During From the Heart, Shane's plaintive question to Oliver, "Am I too late for dinner?" broke my heart on a deeper level. The gut-wrenching look and tone made me seriously wonder, "Who hurt you, Shane?" And this fic came to being. Part of the Between the Altars series and follows Family Ties. WARNING: Major married themes and conversations, but still a T rating IMO.
The sequel to Second Thoughts in which Oliver continues to contemplate his letter to Holly.
Every rewatch of Home Again results in the collective POstable groan: WHY did Oliver not kiss Shane before he dashed off to New York? So, here y'all go, a ficlet to remedy that oversight. (Note: this follows the storyline established with The In-Between, but you don't have to read it first.)
When we left Shane and Oliver at the end of Impossible Dream, they were on the same page, happily saying "I love you" without words. But in From the Heart, they seemed to not only be on different pages but possibly reading different books. So what happened? Maybe something like this ... (A fill-in-the-gap story spanning the 7 months between Impossible Dream & From the Heart.)
Set between Treasure Box and A Hope and A Future and pulling from Something Good and Dark of Night. Oliver contemplates his growing feelings for Shane and, after their release from the immediacy and intensity in the bank vault, rereads the letter he wrote to Holly and questions its message.
Oliver and Shane have returned from their honeymoon and are settling in to life together. But a dead package containing unresolved family issues prompts Oliver to address his own lingering family questions. Warning: mild married adult themes.

Shane and Oliver encounter an unexpected bump on their way to going steady. Occurs in between Higher Ground and Home Again, hence the title.

A growing friendship and a special project give Shane greater clarity on who she is and deepen her love story with Oliver and God. Sequel to Between the Altars II.
Can working together to confirm the real owner of the Kellser family vase open a door to more answers for Shane when it comes to the "very special agent" Dale Travers and one Oliver O'Toole? (Supplemental fic for the Between the Altars canon)
