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

"...if it had only been the argument and the French ambassador she would have been fine, just a regular bad day, but the email on top of it all was just too much."

They aren't perfect, but they're perfect for each other. Elizabeth and Henry's relationship, examined.

Tell me you love me.

A day in the life of DS Agents Matt and Kendall. Madam Secretary from their points of view. Complete

There's a war raging inside of me, looking for a release. Smut.

"I like taking the bus. It makes me feel like I'm a regular person, not like someone goes to sleep at night knowing there are no less that twelve armed D.S. agents on the other side of my bedroom wall". Alison's twin sister Arlo, isn't really coping with her mother's new job or the resulting change in family dynamics. She seems to find herself in a spot of trouble. LGBT Character.

Elizabeth & Henry's first time. Mostly fluff, some smut. Potentially multi-chapter.

"Driving away from the wreck of the day, and the light's always red in the rear-view. Desperately close to a coffin of hope, I'd cheat destiny just to be near you"- Anna Nalick

The losses that Elizabeth suffered and the painful journey of processing them all, step by step, day by day. Post-Iran.

"Yes, the discount skywriter..." "Hey, it worked." "It did."

The family has a hard time dealing with Elizabeth after her trip to Iran, especially Jason.

I started writing this after 2x22, so it's a little shot to hell with 2x23, but I'm publishing anyway. This is in response to Conrad possibly firing Elizabeth, which we all know now isn't a hing, but anyway. It's got a sassy Elizabeth and a little Elizabeth/Henry fluff, which I am all about!

"Long hours wore away at her soul; as water can wear away the strongest of stones." He turned slowly away from her, and she felt like weeping. It seemed that everything was at work to separate them from one another.

An empire of two can still fall apart.

Post 2.22. Henry and Elizabeth's reunion where everything is angsty, and Elizabeth is drunk.

When the Diplomatic Security agent came into her office one evening with his gun drawn and a serious expression on his face, she thought it was an ill-timed security drill. Henry was waiting for her downstairs and she wanted to get home. Unfortunately, it wasn't a drill.

Elizabeth and Henry decide to take their first trip together.

SPOILERS for 2.22. Henry returns from Pakistan, and Elizabeth has waited long enough.

Henry comes home. Post 2x22.

An exploration of Henry's thoughts and choices surrounding recent events.

Post 2.21. I fixed it. Henry needed to get his act together, and Elizabeth needed a chance to break down. So I fixed it.

This is some minorly angsty fluff about the beginnings of Buttercup. Small amounts of suggestive flirting included for your viewing pleasure.

This is my take on events after 2x21, a little bit AU obviously. I'm on another McCord family dinner kick, so this is my response to all of that! Elizabeth attempts cooking, the kids find out where Henry is, Henry comes home, and there's also some fluff because it's so necessary - especially after this episode! Enjoy :)

Russell is late to a meeting so Elizabeth and Henry decide to have a little fun in his office.
