"And why do you stare at me that way?" "I can't help but think, sir—" "Yes?" "We've met before." The Captain was no stranger, Maria discovered some time after being sent to the von Trapp household as a teacher and governess for the summer. No, she and the Captain were not strangers at all. (AU, main body of the story begins in 1933.)

For fifteen years, she had a job and not one raise in pay. Now she's in the typing pool at minimum wage. (Inspired by 1990s hit songs by Mary Chapin Carpenter.)  Brigitta's failing marriage and her controversial decision is the backdrop for exposing a secret Maria has kept for years.

They let each other go once…they would never make that mistake again.

Maria Rainier is a sensible girl. The practical type, who's learned to rely on no one except herself. But just when her carefully constructed life begins to fall apart, she crosses paths with a mysterious sea captain, and things start to change in unexpected ways. "One day you finally knew what you had to do ... and there was a new voice, which you slowly recognized as your own."

Gretl has a month to write a note for Maria and Georg on what she wants for her birthday. She didn’t even hesitate and immediately wrote something down. Please R&R

A story about love inspired by open doors in the movie. "To love is to battle, to open doors. The world changes if two can look at each other and see" - Octavio Paz

This is a sequel to Moments of Truth which details the von Trapp's escape from Austria after the Anschluss. You will likely be pretty lost unless you read Moments of Truth first, so I highly recommend it.

What if Georg gets shot by Rolf? Short fic, a bit sad. I hope you enjoy!

Georg and Maria alternate ending fic set after the gazebo scene. Plot twists and possible fluff/smut.

A series of one-shots set in the Moments of Truth universe. Most will likely occur between the end of Moments of Truth and the Anschluss (which I already plan to write as a sequel). It will help greatly if you read Moments of Truth before them though you can probably understand some of them without it. There will be a little bit of everything- family, action, romance, etc.

A very A/U take on how the von Trapps (including Maria) become a family. It includes many of the elements of Sound of Music but put together in an entirely new way that is hopefully, enjoyable. This will mostly focus on the relationship development between the characters, but there will be some action/adventure as well for those of you who enjoy that.

Another way things could have played out that fateful night

In late WWI in the naval port of Pola, The Lonely Goatherd is a seedy tavern run by the elegant Baroness. Here, Maria meets the mysterious and intriguing Captain von Trapp. An AU story that flips the original TSOM on its head. Bits of drama mixed in with some snarky humour. A little different, but please give it a chance. Please R&R!

How many times have we hoped for the best, only for the worst to happen? Sometimes, it's hard to believe the sun will ever come out again...

Her mind began to swirl with vague fragments from the Song of Solomon, memories of her trembling fingers tracing over the tissue-thin pages of her Bible. Her fingertips no longer had to trace those passages in the dark of her quarters; now they were encouraged instead to trace the very bare skin of her own lover. / Written for Haze-of-Winter

'The twelfth in a long line of governesses' - how do the children feel about that?

Perhaps it would be easier to tell you, short and simple. But as simple as that sounds, it's not simple at all. There is so much I want to say to you, and words are never enough. Paper is never enough. Ink is never enough to tell you all I want to say. But I've carefully chosen my words. I could only hope that you believe me. / A collection of random 200-word drabbles!

A series of vignettes prompted by some gorgeous words with equally as lovely definitions. I apologise for the somewhat lame title and description. I do not own anything regarding The Sound of Music, unfortunately.

A/U: Maria comes to the von Trapp villa much earlier than in the movie though she finds a similar situation-a grieving retired naval captain who is neglecting his seven children. As in the movie, she helps them all find each other again but there is still something else the Captain is hiding, and it has the potential to endanger them all.

Series of one-shots. Not quite sure which way this will head, but presumably mostly father-child bonds. Takes place before, during and after the movie.

Maria wants to be intimate with Georg, Georg wants to be intimate with Maria. Will they ever cross that final boundary or will the past continue to haunt them? Rated M

When Pearl Harbor is attwcked, the family must navigate some very strong, yet differing emotions.

Things get complicated when the von Trapps try to escape

Georg marvels at Maria after the birth of their third child. One-shot!

An alternate universe story about how the Captain and Maria could have gotten together if he didn't seek her out at the gazebo.
