He only wanted to start life afresh, away from war. He would get his wish… but not quite in the form that he expected. Overlaps (and extends) the events of Mad About The Boy to fill in Scott Wallaker's history. If you liked that book, you'll probably like this story.

Miles to go before he sleeps. Takes place before and during Mad About the Boy.

Adventures abroad and at home, now that Bridget and Mark are back together. This begins just post-EOR/ book, after Mark asks her (on Friday, 19 Dec 1997) to go to Thailand with him.

Bringing a child into the world can really refocus your priorities and perceptions. How did Daniel come to be both Billy's and Mabel's godfather?

The most seemingly insignificant decisions can be the pivot point upon which a life turns, and what might have otherwise been can still affect you deeply. MATB, AU: What if Mark hadn't been in that vehicle?

Curious children never stop asking questions. (MATB AU, with Mark.) Quick thing for Easter.

A dead man is a hard one to compete with. Mr Wallaker surely had some of his own struggles to handle, don't you think? Post-MATB.

An old book, an old photo-takes place during MATB. K / PG, 1451 words.
