Elizabeth & Henry's wedding - A fluff.

Elizabeth is worried that Henry won't find her sexy anymore. He assures her that that is not the case.

Prequel to scene in 2x21: "Connection Lost". I noticed Bess had a grey vintage t-shirt on that looked like Henry's and it gave me an idea. This is my first Madam Secretary fanfiction...

Henry takes care of his wife after a long day. Fluff and stuff.

Stevie goes out to the family farm to recover from a broken heart. Little did she know did a Russia refugee was also recovering from a broken heart. How will the two get along?

"The silence terrified her. Silence was a representation of her parents. It characterized her busy older brother. It was the tense Christmas dinners that she never enjoyed."

When Henry finally proposes.

Stevie is dealing with something and will need her family's help to get her through it.

Some news is so unimportant, so routine, that it hardly changes anything. Then there's the big news. The news that's life changing. The news that makes you wonder how the hell it happened.

Jason McCord misses his parents. Companion to Love Me As Though.

It is his "I don't know" that undoes her. Henry/Elizabeth fluff, with a mild flavor of angst.

What if Henry didn't make it out of Bolivia unscathed? Post "Time is At Hand"

Various birthdays in the life of Elizabeth McCord.

"Hold me, just a little longer tonight." Post 2x20

This is some fluff about Elizabeth graduating from undergrad and preparing for her wedding. Minimal angst. I promise there's nothing weird. I can write normal fic, really.

Sequel of The List. This is about Jane's and Maura's twenty-two years old daughter Elizabeth aka Liz Rizzoli-Isles. They are going with her through her first years as a police officer and experience their daughter's first true love. It isn't that easy for the married couple, especially not for Jane.

Even Elizabeth is bound to get a cold some day.

Threats come in all shapes and sizes, how we deal with them can define us. How does Elizabeth, Henry the rest of the McCord family, the President and the world deal with the threats they face. AN: Three characters have been tagged for this fic but it is one that features most of the cast of the show.

This plot bunny wouldn't go away, so this is my reaction to Tamerlane/Face the Nation. The McCords have a family meeting and talk about Elizabeth's involvement in Iran. I threw in a bit of family bonding in there as well, cause those parts are some of my favorite in the show! Enjoy :)

Sort of AU. Elizabeth comes home to tell Henry about a bizarre day at the office.

Promise me tonight, promise me right now. Promise I'll always be in your heart.

She won't admit her feelings because Maura is married to the raising prosecutor Benjamin Payton, but her façade starts to crumble during a investigation.Rizzles attheend

"There is nothing on this earth more to be prized than true friendship." Thomas Aquinas

By request: Henry returns from Desert Storm

The McCord's have faced some serious challenges during Elizabeth's term as Secretary of State so far. Until Stevie receives some surprising news. They might be facing their biggest challenge yet.

"There are moments that define a life. They are unpredictable and most come without any warning. It's who we are in these moments and their aftermath that becomes the truest measure of our character." My imagination piecing together bits of detail from the season 2 premiere. *HIATUS*

Ever since her mom had become Secretary of State Stevie had messed up time and time again. Now, even though she had the best intentions, she's screwed up one more time. She'd wanted to stop causing her parents problems. Instead she hands them the biggest one yet, and this time it could cost her her life.

"They say that time's supposed to heal you, but I ain't done much healing" - Adele

"I can't love you in the dark, it feels like we're oceans apart. There is so much space between us, maybe we're already defeated" - Adele. AU!

Life in the state department is tough, Elizabeths masquerade is beginning to fall away; Iran changed her and the ones closest to her are beginning to catch glimpses of the person she hides behind her mask. Alison faces her own difficulties at school just like her mother did. This is not about what happened in Iran. This is about what happens in the heart of the McCord family.

I was (and still am) in such need for more scenes about Elizabeth getting hurt in Iran (physically and mentally), so that's just me trying to fill in this need.

It's a shame in the series we know so much about the other staff and what they get up to in their private lives, but nothing about Blake. This is the story of Blake and my OC Al, is Head of White House and State Office Security. Check out Al's clothing collection - /cgi/collection?id 4491993

Waiting. Breaking. Falling apart. But always together.

In order to save the world sometimes you've got to make some sacrifices. Unfortunately sometimes it costs more than it's worth. I really need more action on S1E16 when Elizabeth could have died in Iran. This is my take. Please read and review. Rating may change in the foreseeable future I'm not quite sure yet.

Elizabeth loses something valuable. A little angst, a little fluff.

"You look so fragile I could break, but I try to hold myself together for the both of us. But in truth I'm just as scared, I just wanna watch you sleep as you lie here beside me So close your eyes I'll guard the door and when you wake you'll wake with me" - Snow Patrol- In My Arms.

Not much is really known about Blake Moran's personal life until he starts to date someone from another department in Washington D.C. and rumors start to fly. As he soon finds out, nothing is private when working in Washington. Please R&R. This will be a really long continuous story. Enjoy :)
