Elizabeth and Henry celebrate several first birthdays together.

Henry plays the piano for the first time in years. Post 2.13, Invasive Species.

Elizabeth loses her wedding rings and panics!

What happens when Elizabeth finds herself half dressed in some guy's bed and she doesn't even know his name?

just a random thought :)

Elizabeth has a chat with Ali about love.

The first time Henry and Elizabeth see each other naked it's because Elizabeth convinces Henry to go skinny dipping.

Elizabeth is getting used to having Henry home from his deployment, but Henry is ready for another change.

Henry has never been bad at anything he's ever tried in his life, but he's really bad at this.

It's always up there, just a reminder, not a threat. You can't ignore it, though, no matter how hard you try. Post 4.19 ramble of some sort.

Tumblr prompt: The first time Henry and Elizabeth meet is in an unusual place.

"You see her for the first time and she'll walk right past you like you are a crack in the wall and she is a skyscraper." Or the six stages of Henry falling for Elizabeth.

Alison McCord, a journey of self-discovery, and a family that loves her unconditionally. Alison McCord centered, McCord family fluff.

"Henry." she starts, her voice quiet and urgent. "I think I'm DRUNK. Oh God, am I? I think I am. A little." [Henry. Elizabeth. A party.]

Henry visits Elizabeth's farm house for the first time. 98% fluff.

All sorts of shenanigans ensue at the State Department and Elizabeth has quite the Friday! ;) Not quite sure how this story happened, and it ended up being something else entirely, but enjoy xx

Henry McCord had resigned himself to a colorless world long ago. And then Elizabeth Adams crashes his library study session. A Henry/Elizabeth soulmate AU.

The first time she dyes her hair she's sixteen. Or, the story of why Elizabeth Adams starts dyeing her hair brunette, and why she eventually stops. Elizabeth-centric, some Elizabeth/Henry.

or, Four Times Elizabeth Steps Up for Henry McCord.

Elizabeth gets home late to find Henry has just eaten dinner... but he's still hungry.

Unrelated snapshots into Elizabeth and Henrys life together. First piece of writing in so long, so please be gentle with me. There is some smut but not in all chapters.

They had thought that the ultimatums were behind them. It was clear now that they had simply been confusing a lull in their lives with the naïve thought that they had actually fixed the problem. Just a few missing scenes for 3x17 Convergence.

"...we make up for the secrets with a truth of something else. We tell each other something to remind ourselves what matters." Elizabeth struggles with not being able to tell Henry about her work with the CIA. Written for the fic exchange.

An alternate ending to 'Dust to Dust', in which Elizabeth Adams returns from her Baghdad assignment a little worse for wear, but very much alive. She must find a way to deal with the aftermath of the shootout, and Henry is just the person to help her. AU.

An almost-love story in which Elizabeth Adams is a CIA analyst stationed in Baghdad, and Captain Henry McCord is a Marine Corps pilot deployed during Desert Storm. Paths cross and sparks fly. It seems almost as if it's meant to be, until it's not. AU. Character Death.

The evening/night after Conrad asks her to be Secretary of State. Winter fic exchange. A bit delayed, sorry.

Winter Fic Exchange / The McCords spend a weekend together shortly after the stalker-case, but Bess is about to make a drastic change. [It will take a long time to erase the signs together with the knowledge that Elizabeth's job brought those worries upon them. Maybe even forever. And it makes her sick to her stomach to think of what might have been.]

For the fic exchange. The first time Henry and Elizabeth hear the Queen Elizabeth nickname. First Thanksgiving with Henry's family.

"You are the love that came without warning. You had my heart before I could say no, and surely I never will."

It's the story of her life, too.

The Secretary of State's plane just went down. The words had struck terror into their hearts the first time. Hearing them again was worse than their worst nightmares. It was inconceivable, yet it was happening. The signal from Elizabeth McCord's plane was gone.

When Elizabeth stand Henry up... Really, there's no story here, just smut.

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...

"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."

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.

"Love knows not distance; it hath no continent; its eyes are for the stars." Henry and Elizabeth meet in college.

But none of them knew how to be patient for so long.

A series of moments throughout the lives of Henry and Elizabeth McCord.

"Flashback" smut: Henry & Elizabeth are still in school and just can't keep their hands off each other at a fancy event.

Elizabeth comes home after having a panic attack at work. Emotional angst ensues. Set post 2.15

Epilogue to "Christmas Magic". Smut. Merry Christmas M-Sec Fans!

