Love Letters:

Can You See Right Through Me? by @mistressheroine

Beth and Daryl come across a white wooden house nestled in the woods while looking for shelter from an oncoming storm and a herd of agitated walkers. With Alexandria too far to reach before nightfall, they decide to stay the night. Inside they find a wooden box containing a stack of old love letters with a note saying they hope the story contained within will help them to realise just how powerful hope and love truly are. Beth convinces Daryl to read them with her and they find more than just an old love story hidden within the pages. Could this be the thing that will finally bring them together? Written for the Bethyl Holiday Fest 2023 Valentine's Day prompt 'Love Letters'.

Bethyl Holiday Fest 2023: New Year's Eve

Happy New Year, beautiful Bethylers! Here are some Bethyl New Year's Eve works to enjoy!

The Accidental Christmas: New Year's Eve by @gneebee

Thank you all so much. I hope everyone had a wonderful Christmas. Let's find out how Beth's Christmas is going, and if there are any New Year's Eve plans.

Flashback, Warm Nights by CherryParfait ( @xx-cherryballerina )

Carl sighs again. “Okay, just think of it like this,” he explains. “If you travel back in time, you need to be careful that you don’t disrupt the timeline. So don’t tell anyone anything about future events, avoid people you know, don’t break anything, don’t kill anyone. And absolutely, above all else, do not ever, under any circumstances, try to change the past.” After watching a few too many time travel movies with her babysitting charges (not to mention their super-hot uncle Daryl Dixon), Beth mysteriously wakes on New Years's Eve... in the year 1985.

Silent Night:

Small Miracles by SquishyCool (@im-immortal)

Beth Greene is not dead. Though it is not for a lack of trying. After eight long years spent in the CRM's grasp, struggling to find reasons to continue surviving, Beth finally finds her reason: Rick and Daryl are alive, and they are closer than she ever could've guessed. Now she must take advantage of her only opportunity to escape and track them down. Along the way, she revisits all of the places that changed her into who she has become. And she is forced to remember who she truly is at heart despite how unrecognizable she finds herself. But she has an unexpected ally along for the journey. Just the same as her, he is somewhat of a living miracle. Except he's no longer living... he's a walker. written for Bethyl Holidays Fest 2023 prompt: Silent Night

Christmas Carols:

I'll Be Home For Christmas by @mistressheroine

Beth Greene had returned from the dead a little over three months ago. Even though the snow is falling over Alexandria, Daryl Dixon can't help but notice he rarely sees her without her grey beanie sat firmly on her head. He thinks he knows why, and decides it's time to make sure she knows just how much she means to him. Written for Ultimate Bethyl Fic List holiday prompts for BHF23. This one is for "Christmas Carols".

The Accidental Christmas by @gneebee

It should have been a simple twenty mile drive home, but trouble started when Beth made a wrong turn and found herself lost. Bad went to worse when she swerved to miss a Doe and her Fawn, and now she finds herself with her car in a ditch in the middle of nowhere. Her only hope is to try and make it on foot back to the roadhouse she passed a mile or two back.

We have two more Bethyl NYE fics to welcome us into the new year!

Silent Night on New Year's Eve by Olpie09

After their Christmas Eve kiss, Daryl would love nothing more than to kiss Beth again. He just don't know how to go about it. Inspired by the Bethyl Holidays Fest 2023 prompt of Do Over.
