Well, it could be about the aftermath of Carl getting shot. Maybe his friends and family are in a panic, trying to save him. They search for medical supplies and someone with medical knowledge. They might also face threats from walkers while dealing with Carl's injury.
Enid could be a main character in a Carl Grimes shot fanfic other than Carl. She has a special relationship with Carl. She would be very worried and might be the one constantly by his side, trying to keep his spirits up. Also, Eugene, with his knowledge, could be crucial. He might be trying to come up with some kind of medical solution or a way to keep Carl safe from further harm.
A plot could revolve around the reader being a new arrival in the group Carl is in. Carl helps the reader adjust to the new, dangerous world, and they bond over sharing their pasts. Maybe the reader has a unique skill, like being a great medic, and Carl is impressed and drawn to them.
One great Carl Grimes and Enid fanfic is 'The Journey Together'. It beautifully portrays their relationship as they face the challenges in the post - apocalyptic world. The story focuses on how they rely on each other for survival and how their feelings gradually develop.
Family is another big theme. Their father - son relationship is central. Fanfics might show how they rely on each other, like when Carl is in danger and Rick will do anything to save him. It's about the love and protection within the family.
Carl's physical and mental evolution throughout the series makes him an appealing character in fanfiction. He started as a young boy and grew into a more hardened survivor. In Carl Grimes x Reader stories, this growth can be explored in relation to the relationship. Maybe the reader has known him since he was younger and has seen this transformation, which could lead to a unique and complex relationship.
A romantic moment could be when Carl and his love interest are on the roof of a building, watching the sunset over the ruins of the old world. The sky is painted in hues of orange and red, and Carl takes her hand gently, looking into her eyes without saying a word.
Perhaps a rival community. They might feel threatened by Carl's group and think that by kidnapping Carl, they can gain an advantage. They could be more organized and have a specific plan in mind, like using Carl to get access to their resources. It could also be a group of escaped prisoners. They have no moral compass and figure that kidnapping Carl can help them get whatever they want in this lawless world.
I have no idea. There's no specific information given about what novel Carl Grimes was reading.
There's also 'Carl's New Beginnings'. This fanfic takes a different approach and has Carl forming new alliances and facing unique challenges that we don't see much in the original series. It's a fresh take on his character.
Yes, Carl Grimes is alive in the comics.
