All of the following stories should be considered Adult at the least because of language and subject matter. Those containing graphic sexual content are marked NC-17.
Seven Car Pileup
The First Time
Lie Down in Joy
The Physics of Hydroplaning
Hello? Crazy Stopped By
The ones that started it all. Hilarity, sex, angst, first times, leading eventually to a proposal and wedding. While most of my M/M stories are freestanding, this is a 'linear' series with the same muses. NC-17

First encounter partnership fiction.

Fracture
Endcap scene to “To Serge With Love.” After Mary discovers her sister with her boyfriend, she takes her brutalized feelings to Marshall. NC-17

I’m Okay; You’re Okay
Endcap scene after “Stan By Me” after Marshall drives Mary home after her kidnapping and near rape.

Number 84
Mary and Marshall attempt to recover a witness who has fled into a deadly mine. Extended drabble, by fandom request. Partnership fiction, high drama.
We Do What We’re Told
The only point to this one was that the muses wanted to be in a car chase. *g* Mary and Marshall partnership, banter.
Mandelbrot
Marshall being a nerd and driving Mary crazy. Nothing unusual. Plan on your head exploding right along with hers. Complicated math warning!
The Weary World, Rejoicing
Half-frozen Mary thrown in with Marshall and a hot bath. First time, NC-17
Annotations From the Exotic Animal Specialist
Prelude to “Trojan Horst,” exploring the probable causes that would drive Marshall into leaving the U.S. Marshals. Nothing nice here.
Santa Baby
Two X-rated Christmas ornaments instigate a Christmas tradition between Mary and Marshall. Splort warnings, abuse of Christmas carols, first time, NC-17
The Road Not Taken
Strong hanky warnings for this treatment of how things might have gone differently following one pivotal moment during “Trojan Horst.” Anguish, character death, and I’m glad it’s out of my head, warnings! NC-17
For I Have Stolen the Moon and Must Be Made to Pay For It
AU fic involving vampires. Yes, you read that correctly. Mary copes with the revelation that Marshall is half-vampire and the implications for their partnership and growing intimacy. Long, plotty, and hotter than the fifth ring of hell. Would I kid you? Have iced tea! NC-17
Not Dead, Fred
Transition story set immediately after “Trojan Horst.” Fandom request. Partnership fiction
Will the Real Mr. Ponzi, Please Stand Up?
Strange little current event piece that Marshall wouldn’t leave me alone about. Bernard Madoff scandle. Partnership fiction

Endcap scene from “Gilted Lily” as Mary copes with her situational stress anxiety. Mary can always count on one man during a crisis. Partnership fiction
Twenty-Nine Julys or More
A look at Mary and Marshall through 29+ years of togetherness. I always have a quiet kind of joy about this one. NC-17
Undertow
When Mary’s life is put in jeopardy, just how far will Marshall stray across legal lines in order to save her? Partnership fiction
The Anatomy and Psychology of Partners
Endcap scene after season two’s “Rubble With A Cause.” After Mary has spent a day half-buried in the rubble of a building protecting her witness, Stan takes his two best Inspectors aside for some debriefing … but he knows their best debriefing is with each other. Partnership fiction

‘Tis the Season For Re-gifting
Answers the question about what would Mary give Marshall for Christmas since she doesn’t ‘do’ the gifting thing. New partnership fiction
Clutter
Witness protection in action. Challenge words needed in the story: clutter, not my lover, just your imagination, and righting your wrongs. Established relationship, sort of, NC-17
Let He Who Is Without Sin
Set in season one during and after “Good Cop, Dead Cop” when Mary slept with her protected witness, Robert Epps. Inspired by conversation on the LJ board: That’s My Girl in “Episode Obession” for the same episode. First time, NC-17
We’re In UR Audience, Talkin’ Smack!
Mary discovers that entertainment at boring law enforcement conferences come standard with Marshall. Warning:Netspeak, lolcat, and exclamation mark abuse. You will consider killing me for this one. ~runs~
Friend of the Devil
An exploration of Marshall getting through Mary’s barriers to first becoming her friend, then something more, based on a comment in a “Trojan Horst” discussion. I set Mary and Marshall somewhere in their late 20’s in this story. New partnership fiction, first time, NC-17

