chapter 1: found
father figure! daryl x reader
summary: the apocalypse has just started a week ago, a small 12 year old girl is alone in the woods. what happens when she gets found?
notes: starting my first series!! this is gonna be a father figure!daryl x reader. later on i might add some carl x reader too!! im using a character for this fic too so hopefully you all like her!! if you like this fic donât be afraid to request something!
safia ran through the woods, a small herd was following her, though she knew she wasnât able to take them on, there were too many. as she ran she saw blurs of green, brown and blues, she didnât know where she was going, hell she didnât know when she was even going to eat again. after awhile of running she hid behind a tall tree, catching her breath. as she stood still she heard rustling coming, it was only one biter. she pulled her knife out and got ready to attack.
she reached nearer and nearer to the noise before it stopped. now was her chance. she jumped out of the bushes only to be met with not a biter, but a man no older than 40. âthe hell ya doinâ?!â the man shouted, she furrowed her eyebrows. âthought you were a biter. sorryâ she turned, ready to go back to the bushes. âhey, hold onâ the man spoke, âyou donât look more than 13, wheres your mom?â she shook her head. âdunno. none of your businessâ safia barked back. âyou alone?â the man asked another question, âyeah? what of it?â âyou should come with me, i gotta camp backâ he pointed behind him. safia thought for a second, she did need food, plus she could take some water too. she nodded, âfineâ the man spoke again, ânames darylâ âsafiaâ she responded back, quickly.

daryl's sweet little boy đ§¸
masterlist
Daryl woke up to the sound of clinking in the bathroom. It was early in the morning, the sun just starting to rise and shine through the curtains. Nobody was usually up this early.
He shuffled out of bed with a grunt and sauntered to the bathroom, placing his hand on the cold metal knob, twisting it open. There he found his 'girl', face scrunched up, tears running down her chubby baby cheeks, clippers in her hand. Her hair was clumpy and shorter, pieces of it on the floor from where she attempted to cut it.
"Whatcha' doin?" he said out loud, pulling his girl closer by the shoulder, using his thumb to wipe the tears from her eyes.
She sniffled, trying to speak through her tears. "Dada, I don' wanna be a girl," she whimpered, clinging onto Daryl like her life depended on it.
Daryl hummed deeply, pulling him into his chest, stroking his hair to calm him. There was a long string of silence before he spoke. "Here, gimme tha', baby."
He took his face out of Daryl's chest with a sniffle and handed him the clippers, still on and vibrating in his hand.
Daryl took him by his forearm and gently pulled him further into the bathroom, so the mirror was in front of them.
"Stay still, 'kay?" he uttered, putting the clippers up to his boy's hair and starting to shave, chunks of it falling to the tile ground, each stroke making the once nonexistent joy grow bigger in his boy's heart.
Daryl switched the clippers off, the buzzing sound that once fulfilled the room coming to an end. The tears on his boy's face were dry by now, a big smile spread across his baby face.
Daryl smiled back, looking into the mirror and running a hand through his now short hair. "Ya like it?"
"Mhm!"
"Thought ya would, sweet boy."
He was Daryl's boy, and Daryl's boy forever.

hii!!
could you do one where daryl and rick are like father figures to the reader? she goes to try to kill negan instead of carl and when she gets back rick and daryl are really mad and she gets into an argument with them?
thatâs it!!đŠˇ
Hi! Thank you so much for the request!!! đ¤đ§ââď¸đ
A/N: itâs been like MONTHS since Iâve written so sorry for literally disappearing, but thank you all for the love! Love you all. Sorry for how long this took to get out⌠but Iâm finally finishing it at like 1am after so many weeks⌠so please excuse any spelling errors! Tysm. I adore all of you xx
Rick + daryl x fem! Reader (reader is 19)
Trigger warnings: argument, zombie stuff, gore, usual twd stuff. If any of it discomforts you please read at your own discretion!
Pinky promise
You knew it was a dangerous mistake. You shouldnât of been so ambitious. But Negan deserved death and you believed you could kill him⌠but it all became clear that it was a mistake. You had made a dangerous and incredibly stupid decision and you knew as soon as you got home Rick and Daryl would certainly have a go at you if not kill you then and there for being so reckless. You knew you were absolutely insane for doing something so unthinkable but Negan had to die. Rick was taking his sweet time and Negan was just going to get stronger, and that scared you, so you wanted to take it into your own hands and kill the man yourselfâŚ
And so here you were gun in hand, pointing it at the clear sheet covering the back of the truck your finger trembling slightly as you waited for the voices to get closer. âThere isnât enough in the truck, weâll have to go out again. Get more supplies and shit. Alexandria is so big yet they canât even supply us enough shit.â âYeah⌠donât know why Negan wonât just kill them all. That way we can actually have a good homeâŚâ the voices spoke back and forth and you tightened your hold on the gun jaw clenched tightly watching as the blurry figures got closer and as a hand poked in through the clear sheet you pulled the trigger bullets spitting out as the men began shouting, followed by multiple âthudsâ proving you had killed a few of the bastards, you continued shooting, even as you jumped out of the truck the bullets flying around mercilessly- some saviours dropping to the floor, dead, and others just falling for the sake of their lives. Your eyes were narrowed as you breathed heavily your teeth slightly gritted together before suddenly a body shoved against yours, Dwight knocking you down onto your back, your gun falling from your hand as you groaned out glaring at the man. âY/nâŚ.â A voice sung out, mockingly and your eyes snapped to meet with Negans. His hazel eyes gleamed with amusement, Lucille lightly hung over his shoulder as he grinned at you âdidnât I get my point across to you before that I really do not appreciate my people being killedâŚâ he spoke your eyes narrowing as you scowled at him. He was a rotten bastard and deserved to be knocked down a peg or two, and so thatâs why you abruptly tried to grab your gun again only for Dwight to kick it out of the way ânot so fastâ he muttered glaring down at you, Negan staring at you the amusement seemingly growing further and further before he exhaled
âI like you, you donât mess around do you? You just do⌠I like thatâŚâ he smirked before stopping just in front of you holding his hand out for you to take âyouâve actually got balls⌠unlike someone else we know.â He spoke that stupid fucking grin remaining on his face and you just glared hoping to punch his teeth in, but instead you reached out, grabbing his outstretched hand before he leaned back pulling you up with his movement as you got onto your feet your eyes boring into his with anger âwe were planning on heading to Alexandria today so youâre in luck. Iâll get you home safely.â âRick isnât home. Heâs out.â You spoke, that wasnât the truth, rick was at home but you didnât want to see him⌠not when you know he will indefinitely be beyond mad at you. âOh isnât he? How disappointing. Guess Iâll have to wait around with you then huh?â And thatâs when you realised just how much you had screwed up⌠Negan wasnât going to kill you because he knew that Rick was going to get angry at you⌠âgod dammitâŚâ you whispered under your breath, Negan smiling still before he turned around âcâmon. Follow me. Iâll give you a tour of the sanctuaryâŚâ and so thatâs exactly what happened, you were shown around, introduced to a few scary people and then given some food much to your surprise⌠it was odd. Being looked after for by your friendsâ killer. It made you feel sick but what made you feel even sicker was what was happening right now⌠you were sat in the truck beside Negan, driving down the familiar road leading to Alexandria. Your heart was drumming in your chest your face pale and lips slightly parted⌠you were in deep shit and you knew it.
