Elizabeth Adams has never held public office before, so she needs smart people on her staff to help her out. That's why she hires Dr. Henry McCord as a political advisor. AU where Elizabeth and Henry meet in Season One of the show. Slow Burn, Romance, Hurt/Comfort, all the good stuff.

Elizabeth has been divorced for a year, and she's trying hard to move on from Henry. But when he almost dies in a dirty bomb attack, she's forced to confront feelings she thought she'd put to bed. Angst with a happy ending.

The minutes ticked by; forty, thirty, twenty minutes left. The TV was tuned to Times Square, Henry was topping off everyone's glasses, and Elizabeth was feeling hopeful. Until the fireworks started. Elizabeth's first NYE post-Iran does not go as expected. Title is from Burning the Old Year by Naomi Shihab Nye.

In the wake of Simon Bricker's departure, Cora and Robert seem to be returning to some old habits. When Robert realizes just what that means, he is horrified and desperate to fix things. An exploration of the S5 conflict, viewing the present through the lens of the past.
