Chapter 25: Christmas Eve

‘Twas the night before Christmas, when all through the house
Not a creature was stirring, not even a mouse[.]

“Daddy?” said Beth.

“It’s me.”

She smiled, in the dream, and it felt like beams of light were shooting out of her face. It was warm, and she lit the whole sky, but also, it was snowing. The forest around her, it was all white. “What are you doin here? Who was inside that cabin with you before?”

“Daryl,” he said. He wore his wise suspenders, and his white hair tied off his face. He was picking his teeth with a toothpick. “We were just talking, over dinner.“

"Where’s Daryl now?”

“Now? Well you should know that, Bethy. He’s your husband.”

“Not yet. I mean, I don’t know where he is.”

The dream world sang little songs, birds in the snowy trees surrounding them. In front of them, the river bubbled up to the snowy banks. There were no walkers. Beth knew that this was a dream, because there should have been walkers. Even in Eden, there are always walkers. The afternoon can put its spell on you, but you’re never alone in the land of the dead.

I don’t understand how the ultimate Bethyl fiction works like I was looking up Bethyl fanfiction and came across it but like I couldn’t click on FanFiction can you explain how the whole thing work

Hey anon! Yes, it’s a whole website. The way I originally found it was just to go to the blog @ultimatebethylficlist and click “About UBFL” in the menu on the right. Once you get there, click the link for “Ultimate Bethyl Ficlist.” That takes you to the site. Alternatively, I think you can just go to ultimatebethylficlist.com. When you get there, just click around. It’s super organized so you can browse by category, length, trope, moonshine award winners, etc. ❤️

I’m not totally sure how it “works,” but I think it’s just a super robust archive of Bethyl fics. It’s a really neat thing in any fandom to have something like this!

A lot of rude things have been said about the team that runs Ultimate Bethyl Fic List. Would you be willing to answer something that you appreciate about ultimatebethylficlist.com an event or the awards. Thank you.

Idk what kind of rude things are being said but I can say that I’ve interacted with mods at @ultimatebethylficlist off this hellsite and they’re all really nice, warm ppl who have only ever made me feel welcome to the fandom. I came along just last year and didn’t know what I’d find, because the ship is pretty old at this point, but I was almost immediately ushered into a whole community of bethyl shippers who are all very supportive, and by promoting bethyl fics and art, I feel they’ve done a lot to help the fandom stay alive.

In my experience, shit-talkers talk shit because they’re angry and mean-spirited ppl who are unhappy with their lives and so try to drag others down to their level. It might sound corny, but as a grown ass woman, I know this to be true. They are best when ignored, because they otherwise thrive on the negative attention. Some ppl just suck. But I love bethyl and the fandom has been very warm and surprisingly active in small pockets, and those who have worked to keep it going so long so that newcomers like me can show up and still enjoy the ship should be proud of that. ❤️

Are you planning on watching TWD origin story specials before season 11 airs? 👀

Yes! I plan to watch them all. I watched the Daryl one yesterday, and it’s safe to say that everybody I’ve been talking to about it has been very happy 🥰 The teaser was also very interesting, and I want to write something about it, but I want to see what @twdmusicboxmystery comes up with first…👀
