The difference between a psychopath and a sociopath:

Thanks for the request, hope you like this: 

Jeryl, #21: “We’re in the middle of a thunderstorm and you wanna stop and feel the rain?”

“Jesus?”  He prepped his knife.  “Jesus?!”

“Out here!”  The voice was calm, pleasant…totally at ease.

Knife still at the ready Daryl poked his head out onto the balcony.  No Walkers, no others, just Jesus on a deckchair with his head tipped back into the rain.  “Hell you doin’?”

Water rolled across his face, dripped from his hair, as he opened his eyes.  “Sitting back, relaxing, enjoying the moment.”

“We’re in the middle of a thunderstorm and you wanna stop and feel the rain?”

“Join me.”

“Nah,” Daryl set his bag down and leaned against the doorframe, watching the sheets of rain pass by.  “I ain’t catchin’ the flu and dyin’ on account of your dumb ass.”

“I’ll make it worth your while.”

“You gonna turn all this rain into wine?” Daryl cracked.

Jesus chuckled.  “If I try, will you come out?”

Despite his own snide expression Daryl found himself stepping out into the storm.  It was strangely calming; the warm air, the cleansing rain, the low rumble of thunder in the distance.

“Nice, isn’t it?”  Jesus kicked out the other deckchair.

Daryl sunk into the plastic.  “It’s alright.”

“That your standard reply?”

“What’m I supposed to say?”

“Well, if you like it, you might want to try ‘it’s nice’ or ‘I like it’.”

“It’s nice.  I like it.”

Jesus smirked.  “Why’s that?”

“What’s this, some kinda test?” Daryl’s growl edged up on irritated.

“No,” Jesus straightened up to look him in the eye.  “I just want to know what you really think, Daryl.”  And getting him to talk about his feelings on the weather seemed easier than his feelings on other things.  “I like that it’s able to wash away so much decay, that it can make room for new growth, you know?”

Daryl watched Jesus stick out his tongue to collect rain water, then quickly looked away.  He cleared his throat, shifted lower in the chair as he splayed his legs.  “I like I got the option to go back inside if I want.”

Jesus gave a nod.  That was something deeper, at least.  “Just say the word, we’ll go back inside.”

Daryl considered the offer, then shook his head.  “Nah, it’s alright.”

“That’s not very convincing…” Jesus started to get up.  He wanted to press Daryl, see what he would do; would he go along or open up?

“Nah, rain’s nice,” Daryl set a hand on Jesus’, but pulled away the moment he realized he’d done it.  “I mean…saw towels in the room, we can dry off later so…” he shrugged, shifted in an excess of nerves.  “Ya know, let’s stay out here a bit longer, yeah?”

Title: Discomfort and Trust Author: WickedNerdery Fandom: AMC’s The Walking Dead Pairing/character: Daryl Dixon/Jesus Rating: FRM Summary: It wasn’t quite comfort, something about the man still made his gut tighten, but he found a rush in it. Notes:  Definitely a flirting/start of something fic here.  The rating is pretty much just for the swearing…there’s a bit of physical affection, but it’s pretty tame (for now), haha!  Read this as connected to my other Darus pieces or not, up to you.  Wanna request?  Doing a meme or you can send your own drabble plot bunny…probably gonna do it throughout summer.

Title: Care Author: WickedNerdery Fandom: AMC’s The Walking Dead Pairing/character: Daryl Dixon/Jesus Rating: FRM Summary: Hand on a knife, just in case, Jesus’ eyes went wide.  “Daryl?”  His eyes narrowed in his search for clues.  Alive or Undead?  “Daryl.” Notes:  This can be read as friendship, flirting, or the start of something more, it’s entirely up to you…It’s probably more along the flirting/start of something though, I confess.  The rating is pretty much just for the swearing.  Post-Season 6 finale.

Obviously, with this being the season six finale and all, there will be spoilers coming so consider this your warning…Otherwise though…

Here’s my latest review of The Walking Dead…There are spoilers.

Normally I’d post this on my AO3 account, but because it’s so short I’ll just post it here for now:

Title: Scars and Stitching Author: WickedNerdery Fandom: AMC’s The Walking Dead Pairing/character: Daryl Dixon/Jesus Rating: FRT/FRM Summary: They didn’t have to get along with these people, he didn’t have to get along with some guy who calls himself Jesus. Notes: This can be read as friendship, flirting, or the start of something more, it’s entirely up to you.  The only reasons it might be FRM is swearing, bit of suggestive talk, and vague references to Daryl’s childhood.
