This is my further update and a far more extensive version of the rescue of Little Jack and Nathan's visit to Fort Clay. The leading characters of the series are forced to come to grips with how they feel now that we venture into season 9. As always, it's not going to be easy. I, along with the program's aim, try to arrive at a positive outcome for all of us.

A non-canon companion to my story, What If: Jack

This will be a journey back and forth in time in the relationship between Nathan Grant and Elizabeth Thornton. An emotional journey of these two in very different timeslots. After Elizabeth's decision to pursue a relationship with Lucas Bouchard, Nathan decided to leave Hope Valley but left something for Elizabeth that causes her more turmoil than she thought she ever has to face.

Someone has to call Elizabeth out on her behavior, and it seems like Nathan should be the one to start it.

This is a story about Jack and Elizabeth as they come to Coal Valley and the challenges that face in 1910. This is part one in the Chalk Dust to Eternity series. This is an A/U and I have moved the timeline as well as changed some characters and added others

RELOADED! A When Calls the Heart Fanfiction. This is and AU story and my take on what should have happened with Elizabeth and Jack. Many of the original events of the series will be included, as well as some that I create. Some of the events will be omitted and others will be changed to fit my story. The timeline of the events have also changed to fit what I wanted to tell.

This is one take on how season 8 SHOULD have gone. Elizabeth's eyes are opened by an incident at the saloon and a chance encounter with Constable Grant. Word of caution- I despise Lucas, so his character developement will be far from flattering.

Jack Thornton and Elizabeth Thatcher knew each other in high school, but lost touch after he graduated. Now a single father, Jack meets up with Elizabeth again, and the two of them realize the feelings they tried to hide from each other so many years ago are still very much alive.

A teaser for season nine says that something about Lucas' past will give Elizabeth pause before they take their relationship beyond courtship. What could cause such a reaction from Elizabeth? What happened in Lucas' past? TN: Please be kind or don't read.

Elizabeth realizes she has to faces her fears and allow Nathan into her heart to find true love. Nathan aches to help her but will she allow it? Nathan realizes he needs to not only accept forgiveness from Elizabeth but also his own. Elizabeth longs to help him but will he accept it?

Nathan Grant has possibilities for friendship & growing love, but with which HV single lady? 3 separate & non-sequential stories explore how a relationship could grow with Faith or Fiona, & a renewed connection with Elizabeth.
