Warnings/Mentions: History of abuse, neglect, strong language, mentions of character death, alcohol and drug abuse, ptsd, shared trauma, reader is cold, angst, fluff, eventual smut

Summary: Reader gives friendships a try, and the first signs of Daryl changing start showing after unexpected tragedy.

Notes: I love writing Merle and early season Daryl, I hope they're in character!

"I'm ten seconds away from blowing his goddamn brains out."

"Not worth the wasted bullets." Daryl watched as Shane stalked back up towards the Greene house. You scoffed and rolled your eyes when you saw him stopping himself from slamming the door, at least needing to respect Hershel gave him some restraint from being a complete piece of shit. You weren't sure how long that would last though.

"Can't fucking stand these people Daryl. He looked like he wanted to kill me."

"Ya called 'em a homewrecker. The hell'd you expect?"

The days would go by without pause, no matter how you all screamed and cried for just one minute, one minute to get it together and breathe. Everything was constantly changing, and it ended up making you colder. 

The Greene farm was a nice place. You enjoyed the chores you took on there, you got to work with the horses, the cows, and the old barn cat. He'd end up passing away after a while, which would have really upset you if it hadn't been such a peaceful death, he just fell asleep with a stomach full of deer stew and never woke up. 

Andrea's strange half admiration and half disturbed likeness to you strengthened at the time on the farm, which you didn't know how to handle. You'd always wanted a girlfriend, ever since your first one in 6th grade ended your friendship. Your mother had shown up to pick you up from school, so high on Percocet she could barely keep her eyes open. She rear-ended the father of your friend, he got pissed, she spit in his face, and he called the police. ‘My daddy says I can't hang out with trailer trash like you anymore.’ She'd told you the next day. 

You secretly liked the way Andrea looked up to you. It was nice having a woman think highly of you, or any adult for that matter. She would often ask for shooting practice, and you even let her try out your bow a few times. 

She kind of fucked up your budding friendship when she shot Daryl. If you hadn't been so busy helping him get up into the house you would have shot her in her foot, and that's not an exaggeration. You wanted to stay up in that room with him until he fully healed, willing to sleep on the floor just so you'd be with him at all times, but the insecure fear of being seen as weak and clingy prevented you from doing so. You were out in the woods most of those days, hunting or killing any dead you ran across.

It was almost humiliating the way people would update you on Daryl’s condition. At first it was just Rick letting you know he’d be okay, but then it was Maggie and Hershel updating you on his eating habits, how much he ate, when he ate, he was only in bed for a couple of days, but it felt like weeks. Each time someone would tell you the miniscule details of his day you’d respond the same way, ‘Why’re you telling me? I’m not his mamma’. If you could look past the embarrassment of feeling like a worried child, you would be grateful. 

Andrea unknowingly made it up to you when you heard her bitching at Lori in the kitchen once, apparently having enough of her ‘a woman's place is in the kitchen making life worth living, leave the guns to the men' spiel. You complimented her afterwards. 

“Been real sick of that shit.” You had said as you loaded your Ruger pistol. “She's lucky it was you who said it, I think I would've punched that bitch in the face if she said that bullshit to me.”

Andrea was almost too stressed over the Beth situation to fully appreciate the gravity of your praise. She nodded as she looked over the field, eyes squinting against the bright afternoon sun, her arms crossed over her chest. “All my life I've heard that kind of thinking from men. It's different when it's a woman telling you that you're not worth the same as a man. Especially when said man lied about her husband being dead and got in her pants right after.” 

You smirked, stuffing your gun into the back of your jeans as you looked her over. “Wanna go kill some dead people?” 

“Oh, god.” She groaned dramatically. “That's the best idea I've heard all week.”

After you lost the farm, you wound up at an old prison. That was one of the rare times you had allowed yourself to try and be positive, and forced yourself to make friends, although it was obvious all your relationships were strained. Andrea was the only person who had ever made an effort to get to know you, and she was gone. 