Monster

The Wild Bunch Versus The Mafia
Marshall’s witness gets into the gun sights of the Mafia when he goes to trial. Partnership fiction
Scrimshaw
An intense sizzling fiction wherein Mary and Marshall track down the Scrimshaw Killer. Mary and Marshall have a 'partners with benefits' type of history. NC-17.
One of Six Definitions of Static
Story set in season one, before the Mary and Raphael incidents of season two. In my mind, this is how it really is. Bonus points for using the word “gawkily,” although abuse of paperclips likely negates that. Partnership fiction
The Law of Tangents
The short version: Mary in trouble = Marshall to the rescue. Long version: A response to flesh out a concept mentioned in "The Weary World, Rejoicing" about the Jeremy Barrett incident that nearly cost Mary her badge, and me wanting Marshall to get pissed off at Mary's sexual proclivities. Canon alteration: Jinx and Brandi are not living with Mary. This story has a bit of RARR in it. You're warned. Partnership fiction
Damaged, At Best
Marshall and Mary join a statewide manhunt to bring a child rapist to justice, nearly losing themselves in the process. Words required to be utilized in the story: play along, trivia, ten-dollar bill, angel. Mary and Marshall are occasional lovers; not full 'friends with benefits' but they have slept with each other off and on. Warnings: Disturbing content, slightly non-consensual. The subject is distressing and everyone involved endures psychological bruising dealing with it, including me. I had no idea when starting this that it would stray so far out of my comfort zone for writing. Ordinarily, this would NOT be a fiction I would share with other fans, yet you guys have followed my stories and trusted my ability to sling these two through horrible situations and get them out the other side. This is disturbing and raw… yet still Mary and Marshall, coping with evil, negotiating their way through it and, ultimately, bringing each other back home again. NC-17
Three Uses For a Sports Car
Humor, asset forfeiture, hot sports cars, a beat down, Mary being a scrappy little varmint, and Marshall running through a meadow of flowers. (Close your mouths before a fly buzzes in there.) Story built around a phrase I liked and that was the only point of the story. That is all. Beginning romance
Dry Bones Dance
Spoilers for 2x11 – Jailbait, where Mary inexplicably decided to marry Raphael at the 'pretend we're engaged to make my mom happy' dinner. Endcap scene after the episode: Mary takes the leftover bones to Marshall and tries to untangle herself. This is every bit as messy as the episode. Inaccurate pronunciation of names warning. Partnership fiction+
When In Rome…
Rated: N for Naughty. I for insane. YD for You Didn't! R for Ruh Roe and NC-17 for No Cameras in area 17. (srz. Zexx in here! You youngun's go away!) Please put down your drinks and move your foodstuff away from the computer, because Mary and Marshall are goin' to a toga party! First time, NC-17.
“Will you walk into my parlor?” said the Spider to the Fly
A Mary and Marshall road trip fic based off a quote by Fred Weller. (You like my road trip fics, right?) TOO LATE! I enjoyed this one by how swift, snarky, and action-y it was. Features the term skankwhoreMary requested LA (Long Ago) Partnership fiction
Gamblers Anonymous
Set in Season one, based on the episode "High Priced Spread" wherein Mary comes face to face with the whole gambling thing and Dana. Features jealous!Mary putting the hammer down. Harsh, gritty and sideways. Do not sue me if your monitor catches fire. Notable quote by Snerkyone. First time, NC-17
Something New To Break My Heart
The climactic photo of Marshall in "Don't Cry For Me, Albuquerque" was the impetus for this story. The challenge was to write a story around the photo prior to the episode actually airing—so this is non-canonical. Warning: Character death, but not our heroes. This one will give you the wibbles and it does not resolve in the end. Plan on having the wibbles. Drama, anguish, partnership fiction
Anywhere But Nineveh
Marshall gets auctioned to the highest bidder at a fundraiser and guess who buys him? And why is the rum gone? (Scratch that last bit.) This one is rated ONSD: Oh No She Didn't?! Please put on your safety glasses and hardhat before reading. Canon alteration: Jinx and Brandi are not living with Mary. First time, NC-17
Don’t Close Your Eyes
Federal Judge security. Marshall is to blame for the bees. Partnership fiction
The Hole in the Sun
Set in Season One springboarding off of "A Fine Meth." This story explores the fallout from Brandi bringing drugs into Mary's house. This is wicked bad as well as wicked good and left me saying, "O hellyah!" when it was done. First time, NC-17
Who We’ve Become
Set 3 1/2 years before season one. A lazy little meandering piece with no plot except to show the development of the partnership.
And I Can't Walk the Centerline
Set in the messy sprawl between season one and two, just before Jinx goes to rehab. We've seen what becomes of Mary after she is forced to shoot someone. This is what I got when I dropped Marshall into the same stressor. Warnings for Grit Your Teeth Intensity—this gets ugly before it gets better. First time, NC-17
White Lightning and Gunpowder
Short story based on four lines out of "Cauldron." Partnership fiction
