Summary
Daryl Dixon has survived a lot, but captivity at the Sanctuary is something else entirely. Negan expects defiance, resistance—anything but the unsettling silence he’s met with. It doesn’t take long for him to realize that Daryl’s scars run deeper than the ones his men left behind. What starts as a game of control shifts into something more complicated as Negan finds himself drawn into a puzzle he didn’t expect to care about solving. And Daryl? He’s spent his whole life learning that trust is dangerous—but maybe, just maybe, survival doesn’t have to mean enduring alone.

Daryl Dixon thought he was being brave when he fought against Negan as he was bashing his friends' brains in. In reality, he was catching the attention of the dominant and aggressive leader.

Summary
Michonne met his eyes, unexpected softness in that careful look. He tried to keep his gaze on her face, valiantly, not dipping his eyes to her still open blouse.
“What do you know? Your redneck’s a gentleman,” she murmured to Rick and they shared a glance that was heavy with what he did not understand.
“Why?” Daryl said, and it was a painful rasp.
Rick looked at him. “Why do you think?”
Daryl swallowed. “I ain’t a dog.” He is gruff, resentful, and his words silenced them, as though they just now understood how he had seen this.
“We’re not throwing you a bone,” Michonne said, and she sounded stricken. “That’s not…that’s not what this has been about.”

Summary
"Daryl looks around Hilltop warily, stumbling off the bike and cringing at the normalness of it all. The quietness. The fact that all these people have no idea what's really going on. Everyone here has been living peacefully while he's been trapped in a box and eating dog food.
Being Negans bitch."
My take on the reunion of Daryl and Maggie in 'Hearts Still Beating'. Just a platonic friendship, I love the idea of Maggie and Daryl bonding.
