The story takes place three years after the first book ended. Ana and Christian became good friends but things are about to get complicated when they decided to become friends with benefit with no strings attached. Both POV.

Follow on from Fifty Shades Freed. Life was starting to look up for Ana and Christian. Everything was perfect. But just as happiness sets in, something more sinister is lurking in the shadows, ready to throw everything into chaos once again. Can they survive it this time? Explicit language and adult themes throughout. *NO CHEATING.* *NO ANA/CHRISTIAN DEATHS*

AU. Christian Grey is an out of control teenager known for angry outbursts and physical violence. Anastasia Steele is a quiet girl, undaunted by Christian's reputation. Christian is entranced by Ana in every way, but mostly because she touched him, and he didn't feel fear. A coming of age story between two teens with troubled pasts. Rated "M" for later chapters.

**COMPLETE.** I can't form the words. I don't want to. I can't accept it. I'll fall apart again. I've done that enough in the last thirty days to last ten lifetimes. I'm Christian Grey, CEO of a multi-billion dollar corporation, I. Do. Not. Lose. It. I clench my jaw, steeling my soul. "Ana doesn't know me."

The miscarriage Ana suffered at the hands of Jack Hyde was just one other hurdle they had to cross. However as Anastasia grows as a business woman so does her power. How does the couple handle it when it all goes out of control? I DO NOT GIVE CONSENT FOR THIS STORY TO BE CONTINUED WITHOUT PRIOR DISCUSSION WITH ME FIRST!

What if Christian Grey hadn't been the only one with the terrible past? When fifteen year old Christian is forced to face his demons in the eyes of a nine year old Anastasia Steele, he is forced to learn to think of something other than himself and heal. After being ripped away from eachother for 12 years, can they handle the people they have both become? Slight OOC.

Christian is ready to spend the rest of his life with Ana. She is his entire world. But there are others who want Ana all to themselves. And some who want Ana out of the picture completely. Post 50 Shades Darker, Pre 50 Shades Freed. Ana and Christian's POV.

Picks up two months after last chapter of Freed(before epilogue). How normal can the Grey's life be with Jack Hyde behind them(or so they think)?

Ana goes to a New Year's Eve party with Kate interested in a guy from her college named Blake. But when she spots Christian across the room, will that change?