Breathing soon became nonexistent, your lips slightly parted eyes wide as you watched multiple people on outpost begin to shout⌠oh dear god. Heavy breaths slowly left your lips your eyes filled with complete fear⌠sure Daryl being angry at you was enough but Rick too- you couldnât handle both of their wrathâs. You didnât even want to experience it but you knew you were going to experience it. âAre you coming into to talk to them?â You soon asked glancing at the man, his hands which were warmed by the leather gloves he wore squeezed at the steering wheel and he grinned at you soon shoving his foot onto the brakes the truck coming to a screeching halt just in front of the gates leading into Alexandria ânah, kid. That isnât my shit to do. You pulled a stupid fuckinâ decision and now youâre gonna face the consequences. I told you I donât ap-â âappreciate you killing my men I know.â You cut him off glaring into his eyes the man looking somewhat impressed before he raised his brows âat least you can learn.â He chuckled out looking forwards as the gate was slowly pulled open âgo on then, your friends are waiting.â He spoke and you looked to the gate as well seeing Rick, hands on his hips, jaw tightly clenched and eyes a sea of worry. You glanced back to Negan knowing he wasnât going to help before you pushed the door open only for the asshole to grab your wrist forcing you to stop âyou not gonna thank me for bringing you home safe and sound?â He asked with a cocky grin and you glared at him âthank. you.â You spat out through gritted teeth and he smirked âyouâre welcome.â
You then jumped out of the truck before storming towards the gate of Alexandria your eyes landing on Rick and a very infuriated yet terrified looking Daryl but you ignored them- you didnât want to deal with their anger right now. âY/n where the hell have you been?â Rick asked, hands remaining on his hips his eyes practically piercing into your soul yet you refused to speak or even look at him because well⌠letâs face it⌠he was terrifying. âY/n where the hell do ya think youâre goinâ huh?â Daryl soon asked gruffly and you glanced at him âhome. You wanna give me a lecture. Fine. But not in front of everyone.â You snapped, both men sharing a look, as if questioning whether you had really just used that tone with them but nonetheless they followed after you, you attempted to slam the front door but Rick was quick to catch it before it could latch âcut that attitude out right now, y/n.â Rick spoke calmly his body language however far from calm âI donât understand why youâre both so unhappy! Jesus Christ canât I try and help out!â Rick and Daryl stood side by side shoulders brushing against each other and Rick tilted his head slightly âdo you realise how incredibly foolish it was to go out there and do⌠whatever you did⌠do you?â He raised his brows his blue eyes piercing into your soul and you rolled your eyes âah ah, no, y/n, eyes on me.â He demanded and you looked at him âyou arenât hearing me- you couldâve been killed. What you did was very stupid. Irresponsible.â He spoke and you glared into his eyes âwell I wasnât! Iâm here- am I not? Iâm fine!â Daryl then took a step forwards âenough. It doesnât matter whether youâre fine or not. What matters is the fact that you pulled some stupid death wish shitâŚâ his eyes searched yours before he shook his head âit was stupid. You mightâve been helping or thinking you were helping⌠but what would we do if Negan brought back your dead body huh?â Daryl asked and you looked away, uncomfortable at that question, because you knew there was no right answer to such a question
âWhat did you do?â He soon asked and you looked back at him âmachine gunned down a bunch of his men.â You murmured shamefully as you looked down, Daryl almost unresponsive whereas Rick was immediately pinching the bridge of his nose his eyes squeezed shut before he exhaled loudly showing his pure discomfort of the entire situation âoh my godâŚâ he squeezed his eyes shut even more before looking at you âhow irresponsible are you? Are you unaware of the fact that Negan has killed many people from this community?â Ricks tone was dangerous, frustrated, bordering on the line of anger and protectiveness âwhat do I have to do to get it through to you that weâre working together to make this safe! Weâre doing everything we can y/n,â âno we arenât! What about the lives we promised weâd get justice for! Have they just all gone down the drain?! We canât just keep up this bullshit! Either he dies or we die! Heâs overpowering us Rick! We need to do som-â Rick soon held his hand up at you âno! Donât you-â ây/n. Youâre getting ahead of yourself.â The man reminded you and you breathed heavily your eyes rage full Daryl moving behind you as he slowly rubbed up and down your back trying to sooth you yet your whole body felt as if it was on fire âwe get that you want to protect us and this community but-â âno! It isnât just that Rick! It isnât! I want to get- I- I wantâŚâ your voice cracked as your heart began to slowly split into pieces ricks expression softening, sure he had seen you open up before but not like this⌠he hadnât seen you like this often⌠nor had Daryl- it surprised both men. âTell me.â Rick spoke taking a step forwards this time, as he slowly reached a hand out resting his hand atop of your shoulder âI-âŚ. IâŚâ Rick remained silent searching your eyes allowing you to take your time watching as your face contorted in all ways imaginable the anguish, pain and fear slowly creeping up on you âhe killed Glenn! He killed Abraham! He killed our friends! Shouldnât we be trying to kill him! He killed Glenn! He killed-⌠he killed the guy who saved your dumbass!â You yelled shoving his hand off of your shoulder, ricks expression showing the pain, he hadnât fully healed- in fact he hadnât healed at all. He hadnât allowed himself to grieve anyoneâs deaths but especially Glennâs. Or Abrahamâs. He was too busy being a leader. Too busy taking care of his people.
