This is my response to the 200 member challenge from the FB group, Fanfiction Fanatics. The challenge: Open a book, take the last sentence, make it the first sentence of a story. I chose The Night Circus. I hope you enjoy my short and steamy one-shot. JE owns all.

Freedom should never be taken for granted. Steph finds letters to her Grandmother, giving her a glimpse back to a time in our country's and her family history.

Sequel to Shattered and Broken: Lester has returned from his mission a broken and guilt-ridden man. Will he let Stephanie help him heal or will he turn away from everything they have built together? Can Stephanie save the man she loves from himself? Will they be able to put the pieces of their lives back together again?

AU. Sometimes not even the Burg's gossip can make Stephanie doubt a decision made.

Ten years after making her choice, Stephanie Plum runs into the man she didn't choose and must contemplate what might have been. Major Babe angst. Now updated with second part from Ranger's PoV.

RangeMan remembers those who served.

"There's no way this could be real. It had to be another dream, right? Dream Soldier couldn't possibly be real…" Stephanie bumps into a man she met in a dream...

A visit to the cemetery on Memorial Day Weekend. Kind of pointless but it was begging to be written. No Joe or Ranger in this one.

Stephanie decides it is time that she and Ranger move out of the Rangemen building and into something better

Not my work, but a friend's who wishes to remain anonymous. This is the sequel to, "One Rainy Night." An AR with a M rating. After a passionate night, Stephanie wonders if her morning will be just as steamy. Thanks for reading! JE owns, well... you know.

Ranger calls Stephanie after a night with the guys and tells her what he thinks should happen.

What does it take to finally see what's been right in front of you all along? Steph has a question to ask that will test the limits of a lifelong friendship. Babe, AU, definitely M.

Stephanie's feeling pretty good after an impromptu girl's night out, and she decides to call Ranger and spread a little of the love she's currently feeling.

Steph decides she wants Ranger. No idea on rating.

Ranger and his Merry Men deal with a problem for the ATF.

An alternate ending to Explosive Eighteen. No particular spoilers other than the name of one bad guy.

This is not my work, but written by a friend who wishes to be anonymous. I love it and hope you will too. In this little one-shot, we join Stephanie after she's had a typical day. Well, for her that is. Rated M. Thanks for reading!

Two writing challenges combined into a scene about the consequences of underage drinking Rangeman style.

How much courage does it take to talk to THAT guy? Stephanie is about to find out. AU because I suck at writing straight canon. M for language and lovin', and as always, Babe.

My response to the 1000 word challenge. There's some foul language so if you're easily offended don't read.

Stephanie heads to Rangeman looking to ask a favor and Ranger gives her more than just a fleet vehicle. Told from Ranger's POV.

Little Alex Manoso learns all about the family he's never met through photo albums and bedtime stories shared by his parents, Stephanie and Ranger. Surprisingly enough Edna and Harry Mazur play a central role in this A/U BABE story. Posting will be once a week.

Happy Mothers Day to all the great moms out there. This is a tribute to all of you and also a reply to the challenge to take the last sentence from a book and use it as the first sentence in a story. Babe established.

Just a little Mother's Day one shot. Stephanie's life goes through some drastic changes on Mother's Day. This story is NOT a Babe. This story will end as a Tart. If you are a total Babe, turn back now. Otherwise, enjoy. :-)

This is my response to the challenge issued on Fb. Take a book, use the last sentence as the first one in your story. I had an additional request on from someone, so I added that too. Yes it is a TART, I will be posting a Babe tomorrow. Lynda
