Snapshots into the relationship between Elizabeth and Henry starting with their first meeting at UVA. This will look at various points in their relationship including their breakup and subsequent engagement, and deployment.

Set in S1E18, The Time is at Hand, during the doomsday cult crisis in Bolivia. This is an AU where everyone has a tattoo somewhere on their body that tells them the first words they'll hear their soulmate say. Elizabeth and Henry are soulmates, and they meet for the first time when she recruits him to help with the Covenant of John situation.

Elizabeth has met plenty of therapists..And she couldn't care less. But Henry was different. And this time, she cares a lot.

This takes place between Seasons 2 and 3 and is centered around an assassination attempt on Elizabeth in New York. I don't want to give too much away, but I promise that there is a ton of action and the story moves along at a good pace. It is not strict to cannon but it is not really A/U either. Please R and R and enjoy my first attempt at a Madam Secretary fan-fic!

A COLLECTION OF ELIZABETH AND HENRY'S FIRSTS

A one shot about how Elizabeth came to be known by different names.

A one shot based on a Tumblr prompt about a possible pregnancy scare.

"Secretary McCord, we invite you to join us. Come alone. You have one hour. Fail to show up and the first hostage will be shot." When the State Department is seized and her staff taken hostage, Elizabeth must risk everything in order to save them. But will she make it out alive? (Post S4.)

"I've got nothing to hide." A piece of Elizabeth's past resurfaces, and she's forced to confront memories long since buried. When perception is everything, will she find the strength to face her fears and open up to the nation, but more importantly, to her family?

"Just because she says nothing, it doesn't mean that she doesn't want to." It wasn't the first time that Elizabeth had been objectified, so why did this comedian's comments cut so deep? On birthdays and grief; respect and shifting attitudes; being more than just a girl and the importance of male allies.

Iran angst based on the prompt "The kids throw themselves at Elizabeth when she returns from Iran, and she can't hold back a loud cry of pain. (And she hadn't even wanted Henry to know about the extent of her injuries, never mind the kids)"

Tumblr prompt; "There's only one bed." A story taking place either before Henry and Elizabeth start dating or soon after. The first chapter is K rated, but I've rated it T in case I add a few more chapters.

People kept asking if she was ok. Was she? No. Explores Elizabeth's point of view on the dirty bomb aftermath.

Arabelle Marsh finds a strand of long, dark hair on the inside of her husband's suit. She doesn't think anything of it until she meets Nadine Tolliver for the first time.

Two best friends, a nosy roommate, and all the stars in the sky. (For the prompt "When Henry finally asked Elizabeth out on a date, she asked him what took him so long.")

Intruder in the State Department! Hazmat suits and a petrified Blake. It's up to Elizabeth to save the day.

It was never a matter of if Henry and Elizabeth would meet, but a matter of when. In this instance it's now rather than at UVA, but there's no denying fate. - back from hiatus

TITANIC AU. Elizabeth Adams is a well-to-do woman trapped in a failing marriage and a monotonous existence. What happens when she meets a poor but worldly writer on the Titanic's maiden voyage?

A lilacmermaid Tumblr prompt: Another spin on how H/E met. FLUFF **Making it through hiatus one short story at a time**

Henry and Elizabeth HATED each other during college. Now, years later, they find themselves back in the same room as SOS and a member of the DIA. A crisis brings them together, but will another tear them apart?

Anon prompt: Henry's sweatshirt turns up missing and when he finds it, it's on Elizabeth.

Tumblr prompt: Henry shows up unexpectedly at his parents' house in the middle of a school term.
