#BHF23: Valentine's Day

It's time to celebrate the most romantic, sweetest, sexiest day of the year with some Bethyl fics! Thank you to those who contributed!

Love Letters:
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'.
After their New Year's Eve kiss, Daryl and Beth begin to exchange notes and their relationship grows into something more. Inspired by Bethyl Holidays Fest 2023 prompt: Love Letters

My drawing tablet stopped working properly for a while and after reading like 500 forums and help pages I finally figured out how to fix it. Been thinking about sad Daryl ;;

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