âY/n we canât change that⌠Iâm sorry⌠but we canât⌠but what we canât change either is the fact that if you died we wouldâve lost a key part of AlexandriaâŚ-â âweâve already lost a key part!â Your voice cracked and Daryl stared at you âyouâre both bullshit! I can take care of myself! Why donât you think I canât take care of myself?!â Your voice grew angrier before you ran off upstairs Rick running a hand over his face and Daryl just watching you run off âdonât go after herâŚâ he shook his head âlet her cool off. And you cool off tooâ Rick spoke and Daryl nodded knowing he was right. He needed to calm down⌠if he didnât he wouldâve said something he regretted.
A couple of minutes passed- maybe five, or even ten, before Daryl was sent up to console you. You didnât even hear him come in but you felt the bed dip down before you heard his soft breathing âI did what I thought was best.â You spoke more softly and Daryl nodded âI know⌠but it was alsoâŚâ âstupid I know⌠donât need to tell me againâŚâ you murmured softly and Daryl exhaled softly âyou know we just care about you. Thatâs why weâre so worried about you⌠you matter to us.â His hand rubbed up and down your back slowly and gently as you remained curled up in a ball arms wrapped around yourself weakly his touch soft and caring, his rough calloused hands rough against your skin but you didnât care. He was comforting you⌠thatâs all that really mattered.
âI just-⌠why do you keep treating me like a damn child?â You asked clearly upset about that and Daryl frowned slightly his stern features growing more soft as he saw the true confusion and frustration in your eyes âbecause weâve lost people, Y/nâŚ. Glenn, Abraham, Sophia, Dale, Hershel, Merle, Olivia⌠too many people to count..â he fell silent before speaking again not allowing you to say anything âand we canât lose someone else. The stakes are set high. I wouldnât know what to do if I lost you, Y/n. Rick wouldnât either⌠today was stupid⌠sure you did what you thought was best but it was a little bit silly⌠but thereâs always room for improvementâ your head slowly turned to look at him a small smile tugging at your lips before you laughed softly âwho knew you could be so sentimental, Dixonâ you murmured and he stared at you unamused âIâm being serious,â
You smiled softly âI know⌠but I promise I wonât do this again alright? It was stupid⌠I know but it wonât happen againâŚâ Daryl stared at you with a âyeah, sureâ look before you rolled your eyes soon holding your hand out towards him sticking your pinky out at him âfine. Pinky promiseâŚâ you raised your brows the older man staring a softness soon consuming his eyes before a little smile tugged at his lips, shaking his head but nonetheless he locked his pinky with yours
âPinky promise.â

20. Kid
Hannah was sitting on her gazebo all morning, flipping through the pages of a new book. Michonne had brought her back Little Women from one of her runs. With everything that had been happening, Hannah hadn't had a chance to start it until now. Her eyes followed along the lines. She wanted desperately to distract her mind with the story, and yet the words meant nothing. They were simply letters on a page, staring back into blank eyes. Hannah's mind was too muddled to notice their meanings. That morning was the Anderson's funeral. And Hannah didn't go. She couldn't.
That past night Hannah didn't sleep at all, her mind playing the images of the last few days over and over. She felt sick for feeling bad for Ron. And yet she felt sick for not. How could she still care about the boy who shot Carl? How could she care about the boy who let Enid go out on her own? But how could she not care about her oldest friend? About the family that had been so kind to her? She wanted to hate him, she wanted to despise him for everything he did, but she knew she never could. He had been with her since the beginning. She had needed him then, and she couldn't just forget about that.
Then Hannah thought about Carl. He stayed in his house these past few days, only allowing Michonne or Denise in when necessary. Hannah had tried to visit the day before, but as she reached the door, she turned around. How could she face him, Hannah thought. It was her friend who had hurt him. Did he blame her? The thought caught Hannah off guard. Of course, she had been dancing around the idea, but the words hadn't formed in her mind until then. What if he did blame her? What would that mean?
Hannah felt rotten. She felt like the creatures that lurked outside, preying on innocent people. Neither Ron nor Carl deserved their fate. And, selfishly, Hannah felt that she didn't deserve the pain that came with it either.
She turned from her book when fallen leaves crunched under heavy boots. Coming from behind her, Hannah saw Daryl walking slowly, his head low enough that his long hair covered his face. Hannah thought he might pass the gazebo, ignoring her presence, but instead, he stood right in front of her.
"Hey, kid." His voice was gruff, hesitant.
Hannah wasn't sure what to say. She had heard about what happened outside of Alexandria.
She looked up at him, "Hi."
Daryl maybe nodded his head at her or maybe just flipped his hair out of his eyes. Either way, they could see each other now. He opened his mouth just slightly as if he were going to speak, before closing it just as quickly. He looked away and sighed, only to look back at Hannah.
"You okay?" He asked.
"Um, yeah." Hannah was even more confused now. She had only ever talked to this man once and now he acted like she was a species he had never encountered.
Daryl groaned, tired of the awkward air, "Look, I'm just, I'm sorry I wasn't there."
"What?"
"Denise, she told me what happened here. I told you-- I promised you I would teach you to protect yourself and now you're all messed up."
