Daryl Dixon One-Shots

"Ready As I'll Ever Be"

Ok It's not a Daryl x reader fic but I had fun writing it so... <3

Woodbury and The Prison were at war. The governor had taken Andrea hostage and was keeping her locked up somewhere, So Rick gave a speech to his group "The Governor wants us gone. DEAD. For what we did to Woodbury...we're going to war". Rick has Glenn, Michonne, and Daryl step up to inform everyone of what's going to go down.

Woodbury

Philip walks into a room and walks to the window behind him Andrea is tied up sitting on the floor

"Any moment now, Your Highness

Believe me, I know, I've sunk pretty low

But whatever I've done, you deserved

(Philip!)

(Quiet!)

I'm the bad guy, that's fine

It's no fault of mine and some justice, at last, will be served

(Please, listen)"

Andrea leans forward to try and get him to listen but he doesn't want to, he looks at his reflection in the window, sees his missing eye, and thinks back to when Michonne killed walker Penny and took out his eye with glass.

"Now it's time to step up or it's time to back down

And there's only one answer for me

He walks over to Andrea, pulls out his Gun, and caresses her face with the barrel, smirking while doing so

And I'll stand up and fight 'cause I know that I'm right

And I'm ready, I'm ready, I'm ready

Ready as I'll ever be"

The Prison

After throwing some ideas on how to defend their home Michonne steps up in front of everyone

"Now it's time to rise up or it's time to stand down

And the answer is easy to see

And I swear by the sword if you're in, get on board

She raises her sword in the air

Are you ready?

I'm ready

Rick chimes in looking at her with determination

We're ready

Glenn and Daryl join in

(we're ready)

Everyone in the prison respons

Ready as I'll ever be"

Merle who is still on the fence about fighting Woodbury head to head knowing they got more firepower looks to Carol, the one person besides Daryl that could put him in his place,

"Are you quite sure we can do this?

Merle questions her doubt heavy in his eyes

Together we will guarantee"

She responds to him with hope filling her eyes

"I'll make them hear me!

Philip says dragging Andrea out of the room ready to get revenge on Rick and his group

now it's time to redeem or it's time to resolve

Rick's group was putting their things in the cars,

Prove they can trust me

Michonne cleans her sword ready to fight to prove that she holds no loyalty to the governor even if he did give her and Andrea shelter

and the outcome will hardly come free

The group is putting on the riot gear, ready to defend their home and hopefully save a friend

I'll save my home and family

Carol looks out to the courtyard thinking about the group, the people she's grown to call family, and little Judith who was just born.

Now the line's in the sand and our moment's at hand

And I'm ready

says Daryl loading his crossbow and getting on his bike

I'm ready

Michonne sheaths her sword looking determined

I'm ready

Carol and Merle lock eyes and load their weapons, Merle putting the blade on his metal hand, Carol cocking her assault rifle

Ready as I'll ever be

Philip pushed Andrea into a car and went to the passenger side and shut the door, He look forward with an evil look in his eye, confident he would win, he was ready.
