You could try and get Daryl to quit cigarettes but that man wouldn't budge..
Once. Just once Judith tells him to quit them, he would immediately throw them into the lake.

Business Class
Pairing :- Norman Reedus × Female Reader
Warnings :- SMUT, Thigh Riding
AN:- Wrote this in 10 minutes, ik its shitty but just wanted to write something :/
This was the first time you were flying with Norman, it was the first time you were flying business too. He was taking you to Florida to meet his family, you were really very nervous. He wished he could calm you nerves a little.
"Wow these seats are so big, we have enough space to sleep in here"
Norman smiled at your amusement "yeah and enough space to fuck in here too"
"Normannnn" you nudged his elbow in feigning anger.
He picked a movie for you to see. Of course it had to be a dirty movie. You became comfortable in your seat and watched it with him, swatting away his hand when it came to your boobs.
You couldn't help but admit that you were turned on too, you wished Norman would do everything that the male protagonist was doing to the female. You wished he took you right there and right now.
As the movie progressed he was turned on evenmore. He looked at you with an intense gaze and patted his thigh. You bit your lip and started pulling down your shorts. You prayed no airhostess would stop by. You crawled over to his thigh and were about to put your leg over his when he stopped you. "What about these?" he asked you tugging at your panties. "Norman please. We are not in our bedroom!" you pleaded. You knew it was futile, he started pulling down your panties until your womanhood was exposed. He pulled you down on his thigh and you moaned as your throbing clit made contact with his rough denims.
"Ride me"
You wrapped your arms around his head and buried your head in his shoulder and started rubbing your cunt against his thigh. There was a wet spot on his jeans in no time.
"So fucking wet"
"Only for you"
"Ride harder and faster"
He gripped your hips painfully and made you ride his thigh so hard that you could feel your clit tug painfully against his jeans. He released his hands from your hips and bought them under your hoodie. He pulled your bra down harshly and started kneading your mounds.
"Fucck Norman I'm close" you whimpered
He took your hard erect nipples between his thumb and index finger and pinched them hard.
"Aaah Norman, yess fuckkk" you reached your climax as you couldn't tolerate the extreme stimulation at your two sensitive areas.
You stayed buried in his shoulder, trying to catch your breath. Norman planted small kisses on your shoulder and ear lobe and tucked your hair strands behind your ear.
"Think you can give me one more"
You nodded meekly, ready to give him whatever he wanted from you.
The End

Imagine Daryl and reader getting it on while hunting in the jungle. Daryl manages to hit a squirrel really far off and his confidence is through the roof and gives you one lust filled gaze, eyeing you up and down. Before you know you are pressed against a tree and Daryl hungrily mauling your tits and placing kisses on your body, not caring whether the bark of the tree is hurting your back or maybe just bends you over a log and has his way with you 🥵

Norman Reedus characters reacting to reader getting a nipple piercing
⚠️ NSFW CONTENT ⚠️
Murphy Mcmanus
He would be the one to urge you to get them
He won't wait to play with them before they are even properly healed. He would repeatedly flick them and pull at the piercings and twist your nipples making them red and sore and making you whimper in pain and pleasure.
If you get cross with him for doing so, he would be soft with them and take care of them, basically workship them.
He would urge you to get a belly piercing as well 😈

SHIPS || Walking Dead
aka just Daryl/everybody basically 😅 But honestly just a quick list of things I ship from TWD for potential memes/fic prompts (or if you just want to message and flail with me about things)!