Hannah understood now why he was so nervous. He felt bad. She shifted in her spot on the steps, feeling like her healing wounds were somehow glowing. Enough days had passed that she was allowed to take the wrap around her forehead off, exposing the ugly markings she was left with. It barely looked like the 'W' Hannah knew it was meant to be. It was shaky and haphazard, with some parts more heavy-handed than others. Some of the lighter marks had begun to fade, leaving dark pink lines where deep red ones had once been. Hannah prayed the rest would follow in their footsteps.
She chuckled softly at Daryl, lightening the mood, "Daryl, that-- that's not your fault."
He pursed his lips slightly and nodded once more before turning to leave. Before he got too far, Daryl turned back to face her.
"You comin'?" He called out as if it was obvious for her to follow.
Hannah tucked the photo into her page and put the book to the side of her, "What do you mean?"
Daryl gave her a soft smile, "Well, I can't let you get beat up again."
---
Hannah and Daryl made their way just outside of the walls. The sky was somewhat gloomy as they walked, still full of debris from the fallen watch tower. She followed behind Daryl, who didn't say much as they walked, only occasionally warning her about fallen branches or large tree roots. When he stopped, Hannah realized they had ended up by a small creek. She had seen it once when she went out with Carl and Enid, but she never thought to get any closer.
Daryl left her, heading for a nearby tree to place his things. He pulled his bow off his back, balancing it against the trunk of the tree.
"So, you ready?" he asked, causing Hannah to look toward him.
"Yeah, I guess. I never really shot a gun before," She chuckled nervously. She really hadn't. When everything first happened, her father was the only one with a gun. It was a small handgun, scratched up along the handle from use. He had found it on the ground not far from their shed, likely having been dropped by whoever took the rest of the weapons. Hannah asked him once if she could use it, though already knowing what he would say. He told her, as she expected, that she didn't need to know things like that, that this would all be over before she ever needed it.
"A gun? You ain't shooting a gun." Daryl said. Hannah's face must have given away her confusion. "I'm gonna teach you how to shoot a bow." Daryl now gestured to the bow he had placed down a moment ago. The confusion on Hannah's face swiftly turned into a wide smile as she moved towards Daryl and his bow, ready for her lesson.
They started by simply trying to get her used to the weight of the weapon. Hannah didn't want to admit it at first, but Daryl saw the way her arms struggled to hold it up for long. He moved in, taking off pieces of the crossbow that Hannah couldn't name, then handing it back to her.
"There," He said, "better to learn on the barebones anyway."
After allowing Hannah to adjust to the feeling of the bow, Daryl went back to the tree where he had left his things and rummaged through his bag. While she waited for him, Hannah noticed the bow was already loaded with a bolt.
Daryl then walked past the girl, something red in his hands. Hannah watched as he placed a rather small apple onto a log not too far from her.
"Alright pull this part back," Daryl motioned at the arrow when he came back to Hannah's side. She reached forward, gripping the bolt and waiting for a click. When she heard it, Daryl continued.
"Good. Now here's the safety. Only turn it off when you're ready to shoot." Daryl flipped the switch on the back of the weapon, "And always keep your finger off the trigger unless you're shooting, got it?"
"Okay," Hannah breathed out, focusing on the feeling of the trigger hovering underneath her finger.
"Right, now stand a little wider, kid. You're gonna fly back if you don't."
Hannah spread her stance, planting her feet firmly into the grass beneath her. Daryl raised the bow slightly, now lining the scope with her right eye.
"Line the cross up with the apple," Daryl said once the bow was at the right height. Hannah took a moment, acclimating to the new view. Finally, Hannah saw the red fruit through the scope.
"I've got it," Hannah murmured, mostly to herself.
"Now you just gotta pull the trigger," Daryl stepped back, giving Hannah the space to shoot.
She breathed in a deep breath through her nose, and let it come softly out of her mouth. Her mind seemed to race as it had before on the gazebo. Still, she let her finger meet the trigger, wincing slightly at the force of the bow when it released the arrow. Hannah let out a breathy laugh. When she moved the bow away from her, Hannah saw that her arrow had missed the apple. Instead, it was stuck in the ground just by the log, buried in the dirt.
Daryl must have seen her disappointment, and he quickly started for the failed bolt. Hannah watched as he pulled it from the ground, not wanting to make a sound. She'd really thought she had hit it. She had heard the soft breath come out of Daryl's mouth, silently letting her know he believed in her. She didn't want him to be wrong.
"Here, kid," Daryl handed Hannah the bolt, helping her slide it into place.
"Sorry,"
Daryl looked up at Hannah, "Why're you sorry?"
"I just-- I thought I would hit it," Hannah told the man.
Daryl stepped away once the bow was set up again and sighed. "You'll hit it."
This time, as Hannah readied her finger over the trigger, she tried to calm her mind. She breathed in just like before, but this time she focused only on the metal in her hands. She felt its weight, its power. Then, centering the cross on the apple once more, Hannah released the bolt.
"There ya go!" She heard Daryl call out before even realizing she had pierced the apple. She looked to see that she had indeed hit it, just like Daryl said.
For the next hour or so, Daryl continued to set up apples on the log, showing her different stances to take or having her move to different angles. Out of the 12 he set up, Hannah hit 9 right in their core.
"That was real good for your first time," Daryl spoke as he packed up his things, preparing to head back to Alexandria.
Hannah chuckled lightly, "Thanks. I guess you're a good teacher."
"Damn right I am," Daryl said without looking up, causing Hannah to laugh lightly.
While Daryl worked on his things, grabbing the extra arrows and cleaning the dirt off of their tips, Hannah sat on the ground next to the tree.
"Here, kid, put this in that bag would ya?" Daryl tossed Hannah an apple that still had an arrow stuck into its core. It was the first one she had hit. The sentiment made Hannah smile.
"Thank you," she said softly when Daryl came closer, "For everything, really."
He looked over at her but didn't speak.
"I appreciate you coming out here and teaching me all these things, you know?"
"I shoulda done it sooner," Daryl spoke softly, almost so much so that Hannah couldn't hear, "I shoulda been there," Daryl said those words again and Hannah saw the genuine regret in his eyes.
