The road to true connection & love is rarely a smooth one. Sometimes the wounds you collect are deep. But one thing is for sure, it's always darkest before the dawn.

This is a series of short stories that will act as the epilogues to the Wedding Surprise series. It will follow the Thorntons and Grants. There will also be stories about the Coulters. Other characters from the past also appear. Come along with us as we see what happens with Nathan and Jack as they navigate married life

Set after S11, Nathan and Elizabeth are an established couple navigating their love along with every day life.

Jack Thornton moves to Hamilton just before he begins his senior year in high school in this modern day story. His father, Tom, begins work for a shipping tycoon, William Thatcher. Jack meets Elizabeth before school starts. Their first meeting didn't go well. Will this drive them apart or draw them together?

A rewrite of the season 10 finale, this is pro Lucas and Elizabeth where they end up happy together like should have. I hope to continue this story and rewrite what would have happened in my mind after with them! The only TW is that this contains grief and talk of a gun and getting shot.

For the Fall FanFic Fest, this two chapter story takes the Grant and Thornton families on their first family road trip, with just a couple of necessary conversations thrown in at the beginning to help Nathan and Elizabeth settle into their lives as a couple and as a blending family of four.

Elizabeth's got a new dress and Nathan likes it. A lot. Rated M for a reason. See Author's note for warnings.

Picks up after episode 10 of season 11 and may include some action from episode 11. The slow burn is coming to an end.

Outside forces, along with friends and family, seem to keep them apart, but in the end they learn they've always been in this thing together.

This is another Season 8 Nathan Grant introspection. When completed, it will cover Nathan's thoughts in key moments spanning episodes 8.3 and 8.4.

"Can you just try not to be such a Mountie? … just this once." Elizabeth made this request of Nathan because it's not just in his work that he's a thinker. We've regularly heard from Elizabeth's journal. In this story, Nathan, himself, explains how his own journal came to be.

Nathan and Elizabeth are finally running toward and embarking on their first unchaperoned date, though there is an unexpected hitch before their date begins. Elizabeth plans the evening, hoping to assure Nathan just how much she's loved him all along.
