This is a long awaited conversation; Cal and Gillian finally talk about everything. "This: it's an apology letter to the both of us for how long it took me to let things go."

it quickly becomes apparent that her hearing wasn't all that she lost in Islamabad. (Season One AU.)

A man dies. The mission lives on. (One-shot. Post 3.05)

They're both in the woods and he knows it, and Mac's in danger and Will never had a choice in choosing his sisters and his mother but he's pledged his life to MacKenzie and he's chosen to protect her and it means something, even if the simple platinum band was taken from him during inmate processing. (Spoilers for 3.04 and 3.05.)

Based on LilacMermaid25's prompt on tumblr: Mac manages to restrain herself from hitting Will (barely), but not everyone on their staff can contain themselves when they see him being mean to her.

After the stabbing the Navy doctor told her it was highly unlikely that even she did conceive that it would implant, that between the adhesions and the depth and angle of the knife wound she would probably never carry a viable pregnancy, and yet here she is, staring at two pink lines on a stupid white stick ten days after her husband was thrown into federal prison. (S3 spoilers.)

Sometimes you have to hit the bottom before you can climb back up

The front of her building was crowded with police cars and an ambulance, a long yellow cord preventing anyone from going inside. [...] Everything in her living room was turned upside down: papers scattered all over the room, broken glass on the floor, smashed laptop on her desk, cushions thrown from the couch that had landed everywhere. What the hell had happened in there?

"Haven't you been paying attention? Mackenzie's staff is confronting her right now about her misguided desire to shoulder all the blame for Operation Genoa."

Gillian receives a curious letter-Cal, of course, noses his way into the situation. Thus abounds fun, roadtrips and backstory! The secret is out, they're going to Gillian's high school reunion! COMPLETE.

"MacKenzie knows that she needs to uproot and leave before she rots where she's planted." 2.06 AU; the Genoa story never goes to air. Now complete.

"Will?" she tried again, a little louder, but there was still no response. Reluctantly, she cracked open one eye. Shit. She hadn't even made it to bed. It was dark, and she was lying face down in the dirt. Where the hell was she? Does Mac have the hangover from hell? Or is it something worse? Post S2.

He's too tired to shout, too tired to work up a scathing look to shoot at Mac from the news desk, too tired to figure out exactly where he had gone wrong today. (Will/Mac)

All the loose ends we leave behind, unspooled threads of twine that tie us together, what do we do with them? —Six shots ring out on the twenty-third floor of the AWM building at just past one-thirty in the afternoon. (Post-Genoa retraction AU. WIP. Ensemble, Mac-centric.)

They meet as strangers six years later at charity event, years and the whole of the Atlantic between them. One-shot AU. "What if Mac had never had Jim in her life?"

"The first thing that struck Cal as odd that night was the text message that woke him up..."

Saying "I love you" won't solve all your problems. Those you still have to figure out for yourself. (Post 1.07 AU. WIP.)

"I gotta see you Doc. It's an emergency." Habib sighed. "It's always an emergency with you Will. Why don't you try coming to your weekly appointments like everyone else? You're not the only patient I have, you know." "I know, Doc, and I get it, but this time it's different." Post season two. Fluffier than you might think. Now with added epilogue.

"He's not entirely sure how he managed to become Ass Number One, he just knows that he did, and now Jim Harper wants him severely injured and Mackenzie is hurting" . prompt-fic, pre-proposal, one-shot.

They had told the staff to get some sleep while maintenance worked to bring the generators back on, but Mac isn't sleeping. Neither is he, obviously. (The answer to the question of why Will was waiting outside of Mac's meeting with the lawyers. Set during 2.07.)

She hasn't slept in over twenty-four hours, and she's still got miles and hours to go until she intends to rest. (A version of 'Under the Waves' where Mac comes home before the Ghouta attack, no one gets sarin dropped on them, and everyone is a lot happier. 2.09 AU.)

She tries to hold out, for longer and longer, like a child holding their breath under the water. Eventually she'll drown, or come up for air, lungs burning. Either way, it'll be over. She'll be done running away. (Will doesn't have his revelation on Election Night, and by Friday, MacKenzie has decided to embed again.)

Will has been punishing Mac for a long time. But what happens if someone else takes it as an invitation to do the same thing? Goes AU at the end of Season 1.

(...our arms fill with miracles.) What if Mac had brought Jerry up to the News Night floor to answer for what he'd done? How would that have changed things?

"It's not the internet this time," Charlie said. "The mailroom received some mail addressed to you and intercepted it. It's a threat, and it's credible." Set post Season 2.

"The ring on her finger was not a magic solution. It was a huge step in the right direction, but a lot of hurt still simmers just beneath the surface on both sides, and they're caught up in the excitement of the engagement, and the stress of the Genoa trial, and it only hits weeks later, during a rare, quiet moment."

...don't be afraid anymore. (Or, five other ways Will and Mac could have gotten back together before Election Night.)

Mackenzie has some minor surgery and needs someone to help her.

"They think he hit her. They think he hurt Mac. The idea is so repulsive that Will thinks he might actually be sick." Sloan and Mac try out boxing, it doesn't go well.

Mackenzie finds out about Nina. A/N: Updated 09-03-2013. This goes A/U because I'm ignoring Genoa and the election.

Mac's drunk and Sloan's just, well, uncomfortable with the whole situation. Mac/Sloan friendship; Mac/Will.

Mackenzie is currently spread out like a starfish across the mattress and he's stuck out in the middle of the cold, dark apartment, trying to fall asleep on the couch, all because he'd dared ignore her for a good three minutes during a In hindsight, it's his own

'"What would I have done if you had said no?" He repeats lightly. She nods slowly, her lips still tangled in her teeth.' WillxMac Another addition to the post-finale fics. SPOILERS!

Will receives a frantic telephone call in the middle of the night. Spoilers up to 2x02.

What was short-lived as potentially her most triumphant moment in journalism, a turning point in world politics, the exact reason she got into this effed-up game in the first place, was ruined.

In the wake of Genoa Mac cracks. Can Will calm her down? Spoilers for Season 2, based on 2x08 promo.

SPOILERS AHEAD! It's dramatic, it's angsty, it's painful…but lord help me I'm somehow still in love with these two. Post Ep-3, because I wanted to kill Will and Sorkin just a little bit.

His mission to civilize had bigger consequences than he had intended.

There was a dull bleeping noise coming from somewhere just above her. And it was annoying. But she didn't seem to be able to wake up to turn it off – why was that? WillxMac

They'd been just in time. Just barely. He'd let the damn bastard get to her. He'd put her in danger. He had failed.

Will/Mac - Mac accidentally tells Will that she loves him.

The course of true love never did run smooth. Will and Mac have finally worked things out or at least they thought they had until Mackenzie's nightly escapades turn dangerous for Will.

After Gillian is hurt while on the job: tempers will flare, lines will be crossed, friendships will be tested, and even love might ensue-if they can survive everything first.

Based on one of Lilacmermaid33's prompts at LJ: "Mac is attacked and she doesn't know where else to turn."

Mackenzie might be sick. Will might be terrified. Together, they just might make it through.

They were just getting to the point where they could move on. Will never thought about what else could go wrong in their lives. Maybe he should have. Will/Mackenzie of course.

News Night is busy. Mackenzie is exhausted. Will is worried. This is what happens... WillxMac

When Mac told Jim, "I deserved what I got", what if her microphone was still on, and Will heard their conversation?

"Mac never refuses Will, because she's always afraid it's going to be the last time." There are 6 shots in a .38 revolver...

aka, the jellyfish fic. "I didn't realise there would be jellyfish," she mumbles, still tucked into his chest with her lips pressed to his jumper. It's the nice navy blue one that she once complimented him on and Will had been chuffed when her eyes had lingered on him earlier that morning.

Instead of cheating, what if Mac had talked to Will about her fears?

Will/Mac present-day Something upsets Mac so much that she just can't fight back anymore; Will has never seen her like this.

Will attempts to look after Mackenzie when she falls ill

This is how the day that Mac injured her ankle at the New York Marathon, which led to Will carrying her to the first aid tent and missing the race, went down in my mind. ;) Will/Mac one shot. Rather fluffy.

AU "Amen". Mackenzie-centric. You know me well enough by now to be able to at least guess at what this may entail…or do you? Mwahahahaha!

Post Ep The Blackout Part 2. Can Will and Mac put the last few days behind them and move forward again? A Will/Mackenzie fanfic. All characters belong to Mr. Sorkin and HBO. I just like playing with them, but I promise to put them back when I'm done.