"It's okay, really. I should have been able to handle it." Hannah stood up from the ground, "I did handle it."
"You did, but you shouldn'ta had to"
Hannah didn't know what to say.
"You're strong, Hannah," Daryl continued, looking at her now.
"You think?"
"Yeah, kid, I do."
â・ďžâď¸ď˝Ąâ・ ďžďż˝ďż˝ ďžď˝Ąââ・ďžâď¸ď˝Ąâ・ ďžâž ďžď˝Ąââ・ďžâď¸ď˝Ąâ・ ďžâž ďžď˝Ąâ・ďžâď¸ď˝Ąâ・ ďžâž ďžď˝Ąââ・ďžâď¸ď˝Ą
Hey Loveliessss! I really wanted the first real interaction between Daryl and Hannah to be as good as it could be (though I'm still not in love with how it turned out). I know Carl wasn't really in this chapter either, but I thought it might be nice to have a sweet chapter between all the craziness to come. I hope you all enjoyed it!!
How do we feel about Daryl and Hannah's friendship??
Thanks for Reading!

Mundane AU with Daryl Dixon as Magnus kinda Dad. XD
I have a gigantic weakness for the "non-blood-related father figure who is gruff and rough". Just the type of character you don't pick right away for being a good candidate for fatherhood, but they are really the best thing to happen to the kid(s). To give you an idea what kind of person I'm talking about, it's your Daryl Dixon (The Walking Dead), and your Shouta Aizawa (My Hero Academia), and Frank Castle (The Punisher), and your Billy Butcher (The Boys). And for some reason, I have lately been fantazising about a human modern day AU with Daryl Dixon being a father figure for Magnus. With college ages shadowhunter gang, where Magnus takes his boyfriend (and their friends and family, aka Izzy, Jace, Clary, Simon) to where he grew up to introduce Alec to the man who practically raised him.
And everyone then being beyond stupefied when it's this biker dude who throws someone through a window when they arrive (because that someone made a disparaging comment about Magnus).
(Also Alec recognizing Daryl as the winner of various bow competitions and having a bit of a fanboy moment)
#magnus bane#alec lightwood#malec#shadowhunters tv#malec prompt#mundane au with a gruff father figure from a different fandom#crossover time#Daryl Dixon having basically raised Magnus Bane in a mundane AU#Mundane college student Magnus is still his glorious self#so no one expected the rough biker to be the guy who raised him#lol

making a grant wilson animation to videotape by radiohead
like the song is literally so him??? like the whole âthis is my way of saying goodbye, âcause i canât do it face to face, so iâm talking to you before / no matter what happens now, you shouldnât be afraidâ is just so reflective of every time heâs tried to cut off someone close to him (scared to marry marco, even at the beginning when he talks to link by projecting himself outside his classroom like ahhhhh) heâs literally got so much going on i love him but also he lowkey needs therapy

chapter 3: habromania
father figure! daryl x reader
summary:after staying at the camp for a few weeks, a new man comes into the picture
notes: FINALLY ANOTHER PART DONE!! im gonna be so fr im not arsed to get the whole description of what happened in the show but i hope you like this chapter!!!!!
safia had been at the camp for about 3 weeks now, she had gotten pretty close to carl and sophia. the three of them often playing together or learning together. about two days ago daryl had gone on a hunting trip, she wanted to go but daryl thought that sheâd be a nuisance. the day after that a few people went into atlanta to scavenge for anything really. a few people started to worry, safia didnât though, she knew theyd all make it back.
once the group finally arrived back (after a LONG few days of the group worrying) safia waited for merle, she had grown fond of the dixon brothers, even though merle could be an ass. but he never showed, she turned around, sitting down on a log by the campfire until she heard morales mention a new guy, she faced the group, wondering who it was. once the sheriff appeared she understood who he was, based on carl and loris reaction. she was shocked, she was told he was dead.
while everyone was sat by the campfire eating, she sat beside dale, he cared about her for some reason. she listened to them all talk about what happened to merle, she kept thinking, âwhatâs daryl going to do when he finds out?â âiâll tell himâ carls dad said, âiâm the reason merles up there so iâll tell darylâ she knew daryl wouldnât take it well at all but alas she couldnât do anything, so she just went to bed
when she woke up that morning she got out of her tent and looked around, daryl didnât come back during the night. safia sighed, sitting next to carl and sophia they talked about the new guy, was his name rick? eventually there was shouting over in the woods, the three children turned their heads towards the noise as a few people ran towards the noise. once they came back daryl was with them, she stood up, ready to say hello but rick spoke first. telling him about merle. daryl was not happy, demanding that they go back and find him, rick agreed. safia wasnât happy that they were going out again but what could she do?

PART 2: ARE WE STILL FRIENDS? âËâŠâš
It wouldn't be a surprise to anyone how much you have a silly teenage girl crush on the leader's son, Carl Grimes. They think it's cute, seeing you get all flushed cause he places his hands around your waist when passing through you and you getting all tongue tied when he asks if you're okay.
Or when you guys were having dinner with the group at Maggie and Glenn's house and he tells you that there's something on your face, then proceeds to use his own hand to rub it off, all the while unintentionally caressing your face. To add more fuel to the fire, everybody shows knowing looks and silent chuckles with one another. It takes all of your willpower not to combust from being flustered and embarassed cause not only did he just unexpectedly caress your face unintentionally, everybody in the group had seen the interaction go down. . . Including his father, Rick.
It all chalks up to just a small infatuation with him, that's all. You're just a girl, you get crushes. It's all just an innocent crush. Given the way that Daryl had described you back when he had caught you sneaking around the forest scrounging for food, you looked teary and doe-eyed, as if you couldn't hurt a fly. Oh Little Miss Y/N, so cute and naive. They wouldn't have thought anything else.
But you'd pay to see the look on their faces when they find out that you'd sneaking into Carl's window just to sit on his lap on his comforter and kiss him through the night. Then with the sliver of dawn seeping through his bedroom curtains, an unspoken meaning where you slip away back where you came in, as if there was nothing between you two.
