Author has written 23 stories for Scott & Bailey, MI-5/Spooks, and Last Tango in Halifax.

Currently obsessed with Scott and Bailey. I hadn't written fanfic in about five years until I watched this programme.

I'm mad about grammar and I love language, though I sometimes abuse both of them on purpose. I don't like writing about myself but I thought this ought to say something.

begin it

boldness has genius power and magic in it

begin it now"

it will take little time, it will take all your

1. Can't Must reviews
Post 3.05. Louise's point of view. How does Helen react to the news that she will be charged with an offence? How do you live with that person? How do you cope when loving someone hurts so much?

2. These Close and Closest Things » reviews
Gillian and Robbie finally get to go out for a meal, some time after series 1 finishes. Fluff with bits of family stuff thrown in.

3. The Darkness Shivers reviews
Set between 3.04 and 3.05. Helen and Louise talk and come to some kind of reconciliation. Dark and disturbing subject matter. This may tricky to follow because it is told from Helen's point of view.

4. All Different Kinds » reviews
This started when my imagination ran away with the phrase "She's all yours" and the looks between Rachel, Gill and Helen in the Series 3 trailer. It has now taken on a life of its own. I'm sorry to say I have very little idea where it's going except that it's me exploring the strange relationships between the three of them by making them stranger.

5. Our Numbered Days reviews
A day in the life of Gillian, set roughly ten years before the series begins. Just that, any old ordinary day. Rated T for sex and swearing.

6. This is not what we do » reviews
Janet and Rachel are drawn to each other but don't want to admit what this might mean. A series of Janet/Rachel moments from across the episodes - not in chronological order. Very fluffy and sometimes just a little bit angsty.

7. Putting Things Right reviews
Gill goes into work early one day and encounters someone she doesn't expect. Things can get dangerous when people have conflicting ideas of what is "right." A response to the Gill in danger fic challenge.

8. Getting By reviews
"I love Helen, and I know she loves me, but sometimes it's hard for her, it's hard just to deal with things. You don't understand. And that can be difficult to live with, you know. It's hard to love someone who hurts that much." ... Written after Series 3, episode 1 - a look at Helen Bartlett from the POV of her partner Louise.

9. Let It Be Me reviews
The best of lies are built on the truth. There are things that Ruth does not allow herself to think about, things that nevertheless shape her life and relationships. Something happened when she was eighteen and she will never let herself forget the lessons it taught her. Inspired by episode 4.10 (Diana). Quite dark.

10. Not I Alone » reviews
An alternate version of Taking Leave, written by my other half who doesn't have an ff account so she asked me to post it. Harry goes travelling, six months after Ruth leaves Thames House and fate takes a hand.

11. Taking Leave reviews
A little fantasy - somewhere post series 5. If Harry had taken leave, had gone travelling in Europe. If he had happened to bump into a certain someone. I know this wouldn't, didn't, couldn't happen, but if it had...

Christmas comes to Syndicate 9, whether they like it or not. A 100 word drabble for every day running up to Christmas (I hope - if I can manage it)!

14. Drowning reviews
Post-series 2. Rachel is struggling with everything that has happened to her recently and she doesn't cope in the best of ways. At least one person is determined to help her through it but will Rachel have the sense to cling to the friendship that is offered? Oneshot.

15. Giving Up reviews
Janet remembers it precisely – the moment she gave up on him. Oneshot. Set between episodes 5 and 6 of series 1.

16. Turn in my Arms reviews
A Rachel/Gill oneshot. An after-hours drink, a talk about a case, and the way things go. This could be read as a prequel to She Who Will Tell Me but it absolutely stands on its own as well. Pure fluff.

17. Heat & Light reviews
Gill's first case for MIT would have to be a big one. She is trying to adjust to her new job and new team, look out for Sammy, deal with Dave making her life difficult, handle pressure from the brass, and solve a murder or two... but at least she is thrown together with an old friend who she hasn't seen in a while.

18. In This Together reviews
This is weird. You have been warned! A dark, crack, AU-fic inspired by an Amanda Palmer video. It is also a musical. Think Chicago meets Mother's Union tea dance and you might be somewhere along the right lines. I'm sorry. I wrote it for a dare. I don't even know how to categorise it!

20. She who will tell me » reviews
Gill/Rachel/Janet - inspired by Aimeefran's video "I'm Only Human". Gill is with Rachel but her own fears make her seem distant. Rachel doesn't believe Gill really cares and on a drunken night out with Janet things start to happen between the two friends. Betrayal. Trust. Love. Pain. Choices. This is a fairly high T I think but it's not explicit.

21. Making an Exhibits Officer of Himself reviews
All Kevin wanted was to be the one in charge of watching the DVDs collected from the Birkenshaws' house. A funny take on what might have happened if his little dream came true. Very silly.

What are you doing Saturday 23rd of August at three o'clock in the afternoon? Rachel and Sean thought that was when they were getting married but somebody may have forgotten to check their diary.

23. Mrs Weaver MI6 reviews
'You know she's a government spy, right' ... 'Will she be armed' ... 'Oh yeah. You know that handbag she's got...' Oneshot. What happened after Sean's son Haydn met Rachel Bailey, the next day in school.
