due to absolutely no one’s request, I am back with more fic recs! Here are my top completed Carl Grimes fanfics on ao3.
NUMBER ONE:
Kid With The Messed Up Face by TryingCrying
fills in the gap of time between Carl getting shot and when we see him next (s6 ep9-ep10). Really a beautiful exploration of Carl’s character, and touches on relationships and trauma that were absolutely neglected in the show.
NUMBER TWO:
Long Live the Queen by BeanSidhe_13
Basically Lori’s death if everyone had daemons because I’m an absolute sucker for His Dark Materials crossovers. Another just absolutely heartbreaking exploration of Carl’s character, and the one that I reread the most.
BONUS:
The North Star by Rezeren
this one has Judith as the main character, but Carl is soo important to the story. Set after Carl’s death with heavy themes of grief and growing up. (this one lowkey made me cry)
All of these break my heart and make me cry, go read them guys <3
Juno’s champion

I feel so bad for her :(
If Jason had been the one to fall into Tartarus. Jason Grace who started this series jumping into the Grand Canyon to save Piper.
Before he even knew he could fly.
It's his birthday and he's finally able to celebrate with people who care about him. And Jason stares down in horror and without a second thought.
He jumps.
He summons all his willpower. All his power and strength into this moment. He's Jason Grace, he's the son of Jupiter, child of Rome, he defeated Krios singlehandedly.
He can do this.
Because no ones going to die on his watch, not again. He promised to keep them all safe and he won't break that even if it costs him his life.
Percy's screaming at him to go back, to leave like he wouldn't do the same. Annabeth is struggling and even she's shaking his head.
The world can't afford to lose them. Jason can't afford to lose them. He reaches for their hands and flies up to the ship.
Struggling against the combined weight of Percy and Annabeth. All the while fighting the pull of Tartarus.
His head feels fuzzy and there's moments his vision darkens. His body aches as he pushes it further than it's ever been pushed.
Jason takes a breathe and keeps going. He doesn't let his own exhaustion show, he only focuses on getting his friends to safety.
Both of whom are silent. Neither wanting to break Jason's concentration. The gratitude and worry they feel only increasing every moment.
But they can't ask Jason to slow down, or take a break. Both already thinking of how they're going to make sure he rests after this. And give him the best birthday party they can.
Jason grits his teeth and keeps going. He stumbles at one point, going down for a few seconds. He shakes his head, getting himself steady and mumbles an apology.
He can't remember how long he's been flying. Every second feels agonising, he can't move his legs and his arms feel like dead weight wrapped around his friends.
And yet Jason keeps going.
There's blood though he's not too sure where it's coming from. The pain feels fuzzy but he's survived worse.
Frank, it's Frank who turns into some kind of bear to grab both Annabeth and Percy. Hazel's already grabbed the medical supplies and examining Annabeth's leg.
Jason breathes heavily like he's just ran a marathon. He's done it. They're safe. He's saved them. They're okay now. Frank's already reaching out to Jason who's fingers slip through his.
And Jason falls.
He has no strength left to stop his descent. He's too far for his friends to reach him. There's horror on their faces but Jason smiles with blood in his teeth.
Because their safe and that's all that matters. He gives into the exhaustion and blacks blacks out long before he hits the ground.
something something TV girl (carphia I love you)

quick sketches of Carl from my favourite fanfic, From Whence We Came by AtlasNerd on ao3!
Carl in the later chapters has me wrecked and sobbing on the floor
viva la vida by coldplay is sooo Negan (specifically his prison era).
like, hello? “I used to rule the world” ???
“I used to roll the dice Feel the fear in my enemy's eyes” (quite literally the lineup and how he treated the communities, I fear)
“Revolutionaries wait For my head on a silver plate” (Literally Rick, Maggie and all them)
“I used to rule the world Seas would rise when I gave the word Now in the morning, I sleep alone Sweep the streets I used to own” (him in the prison at Alexandria guys)
guys do you see the vision
Carphia my loves. forever mad at the show for killing both of them off, so this is like season 3 if they both lived. Also Sophia is absolutely destroying Carl at checkers.
