Author's Note: This is a mixture of a lj 50 theme/1 sentence challenge. More are too come. Enjoy!
01. Book
Marion's ideal man was Mr. Darcy until Indiana Jones showed up on her doorstep.
02. Laugh
It was when she heard him laugh for the first time that she fell in love with him.
03. Pretty
Marion would always cherish the memory of Indy's reaction — the literally drop of his jaw — when he first saw her in a dress.
04. Study
Indy knows he should be reading about diffusionism for Abner's next class, but he is too busy watching Marion writing letter in the far corner of the room.
05. Natural
The first time they kissed — as the grad student and professor's daughter — it felt so natural that they wondered if that was what the universe had intended all along.
06. Sex
The first time hurts, but Indy is gentle and says he loves her, and slowly the pain begins to ebb away.
07. Lightning/Thunder
It was storming outside the first time they made love and later, Indy finds it ironic how much the storm fit their relationship.
08. Safe
It wasn't until after they started their affair that Indy started keeping a loaded gun on his nightstand.
09. Lies
Abner thought she was sleeping over at Susan's, when in reality she was sneaking into speakeasies with Indy.
10. Young
She was twelve years his junior, but age didn't seem to matter to either of them.
11. Name
It wasn't until dozens of kisses and two wonderful nights together that Indy finally told her that his real name was actually Henry.
12. Wrong
Being with her broke all of the rules, but in the end, it didn't seem to matter.
13. Drink
It was a well-known fact that Marion Ravenwood could drink anyone under the table, but it were the other things that she could do under that table that made Indy smile.
14. Wind
The Chicago wind, Indy soon discovered, had this nasty habit of slipping through his coat and making him shiver with cold; however, all was forgiven when Marion snuggled into his side because she was cold, too.
15. Sun
Clothes irritated the burns on their skin (earned from long hours in the Cairo sun), it didn't matter because they didn't need them anyway.
16. Duty
"Take care of my little girl, won't you Indy," Abner once asked him.
17. Defeat

19. Quiet
After their lovemaking, the only sounds in the room would be their even breathing and beats of their hearts.
20. Doors
The key to Indy's home weighed comfortably in Marion's hand.
21. Comfortable
When Marion had fallen asleep leaning on Indy's shoulder, Indy didn't mind that his left arm was numb, because she looked so peaceful.
22. Jealous
Marion couldn't help but notice the envious glares of the women at the gala as she crossed the room on Indy's arm.
23. Plain
Indy never told her, but he thought Marion looked more beautiful without make-up than with.
24. Red
Marion was too busy watching the sunset — the beautiful swirl of purples, reds, and oranges — to notice that Indy was watching her.
25. Whisper
She can't help but feel a surge of delight when Indy murmurs her name in his sleep.
26. Bias
He doesn't let her know that the reason autumn is his favorite season is because it was when he met her.
27. Candle
He couldn't seem to find the words to describe how her skin looks in candlelight, so he opts to show her, instead.
28. Wood
Marion seems just as mortified at the broken headboard, itself, as she does when she walks in on Indy recounting the story to a grinning and laughing Oxley.
29. Formal
Marion surprises even herself when she admits she prefers the leather jacket and baggy khakis to a tuxedo.
30. Birthday
She laughed when he told her that all he wanted for his birthday was her— she didn't realize he was being serious.
31. Now
"Indiana Jones, if you don't get me out of here this instant, I swear…"
32. History
Shepretends that it doesn't hurt when he postpones their date to study some new artifact.
33. Share

35. Hell
Hell was returning home with a wedding dress and finding a letter telling her he was gone.

40. Child
She almost names her son Indiana, but feels that it would be a bit too cruel.
41. Whiskey and Rum
It takes a pint of Jack Daniels for Indy to finally tell his father about the Ark, Marion, and the wedding that almost was.
42. Waves
He swears that it's the salt in the air that causes his eyes to sting and not the fact that the ocean water is the same color as her eyes.
43. Innocence
It wasn't until years after the event when Mutt would realize the real reason why his mother cried when he put on one of his father's (Colin's) hats — a formal brown fedora.

Heaven was being in her arms, for good, after all of these years.
50. Victory
Despite finding the Ark of the Covenant, Holy Grail, alien skulls, and everything in-between, Indiana Jones never found his fortune and glory until Marion Ravenwood said, 'I do'.