Shane’s death didn’t affect you much, truthfully you were glad Rick killed him. The constant tension and heated arguments drained you just as much as Dale’s annoying humanitarianism. You attempted being friends with Lori, Hershel, Carol and Beth, despite the young girl being your polar opposite. She was soft, pretty, sweet and bubbly, you were hard, mean, vulgar and distant. 

Which might be one of the reasons your relationship with her had started to work. Beth saw you as a challenge, like a mean feral cat, and deep down you saw her as a possible redemption. If you could become friends with Beth, the sweetest girl with the kindest heart, you could do it with anyone. 

Lori never trusted you, so you never got far with her. She would look at you with this look on her face, like you were always seconds away from cutting her baby out of her stomach or some twisted shit. You had cursed her out once for said expressions, calling her a stuck-up bitch who thinks every woman that isn't her is beneath her. She died a couple days later, and a part of you that you couldn't push away felt like shit about it, for a very long time.

The whole Governor shit was a pain in your ass. But it was a blessing in disguise, because he was the reason you were reunited with Merle. 

“I want to come.” You stood your ground, grabbing your Ruger AR-15 from its spot on your cell wall. 

“I said no, we’ve got enough concerns, we don't need to be worrying about you.” Rick tried to speak in a hushed tone, his intentions good, not wanting you to feel embarrassed if the others heard you being denied. They knew you seethed at the prospect of being told what to do. You didn't work well with others, that was glaringly obvious.

“I don’t need you to worry about me.” You hissed, tugging the heavy gun over your back so the strap dug into your shoulder. 

Rick repeated your name, using his angry father tone, and that seemed to work. Your shoulders drooped and you growled out a few insults under your breath. You missed when the group members had more say in the way things were. Rick had become more authoritarian after Lori died, and it never affected you until that day. 

When they got back you were waiting at the door, pacing like a mother in those movies whose children had stayed out too late. Your eyes brightened as they filed into the prison, you saw Maggie and Glenn were back, and Michonne had returned as well. 

Your anxious smile slowly faded as the door closed behind them, counting two missing bodies. 

“Where…?” You breathed, looking between Rick and Maggie, your heart racing. 

Rick started having a goddamn mental breakdown after that, screaming at the walls and pointing his gun at things only visible to him. Tyrese, the newcomer, and his group fled, and a part of you considered it as well. If Daryl and Merle were dead, you had no reason to stay. Especially not with Rick behaving like a fucking maniac and no one speaking to you. 

True to your nature, you abandoned the prison in search of the Dixons. You knew they couldn’t have truly left, they would never do that, they'd never leave and forget you. Especially Daryl. He had promised to you one night after you fully secured the prison, that he was the one thing in your life that would never change. He’d never die, he’d never leave, he would always be there. Not in those exact words, of course, but in his own way.

He had stayed true to his promise. You found the two of them on their way to the prison, traveling through the same trails you’d originally used to find the place. 

“Thought I’d never see you two assholes again.” The apocalypse had made you more skilled at hiding your true emotions. You came off as playfully irritated, a contrast to the way you were barely keeping tears at bay. 

“Awww,” Merle teased in a condescending tone, faking a pout, “You miss us?”

“No. Rick’s group makes you seem like a peach though.” 

“Our group.” Daryl’s voice had taken on a strange edge as he walked ahead of you down the trail. “Those are our people now.”

You glanced at Merle to see he was outwardly displaying your same reaction, rolling his eyes and silently mimicking his brother's words. 

No matter how happy you were to see the two of them, Daryl’s reply echoed in your head for a long time. He meant what he said, you could tell by the way he spoke. He was changing, you hadn’t noticed it until that day, he wasn’t the same Daryl from Atlanta, the Daryl you knew. You swallowed your retort and followed him back to the prison. 

The Governor shit was really a pain in your ass after that day, making your earlier experiences a walk in the park. Through the tense days you found yourself around Merle more, the two of you discussing the prospect of just getting the fuck out of there in hushed voices, despite you both knowing Daryl would never abandon Ricks group. It was like he had some sort of unknown obligation to them, something you couldn't decode for the life of you, no matter how hard you tried.

“You're gettin’ real close to bein’ a bonafide pussy, boy.” Merle had said one day, shoving his finger in Daryl’s face. You stayed silent as they argued, biting at the soft skin inside your cheek. 

