a/n: I know I did this with the Narnia characters but this is such a cute idea and I love the thought of someone giving Daryl a pretty rock...oh and some are gemstone rocks, others are just rocks from the ground that look cool or have a nice design

Warnings: swears (I like swearing)

・You had been on a run when you came across a spiritual shop.

・One of those businesses full of gemstones

・For some reason, you stopped and looked at all the options (not many people thought rocks would be important nor useful in an apocolypse)

・Each section had its name and meaning written underneath

・Your eyes gravitated to the Labradorite basket. Picking one up, you moved it back and forth, watching it shine with the movement.

・The meaning was, 'creates a shield for auras and protects against negativity of the world,'.

"Fucking perfect," you said chuckling.

・When you approach Glenn, you almost had a shiteating grin. You knew he would like it on some level, but you just wanted to tell him the meaning behind it.

・When you gave it to him, he had the widest smile but not without a quirked eyebrow

"Got it on the run," you said with a smile, "watch this."

・You held it to the sunlight and moved it as you had in the store, showing him how it shone.

・Glenn was elated. Not by the gift itself, but the fact that you were thinking about him.

・Now, he keeps it with him always. Even though you got it because it reminded you of him, he sees it as an extension of you.

・Having you close, even if it isn't you physically; it's what helps him carry on -

・Having tokens of the people he loves, especially when he's in dangerous situations. It reminds him to keep fighting. To keep holding on.

・You had been looking around on the farm, searching for something new to focus on, when you found on oddly shaped rock.

・Turning it around, you realised it was a heart, not a perfect one, but one nonetheless

・It gave you a burt of excitement; something fun to show the person you loved the most

・Running back inside, you quickly found Beth, who had been talking with Lori

・You waited until they were finished, an eager smile on your lips as you held both hands behind your back

・When you presented it to Beth she was equally as excited to receive it as you were to give it

・She got it straight away, not even having to turn it around to see its true shape

・Looking at you, she wrapped you in her arms and gave you a squeeze

"Thank you," she whispered and kissed your cheek

・Tried ages to somehow make a necklace for it. Spent days wrapping thread around it only for it to always fail
