I've changed this story up a little bit. Ch 2 is Vic's POV when it comes to Happy New Year, Walt and picks up just after Ch 7/8 of that story. Will update this based on HNYW so we can all find out what's going on in her head for a change as that story goes along. My own idea of Walt and Vic's first meeting is in Ch.2. Read on!

A little re-do of Happy New Year, Vic, from Walt's perspective. What REALLY happened on that long drive home? Longer, will be multiple chapters and will get an M rating later, so if you like it, follow or fave me so you'll be notified when I add to it. Hope you enjoy it and feel free to let me know. So far, the water's fine. Got both feet in:)

Vic gets lost in her head while looking at a photo.

Vic thought getting shot at was the worst thing to happen to her, but she was wrong.

An alternate take on the ending of S3 where Vic doesn't agree to stay on when asked, and in fact leaves for Philly not long after all hell breaks loose. Shortly after she collapses with a brain bleed (due to her two TBI) and has surgery. Except the Vic that wakes up isn't the same woman she was before...but things in Wyoming have also changed. Rated T for language

They're breathing through the pain in their hearts, as the rebirth carries them home. Two part collaboration between TheGodmother2 and rebelxxwaltz. Post S4, some spoilers. Walt/Vic.

Walt's thoughts during the opening scene of Harvest in season 3 and beyond. Oh my, what a scene! Spoilers if you haven't seen it. Multiple points of view from multiple characters. This story splits into two different directions at chapter 15 and then comes back together again at chapter 63. Follow option A or option B, or read both if you want to. Walt/Vic ship.

Truths and roses have thorns about them. Henry David Thoreau. This story picks up at the end of "Ashes to Ashes". Walt and Vic shipping.

As the dust settles, Vic moves forward. **Written and completed before Season 4.**

In the wake of Season Three, the entire Absaroka Sheriff's Department is reeling from the events of the past few months.

This takes place after Season 3. It will be a series of moments that strengthen the friendship between Walt and Vic. The chapters will alternate perspectives.

Begins about a year after S3E10, with references to books HiE and AtCF during a congenial evening at Walt's cabin, as Walt finally experiences Vic's Lasagna Rustica. This story explores the past 10 months before moving into the future. Walt and Vic contemplate career advancement, retirement, family and a permanent relationship.

From S3 E9 - Counting Coup. Walt's thoughts about receiving divorce papers to give to Vic and the missing scene that follows. Additional scenes may be added.

The line between fantasy and reality becomes somewhat blurred when Walt and Vic go undercover as a married couple. Post season 3, Walt/Vic. Now complete!

The development of Walt and Vic's relationship through conversations on Walt's front porch.

A little story for the holidays!

Set post Ashes to Ashes, Walt fights his way through the tail end of the emotional storm that was Season 3. Includes examining his relationships with Cady, Vic, Henry and the Longmire crew. Homage to Vickrok for her inspiration.

Walt finally gets his courage up but will he be too late for Vic?

Takes place a couple months after the Season 3 finale. Written from Vic's perspective as she struggles with her feelings for Walt. I own nothing, shoutout to Craig Johnson for creating these amazing characters.

Prequel to Long Live Longmire ...as told through a compilation of short stories of how Walt and Vic become a family.#LongLiveLongmire

The things that can happen when you aren't exoecting them.

An AU reworking of Walt and Vic's scene at the end of 'Harvest.' When Walt thinks his deputy is about to resign and walk out of his life, his overtaxed emotions get the better of him and he reacts. Walt/Vic. ;D

Has Vic misread the 'signals?

This takes place approximately a year after season 3 finale. An innocent conversation at the Red Pony leads to admissions of closely guarded feelings.

Walt, Vic and the Longmire family. Set in the future. Inspired to keep the best show on the air with another network. Tweet #LongLiveLongmire

Last night of performance events a the annual rodeo, closing events are the next day, and the evening does not go the way Walt expects. Who can blame him, no one expects to be ambushed!

Walt helps Vic move to her new place after Sean leaves town for good. Post season 3, Walt/Vic.

My take on how they became they and then a we. Don't own these wonderful characters created by Craig Johnson.
