Based on events from "The French Drop." I do not own Foyle's War, nor the rights to anything from it. Chapter 5 may contain content more suitable for an M rating. Readers' discretion is advised accordingly.

Modern Day AU, Coffee House Fic. Fluff? Probably. Based on a prompt from awesomegreentie. We started with a T rating, but who was I kidding? We promptly moved up to a strong M at Chapter 5.

"He was back. Her body told her so. It was singing with it." Giving the Bates' the love life they deserve. S 3, post prison. Enter at your own discretion.

Short slices of Banna, mainly from Terriejane's Weekend Challenges on tumblr, plus other odd assorted prompt type things that have passed through my head.

Modern AU. The beginning of an affair of convenience and understanding. Anna Smith and John Bates are professionals who live on opposite sides of the globe. When they meet at a conference, things get personal too quickly, and they have to deal with the consequences of a seemingly casual relationship that neither of them was looking for. Prequel to So Long, Lonesome.

They had not planned for it, a surprise gift: time for themselves, finally on their own. [Series 2, episode 8]

A "fill-in-the-blank" canon-style journey through Anna and Bates' courtship. I think of this as a "prequel" to A Meeting at Night and Homecoming, but each of the stories can stand alone. This is to be a multiple chapter fic, which began with a T rating and firmly MOVED UP TO A STRONG M AT CHAPTER 16.

A series of drabbles and one shots, some long some short, about my favorite Downton couple, Bates and Anna. Most are based on scenes I would have like to see between them. Now some are modern! No particular order either. Enjoy! Disclaimer for all chapters: I own nothing when it comes to Downton Abbey. If I did, they'd have to rename the show Happy Fluffy Cottage Times.

Modern AU. John Bates is struggling to get his life back on track after a traumatic experience. He follows his mother's advice and seeks help with a therapist, Anna Smith. Can she help him get through this difficult period and ignore the growing connection between them?

This is the sequel to "Gratified By Your Company." 3/31/15: In posting Part 2 of this story, I'd like to dedicate it to the memory of Leonard Nimoy, and to DC Fontana. Without his portrayal of Spock, and her story development, we never would have had Sarek & Amanda.

"I loved you and you left me without so much as an explanation. Vanishing from everywhere I knew. You didn't return my calls or my messages. I couldn't even know if you were still alive." Modern AU, Christmas.

A series of daily drabbles I did on Tumblr back in September. All fluff and smut…so basically all the happy Banna for your enjoyment!

The War may be over, but they are still struggling on. Together, they begin to realise theirs is more than a usual friendship. Foyle/Sam

"She hums at him as they look at one another, and she thinks they must look like young newlyweds in that moment. It's not far from accurate; their love is young and they are only a few months wed. Charles makes her feel like a teen again, with her racing heart and easy smiles, so it is not so strange a comparison to make, she thinks, at least in the shelter of their bedroom." (L/C)

Still being young, Sam let herself believe the world was possible, because of something as simple as the hand he'd placed on her arm and had not moved. A story that begins as Foyle comes home from America. A new chapter at last? Can it be? Is it worth reading? Anyone who still cares about this story has been left waiting. How long will Foyle keep Sam doing the same?

Just a little side trip to explain Sam's comment in 'Dear Sir'.

It isn't Foyle's attachment to the past that is the problem. It's the hurt. The solution? Sam hopes it's her. Chapter 18. That last bit. Thank you! "I don't suppose you could blush on cue?" Christopher suggested.
