Summary
Mackenzie and Will meet but it is a while before a relationship takes off. Will has issues to address, they live in different cities, career and commitment decisions need to be made. The usual cast of supporting characters contributes complications. Some criminal intrigue, a bit of entomology, psychology and theology around the edges. AU in mostly canon familiar or canon adjacent settings.

Summary
AU that begins in the space after the confrontation between Will and Mac in the hair and makeup room on election night. Mac leaves. This story picks up there and follows what happens once she walks out for good. The title is, of course, from the song by Paul Simon.
If you have not started this yet, read the prequel, The Power of Goodbye first. If you have already started this, read the prequel to fill in gaps. It would have helped if I had written the prequel first, but it didn’t happen that way. Life isn’t a straight line sometimes, or ever. -

Summary
“Heads up,” Jim calls out, oblivious to the five pairs of eyes now trained on him as he gets up from the conference table and heads back out into the newsroom.
“All hands!” Mac yells, counting heads of who’s already in on a Saturday as she rounds the corner of a desk and moves to the middle of the room. “There’s been a shooting in Rosslyn, Virginia and—the President’s been shot.”
