as he panted, bent over with his hands on his knees. "Is everything okay?"

He slowly stood up, walking into your bedroom with you following behind, shutting the door as you went. He sat down on your bed, and you moved so that you were standing in front of him, staring down at him with a worried look,"Ben, you're making me nervous. What happened?"

He looked up at you,"They found out."

"Who knows what?" You asked, eyebrows furrowed.

"Ezekiel, Jerry, everyone- they found out we're together. They didn't just find out, they already knew!"

Your eyes widened,"What- how? Was Ezekiel mad?" Benjamin shook his head,"No, not at all. I don't know how they found out, but apparently they've known for a while." You sighed, running a hand through your hair before you grabbed onto his face, moving so that you were straddling him as your lips found his in a short, chaste kiss.,"You scared me, I thought something really bad happened."

"Is this not bad? What if they say one of us can't be a guard anymore, because we'll be distracted?"

"Baby, if they've known for a while and haven't said anything, they don't care." You told him, pushing a strand of hair behind his ear. "Besides, if I had to choose between being a guard and being with you, I'd choose you."

• Him waking up from hearing you whimper and tremble in your sleep • Him directly looking concerned over to you realizing you’re having a nightmare before gently taking you deeper into his embrace • Him trying to stop it through stroking over your arms and back, holding you tightly while kissing your forehead and mumbling soothing words • As he would realize that your nightmare still hasn’t stopped he’d try to softly wake you up through just not being able to see you that way anymore • Him exhaling relieved when he sees you slowly opening your eyes and hears how your whimpers stop • Him telling you that everything is alright and that he’s with you while he’d keep on stroking softly over your arm • Him telling you that you can tell him what you saw in that nightmare if you want to  • Him listening to your words while holding you and taking your hand to brush his lips over your knuckles before telling you that he won’t let anything bad happen to you • Him being relieved when he feels you completely relaxing in his arms and finally dozing off again while he’d caress your cheek gently and tell you that he loves you • Him being only able to doze off himself when he’s sure that you're completely in a deep and peaceful sleep • Him not being able to sleep a lot in this night anyway and checking on you every time he wakes up while knowing that he will do everything, doesn’t matter how impossible it seems, for you and your wellbeing
