Addison 'Addie' Woods, has had a hard life, full of betrayal. A setback in her former career has left her scarred and untrusting, thinking of nothing but unattainable revenge and redemption, leaving her in a rut of her life, unable to move on or find real happiness.
But when an old enemy knocks on her door, correction- sends a helicopter- armed with a unique opportunity, everything changes.
Donald Ressler is a by-the-book, devoted, professional, almost cold FBI agent, who has also had his share of hurt, leaving him obsessed with one singular thing for several years.
Polar opposites, sure to collide, but they might just be what the other needs, to show them both that there is more to life, than a mission.
A mysterious spy, a bookish lawman, a distinguished veteran, an attractive intelligence asset, a humble genius, a clueless newbie, a conspiracy, a list of criminals, and a fugitive who brings it all together. What could possibly go wrong?
(To those who are new to this fan fiction, I do not own Blacklist or any of it's characters, the storyline will mostly follow that of the show, but not completely. Please keep in mind I am a procrastinator, so updated will not be regular but I will try to update at least once a week. To those returning, welcome back, love you all so much, and buckle up. This is gonna be a bumpy ride.)
She was never scared of heights.
Avery Woodsen has spent years clawing her way up the political ladder. She's fought and sacrificed to get where she is; she's more than ready to see the fruits of her labor. Finally, it's her chance to get one step closer to her dream - one step closer to D.C., a shiny city just waiting for her. Her time at the California Attorney General's office has come to an end.
She's sacrificed everything for this. She would sacrifice anything to keep it.
But when the attorney general seems to be targeted by a gun-wielding coward, Avery finds herself in the crosshairs. There's no manifesto to give her answers, and no suspect to question. Her ladder has collapsed. Will the security team sent from Greystone Security be enough to keep her safe? Will the trained, handsome man forced to be her protective shadow be able to keep her away from danger? Or will her desire to move up in her career have too strong of a pull?
Or is what's tugging her not her career at all, but Reed Sterling himself?
Trust no one. Except him.
