Part 1 of the Facets series. A collection of sick fics and dialogue prompt-driven mini fics from over on tumblr. Each chapter is a new prompt. Content will vary but ratings should all be T and under. All Lizzington.

How Red and Liz's conversation could have gone in 3x12-baby retcon ;) I do not own The Blacklist, nor do I make money from this...

Dembe takes the evening off leaving Elizabeth in charge of keeping Reddington in line. Spoiler Alert - Liz fails. Heavy on the usual suspects.

The private 96-acre island off the coast of Brunei had been his way out. He had convinced himself that Elizabeth and everyone else would be better off without him in their lives. So, he had left for good, until she came to find him.

Post 4x02 - "Mato". An alternate take on events from the first half of season 4. Lizzie sets out to make things right with Red, take responsibility for the pain she caused in faking her death, and from that conversation a deeper truth concerning Agnes rises to the surface.

Three-part fic based on a tumblr prompt about the aftermath of Red's poisoning in 4x15. Liz and Red get that scene they never had, plus more, including Liz caring for Red, lung damage, and feelings! Huzzah! Lizzington all the way.

A story that runs in the background of the Blacklist, between Red and one of his associates. I own nothing of the Blacklist or the characters, unfortunately!

Elizabeth harbors a secret that she finally lets go of. Lizzington

Red nearly died by poison? Is Dembé really a traitor and did he poison Red? And what is the secret Elizabeth is hiding from Red? I wrote this story so we would have something to read during the hiatus of The Blacklist.

A post 4x22 fic. Red's thoughts and reactions to the "father reveal". Lizzington.

With Red gone, Lizzie starts a new life, but it's been hard without Red. A year later Red makes his presence known to Lizzie and they try to find their way back to each other. A Lizzington fic.

Red runs into an old girlfriend outside of a hotel in Chicago. Still reeling from the fallout of Lizzie's faked death, the old girlfriend is there to help him cope as he continues his blacklist. Tom Keen has left, leaving Lizzie a single parent. Of course, she seeks help from Red. However, not all is at it seems in the world. Eventually Lizzington, probably in 2nd story.

Red thinks Liz is working too hard, stressed over her sudden single parenthood and the job, so he drops by to remind her that she isn't alone. What starts as a friendly neck rub soon turns into more… Put it…somewhere over the most recent hiatus, after TK buggers off. I think this is the longest smutty one shot I've written. It may have gotten a little out of control.

This is my take on how Red might react to finding out Lizzie faked her death. The first chapter is very angry, so consider yourself warned. I think Red has every right to his pain and anger, but I believe he will ever stop loving her. Rating will switch to M in later chapters. As always, I do not own the Blacklist. I just love Red too much to leave the poor man alone for long!

"So it's true, when all is said and done, grief is the price we pay for love." ― E.A. Bucchianeri (AU half way through 4.08)

In the aftermath of seeing Red take a bullet over the Fulcrum, Liz makes a course correction (2x19). Then the followup, my attempt to see them handle a Now or Never situation. Finally, now up, the aftermath. Lizzington; M.

*Set after Kirk conclusion, because I think we just need something to get us all by after what TPTB has done* *Ratings will change from T-M, unfortunately Tom is in this story but just hang in there with me* After Lizzie she's Red with Agnes she starts to realize how differently she should have done things. She goes to Reddington while he's recovering and everything changes.

Anslo wasn't the only one to witness Red's weakness and now Liz will suffer for it.

A lizzington-centric retelling of the season three finale.

There she was. Standing on the sidewalk, with blood flowing gently through her veins, because, no, she wasn't dead. It wasn't that she had cheated death, she had cheated him. Set after Lizzie was saved in 4x2 "Mato" and Red drove off in his car.

Liz and Red are meeting with an informant for information. The meeting doesn't go quite as planned, thanks to Red. This is from a prompt on the FB page Lizzington Forever. I own nothing of The Blacklist

What if Lizzie had always known Red was her dad? AU. I own nothing. ON HIATUS

Red and Liz pass the time in their shipping container on the way to Spain. One shot. Lizzington. NSFW.

Following the death of her father, Liz is in a dark place. Red meets her there. In their own way, they begin to heal each other. Post-1x07/1x08.

"The little girl's face lights up every time he looks at her. Every time her small hand encircles one of his fingers, all the burdens are lifted from his shoulders and he glows. She'll never tire of the sight. It's the most beautiful thing she's ever seen."

"She hasn't seen him in over a year. She doesn't know where he is. Sometimes she finds a letter in her mailbox, no return address, no name. Just a note inside, handwritten and unmistakable. It's always a red envelope. She tears up every time. Now, after years of running and working and endless escapes and finally safety, she can't remember a time when she hasn't loved him."

The first night they met, he wanted her. How far would he go? How far would she let him? This is the beginning of Red and Merry's backstory. As always, I do not own The Blacklist. I just wish I owned Red...

An attempt to explain Liz' behaviour. Post Finale S3 Disclaimer: Blacklist and the characters are NOT mine

A one-shot set after 3.18. Spoilers all throughout. Red deals with what has happened.

Red was willing to burn the world down to protect the one person he cared about the most. What if he was too late? What if the one thing that made the most sense in his life was taken away?

An alternate, much darker version of what happened in the hangar during S3E5. AU from the moment Solomon arrives. Be warned that this is dark and it is a Lizzington fic.

Lizzington. Post S2 Finale. Liz is taken, but Red believes her to be dead. This is darker, will eventually be rated M for violence and yes, probably smut. Multi-chapter fic. Disclaimed, I own nothing and make no money.

This is my take on what happens at Liz's wedding and after. Solves that baby and Tom problem and gets Liz back to where she really belongs, with Red .Basically post episode 3:16 Mixture of teen and mature . Getting a little steamy. A work in progress.

It's desperate and it's urgent when Liz goes to Tom for the boat sex. Ever wondered why? A different course of the dreadful episode 3x11.

He takes a sharp breath and holds it in, the air burning his lungs. The mere though of never having her shatters him, but it can never happen. He takes a step back, drops his hands to his sides "But it can never happen again" He says, sounding pained and broken already.

My take on the third season. I'm going to ignore Tom as much as I can, but the writers seem to insist on shoehorning him into the plots of the upcoming episodes. I can only hope someone puts a bullet in him soon. Chapter 4 completes the first half of this story. I'll come back after the finale and finish with Part 2.

"We can't have you running back to the FBI telling tales, can we? I'm afraid you're coming with me…" Twenty-seven year old rookie profiler Elizabeth Scott is rescued from the clutches of a criminal gang by a mysterious stranger, only to find that he has an agenda of his own… A dark romance. Lizzington. Rated M.

How would Red and Lizzie spend their last hour together? The pair are captured with no hope of recovery. Sad and also sweetly smutty.

Part one of 'Yearlong' and now complete.

I love the Blacklist and it's characters, and so I am taking them out to play :) This is a super-angsty piece mostly about Liz after Red leaves her. I dreamed this up and just HAD to write it. Title is based on the song "The Lonely" by Christina Perri, which always reminds me of this show and makes me feel all angsty inside, too. Hope you feel something! Honest reviews appreciated!

"I'm getting married." These three words resonated in her mind over and over again in every waking moment, while in the darkness of the night, they haunted her very being with tormented dreams in which she drowned in her own misery.

Set three years after Kings of the Highways...Liz gets an unexpected surprise. Unfortunately we do not own any of the characters nor do we make any money off our stories. We do this simply because we LOVE The Blacklist!

Kind of a set after we find out Tom is Jacob, or Facob as I like to call him. Anyway, shameless pwp smutty lizzington one-shot. First story ever, so please no flames. Disclaimer: Don't own the characters or anything related to blacklist at all ever in my life ever.

"Tom is calling to take you away, start a new life with a new identity." "…Face this now, fight it, and you'll be free to make any choice you want." Is this the choice he thought she wanted to make? Especially- now? After all that was said and done, after everything was laid out on the table, after her memories came flooding back? Red and Liz must separate.