And that's where you are right now, on his bed with your knees straddling his lap with your arms around his neck, his hands hesitantly going through your waist and drawing soft circles while you two kiss.
You smile into the kiss due to this. It's cute really, how no matter how many times you have his mouth between yours he'll always act as if it's the first time you've ever done something like this. He handles you with such care and delicacy, as if any sudden movement and you'd break, treating you like a porcelain doll. Pulling away, you figured a teasing comment now and then wouldn't hurt the mood.
"Aren't you just sweet?" A small airy chuckle leaves your mouth as you lazily smile, eyes lidded with lethargy from just kissing.
The look on his face is enough to tell you that he wasn't annoyed at your quip, but he seemed as if he's tired of it.
Sighing, he leans in to kiss your lips and pulled away to put his mouth near your ear. As he got closer, you could feel his breath on your ear everytime he exhaled.
"Don't get too cocky now." He smiled as he leans back to get a full view of you, all tired and giggly just from kisses between you and him. You look at his face then specifically to his lips, until going back to his gaze.
Neither one of you seemed like you wanted this to end, going slow and chaste with each touch. Every caress and hold he leaves on your skin is tingly, leaving you hot and unarguably bothered.
Carl seemed like he wanted to take it a little further, leaving you surprised when he slowly but surely puts his hand on the nape of your neck, adding a slight pull to deepen the kiss.
Evidently shocked, when you pull away slightly with your mouth slightly agape until Carl leans in more to capture it, turning the seemingly chaste kisses between the two of you into something more. No matter how different it felt, there was no denying how much you both found it so pleasurable.
As Carl keeps leaning in with his hand still on the nape of your neck, he lays you down on the headboard delicately. When you both pull away, you both just gaze at each other, basking in the loving mood that had been created. With his body on your side with his face still near yours, you both decide leaning in for another kiss wouldn't be the worst idea.
Unfortunately, all good things must come to an end. With all the making out with Carl made you relaxed and sleepy, you barely registered a firm knock on Carl's bedroom door. You both pause and look at the door then look to each other.
Who'd be knocking this late at night?
"Carl? You okay in there?" Shit. You could tell who's that firm but caring voice came from, and it was obviously Rick's.
Like headless chickens, you and Carl scramble to find a hiding spot for you before Rick gave himself the go-ahead to enter, ending up with you under his bed frame.
The door opens and you see Rick's socks entering Carl's room. Luckily before Rick could get in, Carl had situated himself on the bed, going under the covers making it look like he had been preparing to go to sleep.
"Hey Dad, what's wrong?" Carl asked while rubbing his eye, feigning sleepiness.
Breathing is easy, but it felt a lot more stuffy when your friends' Dad is one movement away from finding you under his son's bed. Even so, you cover your mouth, trying your best to breathe evenly. All of a sudden Rick's weight is on the side of the bed, with him sitting on it looking at Carl lovingly.
"No, it'sâ it's nothin', I was just thinkin' about since i've been so busy here now, I never really got to give you the chance to talk to me." He places his hand on Carl's shoulder and gave it a comforting squeeze.
"I just wanted to tell you that no matter how hectic I getâ if you got any trouble, be it problems for yourself or problems about. . . a girl, you know where to find me." He smiled at Carl, the latter doing the same to him also.
"Thanks Dad, thatâ that means a lot." Carl smiled and Rick pulled Carl in for a hug.
This was such a heartwarming scene, if it weren't for the girl seeming under Carl's bed, waiting to be let out. She felt as if she was gonna panic any moment now, plus the fact that she was feeling guilty. Rick was having a heart-to-heart with Carl and all she could think about was about how he laid her down, with his lips chapped yet still soft against hers, the room filled with silence other than their bated breaths.
With both people pulling away, Rick sat up and adjusted his shirt. There wasn't really anything he needed to adjust, he just really needed to fidget with something, otherwise it'll make it awkward.
"I'll see you at breakfast. G'night Carl." He ruffled his son's hair then smiled. Carl seemed to also smile, letting out an chuckle.
"Goodnight Dad." Before Rick could leave the room he looked as if he was contemplating. I guess he finally made a decision when he decided to say one last goodnight.
"Goodnight Y/N." Rick smiled then shook his head chuckling before closing the door.
Y/N crawled out under the bed, mouth slightly agape, and panicked. She didn't know what to think. Rick knew? If Rick knew how did he know? Did the others know also?
"How in the hell does he know? We were so careful too." She said, slight awed. They really were careful, acting as if nothing was going on behind the scenes. She plopped down on the side of the bed next to him, leaving out a sigh then shutting her eyes.
Carl leans forward, with his head nearing hers. "I'm not even sure how. But since he knows it doesn't really matter anymore, so does that mean we can. . ." Carl trailed off, then glancing at her lips, then back at her eyes.
Scoffing with a smile, she immediately got up.
"You cannot be serious right now Carl!" She chastised him softly, and started to ready her stuff as fast as she can.
"I'm seriously not going to stay here any longer. I don't know how much embarassment I can handle knowing Rick, your father knows about this and outright acknowledged me!" She uttered, "I think it's best if I go, I think I can't handle any more guilt 'cause I feel like i'm gonna burstâ"
but before she could pack up any further Carl had stood up and went to her to grab both her wrists to stop her from doing anything else.
"Hey, look at me." Carl let go of her wrists and gently used his right hand lift her chin up. He kissed her chastely, then pulled away to look at her.
"We can handle this. I'll be with you, okay? It's not as bad as you think." He assured her, then placed a loving kiss to her forehead then placing it against his, holding her with such love and care.
"Let's just hope the others haven't found out yet, they'll never let us live it down." You joked, trying to lighten the mood. Luckily it worked, with Carl smiling back at you.
"I don't think it would be so bad, them knowing you're mine."
this one was a doozy, i'm thinking if i wanna make a part two to this hihi (ŕš>âĄ<ŕš) don't be a silent reader and let me know!

