"I can't love you in the dark, it feels like we're oceans apart. There is so much space between us, maybe we're already defeated" - Adele. AU!

A wedge has formed between Henry and Elizabeth. Will they be able to get past the fact that their jobs are forcing them to not be able to communicate with each other?

Henry is forced to cancel his date night with Elizabeth when she's stuck at work. Again. But he knows he can't live without her.

"Your speech is perfect. And so are you". SMUT!

Nadine: "I read that one of the projects at the research station is to extract an ice core that's just a little longer than the one extracted by the U.S." Elizabeth: "It always comes down to who's got the longer core, doesn't it?" SMUT!

"They say that time's supposed to heal you, but I ain't done much healing" - Adele

When tragedy strikes, Elizabeth's niece comes to live with the McCord family.

Elizabeth & Henry visit Falls Lake. Will be nice fluffy SMUT. Semi-plotless.

It's raining hard outside; snow might start to fall. Winter has arrived, but it's been so cold for so long now.

Venezuela trip. Pure SMUT!

What if Henry's demons manifested a little more dramatically? This examines 2.01-03. I'm going to call it AU because I've taken some liberties, and I hope I'm wrong. This is me processing. Let me know if you think I'm completely off-base here. I'd love to hear your opinions on it. I can tidy up some of this in a second chapter, but I kinda want to wait to see what the show does.

No one was going to hurt his daughter and get away with it. The problem is, his wife couldn't resist his protective mode. SMUT

Elizabeth McCord is allowed a weekend off after her time in Iran and she begrudgingly takes it. The family retreats to their home outside of the city and as Elizabeth tries to relax and heal, her attitudes about her job begin to change. Will she return to her duties as Madam Secretary when Monday rolls around or will she resign the position and reclaim her former, safer life?

Elizabeth has a day off from her job at the State Department and Henry has everything planned for their free time.

This is a little angst based on 2.03, and the various secrets Elizabeth & Henry must keep from each other about their jobs. Does contain smut.

A universal fiasco isn't always a bad thing. Sometimes, perfect is when everything is imperfection. Smut.

The McCord family had kept Jason out of the loop during Elizabeth's disastrous trip to Iran. They'd thought he was too young to deal with it. Now she's in his hands, and it's definitely not how his family would have liked him to find out. Knowing nothing about the water his mother is swimming in, he's suddenly thrown into the deep end with her. It's time to sink or swim.

Just a little something based on the opening scene in "The Necessary Art".

Love is friendship that has caught fire. It is quiet understanding, mutual confidence, sharing and forgiving. It is loyalty through good and bad times. It settles for less than perfection and makes allowances for human weakness. Elizabeth McCord didn't take things for granted. Especially not when it came to her family and her new job as Secretary of State. FINISHED.

Good sleep, a bath and a glass of wine. And sex. You see where this is heading, right?

Update: This is now a three part series of how Elizabeth told Henry she was pregnant with each of their children.

I was (and still am) in such need for more scenes about Elizabeth getting hurt in Iran (physically and mentally), so that's just me trying to fill in this need.

Read the Title. Basically some good old fashioned fluffy smut. You'll see where I got this idea within the first few lines. :)

Coming home to him is all she wanted, all she needed.

After an assassination attempt on President Dalton which pushes his knowledge of a cover up involving Secretary Marsh's death into the public spotlight, Elizabeth must deal with the aftermath.