Top ships (things that interest me most RN. send me stuff, always, pls and thank you)
Rick/Daryl Daryl/Aaron Daryl/Jesus Daryl/Aaron/Jesus Daryl/Negan
Things I ship (probably wouldn’t go out of my way to write fic for it but I like it, send memes pls)
Aaron/Jesus Enid/Alden (I’m sorry, were they not the cutest?) Carol/Ezekiel Andrea/Michonne Glenn/Maggie Rick/Michonne Daryl/Connie Sasha/Bob Gabriel/Rosita/Siddiq Aaron/Eric Tara/Denise
Things I could ship (could see the potential under certain circumstances, still send memes XP)
Daryl/Carol (I did ship them early on, but as the seasons went on that faded. After s10 I don’t see them ever working but I could still maybe see them in earlier season-based things) Daryl/Beth (under very specific circumstances) Shane/Lori (things went to hell in canon but I completely think they were better suited for each other than Lori & Rick) Shane/Daryl (bc I ship Daryl with everybody, ok? It’s a problem. Except it’s fun so it’s not) Daryl/Glenn (and speaking of 😅 But really, there was cute potential in the early seasons)

randomly generated drabbles characters: 8. daryl, aaron, & jesus tropes: 98. Curses & 84. Married to the Job
So this is a loose interpretation of the prompts, more like a general inspo. Also, warnings that this is 1) definitely not a drabble, and 2) definitely not completed. might pop back in with a part two if i’m feeling inspired, but the point of this exercise is to get myself writing again, not to get myself stuck trying to force something, so i’m just gonna post what I have so far. hope you all enjoy nonetheless 😘
In the span of a whisper the blade sank through skin, and the world shattered for all of them.
.-
Paul Rovia was a whirlwind of revelations in Daryl Dixon’s life. Infuriating, frustrating, fucking intoxicating in the span of the first few hours. Daryl’d been hooked in the second their eyes met and Paul had known it. (Hell, Rick had probably known it.) Daryl hadn’t been ready to know it then, though, and so Paul (goddamn Jesus, his salvation and damnation all at once, felt like) had twisted through Daryl in those early days like a thorn in his damn side.
Aaron’d crept up on him slower. Where Jesus had been fire, danger, frustration, Aaron’d always been comfort. From Daryl’s first days at Alexandria Aaron’d melted his way into Daryl’s life, slipping past his walls and filling all the cold empty spaces inside him with endless patience and easy acceptance. Where Jesus had lit him up, Aaron’d soothed him down, a safe space for Daryl to fall into.
If Daryl’d ever thought of himself as someone deserving good things, he’d have thought it was inevitable they’d all find their way to each other. As it was, even if he couldn’t quite wrap his head around what they were getting out of it, he was just grateful they did.
It happened slow, in the aftermath of the war. The years after. They took their time with it. Toeing their way toward each other. Skirting in and back over old wounds. And when they finally did, all three of them for the first time together, it’d felt so damn much like inevitable that Daryl halfway hated every second they’d wasted finding it.
He hated them more the instant that blade slid in, and the fire faded from Paul’s eyes.
.-
There were things you learned, spending years living out in the wild. There were things in the wild that learned you. Daryl’d seen glimpses of Her in flutters and lingering shadows, in shapes of trees warped into the semblance of faces, there and gone the next time he went through. He knew the swamps were Her territory, but he’d never bothered Her much and the things that did seemed to go quiet soon after. So they’d spent the years in a comfortable sort of coexistence. Understanding, distant respect.
Until She came to him in the lonely dark of Paul’s grave.
One hundred dead each day, she’d offered, voice a rustle of leaves through winter forests, a groan of branches in the wind. One hundred dead souls each day for a hundred days, in exchange for your lover’s life.
She’d held it out to him, tempting, like a needle for a vein. A sweetness and a promise of salvation that’d kill him slow in the quest for it.
And that night, curled against Aaron on their too-empty bed, feeling his lover’s already battered soul breaking a bit more on the pressure of choked, brittle sobs, Daryl knew his answer.
Outside the window, the leaves burst into a rush of laughter, and Daryl curled Aaron closer.
And the next morning, he set to work.
.-
Aaron wouldn’t understand, was the thing. Couldn’t. People who hadn’t lived in the wild, who didn’t have it singing through their veins, they didn’t get shit like Old Ones and Bargains and the things that were possible if you were willing to risk worse things than your soul dealing with Them. Daryl slipped out in the morning after Paul’s death and started tracking fresh Walkers. Found a trickle of them, then a herd, and by mid-afternoon he’d reached his kill count. Felt the caress of a twig nicking the back of his hand –– a deal struck, marked in blood –– and made his way home to Hilltop.
Aaron hadn’t said anything, but there’d been a glint of pain in his tired eyes when Daryl’d found him. A hesitation. And then he’d brought Daryl some food and wiped the blood and filth off him, and dragged him back to bed where they’d tried and failed to learn the shape of the world with just the two of them living in it.
