Henry gets a phone call from Elizabeth and quickly realizes something is wrong.

October 2007 - Henry and Elizabeth are professors at UVA, enjoying life in the private sector, though not always easy. Though they work in the private sector now, their private lives haven't gotten any easier.

Elizabeth is announced Killed In Action during her tour of duty in Iraq in 2004. But, is that what truly happened? Soon enough, Henry will find out that no it isn't. An expanded version of The People Left Behind.

Recovery takes time. Takes place after "In The End."

Elizabeth Adams is in Virginia Beach for Spring Break 1989 when she receives a call that her brother, Will, has been in a terrible accident. With her trauma from the last accident that took her parents, she needs some assistance getting through these more-than-difficult moments. That's when a practical stranger, a fellow UVA sophomore, Henry McCord, lends her a helping hand.

It was almost like a meditative state of mind - relinquishing control. It was all part of the game: the preparation and the aftermath were as important as what happened in between, she knew this and Henry knew it too.

Series of one-shots of the McCords.

What happens when the buried past comes back to haunt us? How does one begin to process the trauma of old secrets? Henry and Elizabeth are about to find out.

Elizabeth Adams had thought it would be safe to assume she wouldn't run into her ex at Langley, let alone find herself married to him by the end of the working day, but that wasn't the first time she'd been wrong when it came to matters relating to Henry McCord. [Based on 'Gorgeous' by Taylor Swift (as requested on Tumblr) and the Moscow Rules.] ALSO ON AO3.

Madeline McCord's life was but a dream when things take a turn for the worst. All she had ever known is ripped away from her cruelly at the hands of her abductor. Can she find strength to hold on to hope that one day she might make it back to her family? Can the McCords survive the tragedy that severed life as they knew it? Even if they could, would they ever be the same again?

[pre-Madam Secretary] Elizabeth McCord has just taken a full-time job at UVA as a political science professor after leaving the CIA and moving their family out to a horse farm near Charlottesville. While she teaches a seminar on the September 11th attacks, she's forced to grapple with her past in ways that she had not expected in academia.

These will be one shot scenes that I cant get out of my head

Exactly what the title says ;)

"It's called a fascinator," Elizabeth tells him.

"I was thinking," he says. It isn't untrue. His sex life isn't only his. It's also hers. And he finds that most people are a little too interested in wanting to know about her in bed. He finds himself, more and more, trying to shield her from that fact. "About how we did have more sex before the election?" She questions. It's a very sappy scene extension.

In which Henry is jealous. [One-shot based on a prompt requested on Tumblr.]

Two months into Elizabeth's tenure as Secretary of State, he'd realized that her assistant would be the ultimate gatekeeper of access to his wife. He never would have imagined that Blake would shelter her from him too… (AU, set in season 2, around the whole Dmitri drama).

[alternate storyline] Elizabeth is just settling into her new role as Secretary of State and trying to dodge all the hardships that are coming at her-the loss of her friend George, the possible CIA involvement in that death, and so much more. The stress is already starting to get to her, and Henry is worried for her health.

"Your first Act as President could be to shoot down Air Force One." What if the season two opener took a different path? How would Elizabeth cope? What would become of US? What would become of the world? How does one rise up and lead through a crisis?

With 2024 rolling in, the McCords are back on the campaign trail, this time for a re-election. Between the pressure, the stress of leading, and the being away, certain pieces of their lives begin to crumble underneath that weight. [Inspired by Billy Joel's new song "Turn the Lights Back On"]

[Pre-Madam Secretary] Henry gets home from flight simulations one day to find Elizabeth painting her office in their little apartment.

Set during Season 3. In which the Stalker has a better way of getting his message across. With Jason McCord alone in the house the night the security goes haywire it's easy to take him, beat him half to death and leave him alone in the dark. Or another Hurt Jason! Fic. NOW COMPLETE

An AU about AUs. President Elizabeth McCord is on the brink of divorce, when she finds a strange tablet and an even stranger app. With the promise it will show her the lives she could have led, will the app reassure her divorce is the right decision, or will it be just what she needs to save her marriage before it's too late?
