Maddy should have gotten on that plane. She should have.

It's been two very long, very painful years. Maddy can't forget Archer, and she refuses to let his memory go. Another ARCHER'S NOT DEAD! Fic. This time, he is the one pursuing her.

Danny Archer told me to get on that plane. So I did, Danny Archer never told me not to come back. But I won't return to Africa. Not until I am good and ready.-Maddy Bowen. Maddy/Danny. rating subject to change.

What if meeting Archer had provided a different outcome for Maddy when she returned to America? Set post film.

'In another life' Danny Archer and Maddy Bowen might have stood a fighting chance. But what if they had that chance in this one? And what hurdles might Africa throw in their path?

RE-UPLOAD I've always wondered what went on after my favorite scene in Blood Diamond. Here's what I've always pictured.

What if Maddy managed to trace Archer's call and he's given a second chance? What if Maddy manages to save his life, as he's saved hers so many times? Where would that leave them? And where would that leave Africa? The ending we all wanted, but never got.

BLOOD DIAMOND "In another life, maybe," said Danny Archer to Maddy Bowen, although they both longed for an alternative. If circumstances had been different, perhaps the smuggler and the journalist could have had a chance to follow their hearts...

Tia Bowen travels to Africa in search of her father. Never mind that her mother has never told her who he is or if he is even still alive... Rated T for slight language.

Danny Archer and Cordell Brown don't get along too well anymore. Oneshot?

A final farwell to the world from Danny

Personally I thought that everyone who watched the movie was just a little too focused on what was going on on-screen between Danny Archer and Maddy Bowen. So this is for anyone who wondered what happened to Dia. One-shot.

I didn't really like the way the scene between Danny & Maddy ended when she took his hand so I rewrote the ending and added some stuff.

He was exactly where he was supposed to be. BLOOD DIAMOND ONESHOT
