Ruth left Harry on the docks two years ago. He thought he would never see her again, until a woman is overheard in a hospital in Turkey calling for Harry Pearce. Ruth has found her way home, but Harry discovers that she is still lost to him. But in time, they will both be reminded of what really matters.

Set immediately after the Albany fiasco. Harry is suspended and Ruth is not doing well at all. But when they are together, maybe they can find a little softness in their midst. Happy Birthday, Sir Harry!

The date this story occurs is the evening of October 31, 2009. Thus, it's a Harry's birthday fic, but that is just an excuse for a one shot set at this time of year, although my main motivation for writing this is because I really love to write dialogue for all three characters. Definitely one chapter only.

Memories resurface. Not all good for Lucas

aka Ruth Talks to Ghosts AU

Harry Pearce tells the story of love and loss and happily ever after, the story of his life with Ruth Evershed.

Ros and Ruth put themselves on the line to stop a terrorist group working out of a woman's prison. Can Harry and Lucas cope with them putting themselves in the firing line. Can the team prevent an attack on London that could change society forever

I'd long ago promised myself I'd put together another one shot featuring Ruth and Ros - a favourite pairing of mine – but not wanting to overdo a good thing I have waited a while to revisit these two. The challenge has been to concoct a different scenario for them to rub together in their own unique way. I hope you enjoy.

Ruth decides to celebrate her Birthday

Another one shot (and I hope I am not repeating myself in too obvious a manner. TBH, I can't tell.) Set in a S10 where Jim Coaver still lives, and the Gavrik mob are packed off early.

Trees, undergrowth and a whole bunch of foreign agents. Harry and Ruth are thrown into a situation where they have to own up to the team from Seasons 4 and 5, that she's finally said yes to that second date.

It's only months after the death of Ros Myers and Andrew Lawrence, and Harry finds himself on enforced leave.

Another one shot for the weekend. Set early-ish in S10, Ruth has an attitude which requires adjustment. Will she sense. or will she stick to her guns?

Post-series. Ruth and Harry's life together after leaving MI-5.

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.)
