Daryl Dixon/Shane Walsh, also known as Sharyl, is the slash pairing of Daryl Dixon and Shane Walsh in The Walking Dead fandom.

The complete opposites they had in their roles before and after the apocalypse. The fact it took the end of the world for Shane to break, but the same situation only made Daryl stronger. There’s just so much to explore