.-
On the fifth day, Aaron parted his lips to talk about it. Said “I know you’re hurting, I get it, but––” And Daryl’d shaken his head, a little frantic, and caught Aaron in a too-rough kiss.
He wouldn’t understand, and Daryl couldn’t stand to hear him say the words on the edge of his tongue.
.-
Sixteen days, and Daryl didn’t make it home that night. The sea of dead around them felt endless sometimes, but even they had their limits. Every day he needed to venture further out to find them. Try new paths, weaving deeper into the wild. Every day he had to work harder to find fifty, then eighty, and by the time he’d hit a hundred he’d been scrabbling frantic, tossing himself too deep into danger, close to midnight.
He’d kept working straight through, fighting his way through the night and past dawn. Found his way back to Alexandria halfway through the next day in a daze of bloodied exhaustion.
“We need to talk about this,” Aaron’d told him, eyes stern and voice achingly soft. And Daryl’d nodded, grunted “in the mornin’” and passed out between that and the next breath. In the morning there’d been no words to begin to explain it and Daryl’d left a still-sleeping Aaron with a back soon scrawled on a strip of paper and a kiss cooling his brow.
.-
Twenty days, and She tripped Daryl with the subtle shift of a root as he dodged back from a Walker’s grasp. Twenty-six and She caught at the dead’s flesh with thorny fingers as a horde chased close on his tail. Her whims shifted with the weather, but as far as Daryl could tell he was paying his way by entertaining Her.
He did his best to give her a show.
Thirty-one days and he killed a mass of dead in an explosion. Felt like a hundred-fifty, easy, ‘til a rush of doubt set in and he spent the rest of the day killing another sixty in a panic and praying to whatever blessed damn Old One might be listening that there’d at least been forty in that first blast.
Midnight came and went, and She didn’t appear to tell him he’d failed his task. After that, though, Daryl killed them by ones.
.-
Two months and Daryl was spending more nights away than with Aaron, tracking herds and then hordes for miles. Picking them off slow where he could, counting kills under his breath like a mantra. And when he couldn’t get ‘em slow... hell.
Then he fought.
He collapsed onto Aaron’s couch (their couch, still didn’t feel like theirs) after eight nights gone. Nearly dozed off ‘til he felt a shadow standing over him.
“We need to talk about this.” Aaron’s tone was all stern this time, that soft understanding of the past weeks scorched out of him. Daryl thought about pretending to be asleep. His aching body begged him to.
He slitted his eyes open.
“I know you’re grieving,” Aaron said, and Daryl’s throat choked on a growl, denial tightening it to something painful. Grief was an aftermath. Grief was acceptance. Daryl hadn’t been grieving.
“I know this is what you do, how you process, but––”
“What I do?” rolled out, and it was clipped, aggressive. Exhausted. Daryl’s body was a wreck of bruises and strained muscle and every inch of it wanted to crawl against Aaron for comfort. But there was a chasm in their chests keeping them separated and Daryl hadn’t even noticed himself digging it.
Aaron didn’t flinch.
“Hide. Run.” He answered plainly. “Cut yourself off, like you did after Rick––”
“This ain’t that.” It wasn’t. Rick had been a hunt. This was a quest. This was different. Rick was blind hope, but this? There was a clear end in sight. Forty-two more days –– not two months, even –– and the whisper of the wind would hand Jesus back to them.
Aaron was riling, though. Tensed tight, his infinite patience worn to rags as he stalked in a step and hissed, “So what is it like, then? You looking to die? Looking to go out like he did?”
It hit like a blade sinking through. That notion. ‘Cause Jesus wasn’t. Wouldn’t be. Not unless Daryl fucked up here.
But... hell. To Aaron he was.
The thought stalled Daryl’s righteous rage in its tracks. To Aaron, he was. Daryl hadn’t been grieving all this time, couldn’t be, but Aaron had been. Alone.
Daryl pushed to his feet, ignoring the protests of his wrecked body. For the first time in weeks or longer, he took in the worn lines of Aaron’s face. How much older he looked now. Exhausted. And that’s how the gulf had gotten there. All these weeks Daryl’d spent chasing the lover they’d lost, he’d lost track of the one standing next to him.
“Hey...” His hand lifted to catch Aaron’s cheek, but Aaron wasn’t ready to be calmed. He catted out of the contact, caught Daryl’s shirt. Held him for an aching beat, then shoved back.
