I really like 'A Journey with Carl'. It's set in a post - apocalyptic world where the reader and Carl are on a journey to find a rumored safe haven. Along the way, they have deep conversations about their pasts, their hopes for the future, and of course, they have to fight off hordes of walkers. It shows a very different side of Carl from what we see in the show sometimes.
Another storyline could involve Carl getting injured and the reader having to take care of him. This would show their bond as the reader risks their life to find medicine and food for Carl. It could also be a time for them to have deep conversations about their hopes and fears in this new world.
Unfortunately, Carl did die in The Walking Dead comics. It was a sad moment for fans. His death had a big impact on the storyline and the other characters.
It allows fans to explore different storylines that the show might not have delved into. In fanfiction, the relationship between the reader and Carl can be developed in unique ways. They can go on adventures that were not part of the original plot. It gives a sense of freedom to the writers and the readers to create and experience new scenarios. Also, the post - apocalyptic setting of 'The Walking Dead' provides a rich backdrop for all kinds of emotional and action - packed stories between the two characters.
To write a believable character interaction between Carl and the reader, you need to understand their personalities. Carl is a tough survivor who has seen a lot, so when he interacts with the reader, it should be with a certain wariness at first. For example, if they first meet, he might hold his gun ready while talking. The reader, depending on their own backstory, could respond with either fear or confidence. If the reader is also a strong - willed person, they might challenge Carl's initial assumptions.