A christmas story loosley based on the "Greater Good" preview

When tragedy strikes, Elizabeth's niece comes to live with the McCord family.

Stemmed from the fight in "There but for The Grace Of God". It just didn't sit well with me. So this attempts to tell the story of how they got to that fight and how they moved past it to strengthen the relationship they have now; through a series of promises. There will be lots of flashbacks :)

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

What happens in "Standoff" after it fades to black. Smut.

Elizabeth and Henry are confronted about an issue in their past.

"It is during the ordinary moments that our story is told." -JE During a stressful week, Elizabeth McCord reconnects with her family. I appreciate thoughts and reviews.

I am a bit haunted by the recent episodes Tamerlane and Face the Nation. This piece is a reflection on the events surrounding Elizabeth from a different point of view. I am amazed by the stellar writing of the show, but sometimes wish we could peek in-between scenes and see how other characters are managing things. Reviews are greatly appreciated.

Follow Ben and Leslie's journey to becoming parents. The story chronicles every important moment between Ben and Leslie centering around family, from how they felt about having a family to planning to expand their family to Leslie finally saying "Well, buddy I have some good news for you." There are also some easter eggs concerning triplets scattered throughout the story.

Leslie and Ben return to the office for the first time in years. (Short ficlet)

"Once for all, then, a short precept is given thee: Love, and do what thou wilt." (Saint Augustine). Set in 2005. A fill-in-the-blanks story on Elizabeth's decision.

"She laughs out loud at the last one, and wonders if that was how Ann had first introduced her as a potential date – 'yeah, she's partial to drunken karaoke but she's hilarious'. But he's not laughing, and the air feels thick as he continues, reaching his hand out and caressing the skin of her inner wrist." AU Ben/Leslie *Formatting issues resolved, apologies*

Conrad's second term as president is coming to an end which means so is Elizabeth's time as secretary of state. Elizabeth and Henry's marriage has been on the rocks for years now because of her job and all that it entails. Will they be able to save their marriage or is their relationship over?

Henry and Elizabeth have a night off and decide to go on a date without security.

Ben doesn't get offered the Assistant City Manager job in Pawnee and has to go back on the road for the state government. As his job gets him a new partner and takes him to new cities, Ben has to figure out if this is all worth him being away from the only town, and the only person, where he ever really felt at home.

Nothing, Ben Wyatt had decided, was better than making out with Leslie Knope.

more fluff! (I have a problem). it's Valentine's theme so at least it's timely.

Leslie finds out that Eagleton hasn't been playing by the Pawnee rules. But when things go wrong while she helps Ann pack before her move to Ann Arbor with Chris, she realizes that there are bigger things in life than special event permits.

It's Leslie's last day as city councilwoman, and she has one last mission.

Or, five times Ben thinks about marrying Leslie. BenLeslie.

The darkest hour of the night is just before the dawn.

He quiets and looks away from her. He's the one that's making the big, ridiculous gesture here. She's got all of the power in this situation. "So you're saying..." She asks him, "That we could- we could be together?" "...Well, if you- if you want." AU

Ron Swanson - the man, the myth, the Woman of the Year. Is he also a Victor? The Parks and Rec characters in Panem.

/And I'll mirror images back at you./ Ann, Ron, and the progression of well, everything. Oneshot.

After Ben finds out that Leslie may be running for office, the two must start figuring out how to preserve their relationship, and keep their secret, in the midst of her new career opportunity. Now finished just before the S4 premiere makes it a fantasy.

Ben's perspective as he deals with his feelings for Leslie and his tendency to flee in less than ideal circumstances. Basically a healthy amount of Ben character exploration, with a nice bit of Ben/Leslie thrown in.

Simple version? Five conversations Leslie and Ben have in formal wear; But of course life is always more complicated than that .

Ben is convinced that quitting his job is the best way for him and Leslie to openly be together. But convincing Leslie of that is another challenge altogether.

Leslie and Ben try their best to be sneaky on the first full day of their secret relationship in the office.

For Ben, meeting with his girlfriend's mother is quite daunting- especially when it's his secret girlfriend's mother, a Pawnee legend, and the last, best hope he has to fight the policy that's keeping his new relationship a secret.

Set after Soulmates. Ben and Leslie contemplate risk versus reward. Ben/Leslie.
