Summary
This is an ‘Alternate Universe’-type story, set in late 1968 and early 1969.
Plot does not connect to my other stories. There are several departures from the canon, both from the TV show and the Colin Dexter books.
Takes place in Oxford. Begins before the shootout in “Icarus.” I have rearranged the scene a bit. Some new characters are there, some old ones are not.
A ‘regular’ soda is the old word for ‘medium-sized.’
A tam o’shanter is an Irish hat, somewhat like a beret with a puff on top.
The Museum of Modern Art (in) Oxford opened in 1965. I don’t know if they had glass sculptures in the early exhibitions. Maybe they did.
The Oxford Botanical Gardens charges admissions today, but I don’t know if they did in the late 1960s.
Yes, it’s a fantasy, ultimately, but so are all my stories.
Thank you for reading them. I hope you enjoy.
Please note: story contains graphic violence, sexual situations, and foul language.

Summary
Set in Oxford, in the second half of 1969. A building burns to the ground. The circus rolls in. Endeavour’s relative pays a visit, for the first time in years. A baby boy needs a christening. Unwelcome gossip causes Joan to take drastic measures. Lewis and Valerie have a big day ahead. Also, there’s a cat. The Seventies are just around the corner.
‘Elkwood’ was not a real drama show on the air in 1969. I made it up.
Please note: story contains graphic violence, sexual situations, and foul language.
Thanks very much. I hope you enjoy the story.

Summary
Set in Oxford, in the spring of 1969. The city is bracing for a boat race between Oxford and Cambridge. DCI Thursday considers retirement. Jim continues his stint as the acting replacement for Thursday. Endeavour and Lewis are not prepared for very dangerous situations. The year rolls on.
I added middle names for two main characters. I haven't heard these names mentioned on the show or in the Colin Dexter novels. If I got it wrong... somebody let me know. :)
Featuring the standard main characters, and some new ones. As before, I have invented some names and locations.

Summary
Set in Oxford, in early 1969, after the close of “Union.”
(Please note, I have no idea what the actual geography of Oxford is like. I just imagine the Tolkien papers, if they have any, being kept in some library, at some college. Forgive any errors.)
A robbery sees the loss of key papers from the Tolkien collection. Morse and Lewis follow the trail from the crime scene, to the Eagle and Child, where the Inklings used to meet, to neo-Nazi ultranationalist groups. Illness threatens the peace of the Thursday household. Endeavour and Joan have a rehearsal to go to. It’ll be a busy season at the Thames Valley PD.
Warning: some foul language, graphic depictions of violence, and graphic sexual situations.
Also, story contains the death of a major character.
I have again invented some names and locations.

Summary
An AU starting from when Joan came to Morse's flat in "Harvest." What if he'd told her what he felt wasn't pity? What if she'd told him about the baby? Things could have been very different. No Series/Season 5 spoilers.
