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.

Spoilers for season finale! AU story timeline for the story starts mid-episode ish. Combined imagination/writing of Icarus and Jaded. Instead of finding out Lizzie is alive and going to Cuba, Red is arrested after trying to kill Kirk. The first chapter is mostly backstory and it start to pick up in the next few chapters. Sorry can't give better summary w/o giving away too much

Logically Elizabeth knew this day would come. Everyone died eventually, it was a fact of life. Illogically, she had never expected the actual day to come. Dembe was at her door, and she knew instinctually it was to tell her that Raymond Reddington was gone. Warning Major Char Death.

After the events of the King's case, in which, Liz finally realized just how broken Red is, she hatches a scheme to do something nice for him. However, we all know the best laid schemes of mice and men, often go awry. Despite Liz's best intentions her scheme for Red ends up a mess and people get hurt. CH7: REDS finally awake (i know finally i got bored too)

Takes place shortly after the Quon Zhang S2 Ep20. Red Knew she deserves someone better, but Tom Keen is not that man. Red would not nominate himself either, but he was a selfish man after all. Lizzie knew that Tom and Red were using her, but what where their main objectives? If she knew that, then she would know who to trust when they told her not to trust the other man.

A drunk exhausted Red seeks out Lizze for comfort. When she wakes in the morning she finds evidence of their shared past, and demands answers. Spoilers for any episodes up to date in the US. Own nothing and there are spoilers for any episodes up to date.

Post Luther Braxton oneshot. Liz comes to ask why Red killed her family, and they hash out some problems. Any errors are mine (and they exist) I wrote as one long a stream of consciousness on my part. Please let me know what you think. And of course I don't own anything.