OMG CAN YOU PLEASE DO DARYL AS A PARENT FIGURE???!!!?!! đđđ
I HAVEN'T SEEN ANY LIKE THAT đ
A/N: thank you so much for the idea!!! I hope this is okay!!! I was tempted to go full out and have him be an actual dad, but thisâll do for now. If youâd all like an actual story where Darylâs a dad of the reader then please do lmk!! Also there are other Daryl father figure stories on my page so feel free to have a scroll!!<3
Synopsis: reader lost her family at the beginning of the apocalypse, she finally breaks and Daryl is there to comfort her.
Female! Reader x father figure! Daryl.
You were upset. Clearly. Like a ticking time bomb. You were staring down at the ground, the group had gone through a hell of a lot of shit to get to this point and the pain of losing people and seeing such blood shed welcomed in a new emotion for you. Pure agony. Agony that you hadnât felt in a long time. The last time you felt it was when your family had been killed and turned into walkers. And losing all parental figures in one night was devastating.
âYou good?â A voice came from the side and you glanced up seeing Daryl resting his shoulder against a tree crossbow hung over his other shoulder as he stared at you worriedly âIâm fine.â You murmured looking away from him, hearing him make a slight laughing sound as if he didnât believe you âtalk to me y/nâŚâ he wasnât one to ever push but he saw you were struggling. You remained quiet for a while just staring before you slowly looked at him before standing up âI lost my family⌠to the dead at the beginning of this shit show. They were ripped from me in an instant⌠sure my family wasnât perfect but they all loved me and I loved them.â Darylâs face contorted with sadness as he stared at you sadly. Oh how he wished he had a supportive family⌠he only really had Merle and the man was toxic as hell.
âI- I- seeing everything today it just brought back all the memories. Hearing my parents scream for mercy⌠seeing their blood⌠seeing how the dead ripped their faces off.â Tears were now streaming down your cheeks without you even realising as you let out a shaky breath. Daryl slowly got closer to you âI wanted to save them. I hated that I couldnât save them⌠I- I- I needed to save them and it fucking kills me that I canât go back and rescue them.. I shouldâve done more⌠I- I needed to do more they needed me and I just stood there too scared and then I ran off andââ your sobbing suddenly grew louder as then and there you broke in front of Daryl. He was the type you could trust. You wouldnât of opened up like this to anyone else, maybe Rick, but Daryl was like a father to you. At the worst of times he kept you stable.
He wrapped his arms around you tightly âeasy y/n.â He soothed holding you close to his chest. He rubbed up and down your back delicately âblaming yourself doesnât get you anywhere.â He blamed himself over a lot of things so he understood but he knew it wouldnât help anything. âNot your fault.â He spoke to you quietly as you sobbed into his chest, his grip on you was light at first before eventually he secured his grip on you tightening it as he pulled you impossibly closer âitâs okayâŚâ You couldnât focus though, only crying more as your hands weakly pushed against his chest, angry at yourself as weak cries continued leaving your lips Daryl keeping a protective hold on you, your hands continued hitting at his chest and he only held you closer to him âeasy⌠breatheâŚâ he soothed as softly as he could.
He dropped his free arm down momentarily so he could drop his crossbow down onto the floor before he pulled you closer to him again holding you tight âI miss my dadâŚ. I miss my dad⌠I miss him so much.â Darylâs heart broke for you and he held you closer, pressing a small kiss to the top of your head, his hand soon coming up to caress against the back of your head. âItâs okay.. itâs all going to be okay.. Iâm here for you.â He didnât dare let you go. You continued crying about missing your dad and he didnât let go, he just held you, and as your sobbing eventually calmed down he pulled back slightly only to see you now clawing at his shirt to keep him there and he knew you needed him so he leaned in closer to you again.
âYour family would be so proud of you for how far youâve come.â He murmured to you gently. âFor killing people?â You murmured with a soft cry. âNo.â He pulled back resting his hands against your shoulders âfor surviving. Weâve all got to just survive somehow. Right? And you did just thatâŚâ he smiled warmly and you sniffled, before his hand came up to wipe against your cheek getting rid of the tears that lingered against your skin. âLook up.â He nodded up and you slowly glanced up at the dark night sky, twinkling stars shining down on you both. Daryl wasnât the sentimental type to believe stars were lost loved ones but he could pretend for you⌠âtheyâre shining down on you always⌠proud and happy. Supporting you.â A small smile broke out on your face and you leaned into him, holding onto him tightly, âyeahâŚ. Thank you⌠love you.â You murmured quietly without even thinking and he leaned down kissing your forehead. âLove you too sunshine.â

So Beautiful | Daryl Dixon x Fem!Reader
Summary: Daryl had never fully shown you his scars before. He was too afraid of what you might think of him if he did. However, after being together for a while, he decided to finally bite the bullet and show you what he had kept hidden from your view for so long.
Genre: Mostly fluff, some angst if you squint.
Era: Prison, pre season four, post season three.
Warnings: Swearing, Daryl is insecure in this (I wanna hold him and reassure him that everything is okay), mentions of past abuse.
Word count: 1.5k.
A/N: This was meant to be a drabble, but it ran away from me lol. I hope yâall like this!
Daryl was breathing heavily. His chest was rising and falling quickly as he tried to control his breathing and ease his anxiety. It wasnât the first time someone had seen his scars, he tried to remind himself. Carol had seen them. Merle had seen them. Hershel had seen them. It wasnât like nobody knew of them, but he knew that this time was different.
This wasnât some random person that had to patch up some injury he had sustained. This was you. His partner. The one he cared for deeply, on a whole other level than he did others, on a level that the archer was sure was love. The one he could see himself spending the rest of his life with, however short that might be. That made you different from the rest. You were so vastly different.
Talks of the abuse the archer had endured had come up from time to time, but only on Darylâs terms. You never pressed to hear more about his childhood, knowing that Daryl would tell you on his own time if he wanted you to know. And sure enough, slowly but surely, over the months the two of you had been together âofficiallyâ, Daryl had slowly started opening up to you. However, he had never shown you the scars on his back before. He had allowed you to patch up a wound on his chest before, and that had been the most you had gotten to physically see of the cruel pain that had been inflicted on him in his life.
