Fic rec! It's fanfic based on the TV version of The Walking Dead, but you don't have to be familiar with the show at all in order to understand it. Word of warning, though, if you aren't familiar with the show, some of the language may be offensive because it's Daryl's POV and he's pretty offensive. (But still my favorite)

Win Friends, Influence People, Aim for the Head by Gusstat
Not rated on AO3, but there are quite a bit of swear words and talk of violence
22171 words
Author summary: Self-help in the post-apocalypse. Alternatively, "Everyone is Damaged: How to Persuade People Not to Shoot You In The Head." Eventually Daryl/Glenn, with side helpings of fluff, angst, gore and squirrels.

There are a few instances where the author slips into an alternate POV for a paragraph or so, but I can overlook that, because the Daryl voice is EXCELLENT. My summary would be that it's about Daryl realizing he's got a family with these people, even if it's a concept of "family" that is completely different from his fucked-up relationship with his brother. And somehow he's got a soft spot for Glenn that he doesn't want to admit to.

(I'm being all social-avoidant and useless this week, sorry!)
