idk if you’re comfortable with writing daryl having a love interest that is someone other than reader, but we’ve all seen the way daryl smiles when he’s around connie (i absolutely love them together oml) and i can’t stop thinking about reader (daryl’s adopted child) teasing him for the way his whole face lights up at the sight of her-
connie x daryl, wc: 588
a/n: as much as i write x reader daryl fics, i absolutely love him and connie together and i'm fully convinced that they should've been canon!
You had never seen Daryl act the way he does around Connie with any other woman, and he's come across many of them in his lifetime, even during the apocalypse. You knew the extent of his love, how familial he was, even going as far as taking you in when he had discovered you alone all those years ago, which felt like a lifetime ago.
As his daughter (technically), you had spent a lot of time around him, and as much as he wanted to keep you protected, he had you right next to him while he made important decisions, like his confidant. So, it was easy to read his body language, the expressions on his face, and the look he gets in his eyes, the one that was soft, but it seemed as though there was a new one, one that was only reserved for Connie.
Maybe he hadn’t noticed that he was doing it, that any stern and grumpiness would melt away when she approached him, whipping out her trusty notepad in order to converse with him. She didn’t know it, but many nights in your shared home, he’d have his nose buried in an American Sign Language book, constantly practicing the gestures and combinations, many of those he’d do with hands instead of trying to understand them mentally. You didn’t want to give your old man too much shit for it, because you were happy for him, and you liked Connie, she was sweet, caring, and confident.
You could see how her, and your dad’s personalities could work together so well, you just wish he’d pull his head out of his ass to see it. You knew he hadn’t noticed how many accommodations he made for her, like allowing her to hug him, trusting her to take care of dog, even to come and back him up whenever he needed it, hell, he barely smiled at anyone, but it was like he couldn’t help himself when she’d come around.
You’d smirk, shooting him a look from out of the corner of your eye before focusing back on your task at hand, but you knew his face was red with embarrassment at the fact that he’d been caught, especially by his own daughter, who – in his mind – he’d have to be strong for, when in reality you could care less about any of that gender role nonsense.
It was at the Commonwealth where you caught his eyes trailing Connie leaving after Kelly translated that she was once a reporter. There was fondness in his eyes, a smile on his lips as he watched her walk away.
“Real smooth, pops.” You said teasingly as you leaned up against one of the posts of the stands with your arms crossed. “Shut up.” He said lightheartedly as red painted his aged cheeks. “No need to be bashful, you guys would look cute together.” You watched his eyes widen. “It ain’t like that.” He denied, even though his silent affections spoke otherwise. “Oh, I’m sure it isn’t.” You said knowingly. “You should ask her to dance, I don’t think she’d say no,” You walked up to him in order to pat his shoulder lovingly, “You clean up good. You could be the beast to her beauty.” You added with a shit eating grin on your face.
You could hear him scoff a bit before a small shove was delivered to the back of your shoulder, sending you tumbling slightly, which only made you laugh and send him a backhanded wave.

THE WALKING DEAD MASTERLIST
I write for Daryl Dixon, Rick Grimes, Rosita Espinosa, Maggie Rhee, Glenn Rhee, Abraham Ford, Sasha Williams, Tyreese William, Enid Rhee, Lydia, Negan Smith, Tara Chambler, Connie, Kelly, Beth Greene and potentially anyone else if you request it!
I am around Lydia, Enid and Beths age so it’s nothing creepy and most of the fanfics for them will be platonic especially towards Lydia because she is literally my child.

This is just added on commentary of the recent talk about how white people in Fandoms hate/change black characters with their white love interests. The first time it actually hit me was a couple months before I saw the videos on tiktok addressing it but before that I realized that a lot of fics in the TWD Fandom would make a fiction wit the same plot and same character values as the other 1,000+ fics of giving Rick or Daryl a white love interests and when I see those fics it always bothers me because Michonne and Rick are so fucking perfect together and the chemistry with Daryl and Connie is just as good. Now I know must of those authors write those fics as self inserts buy its not only that people will dismiss the interracial ship and claim that they're gay besties, the black love interests is too good for the white guy so he needs to be with this Canon white girl, or saying the black women in the ship is to masculine for the white love interests so that means she's gay or that they don't have any chemistry when they do. It's done with so many Canon interracial couples it's ridiculous 🙄 like why not just accept that they're meant to be. Another problem is the lack of black/poc OC's like it's so rare to find fixs with black Oc's but so many with white ones and for some fandoms it nay be appropriate to nor have a black characters bug when it's moder or in the future Fandom there should be no reason. It's another reason why I think there needs to be more black/poc fanfic authors because we need more fixs that feature us and feature us well in all aspects.
