A retelling of Major Crimes where Rusty is a girl. This story explores how things might be different, and what effect a female Rusty might have on Sharon's life. Shandy will happen down the line but the focus is on Sharon and Rusty, at least for the first two seasons.

Chapter 18: A look at how present-day Shandy is adapting to being quarantined (no one's sick,everyone's alive, Andy is a toilet paper panic buyer). For A Better Ending (fix-it fic from right after the event that didn't happen where Sharon faked her death) fans, this includes a conversation about that ending. Prompt for "Can we stay like this forever."

Sharon’s not sure what to think when Andy brings home an insanely large Christmas tree. Tumblr prompt for “ugh, I’ve caught a cold.” Contains a flashback to a mistletoe kiss after the events of Chain Reaction.

Christmas 2019 in the (all-healthy) Flynn household. Andy dresses up as Santa for a Christmas party, and Emily's five-year-old sees him kissing Sharon and gets the wrong idea.

On December 19, 2019, the very ALIVE Sharon spends a little time with friends and lots of cuddle time with Andy, because it's just another day to enjoy Christmas and not the aniversary of anything. Also a tumblr prompt request for "I need another blanket."

Thanksgiving 2019. Also a Tumblr prompt request for “Come sit by the fireplace with me.”

Halloween 2019 in the Flynn household, because of course Sharon is alive and well—really late, sorry about that!

Chapter 2: The Flynns celebrate the 4th of July.

Chapter 34: December 2018. Sharon's enjoying her first Christmas season being retired and having time to appreciate it.

Sharon receives a surprising and meaningful gift on Mothers' Day.

"Sharon Raydor is alive" contribution and response to prompt "for the love of god, would you put on some pants?" On December 19, 2017, Sharon gets angry about a nonsensical character death on Badge of Justice. Andy "calms her nerves" the best way he knows how. Emily and Ricky surprise her and come home early for Christmas.

A couple of weeks before Christmas, a virus invades the house. Shameless fluff. Shandy and a little mothership.

Sharon and Andy dress as Sandy and Danny from Grease for a neighbor's Halloween party. Their dialogue about the costumes grosses out Emily and Rusty. There's also a Hocus Pocus viewing and a snippet about the picture that was posted in the MC fb group this morning with Sharon's, Andy's, and Provenza's heads photoshopped into the faces of the witch, flying monkey, and crystal ball.

Sharon and Andy fall into a relationship during The Closer. Chapters are updated out of order, and I apologize - I didn't expect this to keep going after the initial prompt, but...fanfic does what fanfic will. For those of you that have read the story up to this point, the new chapter is ch. 2.

The Flynn kids start to vacate the nest while their parents deal with the impact of a new squad at work. Starting with the Closer and working our way through to Major Crimes. [Sequel to Momentum, Two to Tango, Die with You, and Heat of the Moment]

Rusty lets out a relieved breath as the baby takes the formula, thankful for some peace and quiet. He watches Sharon, a happy smile on her face, mumbling words he couldn't hear. It made him wonder what it would've been like to grow up with her for a mother.

Decided to fill the Major Crimes hiatus by starting a rewatch with Sharon's first episode from the Closer. To say the least, given the current state of things, my mind went somewhere completely different from the first viewing... A bit of an episode tag to Season 5 Episode 7 Strike Three

[Raydor/Flynn] The "fix it" fic that I promised. Let's just pretend the last seven episodes never happened. How do you survive when life suddenly begins to fade toward nothing?

A Shandy one shot crack fic that invloves fun and produce. Betad by lolcat76

Because Duff and co pissed everyone off, I decided to help them out a little bit. There's no actual character death, although that's what most characters believe at the moment. It's a few chapters of family memories and some grieving before the "better ending" part comes in.

Sharon has a weird dream, and her cryptic sleep-talking leads Andy to some wrong conclusions. Also addresses a tweet from a few weeks ago of a still-shot of Sharon’s room that points out a jar of vaseline on her nightstand, as some middle-of-the-night “closeness” takes place after the dream.

[Spoilers from 5x14] Rusty has just about had it with life and it's becoming difficult for Sharon to tell him otherwise, especially since everything is finally going well for the both of them. She tries to support him but who says she doesn't need someone to support her? Shandy x Rusty/Sharon child-parent relationship.

10 years ago he crashed into her - and they hadn't stopped moving since. Snapshots of a life in motion. [Sequel to Two to Tango, Die with You, and Heat of the Moment]

[Raydor/Flynn] Alternate Universe - Reality came at them like a storm, sweeping across the shore. Looking back, they were only fools, living on the edge of a dream. It is during endings that we reflect on beginnings.

Three years into their marriage, Sharon and Andy are finding that it still takes two to tango through life. [Sequel to Die with You and Heat of the Moment]

When bad luck turns into good luck.

Five years, and a load of turmoil later, Sharon and Andy are finally on the same wavelength and embarking on a new relationship together. [Sequel to The Heat of the Moment]

An alternate scene of Rusty officially telling Sharon that he's gay.

A baby is discovered at a crime scene where both parents were killed, and they have no other family willing to take the baby, so Sharon takes her in.

One-shot. Sharon adopted Rusty as a five-year-old, not a teenager.

Sharon gets sick, which calls for a few days on the couch watching Christmas Movies.

Rusty gets his tonsils out, and Ricky is jealous. I recently turned one of my friends on to Major Crimes, and she's getting her tonsils out later this week, so she asked for some reading material. Maybe I'll stop torturing Rusty for a while after this...or maybe not :)

The first time Rusty gets sick

Alternate scenes for Season Two, Episode Seven. Rusty actually gets sick after pretending to be sick.