“Why? Cause I ain't jus’ lookin’ out for myself no more? Cause I actually give a shit about these people?” Daryl standing up to Merle wasn’t a familiar sight, and it made you feel emotions you really weren’t comfortable with. 

“It’s making you weak, brother.” Merle urged, nearly slicing his own scalp when he went to put his hands on his head, the heat of the moment causing him to forget his right hand was now a weapon. “Can't you see it? I ain’t gonna let you die for these sheep.”

Daryl would soon come to regret his last interaction with his brother. You, on the other hand, were lucky enough to have had some peaceful final moments with him before he vanished. 

“Dude, that's my fucking bed!” You shoved Merle away from your mattress, groaning when you saw it shredded and ruined. You’d have to go to the other cellblock and get another, if he hadn’t already paid those cells a visit. 

Merle sat on the floor breathing heavily through his mouth, resting an arm over his propped up knee.

“The hell you do that for?” You grumbled, kicking a chunk of bedding out of your cell and into the hallway. 

“Hopin’ to find some contraband.” 

“Dude, you could’ve just asked me. Holy shit.” You grabbed one of your bags from the corner of your room and began to dig through it, finally pulling out Merle’s old stash bag. HIs eyes lit up and he practically jumped for joy, snatching it out of your hands.

“You’re so fuckin’ beautiful, you know that?” He grabbed your face with his hand and noisily kissed your cheek, making you groan and shove him off. “Oh sweetheart. Whooo! Daryl know about this?”

“No, didn’t want him to know. I’m better at making shit last than him.” You replied. Daryl didn't like drugs the way Merle did, he had his run in with meth and its consequences and he was strong enough to quit and not touch it again. Other drugs were a different story though, you suspected the speed and painkillers would be gone by now if he had known you were the one who stole it.

He fished out the group of smaller baggies he was looking for, full of various shades of white in different textures. He groaned like he just creamed his pants and leaned over, planting another dramatic smooch to your forehead.

You stayed with him on the floor of your cell as he got high, and eventually he left to go ‘clear out the walkers in the tombs’, something you were happy to sit out on. He told you to stay back and you laughed, teasing with a ‘it's all yours, tweaker’. 

Even though your last moments with him were pleasant, you never forgave yourself for not accompanying him.

[hushedhippie]

Six months ago I decided to “be selfish” and take back putting energy into myself instead of only doing things for others. All spring, Ruger and I were not only overcoming our own anxieties together, but also competing against 35 lovely riders to see who could get the lowest times in patterns before the season ended. Ruger and I were head to head with another rider for overall champion and I am so proud of the progress Ruger has made because we’re overall champions baby!!!!! So many happy tears were cried on the way home because connecting with these beautiful animals and this sport has absolutely changed my life.

BIO

Jesse was born the younger brother of Jason Geller in Shreveport, Louisiana. He grew up admiring his brother, trying to emulate and follow his footsteps at every step as he grew up.

His academic record was nothing of note, but his scores on the ASVAB test had recruiters at his door, alongside his brother. He was a naturally good shot, excelling in trap shooting clubs in school and out-hunting even the most seasoned hunters in the area.

Jesse enlisted in the service as Jason did, and did his time overseas with two tours. When he got out after his brother, he joined him in creating the Red Claw Mercenary group as his second in command.

When Jeremiah Mitchell killed Jason, it was done in secret, and no one knew who committed the murder. Jesse had his suspicions that it was JJ, knowing that the latter did not tolerate their proclivity for taking missions from the Black Dragon.

Fun Facts

He once won a state trap shooting competition.

His .50 cal rifle is military issue, and is equipped with a BORS system.

He is very superstitious. He refuses to walk under ladders and has several routines he performs before big missions. He once saw a black cat cross the street in front of him and he canceled the contract.

He's an avid fisherman, and has a boat he takes out on the lake.

Has broken his nose 3 times. His right arm twice.

He continues to go by "Talon-2" despite his brother's (Talon-1) death.

Trophy Hunters of Tomorrow

Tyler Poole of Hankamer, Texas, has been deer hunting several years and has seven whitetails and one mule deer to his credit. The 12-year-old seventh grader at Abeka Christian Academy got the chance to go after mule deer in the Texas Panhandle when his dad, Jared, applied for a Big Time Texas Hunt with Texas Parks and Wildlife Department. Each year, TPWD makes a lot of good hunts available on Wildlife Management Areas (WMA) and other places in Texas, and lucky hunters often come home with trophies of a lifetime.

Jared was accepted for the mule deer hunt on the Yoakum Dunes WMA in Cochran County, with Tyler as a guest hunter. The hunters gathered their guns and gear and traveled to Cochran County, where they met their guides at the WMA headquarters near the small town of Whiteface. Tyler carried his Ruger 6.5 Creedmoor and a pocket full of shells.

At dinner on the day of their arrival, Tyler and his guide planned a hunt on the vast 14,037-acre WMA. The vast West Texas area is home to a good population of mule deer, and the hunters would cruise the backroads looking for a good buck. Long stalks to get in position for a good shot are not uncommon, and Tyler found out how difficult it is to get in rifle range of a mule deer in the sand dunes of Cochran County.

On the first day, Tyler and his guide got close to a buck or two, but had no luck in the stalk. The next day, they went back after a good buck that they had seen the day before. The deer was unusual, because the G-2s did not fork, but the antler tines were long and Tyler wanted to test his 6.5 Creedmoor on the buck.

In the afternoon, the hunters spotted the buck they were after, and Tyler decided to try for a stalk that would give him a decent shot. After walking and then crawling through the shin oak brush for hours, Tyler finally got a good shot with his Ruger 6.5 Creedmoor at 170 yards. The buck went down, and Tyler had his first mule deer.

Jared had also taken a wide mulie buck, and both father and son returned to Hankamer, just east of Houston, with big smiles. The Big Time Texas Hunt for mule deer had paid off!

Tyler and his dad decided to enter their bucks in the 2023 Hunters Extravaganza Annual Deer Competition in Houston. Both buck were outstanding, but Jared beat Tyler for Best Texas Mule Deer by a few inches. Tyler plans to take a whitetail during the 2023-24 season, and it might be a hunt with his new bow. Jared is a bowhunter, and Tyler plans to take up the sport.

“The Panhandle hunt was special for me and Dad,” Tyler said. “We both enjoyed the sandhill scenery, and the guides were great on the Yoakum Dunes WMA.” The Houston deer contest was the first for Tyler—but probably not the last.

Tyler says he likes to hunt and fish, and has done a lot of both. He also likes Little League baseball. As for deer hunting, he likes it all—but prefers evening hunts. Texas Trophy Hunters Association wants to congratulate Tyler for his first mule deer buck, and hope it’s not his last. —Horace Gore

|| Henry & Corey ||

Corey looked down the pipe of a sleek, comfortable Ruger rifle, peeking ahead with one eye open to count the holes the few rounds he’d done had made on the target down the aisle and beyond the safety line of the shooting range. He locked the safety and disengaged, nodding satisfactorily at the guide gun he’d just tested out for the first time - a perfect bear rifle, maybe the best one he’d held in a while. “Huh? Did you say something?” He imagined he might’ve heard Henry speak up next to him but it could’ve been his imagination. After all, the safety gear on his head, including padded ear mufflers and goggles were still on him, shutting him off from the world around. So he worked to get those off his head while he returned the gun to a holder on the side, perhaps to be tried again later or maybe Corey would try another one on display there, ready to use. 

“Sorry man, I got a little excited there for a second, were you saying something?” He asked, volume lowered now to something that was no longer, well, shouting. He looked to his friend keeping him company at The Range, the two enjoying a shared hobby, which was shooting - Corey mostly for hunting purposes now, a very much retired veteran ever since he’d left the military. The only time he’d pick up anything that could hurt anyone was a scalpel or a hunting rifle, the first only done to save lives and the latter only when it was the season.

Ruger SFAR Ammo Selection…Hunting Season?

Over a year ago I picked up a new rifle from Brownells to gear up for hunting deer and possibly elk. The Ruger SFAR or “small framed autoloading rifle” is basically a .308 caliber rifle in a smaller size and weight that’s similar to the standard AR-15. When it comes to hunting, of course you want to shed weight wherever you can and your selected firearm is one of those possibilities. This particular rifle has been let’s say a challenge to prove to me it’s reliability and effectiveness in any situation much less a hunting scenario. But after multiple serv ice tickets opened with the folks over at Ruger, I think it’s finally worthy of a hunting season in my arsenal.

Once the functionality issues were ironed out I started to explore the accuracy issues with this rifle. I quickly found out that it suffered from some accuracy issues. This rifle was truly struggling to perform even remotely close to some of the worst rifles I had ever shot. Some people stated it could be related to the suppressor being used, but even without a can attaches, it struggled to get anything close to 2 MOA at 100 yards. I had tried all sorts of different ammo brands, bullet style and grain weight. It liked pretty much nothing. Now is 2 MOA acceptable enough to take large game? Let’s not kid ourselves, but yes it will do it. However, starting out with such poor accuracy doesn’t give much confidence in a hunting situation. Nothing worse than missing a shot and suspecting your chosen gear to be the biggest contributing factor. After many range sessions I decided to inspect the barrel and found some machining issues that I thought could be affecting the lack of accuracy that I was experiencing. Ruger ended up swapping the barrel for me with about a 2 week turn around.

Once I received the rifle back from Ruger I started to experience the accuracy I knew this rifle was capable of which is 1-1.5 MOA. Ruger did send a test target with sub 1 MOA 5 shot groups, but this was using match ammunition and my main focus was to be on hunting loads. I chose a variety of heavier loads dedicated for hunting and started additional testing. This rifle really seemed to prefer the 175 and 178 gr loads from Federal. To be specific their Ascent 175gr and 178gr ELD-X. With both of these ammo choices I’ve been able to get right around 1-1.5 MOA consistently. I recently grabbed some more of these 2 loads from Brownells to do just a small bit of dialing in using these loads. I believe that either of these loads will do the job on either whitetail deer or elk and out to distances past 200 yards without any drama. This entire ordeal has been quite an ordeal on both my patience as well as my wallet. Looking back at this rifle, it’s truly hard to recommend it except for the most patient of individuals. Hopefully I’ll be able to get a shot on big game this hunting season using this rifle and one of my 2 selected loads.

Firearm Project Goals…2024

The very first goal, which is truly a trickle over from last year is to get my Ruger SFAR 16” .308 rifle running 100% and ready for deer season or even possibly a chance at some elk. This rifle project came about towards the latter part of 2023 and hasn’t been without some trails and tribulations. After picking up this rifle from Brownells in the fall, it’s had numerous issues, some expect3d and some not so expected. As I write this, I have plans and backup plans to solidify this rifle into my reliable collection.

The next project which is one that I’ve been thinking about for quite some time and almost started on last year is the Brownells BRN-4. This is a faithful reproduction of the HK416 rifle system, but at a much more affordable price point. Brownells worked with some manufacturers to reproduce the major components and they’re even compatible with original HK parts. My plan is to produce a near clone of this rifle at some point this year. At this writing, the complete upper assemblies are out of stock, but Brownells has had them in and out of stock for quite some time now.

Another project I would like to get underway is a new concealed carry pistol. I’m long overdue for a new pistol for my EDC rotation. I’m not yet quite sure which pistol platform I’m going to be leaning towards, but heavily looking into the S&W Shield Plus or Sig P365 series. Both of these are highly regarded in terms of concealed carry pistols and either would be a perfect edition to my EDC rotation. Both of these pistols offer more capacity than a single stack and close to that of a Glock 19, but are still thin and more compact than a double stack Glock. Both also offer optic mounting which is something I might bring into my EDC fold as well.

Whatever this new year brings, it’s sure to bring new ideas and projects. We will see by the end of the year just how many of these projects became a reality or which ones got shuffled to the back of the list. Regardless, this is going to be an awesome year, so stay tuned!
