Set just a few weeks into their marriage, Charles and Elsie have much to navigate as they get used to one another, and it's beginning to dawn on them that life as man and wife might have as many little secrets as they do as Carson and Mrs Hughes. And what is His Lordship up to, or is that Lady Mary? (updated description, the promised fluff and angst remains)
If you've read 'A Question of Time', then this is the extra chapter that was promised. It is written however to stand alone, an exploration of what might happen when Charles has a shocking request for his wife. And then their mutual (and definitely M-rated!) enjoyment when she agrees.
An abundance of time is not a luxury afforded to those in service and so, when the Abbey falls quiet, the question arises as to what to do with it.
Three weeks in, and Robbie and Laura are finding their feet. Can turning a long held friendship into a relationship really be this easy? A heads-up that we might be in this for the long haul...
A sultry summer night inspired a tale of a hot summer's day building inevitably to something more for our Mr Carson and Mrs Hughes.
Charlie and Elsie Carson share a midday moment together. A fluffy one-shot.
This is the final chapter of 'A Midday Moment', a one-shot that grew into a tale of how the everyday often just gets in the way. Until at last it doesn't…
The birth of a princess gives Edith pause for thought as she endeavours to embrace her new life at Brancaster. Can she reconcile her own inheritance with that of her daughter and husband? A short story inspired by a long weekend of Jubilee celebrations here in the UK.
A fluffy tale of an early summer's day, an English tradition going back centuries, and Robbie and Laura joining James for a day and night of relaxed fun together. No angst, no crime, just something of their past and how they might be now.
In series 7, Robbie and Laura continue their stumbling path towards one another and finally and happily collide. But so much is left wonderfully to the imagination. With all credit to the writers of those fabulous scripts, part two of this trilogy is a series of one-shots, my take on missing scenes. If you need to go back and relive those episodes then go for it! Any excuse, eh!
It's January 1926 and after four glorious weeks away on their honeymoon, it's time for Lord and Lady Pelham to fall back down to earth to start their married life together. How big a bump it might be is yet to be seen.
A long weekend ahead, Lewis, Hathaway and Hobson all have plans - just not together. But that is all set to change with the discovery of a body. But could it be an opportunity instead? At least one of the three think it could be, although they might need some help with their little plan.
Written initially as an epilogue of sorts to 'Beyond lakes and storms', but mostly it's a stand alone one-shot offered as a little Valentines' Day treat. I hope you enjoy my take on this moment.
A suspicious car crash in the middle of the night and a new pathologist in the department give our detectives plenty to keep themselves busy with.
Laura is working too hard in the run up to Christmas. Between worrying about her and trying to solve a case before Christmas, Robbie has a lot on his plate. The first chapter of my first little story about these two! They are not my invention but they are lovely to create new narratives for. Hope you enjoy it!
A first attempt at a story about Laura and Robbie's domestic bliss to hopefully give some cheer for the start of the New Year. Not a crime or dead body in sight!