“Paul’s gone, Daryl. He was reckless and restless and went out looking for a fight and it got him killed.” The words were blades. They were wrong. But... they weren’t. Jesus’s soul had been born for the wild, same as Daryl’s. Maybe that was why She’d been willing to deal for him in the first place. But Aaron didn’t know that. And he was all balled up exhaustion and anger and still-bleeding wounds as he snapped: “I can’t deal with you doing that too.”
It was an ultimatum. A wall building. In or out, and Daryl could feel the pressure of it hitting him straight through the middle as he dug for some loophole, some door.
“Ain’t what this is,” he managed, and Aaron looked at him, every bit as wrecked as Daryl felt as he asked plainly: “Then what is it?”
But what could he say?
A second dragged past, then another, in frozen quiet, broken finally by Aaron’s tired sigh.
“I can’t do this again, Daryl. Eric, then Paul... we lose people in this world, I get that. But I can’t just wait around watching you chase it. So you either give up whatever the hell this is, whatever revenge mission you think you’re on out there... You either stay here and figure this out with me... grieve with me... or you go.”
A branch rustled the side of the building. Daryl’s lips parted and shut. Forty-two days left, and Aaron would understand.
Daryl went.
.-
Seventy-six days and Daryl was sitting on the edge of the hospital bed, wrapping gauze along his stitched arm. He’d been slow, stupid. Clumsy. Running on fumes. Tripped straight into the edge of a rusted car door and split his skin open.
He’d thought about going to Hilltop. Getting stitched up by Enid, safe and far from the still-bleeding wounds left behind here.
But Alexandria’d been closer. And gods knew he didn’t have time for damn detours.
A lanky shadow fell over him.
“Heard you were here.” The voice was soft. Soft enough Daryl almost forgot the last, brutal words he’d heard from it. When he looked up, Aaron’s eyes were carefully cold.
“Got cut,” Daryl said, like that was any kind of an answer. He watched those eyes shift to the wound, caught the flicker of something in them. Pain, frustration, aching want.
Or maybe that was Daryl, projecting.
“Still fighting, then,” Aaron said, and Daryl wondered when they’d become the kind of people who’d communicated in two and three words. Seventy-seven days ago, whispered through him like the slice of a blade, but he wasn’t sure that was right. The estrangement, the coldness, the endless gulf and the wall Aaron’d built to ward it... all that’d come after.
Daryl wondered for the first time, vague and distant, if this wasn’t the true price he was paying. Not a hundred a day to win Jesus back. Just one. Lover for a lover. Gain one back, but lose another along the way.
It had Their kind of sick humor in it.
And Daryl’d never thought of himself as someone deserving good things. Lived a lifetime of bloodied teeth and hope ground out under cruel, careless heels. He’d dealt with it all ‘cause he could. ‘Cause what the hell else could he do but take his losses and keep moving forward? But now, watching that worn, resigned look in Aaron’s eyes, feeling the gulf stretching seemingly endless between them... that didn’t feel like an acceptable loss anymore.
“He ain’t dead.” It fell out on a breath, barely a rasp of sound. But it was enough to break through Aaron’s apathy. He froze, his furrowed brows pinching deeper. Confusion bleeding past the cold. His lips pursed, a shape of a what rising and fading. And Daryl sighed, pressed his eyes shut, and spoke.
.-
Aaron couldn’t understand.
They were back in their house now. (His house... or was it?) Stood at opposite ends of a too-long couch, squared off. Daryl could see the panicked spin behind Aaron’s eyes the second he’d started explaining. Slow swirl of confusion speeding to something else. Concern. Doubt. He said “Daryl,” just that, and the careful pitch of that tone nearly broke him.
Daryl flinched.
“Don’t say it ain’t real.”
A careful pause. The coldness was gone like it’d never been there, but the thing in Aaron’s eyes now was so much worse.
“I... know you want it to be real.”
“Don’t.”
“Daryl, you just told me the wind whispered to you.”
“Ain’t the damn wind.” Aaron couldn’t understand. Daryl couldn’t explain it. How could a person explain the kind of shapes Old Things took, the subtle ways they let you glimpse them? Daryl’d had a sense of them his whole life, seen shadows and signs since he’d stepped into his first forest. Learned lessons on his mama’s lap back before he’d been old enough to have the rules of real and fantasy drilled into him. Daryl knew, deep in his bones, but there was no way of describing it.
