He has no idea what the hell they're doing in the pub in the middle of a Wednesday afternoon but he does know that when Harry suggests blowing off work and going for a drink he's not crazy enough to say no...

Dempsey is seconded to MI5 who are using his immigration to the UK to pressure him into moving away from SI10. Harry protects him in his darkest hour and their bond is tested and fulfilled. Leaving this a a single chapter at the moment as I have two different stories that proceeds from this and not sure on the future progression.

Little story set around The Cortez Connection and Simone's visit...hope everyone is doing well :) Thanks for all of the comments on Kiss, Rinse, Repeat - they really do all make me smile so much.

She could say she doesn't remember when the kissing started but that would be a lie. She could say she doesn't remember why the kissing started. That too would be a lie... Just a little one-shot from me. Thanks, as always, for the comments on my latest Unplanned chapter and also on Maybe I Miss You. You're all lovely :)

" They will be drunk on each other and she'll think about their first date. The jazz club." A strange little story that doesn't fit anywhere else! Completed! Maybe a bit of inspiration to anyone who wants to go and write about those dates! I don't mind if you do!

So, I was thinking what if the two of them had already started something before he went undercover in The Burning...and ended up with this, a slightly different take on one of Lupino's night time visits to check in with his controller. Once again probably on the edge of the ratings boundary...

Thank you so much for the reviews, all complete. Happy Valentine's Day.

As always, thanks for the lovely comments, they really do make my day :) Final chapter of this one. Hope you enjoy. Stay well, everyone!

It's Valentine's weekend and Dempsey isn't happy as Harry has upset him. Can she make amends in time for them to enjoy their weekend away?

Last chapter of this one. You're all the loveliest with your comments, thank you :)

Set between Series 2 and 3, immediately before Coltrane arrives. What made Dempsey change? Why did he ask Harry if she cared about Mara?

"Me in my bed, you in yours..." A rewatch of In the Dark made me wonder what Dempsey was about to say when the phone rang and this goes off on the assumption that it didn't.

They've reached breaking point. Can their fragile relationship be salvaged or has he pushed her too far?

I wasn't necessarily planning on a second chapter for this one but I started thinking about that date he asked her on, and then I started writing, and hey...here we are!

Baby it's cold outside - yes it is! And it snows. Based on Frank Loesser, Harry thinks about going home and Dempsey tries to persuade her to stay. Completed.

They seem to think they're so discreet. They're wrong.

Final chapter of this little story. Thanks for all of the lovely feedback, it really does make me smile so much :)

Prelude to Don't Ask (yes, this ought to be part 1, but I wasn't going to post this but was inspired to do so by The Ballad of Danny and Debbie by CocoBacon which you should read!) It's full of tropes and a bit of naughty language as Harry sets out to prove she can do undercover better than Dempsey.

Little post-ep one shot for Out of Darkness.

"Aren't you going to the New Year bash?" Spikings emerges from his office with his coat over his arm. He looks around the empty office. "Where's Prince Charming?" Utter fluff, no plot with a tiny part 2. Completed.

I may have 4 or 5 stories already in progress, but did that stop my brain from deciding a little New Year's Eve one shot was needed? No, it did not. Wishing you all a safe and peaceful New Year. May we all be able to leave our houses again in 2021!

Dempsey is missing. Will Harry and the others be able to save him? Or is it already too late?

Spikings concentrates on driving the cab. He's got a bloody good idea, but he'll ask Mrs. S, who'll probably look at him like he's daft. She's always thought that Harry called the shots when it came to Dempsey and they'd been 'Up To Something' for a while. (Inspired by Wheelman)

An AU complete story with Dempsey still as a Lieutenant and Spikings as the boss and Chas is his partner. He meets Harry in a timeline similar to series 3 when she's in need of his help as she tries to escape her marriage. Warning for violence at the start and then a gentle story of hope and love.