Until now.
The scars on Darylâs back were on full display for your eyes to see as he sat on the edge of the bed in your shared cell with him. With his back turned to you, he didnât have to witness the reaction you would give him. He feared a disgusted reaction, a sharp intake of breath as you fully gouged the extent of the pain he had endured that were gruesomely carved into his skin, a permanent, cruel reminder of his fatherâs abuse. He feared that you would shrink away from him, that you would see him like the worthless piece of garbage most people in his life had viewed him as, like he viewed himself as most times. And the worst part was that he wouldnât even blame you if you did.
However, he had not expected to hear your voice calling out to him, that usual softness and love he always associated with your beautiful voice as present as ever.
âIs it okay if I touch them?â you asked him softly, your tone of voice gentle and sincere. You werenât pressing, werenât insisting on touching them. You were simply asking, and you would be completely okay with it if he said no.
Daryl did not turn his head to look at you, too nervous to do so just yet. However, after a few beats of silence and contemplation, Daryl hesitantly nodded his head. He anxiously awaited the soft touch of your fingers, but they never came. Instead, Daryl felt a soft, tender prodding from something soft against the highest scar on his back, a slight wetness being left in its wake. As the prodding slowly trailed down the scar and onto the next one, he quickly figured out that the soft prodding was caused by your slightly chapped lips.
Daryl sighed quietly at the oddly comforting feeling, an involuntary shiver rolling over his spine. He closed his eyes, relishing in the comfort your actions were bringing him. Slowly but surely, as your kisses trailed over each scar on his back, his initial uneasiness started fading away, instead being replaced by a sense of contentment and love, all thanks to you.
As you placed a final kiss to the lowest scar on his back, you raised up from the bed and moved to stand in front of him. Daryl ducked his gaze down to the floor beneath him, suddenly feeling nervous all over again, but you didnât allow him to do so. You gingerly took a hold of his chin with your forefinger and thumb, and you gently tipped his head up, making him look at you.
Looking deeply into the eyes of the man you loved most, you sent him a small, soft, reassuring smile. âYouâre so beautiful, Dar.â
Daryl scoffed at your words. âAinât beautiful,â he denied your statement. However, he couldnât help the way his heart fluttered at your words. He had never been called beautiful before. He had always considered it to be a feminine compliment, a compliment reserved only for women, a compliment he reserved only for you. So why his heart started beating faster and his cheeks started burning at your compliment, he didnât know.
You laughed softly at his denial, shaking your head as if he had said the most absurd thing humanly possible. And to you, he had. It broke your heart that the man in front of you could not see himself the way you saw him: loyal, fierce, kind, unendingly fucking beautiful. There were so many other things that could describe the archer, and almost none of them were negative. Sure, everyone had their flaws, and there was no denying that Daryl had his flaws as well, but they were part of what made him Daryl. They made him the man you loved, and there was little that you wanted to change about him.
Except the way he isolated himself when it mattered most to talk to people, and the way he viewed himself, but other than that, he was perfect.
âWell, youâre beautiful to me, Dar,â you told him, your hand moving from under his chin to cup his cheeks instead. You rubbed soothing circles over the stubbled skin of his face with your thumb, your eyes looking deeply into the ocean-coloured ones of your partner. âAnd correct me if Iâm wrong, but donât they say that beauty is in the eye of the beholder? Well, Iâm the beholder, and this beholder is telling you that youâre fucking gorgeous.â
Your other hand came up to his chest, your fingers gingerly tracing over one of the jagged marks on his broad frame. âThese donât take away from the way I see you, Dar. If anything, it makes my view of you even better. All this shows me is that life threw you a lot of fucking curve balls before all of this, and you prevailed. Do you know how strong that makes you? How brave?â You shook your head with a huff of laughter, the sound one of wonder. âGod, I canât even begin to explain how much these donât deter me at all. Theyâre relics of a time in your life you overcame, a time in your life I see you trying not to let define your present and future. If thatâs not the epitome of strength, I donât know what is.â
Daryl was rendered absolutely speechless. You truly believed that of him? All of that? You couldnât, could you? Unwillingly, a lump formed in the archerâs throat. He couldnât believe what he was hearing. He couldnât believe that you thought so highly of him, even after he showed you what he considered the ugliest part of him, physically speaking. However, his heart swelled at the knowledge that you did not view him any differently than you had before. You still looked at him with such love, a love he oftentimes felt he didnât deserve, but he definitely was not about to throw it away, either.
âThanks,â Daryl mumbled awkwardly at your high praise of him. He did not know what else to say. He wanted to say so many things to show how much he appreciated your words, how much he appreciated you, but he just did not know how.
You smiled at the singular word that left your partnerâs mouth. It was so simple, so underwhelming, so undeniably Daryl. To most people, that simple response would be a punch to the gut after such a heartfelt confession, but to you, the response was enough. Daryl was a man of action, not a man of words. He showed his appreciation to your declaration in the form of his hands coming to rest and your hips, slightly tugging you forward to stand closer to him, albeit in-between his legs. He also showed it in the way his eyes sparkled up at you, the emotions swirling around in his beautiful irises conveying more than words ever could.
âOf course,â you replied softly to his thanks, your hand trailing up from his bare chest, up his face and to his hair. Your fingers ran through his brown locks, gently untangling any knots in their wake. âYou have no idea how amazing you are to me, Daryl Dixon, but I promise, for as long as youâll have me, Iâll never stop trying to show you.â
Darylâs heart both sped up and stopped simultaneously. Your admission made the archer want to cling on to you and never let you go. He had wanted something, someone like that his whole life. Someone who could look past everything and still love him unconditionally. And he had found it. He had found you, and he certainly did not intend to ever let you slip through his fingers.
âGuess yer gonâ be stuck with me forever, then,â Daryl said in his gruff tone of voice, a small smile tugging at the corners of his lips.
A small chuckle escaped your chest. âI really donât mind the sound of that.â