Aaron’s eyes were the eyes of a rational man faced with the notion of a loved one’s madness. Worried. Heartbroken. Eyes of someone debating calling the loony bin on him, if there’d been a loony bin left to call.
“Month left,” Daryl tried, grit and a ragged plea laced through the words all at once. “Twenty-four days, that’s it. Then call me crazy.”
“I’m not calling you crazy,” Aaron said, soft. His eyes begged to differ. He took a step, then another, to close the gulf between them. His hand lifted to brush Daryl’s cheek. “I’m... Daryl. That’s two thousand, four hundred Walkers. That’s over two thousand risks you’re taking.”
Daryl’d never bothered doing the math. What the hell’d math ever done for him but try to stick him up, thinking on it. He pressed his eyes shut, leaned into the achingly sweet warmth of Aaron’s hand. Said, clear as he could manage: “S’one shot to get him back.”
Aaron didn’t answer, but when Daryl opened his eyes again he saw a sickly understanding in Aaron’s own. Lips parted, an argument rising and dying as Daryl watched, and then Aaron was leaning in to press his forehead to Daryl’s.
For the first time in seventy-six days, it felt like coming home. They lingered in the contact for a few seconds, savoring. And then, soft, comforting, Aaron kissed him.
“Your life’s worth something too,” Aaron murmured, and Daryl felt some fractured piece of his soul mending. A smile ghosted his lips. He pressed it into Aaron’s bushy jaw.
“Ain’t gonna get myself killed. Can’t finish savin’ his ass then.”
It was half a joke, reflexive brush-off of those heartfelt words, but he felt Aaron’s body unclench at them. Like he’d really been terrified, all this time, all these kills... really were just a suicide mission.
Daryl led Aaron to bed and kissed him soundly ‘til the last one of those notions left his head.
.-
In the dawn light, as Daryl dragged himself out of bed and dug around for his scattered boots, Aaron offered: “I could come with you.”
“Couldn’t,” Daryl answered, not glancing up from the knot in his lace. “S’my deal. My kills. You takin’ some’s just gonna make it harder.” He could feel an argument building, sleep-fogged but passionate, in the way Aaron shifted against the sheets. And Daryl half-wanted to let him. Wanted to be talked into it. Into the company, at least, or the sensible head on Aaron’s shoulders. Into having someone to watch his back when a herd caught his scent, or flash a grin at after a narrow escape.
God, the loneliness had seeped so deep inside him these past months. He just wanted something to lean on.
He set a hand on Aaron’s knee. Dragged it down his shin, soothing. “And you got Gracie to think of.”
That settled it. Daryl felt the fight go out of him, the tired sigh. Winning didn’t mean Aaron liked it. When Daryl looked over, he saw a helpless war fighting through him. Ache of an almost-plea in those eyes. Stay.
It wasn’t anything to do with Jesus. Aaron still couldn’t believe that, even if he was trying. He was too rational. Too solidly set in what the world was supposed to be like, not what it was. He was looking at Daryl, saw someone grieving. Saw someone sick in the head, probably. Was just trying to figure out what Daryl needed to keep him from snapping harder.
Your life’s worth something too, he’d said the night before.
Daryl let his boot drop, turned to lean over Aaron.
“Hey... You trust I ain’t gonna get myself killed, out there?”
There was a heavy pause. Aaron sighed.
“No one plans on getting themselves killed, Daryl.”
And there was truth in that. Painful, bitter, and too familiar on the back of both of their tongues. If planning to live meant any damn thing at all, the world’d be full right now and Daryl’d have no walking corpses to fill his deal with. Hell, Jesus would be here, wrapped up safe in this bed, and Daryl’d have no need to fill it.
His gaze softened. He leaned down, kissed Aaron. Raw and quiet against the brush of his lips, offered: “Trust I love you?”
Eight years, probably, of that being true, and Daryl’d never managed to utter it. Sure as hell never braved those words to Jesus, before he fell. Aaron stared up at him, eyes a watery gleam in the dawn light. He wet his lips, bobbed a nod.
“I trust that.”
“Good. Hold that, ‘til I come back and say it again.”
