Summary
Throwback to my fellow Millennials- who remembers Alias?
Set in season 1 (pre-cannon for Sydney and Vaughn). I just did an Alias rewatch and needed to get a simple comfort fic out of my system before I return to writing my more, slow-burn, darker materials. I hope you enjoy reading this blast from the past as much as I enjoyed writing it.

Summary
After losing Elise, Hannah unexpectedly encounters Dean and finally abandons her professional persona to do what she needs to do most: grieve.
Takes place immediately after S10E3 (Trust Fall), after the final scene.
"Make me weep and you can make me cry
See me coming and you can pass me by
But honey, nothing, nothing
Can ever change this love I have for you"

Summary
After making the decision for her sister's hysterectomy, Hannah is wracked with misplaced guilt, leading to a serious accident. When Dean Archer insists she stay over to recover, they both realize she needs more than just physical healing.
Takes place after S10E18.
This will be Part 1 of a 2-part story, so stay tuned. It's also my first time writing a One Chicago show.
(Note from June 19, 2025: I noticed a few grammatical errors, which I fixed).

Summary
While recovering from being buried alive by Caleb, Lucy finds she can't sleep alone. So she calls the one person who understands trauma survived while in the line of duty. But Tim has concerns of his own and they extend far beyond Lucy's physical well-being.
A throwback fic that takes place after S2E11: Day of Death (pre-canon Chenford).

Summary
The missing scene from the end of S5E22 (Yes, THAT one)!
It's my take on what we didn't see, with a slight time divergence into more days because I felt the spacing would balance out the story a bit more.
Warning: Mentions past self-harm. Trust that it's worth the resolution.

Summary
When Reid's mother dies, he discovers he might not truly be as alone as he thought.
This is a Hurt and Comfort style piece that goes out to anyone suffering a recent loss, especially of a parent. It's also JJ mothering the hell out of Reid.

Summary
Devastated by the loss of Vincent, Bones first seeks comfort in Booth's bed and the roles between the rational and the emotional become blurred when they each get more than they bargained for.
My take on the supposed missing scene we never got after S6E22 ("The Hole in The Heart"). It's my first Bones fic, and six years after the show's ending, no less.

Summary
It's Jane and Lisbon's first time but Lisbon has doubts about her feelings towards Jane's unfinished business.
Short, sweet, and very emotional. Takes place right after S6E22 (Blue Bird).
-
Tags
Summary
When women are found dead of hypothermia and dumped in a funeral parlour, the case has a connection to a call Lisbon once responded to, making her a target. Takes place anywhere between seasons five and six. This is my first fic for The Mentalist.
EDIT (July 15, 2023): Some of my formats did not save correctly when I copied this- all is fixed now.

Tags
Summary
It's Tim and Lucy's first time together. When Lucy has a traumatic memory, the night doesn't unfold as Tim has hoped, so he uses it as an opportunity to show her that sometimes our scars remind us of more than just our pasts.
(Read: It's Tim kissing the DOD tattoo). You're welcome.

Summary
When JJ is drugged and assaulted by an Unsub, she calls on Reid for help. Faced with the daunting task of providing emotional comfort, Reid struggles against his hyperrationality, until the two find an unlikely- and extremely healing- solution.
**WARNING: This fic describes a sexual assault and its aftermath but offers a comforting journey (comfort fics are my specialty these days).**
My first time writing Criminal Minds. This technically takes place in Season 10 as I felt it fit best there, but can be seen as a slight canon-divergence as Derek Morgan still appears (briefly). Emily Prentiss is mentioned, but does NOT appear. This CAN be read as a stand-alone for any time, but assumes the arc with Reid in Mexico has not yet occurred.
I have posted the entire story here all at once, so enjoy.
EDIT for accidental re-typing of a paragraph and a typo.

Summary
Tim suffers a loss and isn't sure how to handle his emotions. He draws on Lucy's strength. A lot goes unsaid in this one but there's reading between the lines. Takes place right before Chenford becomes canon.
(Just a hurt and comfort type of fic. Also my first time writing The Rookie).

Summary
Jesse Rollins is kidnapped and it turns out family is more than just blood. Buckle up, it's going to be a very emotional ride.
It's also the first time I used chapters. Most of them are very short so the impact is felt.
EDIT: I had to edit some chapters due to spacing issues. All is now complete.
