It was the code – blood for blood. An officer's death cannot go unanswered. But nothing is ever neatly tied up, especially when the Russians are involved. Harry's move to avenge Ruth's death leads to unforeseen consequences and an unexpected revelation. Even the best spies don't know all the secrets.

Nyssa's brother is the prime suspect in a murder investigation. Lucas is trying to uncover the mysterious faction that is targeting him and Nyssa. And, Harry discovers that Nyssa is connected to an old mission that began over 30 years ago. As if Nyssa didn't have enough problems.

I found this AU fic languishing on my computer and thought I'd dust it off, spruce it up a bit, and share it. I began it a while ago, when I wrote those other fics (Earth, Sea & Sky, and Oxford) about a younger Ruth and Harry. As always, Kudos owns what's theirs and the rest is my own work. Positive, constructive reviews are always welcome and much appreciated. Cheers, S.C.

Jo's death was virtually ignored in canon as the team moved on. An injustice in my opinion and another missed opportunity.

Yet another one shot has convinced me i should write it down, so here it is. It's gentle, the theme somewhat unoriginal, but I like writing OCs, and the OC walked into the story unexpectedly, so ... I hope you enjoy.

Another one shot set after the end of S10. (And I have little control over if, when & whether these one shots get written, other than to say that if the story talks' to me, and I like it, then I begin to write it down.) This is another gentle one. I hope you like it.

Hope is the most powerful emotion, even greater than love. [Harry/Ruth]

Will Ruth get her happy birthday or is the world conspiring against them once more?

In honour of Ruth's birthday today, another one-shot that began life as a caption. Harry receives an unexpected phone call that changes everything. Set in Season 8. Kudos owns what's theirs and the rest is my own work. Constructive, positive reviews are always much appreciated. Hope you enjoy. Cheers, S.C.

A one shot for those with birthdays in April. Set some time in S8.

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.)

AU set during Ruth's exile, where some travel and a beautiful song bring two people together. Inspired by Caledonia by Celtic Woman.

Lucas arrives home from Russia intent on getting his life back, including the love of a woman whose memory's kept him alive. Lucas/Vyeta AU fic set in Series 7.

Inspired by NW's recently acclaimed performance in The Split, Harry needs a solicitor and Malcolm knows just the person.

A shock phone call. A mystery man in the mortuary and the reasurgence of a terrifying right wing group Harry faced years earlier threaten everything the Section Head holds dear. Can the mystery be solved? With history threatening to repeat itself can the team survive?

Inspired by Noël Coward's "Private Lives". On a quiet getaway with their respective lovers in Paris, Ruth and Harry unexpectedly cross paths with one another for the first time in years. One conversation may hold the key to changing both their lives forever. Chapter 18 is up.

When Harry is absent from the Grid the newcomer Ruth Evershed finds herself being blackmailed by the new Section Head. How fortunate then that she meets a helpful stranger. Kudos created characters belong the Kudos the rest in my own

Set after 8.03, this is a Christmas story that is not to be taken too seriously. Kudos owns what's theirs and the rest is my own work. Positive, constructive reviews are always welcome and much appreciated. Cheers, S.C.

Set mid-s8. Harry and Ruth walk the red carpet. Short little fic idea I've had in mind for a while and was inspired to explore as I watched the Golden Globes.

It's New Year's Eve, 2009, and Harry is spending it on the Grid, wishing things were different. This is my New Year one shot.

It's New Year's Eve and Beth has had enough. Who better to help her than Catherine.

Ruth's husband. A mysterious man. Full of promise, like some kind of dream one prays can become real.

Just some holiday fluff with the s4 team.

This is a one shot I wrote for the holiday season, specifically Christmas. Supposing that a miracle had occurred, and both Ruth and Harry had made it to Christmas 2018, then this is a scenario which *may* have occurred, had the stars shone kindly on them both.

Harry is away from the Grid - AWOL, gone dark - and no-one knows where he is or why. Lucas has been left in charge of the team, and that can't be a good thing. So, what should Ruth do? A fic of 7 chapters only, set late-ish in S9.
