    Summary

    Work has been awful the past few weeks and all you want to do is go home and fall asleep. When your friends convince you to go out to a local dive bar, you see Merle Dixon and his brother Daryl. Despite his reputation and what you know about him, you start to think that maybe Merle could be just who you need right now.

    Warnings: Language, mentioned smut.

    Note: I had the hardest time naming this and summarizing it. I have no idea what even category of anything this fits into. It’s total self-indulgent bullshit. So sorry about that.

    Summary

    "This was the price to pay to maybe, maybe, maybe one day be accepted as part of the group. He just had to show them that he could be useful, he could be good. He could rise above the curse of being a Dixon, he could make them forget the unpleasantness that stuck to his skin more stubbornly than dirt. If he tried hard enough, maybe they could stop thinking about how stupid and rash and undeserving he was. And even if they couldn’t, maybe they could simply overlook it, overlook him, forget that they were supposed to have an opinion on him in the first place. He would never give them another reason to cast him out. Then, he could stay."

    Or, the one in which Daryl overworks himself and the group deals with the aftermath.
    Set in between season 2 and 3 (before the prison).
