Summary
It's just simpler this way. A silent acceptance and unspoken agreement that their kiss never happened. It's been erased from their history. She pretends she doesn't remember. He pretends he doesn't care.
--
Commences four months after 4.12. Carrie is still with the CIA. Quinn is still in Syria, presumably. Curiosity gets the better of her.COMPLETE

Summary
The ultimatum comes crashing down like a guillotine. Brutal, bloody, shocking. And Quinn's head rolls around, dizzy, disoriented. He didn't see it coming, though she tells him he should have.
--
Aspects of S4 and the two years leading up to S5 re-imagined and newly imagined in semi one-shots. Drifts in and out of canon. Slow burn. An eventual (eventual) happy ending. Continues the same alternate universe of this Series, in which C/Q hooked up one time, prior to 401.-COMPLETE-

Summary
He remembers the feeling of her lips against his forehead, lingering just a moment. The considered decision to keep his eyes shut, even though he was wide awake. Then the sound of her footsteps, a door opening, closing.
--
A final pre-401 gap-filler, a continuation of the series. Spans a period of months. Alternate canon, with a (rather significant) canon divergence…- COMPLETE -

Summary
Heat, nerves, a tide of emotion. He's like a slice of home. There's an overwhelming desire to run and hug him that, of course, she doesn't act upon. And a sudden pang of sadness that he never called after the baby was born.

Set pre-401. A story of how Carrie ends up in Kabul instead of Istanbul, and about an induction trip to meet with Bachman in Islamabad. From Quinn's POV then Carrie's POV. Again, liberties taken, not intended to be canon-compliant. Stand alone one-shot, but roughly written as a follow-up to an earlier fic, which I have now linked as a series.Series

Summary
"Feel this?" he cries, grabbing her hand and bringing it up to the middle of his chest. "I'm alive."
His eyes bore into hers, his body shaking. She can feel the strong thudding of his heart against her hand.

A one-shot loosely set around or post 312 'The Star' and associated plot points, late in Carrie's pregnancy and as she plans to takes up the role of station chief in Istanbul. From Carrie's POV, then Quinn's POV. I have taken liberties here, not intended to be canon-compliant.Series
