Multi-Chapter fics: canon compliant when posted
With a Little Help From Their Friends
When Chris's policy against interoffice dating comes between Leslie and Ben, they turn to their friends for help. With persistence and creativity, they just might find a way to make things work. Canon compliant through "Soulmates" (S3). Leslie/Ben and ensemble
Mistakes You Can Live With
As Leslie gets caught up in the excitement of planning a political campaign, the people who care about her the most worry that she's letting William Barnes and his clique change her for the worse. Canon compliant through "Little Sebastian" (S3). Leslie/Ben, Marlene, ensemble.
How Ben Wyatt Quits the Government and Finds Himself
He's already given up his career and ambitions for a shot at the woman of his dreams, only to be dumped by that same woman after just two months for the sake of her career and her ambitions. What else does he have to lose? What the hell-he'll take the job with Entertainment 720. Canon compliant through "Little Sebastian," (S3). Ben, Tom, OCs, ensemble, Ben/Leslie.
Here Kitty
"After dark he is still master of night. But by day he finds that he is happy to be April's cat." The story of Orin and his friendship with April. Rated R. Only part 1 is posted but I swear I will finish this (as of 8/18/12).
AU Fics
Three Weeks and Three Days to Change Your Life
On the first day of the Harvest Festival, an unexpected conversation about her relationship with Ben causes Leslie to start thinking of him in a whole new way. An AU re-telling of "Harvest Festival"-"Fancy Party." Leslie/Ben, ensemble. WIP.
Force of Habit
Leslie discovers that being in love isn't a habit she can break. Post "I am Leslie Knope". For a ficathon. An AU take on the break-up aftermath, post-"I am Leslie Knope." Leslie/Ben, Ann.
Witness Protection
When corporate whistleblowers Ben Adams and Chris Robinson barely escape an attempt on their lives, they gladly accept the protection of the Federal Witness Protection program. What they don't count on is being sent to a city that feels more like something out of a movie or a sitcom than real life: Pawnee Indiana. An AU starting in "Master Plan." Ben/Leslie, Chris/Ann, Andy/April, ensemble. WIP.
Five Christmases (And Some of the Times In Between)
What the title says. An AU in which Ben and Leslie first meet on Christmas Eve, 3 and 1/2 years before Ben is assigned to audit Pawnee City Government. For the 2011 Leslie/Ben Holiday Fest, in response to a prompt requesting a pre-series Christmas hook-up right after one of Leslie's breakups.
One-shots
Decision Time
Leslie thought she'd made her mind up about Ben--twice--but really she's still not sure; and now, (stupid, stupid, stupid!) she's only given herself one more hour to make her decision. She really needs to call Ann. Canon compliant. Leslie/Ben, Ann.
Solving the Leslie Problem
Ben is a problem solver by nature-he likes to take charge and make the tough decisions. So why can't he seem to find a solution to the Leslie problem? A companion piece to my Leslie-pov story, Decision Time. Set starting in "The Fight" through the morning after "Road Trip." Canon-compliant. Leslie/Ben.
Park Closed
Leslie and Ron close the parks. Canon-compliant. Leslie/Pawnee, Ron.
Someday
Leslie and Ben contemplate the possibilities of "Someday." Canon-compliant through 4.06, "The End of the World." Leslie/Ben.
Tonight and Tomorrow
After an encounter in the new park, one story ends and another begins. Canon-compliant through 4.08, "The Smallest Park." Warning: explicit sexual material. Leslie/Ben.
Of Twain, Trousers, Trick-or-Treaters and Trousers
The very good reason why Leslie never thought Ben's "clay-mache" obsession was a sign of depression. Canon compliant through 4.11, "The Comeback Kid."
Sabbatical
Leslie is worried about the Parks Department while she's on sabbatical. Ben tries to help her relax. Smutty fluff ensues. Rated R. Spoilers through "Sweet 16".
It's Home
Ben Wyatt thinks he knows what he wants to do with the rest of his life, but first he's taking one last leap into the great unknown-just to be sure. My Ben-in-Washington fic written shortly after "Win, Lose or Draw" aired.
In The Quiet of the Moment
He's going to get fired for this. Post-Smallest Park.
Paying a Debt
Though most of her government positions also violate everything he believes in, this once he thinks he'll let it slide. During Citizen Knope. Ron and ensemble.
