    Summary

    Hathaway is heartbroken by the way Lewis has got together with Hobson, with not a word or him, an explanation of even an apology. He can’t bear it.

    But did he jump or was he pushed?

    This is Hathaway’s last crime he has to solve. His own possible murder.

    Spoilers for the whole of season seven, The Mind has Mountains, The Dead of Winter, The Point of Vanishing, Life Born of Fire and possibly other little titbits I can’t remember now in the text.

    I’ve not tagged this as Midsomer Murders so not to disappoint the Midsomer fans; as the characters are quite definitely guest starring in the Lewis ’verse.

    Summary

    Centripetal by Mazarin221b read aloud.

    Author's Summary: James' life spirals out of control after the events of Life Born of Fire, a downward trajectory so steep and so sudden Lewis finally has to intervene.

     

    “No time for hangovers, Sergeant,” Lewis says, and gives him a look that’s almost worried, almost fond, but never quite as much as James would hope for. Almost—the story of his life, isn’t it? Always falling just a tiny bit short. Almost cared for, almost chosen, almost loved.

     

    Last night, though. Last night was a jolt straight to the heart. Wanted, desired, touched. A kindled flame in his chest keeping him warm, rose-red and quietly his own. Another one-night stand, sure, but one he chose.

    Summary

    There is absolutely no way James Hathaway is an omega.

    Unless he is.

    (Or: in which James has a secret and Robbie finds out about it, because James is actually surprisingly bad at keeping secrets from his boss - and all events do conspire against him, the poor lamb.)

    (Dub-Con does not apply to the Hathaway/Lewis relationship, but James doesn't always make healthy choices as regards himself. It's not dealt with directly until later chapters. The Child Abuse/Non-Con tags are for Crevecoeur, but only involve James peripherally.)

    Summary

    “James?”
    James huffed a sleepy breath and made a soft noise. Nick’s chest tightened.
    “James? Love, let’s go to bed.”

    If trust is slow and hard to build, you relish every brick that slides into place.

    Summary

    Then Nick turns and there, glittering in the corner of the room, is a large pot plant that looks suspiciously like a very small palm tree. It's draped with a net of white fairy lights.
    Nick takes several steps into the room, sets down his bags, and looks around in awe. "What did you do?"
    "Welcome to the Feast of the Magi," James says shyly.

     

    Nick has never been one to enjoy a traditional Christmas. Turns out, neither has James. Which is a blessing in disguise, really, because that means they can make some new traditions of their very own.

    Summary

    Nick has had a slew of lovers over the years. Long-term, short-term. A few one-night stands. A few friends-with-extras. But recently, he's become…lonely. Incredibly lonely. His friends have started to pair up over the past few years, and Nick has begun to feel an intense identification with that dude from Company.

    So when James appears and looms like Darcy and quotes like Fry and sounds like Cumberbatch, there's not a chance in hell Nick isn't going to start singing show tunes in his head and hoping for a way to trip the man precisely in the right direction so he falls gracefully into Nick's bed. Life. Bed. Life.

    Well…

    Both.

    Summary

    I am half way through a little explicit ‘Easter Egg’ for the ending of Ripper, and that and one deleted scene will be it. Promise. But babyklingon and I bring you a little vinaigrette.

    There is no point reading this unless you have read the entire fan novel The Oxford Ripper, and if you read this first the ending will be spoiled for you.

    Summary

    Two versions of the same story. Two stories in one, like ‘A Day in the Life’ by the Beatles, one by McCartney, one by Lennon, fused together to make something brilliant. Not that I’m claiming this is brilliant. Ripper plot my daughter’s, Hathaway’s plot mine.

    This is definitely an AU story. Not canon, not my Seasons AU. No, you need to slide a long way through the multiverse for this one.

    Hathaway gets a boyfriend. It turns out he’s not a very nice one. Lewis is incandescent with jealously. Hobson is fed up with Lewis. Then the bodies of teenagers start piling up. The media move in. everyone is stressed. Why is there a victim every time Hathaway has a date? And does Hathaway think anyone in the office believes his lame excuses for his bruises?

    Version two explores an abusive relationship in detail, the emotional co-dependency, the reasons, and also, the abuse.

    Version one has the entire plot without the details of abuse, sex and gore. Sorry darlings. But it also has much more on the victims and their families, who my daughter may have stolen from various children’s fiction and relocated them in time and space to 21st Century Oxford. Oh, and aged by about 4-8 years.
