Sally Wainwright's creation continues to weave its magic. Here's my take on what happened before series 1.

Why is it that the truest loves are those that are tried the hardest? When Eleanor's past and Caroline's insecurities come calling, the ladies test, then prove, their mettle - and of course find that love always wins. Thanks for anonymous encouragement. Signed reviews will remain published. Complete.

This story starts ten years after Caroline's Holiday in NYC ends. Flora is now 12 and exhibits all the best parts of her Mums. Flora, Caroline, William, Ginika and Gillian are gratefully borrowed from Sally Wainwright, Red Productions and the BBC. The characters of Nicola and Angela are friends of mine. They haven't met Sally W yet. Part 2 of a trilogy.

Caroline and Kate grab a quick lunch together while discussing John's reckless behavior and its predictable impact on the kids. No copyright infringement is intended or implied as I bow to the ownership of Sally Wainwright, Red Productions and the BBC.

As requested, an extension of Memories part 1 and 2, found in 'Chocolate Selection Box'. Caroline and Kate move to pastures new, but are they running from past or are they running to the future? Caroline's never been athletic. She decides they're just going to live in the here and now.

Had it not been for John's bad behavior in the first place, Caroline and Kate might never have gotten together so perhaps we should thank the smarmy guy and try to help him in the end. As always, no copyright infringement is intended. All the characters and the underlying story are owned by Sally Wainwright, Red Productions and the BBC.

An extended version of chapter 65- Chocolate Selection Box. A second chance at a life with Kate is what Caroline wants more than anything, but can she change her ways? Will contain some M-rated happiness later on (you're welcome).

What happens at 4 o'clock, after that office snog? This is an old story I took down a few months ago. I'm posting it again after special request from a friend. :)

"...and now for something completely different. Under no circumstances is this story to be taken too seriously. It's rated T for possible/most likely future content. A Kate and Caroline AU story. Please note that this story has been recently re-posted due to a chapter mix-up and is not a new story but feel free to re-read it or perhaps enjoy it for the first time.

Caroline deserves a fairy tale ending in all the different incarnations we imagine for her. I'll dip my toe and keep adding my voice. Though - per the happily ever after genre - there may be bumps along the way. Only signed reviews will remain published.

This is a little glimpse into the early days of Caroline and Kate getting together. It appears as though the reality is as good as the fantasy. Caroline definitely wants Kate there to have her anytime she likes and Kate clearly feels the same.

A short glimpse into how Caroline might move forward in her life.

A different series of events might alter Caroline and Kate's realities. Complete.

What could be more stressful for Caroline and Kate than planning their wedding while preparing for the arrival of a baby? Doing both those things while trying to figure out why Celia is being more of a handful that usual, of course. No copyright infringement is intended.

Set after Series 4. Caroline and Gillian are united in their loneliness and discover their feelings for each other run deeper than just friendship. Caroline/Gillian

Life in the McKenzie -Dawson household moves on and family life with the twins begins to unfold. Some fuzzy and warm moments, some challenging moments too.

This story fills in some of the gaps after Caroline leaves Kate at the hotel. Characters gratefully borrowed from the rightful owners, the BBC, Red Productions and Sally Wainwright. No copyright infringement intended.

A vignette in three parts. Is there such a thing as perfect? Maybe. But Caroline doesn't think it applies to her life. Eleanor and Jane disagree with her. Set about eight years after Caroline and Eleanor marry, and about one year before their separation begins (ie before the Nothing More short). Part of a larger work in glacial progress. Anonymous reviews will be removed.

The story is set a few years on from series 3 (Last Tango in Halifax). I have set it from my point of view, as we all would like to be in the shoes of Caroline's new lover. Hope you all enjoy!

Caroline strikes up a new friendship with a student's mother. While trying to help her through an all too familiar marital breakup, the friend reciprocates by helping Caroline focus on getting a second chance at happiness with Kate. The characters are not mine, they are just gratefully borrowed from Sally Wainwright, the BBC and Red Productions. No copyright infringement intended.

Robbie and Gillian- a fix it for the Christmas special

Although Caroline still mourns Kate's rejection (2x04), a new teacher at school grabs her attention. Will anything happen?

Caroline and Kate, from the very beginning. Sally Wainwright is responsible for creating the characters, I'm just filling in the gaps. From Chapter 15 on, it's morphing a bit into what I would have liked to see happen for C&K.

An adventure with Caroline set four years in the future. Complete.

This started out as a story taking place just after Gillian's wedding. It initially was about Caroline and Flora's visit with Ginika in NYC which afforded her more insight into her beloved Kate. To Caroline's surprise, she bumped into an old friend and is gingerly moving into a promising new relationship as she continues to cope with her new reality and loss. Part 1 of a trilogy.
