50 things you didn't know about some of the characters... Updated with 5 new things for the first time in almost 3 years!

I thought it would be fun to write a bzillion different ways Bobby & Alex might have a first kiss. Each Chapter is its own one-shot, so read at your leisure! A few spoilers, I try to warn you ahead of time; occasional appearances by other characters. Rating changed to M because of the content of just a few chapters. I try to give you forewarning about that, too!

Post-series. Are any of us really going to believe that Sam and Diane never ended up together?

The accumulated belongings of Diane Chambers tell the story of a life lived in search of her one true love, which may or may not be laid out right before her very eyes. Diane/Sam and Diane/Frasier in later chapters.

One shot. Takes place in the season one episode, "Truce Or Consequences." This tells the story of what happened on the way back to Diane's apartment after getting black-out drunk of the Open Grave.

I'm baaaack. In honor of my last M-rated fic 'I Call Your Name - Again' reaching 100 views, I decided to write this second M-rated, which takes place directly after 'Birth, Death, Love and Rice.' Chapter Two isn't that M-rated, but still some sexy.

As Sam comes to the end of his life, he reflects back - there's just one thing he'd change if he could.

Sam and Diane settle down into domestic bliss in their new home - but all is not what it seems. Takes place shortly after Season 5's 'A House is Not a Home.'

Here's your M-rated, S&D fans. Picks up right where Season 3's 'I Call Your Name' leaves off. Enjoy!

Sam and Diane spend the night in their new home, and a song on the radio sets the mood for the evening. Oneshot.

A new case puts Goren and Eames on the trail of a serial killer. The biggest obstacle in their way: the team of FBI agents working the case with them. Written with squarey.

Sam misses Diane and his old life when a thunderstorm begins to rock his world. A simple geographical weather question for Rebecca and song reference brings a Diane lookalike waltzing in. What's her story? One shot.

Inspired by the excellent ficlet anthologies by dontbesojaded and SamandDianeOTP. A series of little looks at Sam and Diane, from various perspectives and at various stages of their relationship. Five new ficlets now added! Very mild "T". Enjoy, and let me know what you think!

Alex Eames only 'thought' she knew the men in her life. THIS IS B/A!

AU twist of what happened between "Rescue Me" and "Birth, Death, Love, and Rice". "He could have sworn it was Diane wriggling her butt on one of the middle tables if it hadn't been for his knowledge that Diane would never agree to do such thing." Or would she? Chapter 4's up!

A painting and a song help Sam deal with the loss of his bride. Set moments after "I Do, Adieu."

Twenty years after "One For The Road" told through the eyes of Norm Peterson. Find out who is living happily or miserably after all this time and whose stories have ended already.

The skies over him have darkened. Bobby knows this storm, he can't win. But she won't let him give up. B/A

Lodestone - (figurative) a thing that is the focus of attention or attraction. They've both moved on, but they can't quite let go. My version of how Alex and Bobby reconnect after they've both left MCS, as they ponder what they mean to each other.

Part 1 is a post ep for Blind Spot, which then travels through Siren Call. Part 2 travels through the rest of season six. Part 3 continues on until Frame. It's like watching the show but getting a whole lot of behind the scenes and in betweens, too! His weakness allowed them to get to him through her. But even after the ordeal, Bobby still had a blind spot.

A brief meditation on the morning after Sam and Diane's first night together. Follow up to my "Passion Play" fic, which is based on the events of "Power Play". Note: "Passion Play" is M rated, and there is no need to read it before this, because this can stand alone.

Takes place after "Fortune and Men's Weight". Through a psychic reading, Diane feels a great confidence in the power of love. Lots of material taken from my own personal expieriences with mediums and supernatural/spiritual teachings. Enjoy!

Recommended by Diane, Sam starts to write a diary. In the start he did it to impress Diane but finds out later that maybe writing thoughts and feelings down isn't that bad a thing once in a while... First chapter taking place in 1983.

A/U version of "How Do I Love Thee? Let Me Call You Back". As in the original episode, Sam stops by Diane's after their ILY misfire, but the scene plays out just a bit differently.

Set during the final scene in One For the Road. An unexpected person was the one on the other end of the phone and tells them in their own way what the meaning of life really is.

This story is an epistolary. It is the email and letter correspondence between Goren and Eames during their year apart, after Loyalty and before Rispetto. (sorry for the long wait. I never forgot about this story) COMPLETE

A missing scene/bridge between Rebound, Part 2 and I Call Your Name. Sam shares his ongoing recovery with Diane. Diane has some recovering of her own to do.

Additional scene for "Any Friend of Diane's". What happened after Rebecca Prout left Sam and Diane alone on the office couch.

The events leading up to Sam and Diane's arrival at the bar in Sumner's Return.

A fellow Sherlock author asked me to put together a comprehensive guide to writing both gay and straight erotic fiction, as well as lists of sexy words and some general writing tips. Please feel free to use. Includes Table of Contents and References.

A conversation between two friends. Care and concern, nothing more. T for language.

"Hi," the little girl said. "What's your name?" The boy bit his lip, indecisive. Then, seeming to decide that this wasn't too obtrusive of a question, he replied, "I'm Bobby."

A link between Battle of the Exes and An American Family, featuring Sam and Diane's storied yet unseen first trip to The Pequod. Also an effort to exorcise the negative feelings I have about the former episode by reconciling it with my love for the latter.

Begins six months after "I Do, Adieu", and ends some weeks before "Home Is The Sailor". Diane struggles to come to terms with the fact that she won't be returning to Boston, and to Sam. Still, their bond can never be broken, and they both will re-learn this, in a way neither of them could ever imagine. Now complete, at last! Please review, and enjoy!

The missing final scene from Power Play- Sam and Diane consummate. Again, this is rated M for a reason. I try to imbue my M-rated material with some substance and heart, but it is still a whole lotta smutty smut, so... forewarned. Oh, and remember, it's 1983. Comments are always appreciated!

A behind-the-scenes look at season 6, Privilege through Silencer.

Diane meets Woody for the first time. Set early Season 4, between "Birth, Death, Love, and Rice" and "Woody Goes Belly Up". Please review, and let me know what you think. Enjoy!

She lies. He lies. Sometimes, lies can bring two people closer together. My *actual* post-ep for the SVU epi & web content. B/A, S10 compliant, SVU retcon.

A drunken roll in the hay, and both Bobby & Alex are left with a lot to think about. Oneshot.

We all have skeletons in the closet, no matter how good we are. Bobby & Alex have theirs, too. Crime story with a good dose of BA drama thrown in.

Pretend you've just found Alex Eames' personal journal. Alex's thoughts and feelings as she navigates her own heart.

Maybe, just maybe, Bobby Goren will learn a little something about love.

See Authors Note

"Bobby, are you okay?" His voice was so quiet, she barely heard him. "I think I'm having a heart attack," he mumbled. Mwahahaha. B/A angst, as well as a crime story. And Hockey. You know you secretly love hockey. Rated M, cuz things get a little hot near the end.

The laundromat becomes a regular haunt, and Bobby gets wrapped up in his neighbors' drama. B/A, eventually. Growing friendship with Logan. Some hurt/comfort, too.

In a dusty patient file in a storeroom at Goldenbrook Sanitarium, a collection of unsent letters is found and delivered to the unintended recipient more than 25 years later. Rated T for an instance of salty language and generally mature themes.

"You know, somebody should be writing this down." "Actually, last time I talked to Bobby, he was holed up in a cabin in Maine. He's 800 pages in." Bobby's POV

Alex can't sleep.

Sequel to Upstate, which is part of the "In From the Cold" world. Logan/Rodgers

Years after their departure from MCS, Goren & Eames find their way back to the department. They catch up with each other years after season 9. Last Chapter is up: GOREN & EAMES. COMPLETE

"Conventional would never be a word used to describe their relationship." Fic written for the Porn Battle XII. Prompt: Normal.

Can't summarize.

Set right after "Pick a Con, Any Con", Sam makes an effort to get to know Diane better without revealing too much about himself. Inspired by "Teacher's Pet" and that line about Kierkegaard in "Pick a Con". Reviews are really appreciated!

A/U ending to "Cliffie's Big Score". Diane goes back to the bar after dumping Cliff on the side of the road. First chapter is a mild T, the second is a for real M. Reviews are always appreciated!

When you're stuck in the work world, how do you get to the sensual world? The journey is surprisingly convoluted. G&E hope a camping trip will help take them in a new direction, but sister Liz has other plans. Chapter 11: how Eames got her bruises.

Goren saved their lives in Brooklyn Fed, so Logan offers to buy him a drink. Goren reveals a bit more than he ever intended. Stress Position postep.

Post Episode 8, Season 10. Rated M mostly for language.

A oneshot post-story for Out of the Ashes - all Mike and Liz.

Third story in the series containing "In From the Cold" and "Into the Fire". Post-Loyalty, so forget everything you know about season 10. BA and Logan/Rodgers

Follow-up to "The Mostly True Confessions of an Honest Man", and the fourth in what I've unofficially dubbed the "Normal Life Series". Post-ep 10.8

Follow-up one-shot to "Let's Go"

Where "To The Boy in the Blue Knit Cap" should have left us.

Pre-season 10 oneshot. This is a different take than my previous s10 story - just my thoughts on another possibility for the missing year.

When Alex gets heatstroke on a family outing, what does Liz do? She dumps her sister at home and calls someone to clean up the mess. Who does she call? Guess. B/A hurt-comfort with a happy ending.

This is not part of any series - just an early season six character study. All BA.

Sequel to In From the Cold...after a year of undercover work with the FBI, Goren and Eames are back at Major Case.

May be your own. After Purgatory.

See story.

A missing scene of sorts from "The Agitated Heart," since you all asked so nicely and I wanted to write it anyway. One-sided Wheeler/Eames, implied Goren/Eames.

Sam's wildest dream comes true. S/D/R if easily offended Do Not Read!

Not 50 First Dates. Rather, one first date, one second date, one third date, etc. Some things move so slowly that they seem to be stationary, but then one day you look and everything’s changed.

NOT part of my series...This story begins during the episode "Endgame" and does contain mild spoilers and a couple of direct quotes. After the first chapter, it mostly wanders down its own path. Pre-BA

Set after Betrayed Season 7 . Bobby and Alex work through the fallout from Purgatory. BA. Also, spoilers for Lady's Man in chapter 3 & Alpha Dog in chapter 4.

Episode tag for Loyalty. I didn't much care for the ending Eames and Goren received. Originally this was a fluffy little one-shot to say goodbye to two of my favorite characters, especially the under-appreciated Alex Eames. But now it grew.

Post-ep for 'Loyalty, Part I.' HERE THERE BE SPOILERS. A quiet moment for Goren and Eames.

The goal is to obtain information and extract a confession.

Goren and Eames finally start to deal with the events of Purgatory, the SE7 ep in which Goren went undercover. Technically a post-ep for Henry Kissinger, the one with the murders centered around a posh preschool. B/A established relationship - sort of!

post Frame. Complete

Read Authors Note. Be Kind when reviewing. I just thought of this today, rather quickly. I know it's not the best, but I hope you enjoy even a little.

This is my take on Bobby Goren's state of mind after Purgatory. I make sense of his behavior and let him and Alex work it out. It is a B/A first time. This story is rated T but has an "M" section at the end for one sex scene. Bobby/Alex

He suddenly realized that he doesn't know her at all. Warning: This story contains adult situations.

Maybe despair is settling for whatever comfort you can take, or maybe love is finding the perfection in the imperfect.

Don't even know how to explain this. Feeling a bit Angsty I guess. Thinking that whether you are a shipper or not, maybe they are just too complicated to realize what they could have? I don't know. Would love some reviews.

Bobby and Alex have to go to a costume party. Bobby is dressed as Zorro, Alex is wearing a Catholic schoolgirl outfit. This is a LJ challenge and is Bobby/Alex fluff and romp. Zaps to your toes. Don't think about it too much.

This is a post Blind Spot fic. Alex and Bobby talk about what happened and eventually they talk about how they feel about one another. This is full of angst and pain and suffering and has a happily ever after kind of ending. Now 4 parts and an epilogue.

Goren and Eames: making unhealthily co-dependent relationships look ridiculously hot since--well, the 2nd season, in my opinion. Rated T for swearing and angry sex; might be an M, let me know and I'll change it. Set 7th or late 6th season, your choice.
