I am thrilled that you are also made of squeee! But I have to admit, I am totally scratching my head at the read of a brother/sister dynamic. Like okay, if you see friendship, I can... kind of get that. There IS friendship there. But brother/sister? If my brother looked at me the way Daryl looked at Beth across the table -- I would run away screaming while suggesting he go into therapy. LOL

And I also have to admit -- I hadn't even considered Daryl being, like, the light for Carol in all this. And man, I would HATE that. I mean, part of that is that I am just at the point with Carol where I was with Andrea in S3 -- like I just want her dead. (Sorry, Carol fans.) But most of it is that I don't want his journey -- and by extension, Beth's -- tied up in Carol's story. I think it's HIS story, and he's so very at the beginning of it. He's still processing everything, figuring out what he feels, how he wants to live. Realizing that he DOES want to live, and not just survive. I feel like it'd be far too soon for him to be able to share what he's processing with someone else.

And also -- I don't want forgiveness for murder. I don't want her redemption. I want the realization that there ARE some things that you cannot come back from, that there IS a line that cannot be crossed, and that murdering innocent people is it. I think there's no edge to draw her back from, because she already willingly leaped over that edge.

But that's me. And I'm supremely anxious as to how all this is going to play out.

LET'S JUST ENJOY THE SQUEE. (And also, the fic that we should both be writing!)
