After sleeping with Maxwell in London, Fran leaves the Sheffields for good. Four years later, they run into each other and are given a second chance to work things out. The only problem is, Fran's married.

-Movie universe- The entire book launch debacle plays out in spectacular disastrous fashion. But what if Bridget tries to make a hasty retreat before Daniel steals her away to dinner, and in the process she finds Mark Darcy alone and unwell in the hallway. How will the night turn out when she ditches Daniel to take care of Mark instead?

Bridget returns to Hard News where an unexpectedly significant assignment makes her personal and professional worlds collide. This movies universe story is set post-Bridget Jones's Baby and contains spoilers for all three films, including references to deleted scenes. I have not read Mad About The Boy (no plans to do so. Ever) ergo certain particulars in that book are absent here.

Somehow Bridget never expected motherhood to amount to her sitting on the toilet seat cover in her underwear with the remnants of a cocktail drying in her hair and William's milky vomit running down her stomach. All she'd tried to do is brush her teeth.

Set post-BJB. Mark has been watching Bridget all night, but he could never stand to just watch her.

Before it all goes tits-up, Hard News interviews Mark Darcy and Bridget realizes it isn't just her fiance's face (or body or brain) she likes. It's that gorgeous voice. (Or, An Ode to Mark Darcy, QC, by his loving fiancee, Bridget Jones.)

Set between EOR and BJB. Mark Darcy's terrible, no good day, and the woman who makes it worthwhile.

(Set post-BJB.) Mark shares something he learned about in the States and now Bridget can't get it out of her head. This just might constitute a marital emergency. (Slightly cracky.)

William's first Halloween happens to be Mark's too. Prompt fill for elletromil.

(Spoilers for BJB.) The father of Bridget's child is revealed! But can she love him? Can they get it right? [Of course they can.]

(Spoilers for BJB.) On Bridget's wedding night, she's so happy she could cry. Her husband is not entirely prepared for the water works.

(Spoilers for BJB.) AU during Bridget Jones's Baby. Mark shows up at Bridget's after his fight with Jack. Of course Baby Jones decides now is the perfect time to kick. (And Mark keeps talking despite all advice to do otherwise.) Maybe this is their sign to start again.

(Spoilers for BJB.) Bridget is under the weather and Mark has a plane to catch. But he can't leave her alone not knowing she's loved. She is very, very loved.

(Spoilers for BJB.) Mark and Bridget are really, truly happy. It still takes them both by surprise.

What is a man to do when a job becomes more than just a job? AU.

What if Twitter had existed during the first film?

*Set sometime in the beginning of the fifth season, the Sheffield family takes a trip to the Kentucky Derby which proves to be the perfect place for Fran and Maxwell to heighten their relationship*

*Another alternate version of 'The Engagement'*

*As the result of a bad storm, Fran and Max become isolated at a less than fancy motel in the country. As horrible as the place may be, the couple realize they always enjoy each others' company no matter the circumstances. Rated R (sexual content)*

An account of the time period covered by both books, Bridget Jones' Diary and Bridget Jones: The Edge of Reason (UK book editions). 18 Chapters and an Epilogue.

One discontented fiancé, one ex-lover who wronged the fiancé… in forced close quarters? Oh, it's a perfect storm for Bridget, all right.

Bridget's looking for a little change moving forward, but to Mark it feels more like a step back.

Sometimes running away to forget a problem sends you headlong into another. AU: What if Mark was older than Bridget by more than just a few years? Book universe. 12 parts in all.

What if Bridget had reluctantly agreed to be set up on a date by her mother, after all? Movie universe.

Another 'what happens at the end of the first movie', only… well, life isn't perfect, is it? Movie universe, obviously.

Mark expects Bridget's second appearance in his sphere of society to go differently, and when it doesn't.... Movie universe.

A/U, Movie universe. Suppose Mark had learned sooner of what Bridget had been led to believe about him… M rating is mostly for part 3.

Hugh has a little good news to go with Mark and Bridget's. Movie universe with ongoing original character.

What if Bridget's release from Thai prison hadn't gone as smoothly as it had? Movie universe.

Sometimes it's only by losing something that one can truly find it again. Movie universe, sort of. M for language and adult situations. It's angsty, but not really what I'd classify as "angst".

A December spent out of the snow and grey of London… in a place where anyone might fancy herself a treasure hunter of sorts. Seven parts in all.

Tradition has it that you should take your Christmas tree down by Epiphany... Takes place shortly after the end of the first movie.

Ultimatums can be a very powerful tool for good… Movie universe, Kafka's Motorbike book launch, A/U.

The chronicling of a wedding, through the groom-to-be's eyes. Incorporates original characters and fills in a gap in my little sub-universe.

Bridget thinks Mark has been holding out on her. 2 weeks and still no action in the bedroom? Then one day, after a row, he cannot hold on any longer...Rated M for later content.

A day in the life of a new relationship. Scattered pictures, if you will. Movie universe.

Just because a phone rings doesn't mean it has to be answered. Based on and diverging from the deleted scene "The Christening" from EOR movie .

Christmas is the time for feelings of good will and generosity of spirit… and for Christmas miracles. Movie universe. Fluff.

An epilogue of sorts to The Secret Life of Bees. Movie universe. Mark should really keep better track of what he’s carrying in his pockets.

Amazing what tangents a single answerphone message can send a man's mind off on. Movie universe, mostly.

Another near future post Thailand story set after EOR. The best laid plans of mice and men, as they say, this time, a reunion minibreak. M for language and adult themes. If there was a T plus I would have rated it that instead.

From Mark’s point of view, the book launch to do, only slightly... askew. ...What if Mark had uttered a pivotal phrase at a certain moment during the book launch?...

What might have happened between Bridget's return from Thai prison and her parents' renewal of vows on 31 December. Movie universe canon with homages to the books. Rated M for language and adult situations.

While attending the Turkey Curry Buffet right after they finally get together, Mark can think of nothing but Bridget. Rated M for adult situations. No, really.

In some ways, the first movie ends at the worst possible moment. What happened next? Here's a little speculation and quite a bit of... well, you know. Rated M for language and adult themes.

What would have happened if Mark hadn't walked off after the fight? Will he and Bridget get together at last? My first fic, reviewers please be kind.
