For this was not a war fought by sense and logic; this was a war fought by starving men in holes in the ground, fighting for ideals that no longer made any sense. (Harry/Ruth, rated M for sex, violence, war, etc.)

In the aftermath of Ros's death, Harry and Ruth take comfort in each other, but when their relationship falls apart, they believe they've reached the end of the road. Even love has consequences, and neither of them are prepared for what happens next. Starts at the beginning of season 9. Mostly from Ruth's perspective, with quite a bit of Beth thrown in as well. Now complete.

Re-Upload. When Hornblower is near fatally wounded in battle at sea it throws the whole future of life on board the 'Indefatagable' into question. Will the young man survive? And just what is it that his friend Archie Kennedy and the ever present Captain Pellew can do to help save is life, when the future of the fleet is further compromised by a traitor on board?

HR romance and very M rated! A mix of chapters and styles and the chapters do not follow on from one another. Ch 35 up. A bit different! Now complete.

Post S10. Follow-up to Thicker than Water, which explains why Ruth is alive and in a relationship with Harry. A suicide bombing sets off a chain of events that will test Harry and his team to the limit, and forces Ruth to choose sides between Harry and her new boss.

Set almost 2 years after the end of Series 10. Lots of angst, but I promise the mood will lift. My aim in writing this is to repair the mess the writers/producers left us in at series end.

Alternate Universe. It is 1944 and Britain is at war with Germany. Plans for the Allied landings in France have been laid, but when these plans threaten to fall into the hands of the enemy, who will Prime Minister Churchill turn to?

Harry, Ruth, and some starlight...

An alternative ending to episode 10.6.

Harry visits Ruth after the Albany fiasco. Set immediately post-9. H/R, rated M.

Terrible title. Basically HR M rated goodness. No plot at all! Now complete

No final calamity here. A nice happy HR look. Goodness fluff and everything needed after the finale. Now Complete!

Well, it looks like one way or t'other 10.6 is going to be a humdinger. And probably nothing at all like this...As the inquiry ends, Harry has to face up to the consequences of what he's done. Disclaimer: Kudos *gives them evils* and the BBC own all.

Harry and Ruth have finally got together, but will Harry's quest for atonement ruin things before they've begun?

a VERY alternative version of the bus scene in 4.10

Don't blame the other POGs for this fluff, my account Botticelli50 is acting up. Harry & Ruth's cat & mouse relationship is threatened by the catalyst of a new recruit.

Post 5.5. A year has passed and suddenly out of the blue Harry receives a coded postcard from Ruth urging him to meet her in New York.
