Olivia hates her professor. Sometimes she wishes he'd just disappear. But when an emergency strikes he proves to be a blessing in disguise. (AU Olitz)

Michonne is finding it difficult to deal with her feelings for Rick. Will she push him away?

He can't leave the room. Her room. And it's all the Order's fault. Confined to a small space with only the Mudblood for company, something's going to give. Maybe his sanity. Maybe not. "There," she spat. "Now your Blood's filthy too!" DM/HG. PostHBP. Now complete with epilogue.

Based on a request by the ever-lovely Alex311: AU where Rick and Michonne were married before the Turn. I have given this request some serious consideration and wanted to write it from the view that Michonne would have been in hospital when people were evacuated and someone told Rick and Carl that she had died in order to get them to leave

AU Richonne. This is focused on teenaged Richonne. Set in rural Georgia where Michonne has been spending her summer vacation visiting with family. Both she and Rick meet one day on Old Route 3 and a surprising friendship blossoms.

But when an unexpected "fixer" comes into his life, things change. He can't win without her help but the presidency is not all he wants now. Can he truely have the job and girl he's always wanted. My take on Episode 1X06

A devastating tragedy brings English teacher Michonne Mitchell to the small town of Possum Holler for some much needed peace of mind, but instead she finds herself in the middle of a scandal involving the widowed small town Sheriff and his troubled young son and infant daughter. When all hell on earth breaks loose the bond they've formed will be the only thing that keeps them alive

He needed a wife to save the place he called home. She needed a place to start over. Can Rick and Michonne be what each other need? Short story, fast burn. Rick is A brute and Michonne is a beauty. No angst.

Olivia and Fitz were almost high school sweethearts. When an unfortunate accident brings them back together, will they find love?

"Ideally, a Presidency lasts 8 years. Ideally, a marriage lasts 50. 8 years of a job, even the highest job in the Land is not worth 42 years of misery...";"What kind of coward was I to marry her and not wait for you to show up...why didn't I meet you sooner..."These two lines will be at the core of this Olitz fic;Rated for language & spice;7th in my 2013 SSS Project;NOW COMPLETE!

Post finale. The Samcedes story that was never told.

A canon era Mary and Matthew story where love, loyalty, and trust all have their boundaries tested.

AU set in ASZ, where Rick and Michonne never meet at the prison but his road to Alexandria was relatively the same. Three years after becoming Alexandria's leader, he and Michonne finally cross paths.

Eddard Stark offered her a deal. Safe return to the Seven Kingdoms but in exchange she would need to marry his son, to keep her under watch instead of killing her like Robert wanted. She accepted because she believed she could work on her plans from within. She could turn the Young Wolf in her ally. But she wasn't expecting Robb Stark not to be like the men she knew.

After being separated for over two years, Rick reunites with Michonne and his children. Fiercely determined to keep the family together, Rick doesn't register a major problem in this desire. Michonne is not his! Open to that changing, the two learn that picking up from where they left off isn't as simple as it sounds. (Darkfic)

Did a S6 rewatch and felt the need to write Jealous!Rick. Here's what I came up with. This will be a two-parter.

[INDEFINITE HIATUS] AU. The title is pretty self explanatory. Olivia, Fitz, and a one night stand that won't go away. Scandal and its characters belongs to ABC, SR & Co, et al.

Domination can hurt so good. A series of stories about what sex is really like.

After Michonne and Rick's heart-to-heart in Alexandria's jail cell, their connection quickly turns to skin-on-skin. (Richonne one-shot, set to episode 7x08, Hearts Still Beating.)

Mellie comes to the party with one goal in mind. Will she go through with her plan or will everything come crumbling down around her before she even gets a chance to put it into action? Olitz ;-) Rated M for a good reason. ONE SHOT.

I couldn't just let that slide, so I rewrote the scene starting from Fitz walking away. And I didn't like how it ended, so I changed it. One shot on how it should've gone. Please review!

I was disappointed about how the elevator scene on the campaign trail ended, so I wrote an alternate ending. Hope you enjoy! Please review.

After 15 years and 4 children, Olivia feels like she is in quicksand. She is unfulfilled in her life and marriage to Fitz. What she has no longer passes for happiness. Can they recapture what they had and get back to the "us" they created when they first met?

So...with all the fluffiness from the sequels, I had a great need for angst. This is an idea I have been toying with. What if the electrical closet and finding out Fitz had her under surveillance was enough to make Olivia bolt without a trace... how will Fitz cope with not knowing where she was. How will Liv navigate a life without Fitz. Can she completely move without him?

Rick has told all the important people in his life about his relationship with Michonne. His mother, Lori and others. How are they going to take the news? Will they allow Richonne to have a happy ending or a challenge?...Yeah, you guessed it… A challenge. This is a sequel to 'Your Secret.'

What happens when a fatal accident occurs and causes a couple to stray from each other? How will they overcome the heartache and find their way back to the love they once shared? An OLITZ fanfic.

AU. I'm missing Scandal and football. So, I decided to combine the two. Fitz is a pro football player. Liv is an agent.

Just an idea I had; a little S6 speculation going on here, plus some headcanon. Trying to figure out how Morgan is gonna fit into the story now. I will look at the Wolves a little, but not going to be writing epic battle scenes haha Either way, Morgan's gonna be there and he's awesome. I am Richonne Trash though so let's see how this goes.

Sequel to "Devoted to Your Happiness" The quality where the love is unchangeable in purpose; it never wavers. It is loyal, firm and faithful. It is in a constant state of happiness.

10 months after the life shattering event, Fitz and Olivia finally meet up at the white house. Sparks fly but maybe not the ones that they want. :::based of the promo for scandal 214 aka WTF lol:::

Michonne is dealing with a lot of guilt over Glenn's possible death. So when Rick comes in with the worst possible news, she finds herself at wit's end. (Angsty Richonne one-shot, surrounding episode 6x05, Now.)

Don't make any important decisions when in pain or ecstasy. It is too late for Olivia who does just that. She enters into a life-altering unholy alliance with Fitzgerald Grant who has come to her museum to investigate the loss of an important manuscript. Will she be able to go back? Will she want to?

Rick is falling hard and doesn't know how to deal with it. If he opens up, will it make her stick around or drive her away for good? 100% Richonne.

Michonne is ready to relax in the Safe Zone, but she knows better. How will she and her group deal in a comfortable place, where walkers wait outside and humans scheme & plot? Some Richonne/Caryl.

Olivia is marrying her college sweetheart Jake tomorrow and her friends want to throw her a party. One crazy night and a guy from seemingly out of nowhere later, Olivia is left questioning everything she knew to be true.

OK, so I saw a challenge on Tumblr about writing the first time Michonne and Rick share something. So, I decided on a hug. I truly believe that if they hug it will be magical, electrifying and freaking sexy!

Hi, I wrote this as a back plan in case, the real TWD 5x16 doesn't pan out the way I would've liked to see the Rick and Michonne relationship to unfold this season.

Rick is afraid. Afraid of disappointing everyone and being a bad leader. Michonne is someone who can help with all of this.
