This story is set sometime around late Series 8, before Martin has to go before the General Medical Council for the hearing about patient complaints. It takes place in an alternate timeline that follows my previous stories "Louisa Glasson and the Green Mermaid" and "Doc Martin: the Movie."
As much as I adore the canon, and I think Episode 1 series 1 is possibly the greatest first episode of anything, ever, I couldn't help but wonder, what if? This is Louisa's backstory as imagined by me.
Before the Doc came to Portwenn, there was a backstory.
This is a continuation of the story, Martin and Louisa. Please read that first. Buffalo Pictures own the rights to everything in the Doc Martin universe. In writing this I do not seek to gain, financially, but write only to amuse.
AU story continuation on 'What If'. Following Martin and Louisa through their first year of marriage. Martin survived therapy to get this far, what surprises await him.
A sequel to 'Behind Glasson doors'. Twists and turns to original storylines with both Martin and Louisa's perspectives. I absolutely love these characters and try to stay as true to them as possible so reviews are always welcome :)
SPOILER ALERT: This story begins at the end of S9, E8, and follows the life of the Doc and Louisa for the next year or so. How will they cope with all the changes in their lives.
What if Louisa and Martin didn't have the row over the Christening in S5E6? What if Louisa would have gone to London with Martin? We meet Martin almost three years after moving out of Portwenn.
Add-on after Season 3/Series 3, Episode 7. What happened when Louisa walked away?
At the bottom of it all was the root of his trouble. Martin was in deep trouble and it needed to be sorted. How best to proceed to save his career? Plus with changes to come in his family, the urgency to solve his issues could never be greater.
Life is but a set of travels – journeys made through time and space. Fortunate are those whom find kindred souls along the way to guide and love, taking them high and low, forwards and backwards towards the great unknowns. When we keep going where we are headed then we will get to where we are going – together. -Follows where "Then We Must Change" left off.
In this AU story, Martin discovers that things are not as they seem. Buffalo Pictures owns Doc Martin; I'm just playing with it
Louisa and James Henry take a holiday to visit her brother and are drawn into an adventure with him and his friends that will test the strength of Louisa's feelings for Martin. Set some months after S5E8 and before S6E1, with a special AU mystery guest appearance.
James is seven years old and has one of his bad moments. Martin and Louisa have to put him straight, which leads to an interesting man-to-man talk. Warning: There's a short reference to S6
This is my first venture into fan fiction. Other authors have explored the Martin-Louisa relationship so well already but I just couldn't resist having some fun with Martin. So this is my take on S2E8, a day in the life of DM in four parts. Please be aware this is rated M, not because of the first chapter but later on.
Another fantasy vignette. An AU scene, in which Martin turns a different direction when coming home after the events of S4E7 "Do Not Disturb." Again, please be aware that this is rated M.
Just a little fantasy vignette. A possible unseen ending to S3E5 ("The Holly Bears A Prickle," a.k.a. "Breaking Up Is Hard To Do")
Even a grouch needs love ... Martin and Louisa are trying to be kinder to each other. I am a fan who believes people can change and I wrote this story to show that they are learning to get along. But it is so difficult for Martin to tell Louisa he loves her.
Just a little random story about Martin and Edith in med school... Nothing special...
Martin and Louisa have grown closer but will an accident derail their progress? Follows Lifting Weights.
Post series 6, no spoilers whatsoever. Martin has done some counceling, but still has to deal with his blood phobia
This story follows Series 6/Episode 8. It follows the Ellingham family through some 25 years of living and growing. It attempts to remain true to the canon of the show as well as pick up on names, events and themes from the Doc Martin FanFiction stories that have a common thread. There is no intent to plagiarize but to enhance and appreciate the work of good authorsl.
Doc Martin and Louisa are becoming aware of their attraction to each other. Then … Louisa has a chance to spend several summer months in the United States with an international teacher exchange program. Away she goes … and someone new catches her eye. Will she return to Portwenn and Martin? Please forgive a far away writer in America for not knowing so many English terms or ways.
Martin and Louisa find themselves stranded on Bodmin Moor. Takes place in series 3 after Bert's opening night but before "The Holly Bears a Prickle" concert date. Be warned this is a dark story containing violence.
Sometimes leave taking can become an arrival.
Martin never thought much about Valentine's Day until Louisa.
A glimpse into the car ride home from the hospital in S6E7: Listen With Mother. Louisa is exhausted, bruised, and unhappy. She needs a break, but how can she make Martin understand?
Louisa thinks she has it under control...but does she?
There is a start to every story, and sometimes a story before that.
Man, and woman, do not live by bread alone.
