"I've retraced my steps, and turned back the clock fifteen times the past fifteen days to the night of the day we met, wishing I could find you here. There's this loud screaming in my head telling me that I must let go of you, but how can I? I cannot seem to be rid of you, no matter how desperately I want to." Based on Ben&Ben's Hummingbird.

A series of one-shots about Georg and Maria's relationship based on the song "Maybe I'm Amazed" by Paul McCartney.

In a kingdom consumed by darkness and ravaged by war, an orphan is brought before the General. He is powerful, he is dark, he is terrifying. She is awkward. She is plain. She is not particularly good at following instruction. But he sees her. She is more. She could be his equal. His salvation. [A Shadow and Bone inspired TSOM story, one-shot.]

Neither had known when or how it happened, nor did they know where to go from here. All they knew was that something had taken root between the two of them, and they now found themselves utterly and entirely covered in it.

Little moments. Little touches. Her heart speeds up. He proposes. But he has—not even once—said those words. How will she ever know? A/U based on an excerpt from Birdy's All You Never Say.

America, 1950. Georg is on the train during a storm, and he cannot wait to get back home. To them. To her. Based on an excerpt from ABBA's Super Trouper.

This is a short story I wrote in response to a request on the great Sound-of-Music-fics forum, musing on what might have happened if Maria had not returned to the Abbey...

"Fraulein, I think it's clear by now you can't help but attract my attention, and I can't help but notice you." She gave him a sad little smile. "The trouble is Captain, I don't want to be noticed by people like you." [A/U]

"Hoarders," she whispered under her breath as she scanned the barcodes of the mountain of items before her. She almost rolled her eyes – there were many things she could tolerate, but she just didn't understand hoarders. "Apparently, catering for the needs of seven children make me appear like a hoarder," he visibly rolled his eyes. Seven children? Quarantine Modern A/U!

After the rowboat tipped, everything changed between Maria and the Captain. Something strong kept pulling them together, even though they refused to fall in love.
