With a groan, Ace dropped his phone back on the nightstand and buried his face in his pillows.

Road to Nowhere - Nancy Drew “Where to this time?" Masterpiece - Nancy Drew When Ace said he wanted to try something experimental, it gave Nancy pause. Bewildered - Nancy Drew “Thanks again for doing this,” he says apologetically. Interrogation Game(Ch20) - Nancy Drew Nancy had always preferred to work without a net.

Threading the Needle (4317 words) by LikesToSolveThePuzzle Chapters: 1/1 Fandom: Nancy Drew (TV 2019) Rating: Teen And Up Audiences Warnings: No Archive Warnings Apply Relationships: Ace/Nancy Drew Characters: Nancy Drew, Ace (Nancy Drew), Ned Nickerson, Bess (Mentioned), George (mentioned), Ryan (Mentioned), Tamura (Mentioned), Thom (Mentioned) Additional Tags: References to violence, Blood & Injury (Non-Graphic), Medical Care, Mafia AU, Clandestine Meet-Cute Summary: Ace held his breath, keeping a neutral expression. She wasn’t the first to show up at his door in the middle of the night looking like a wounded animal, but Bess didn’t summon him to work on innocent, docile creatures. Anyone who showed up looking for ‘the Coroner’ had brought their misfortune on themselves. Mafia AU - Nancy and Ace meet under very different circumstances. Happy HAND Serversary 2024- nicaraguaaa won a fic from me in the HAND Discord server and gave me an absolutely wonderful prompt for a 'mafia AU clandestine meet-cute' and I've had a great time playing with the very rich possibilities! This is just a brief glimpse into what could easily be a much larger world.

Happy Ao3 Anniversary to me!

Today marks my 3rd anniversary since I started posting to Ao3. This year I'm celebrating some of the work I've been most known for while showcasing some beautiful art made by @binancydrew. While the relationships I've built in the last three years have grown beyond the Nancy Drew fandom, I'm so happy we have such a dynamic and empowering hero to continue building our stories around.

Rules: you will be given a word. Then you share one sentence/excerpt from your wip(s) that starts with each letter of your word!

Thank you @honey-tea-and-lemon-trees for tagging me! Pulling from a few different WIPs: a one-shot that will be completed soon, a multi-chapter I've been chipping away at for quite some time, and one lovingly referred to as 'the death fic'.

Smirking behind her mask, the woman disappeared as suddenly as she had materialized and Nancy was left stumbling away from the wall dazed and confused.

Metal squeaked across linoleum as she fell heavy against the desk, slumping toward the floor.

It seemed all one needed was dim lighting and the illusion of anonymity to abandon any need for privacy.

Laura looked up at the dumbfounded crowd, glaring as she locked eyes with Ace and Tamura. 

Everyone was equal parts happy and relieved when she decided to follow in her father’s footsteps by pursuing medical school instead of her mother’s more atypical brand of mystery solving.

Once Upon a Curse (6474 words) by LikesToSolveThePuzzle Chapters: 1/1 Fandom: Nancy Drew (TV 2019) Rating: Teen And Up Audiences Warnings: No Archive Warnings Apply Relationships: Ace/Nancy Drew "So I slowed down her death curse… with another death curse.”   “Another WHAT?” Nancy shouted, clutching Ace’s hand in hers. “Bess, what do you mean another death curse?”   A different approach to the 4x03 curse break.

merry sleuthmas darling! 💙❄️ It was my absolute pleasure to write this fic for you, and I hope you enjoy it.

Over the years, the Drew Crew has been taking an annual trip to a log cabin in a snow-covered forest. This year, things start to go horribly wrong and Nancy is forced to address some long-standing feelings for Ace. This is, of course, accelerated by the fact that there's only one bed!!! . . . or; winter cabin au
