A/N - this is an extension of the previous story Midnight Whispers and is intended to be a multi-chapter fiction. I hope you enjoy, as always reviews are appreciated!

It isn't the secrets or the lies that are pulling Nadine's life apart, nor is it the grief. It's the fact that, after everything she'd done for him, the man she loves is now dead. A two-parter, pre-series through early season 1. Dark(ish) AU.

'Anyone seen the whipped cream? I'm positive there was some here yesterday." My continuation of the 5x03 scene about the Great British Baking Show - Terrible title.

A visit to St. Anne's leaves the McCords preparing to say "Goodbye." Set in the present.

A combination of lilacmermaid25's tumblr prompt: "Elizabeth's wearing pretty new lingerie tonight, something she hasn't had the confidence to do for a while now, and Henry wonders what's changed", and a tumblr drabble prompt: "I wasn't going to mention it".

From lilacmermaid25's tumblr prompt: Elizabeth is extremely hoarse, and people at home and at work keep asking her if she's feeling alright, but she couldn't be better - the state of her voice is merely an indication of extremely good night with her husband.

How does the family and people closest to her cope when they find out that Elizabeth has died. There is two versions of this story, as I had two ways I wanted to take it. There will be dark and triggering content in this story.

Based on a MSec prompt. Madam Secretary Prompt:  Nobody who knows the ethics professor side of Henry would believe that when he and Elizabeth are alone in their room, he's as playful and eager as a college freshman (albeit a skilled and very generous one).

“Ohh the Ionians also had an appreciation of pleasure...” That time Henry dragged Elizabeth back to the Grotto and Nadine totally knew why she was late.

„Do you still love me? Because that's what I've been wondering for a while now…"

He was glad it panned out for her and was grateful that she was finally back home. Now he could relax and just enjoy this time with his wife. Kind of spoilers for 4.11 - Mitya.

"So you just want a distraction." My brain went to places when Elizabeth asked Henry to distract her. Disclaimer, my brain went to smut.

A Marine Corps Captain's love letters have been lost in the mail since the 1990's. But it's never to late for love. AU-ish.

Elizabeth's had a rough day, but she's in good hands... plotless smut because why not?

Numbers made sense, they didn't lie. But in this moment she wished they could. Her husband might die and it was all her fault.

Sometimes you need the break from everything, even if the world is trying to sabotage it repeatedly. Smut, post 5.09

It’s George’s first day as a member of Secretary McCords security detail and he ends up walking in on the Secretary and her husband...

Trust me. Always

Elizabeth and Henry in college. Both totally consumed with each other. Elizabeth gets a B and is mortified so she decides to put their physical relationship on hold until after their exams. SMUT will happen

Based on a Tumblr prompt where Henry and Elizabeth end up in a game of hide and seek. Chapter 2 added for the lilacmermaid prompt. H/E "christen" the last room in their Georgetown home.

Stevie comes home to find H/E asleep on the couch together and he's cupping her breast.

A one shot from the point of view of an ex of Elizabeth's.

From lilacmermaid25's tumblr prompt: Hearing their parents talk about the Great British Baking show so often, the McCord kids buy them the DVDs for Christmas, but it has only ever been a code word for Henry & Elizabeth. Chapter 1 is T rated. Chapter 2 is M. Just FYI.

Elizabeth has a chat with Ali about love.

Elizabeth McCord has proven time and time again that she can handle whatever is thrown at her in her position as Secretary of State. But what about her personal life, how will she deal with the curveball she never saw coming?
