Part of the Emerald Series, Part 2. They have come a long way in the short time of four months or so. Still some things are quite unfamiliar for Barbara.

Making progress is not only moving in together, you also have to manoeuvre life around work. Our detective couple has to go down a few floors at the Met. This is Door 3. I'd like to give a mild warning about a description of cruelty. But that's what you could expect when the title of a story is the name of a pathologist, couldn't you? Part of Emerald Series Part 2

Making progress is not only moving in together, you also have to have a break from time to time. Our detective couple spends this break in a green oasis in the middle of the city. This is Door 2. Part of Emerald Series Part 2

Making progress is not only moving in together, you also have to inform some people. Our detective couple has to go up a few floors at the Met. This is Door 1. Part of the Emerald Series, Part2.

It started with Merry Christmas. The previous story to this was mirror mirror. Now the Emerald Series, Part 2, continue. What else is there to say? Their life goes on. It's the middle of March, let's say 2010. Some thoughts come with every serious relationship.

A case is wrapped, the weekend has arrived, Barbara has plans and her boss too. Not only ended Tommy's day with the prospect of doing her paperwork. Barbara's evening does not go as planned either.

Even detectives need some time off. These two spend it in Cornwall. Just a fluffy piece.

It was the last day of the year and apart from the pandemic situation London was struck by two major cases. One of them was on the way to be solved by the best team of the Met.

A virus is on a crusade around the world and also reaches London. It doesn't stop at beloved people. But where there's darkness, there will be light. Where there's an end there will be a new beginning.

When Barbara flees the Met Christmas party after talking to Tommy, Winston and Stuart plot to get them together once and for all. However, will things take a turn without their help?

Maternity leave is bullshit, as far as Barbara Havers is concerned. *** Part 2 of what I'm now calling the "Something Ere the End" series.

"If you were having an affair with her that would be one thing—" Helen says, and then the thought pops into his head—unlooked for, unsolicited, un-bloody-believably. An affair with Havers, he thinks, there's an idea. *** Some time after the series, Lynley finally makes a move on Havers. Part 1 of the "Something Ere the End" series.

Just before NYE 2020, Hillier decides that low crime rates and Tier Covid 5 restrictions mean his officers should work from home. When Tommy insists Barbara move in with him, they were not expecting their own personal fireworks. A fluffy story for New Year, but being 2020, I never finished it in time.

When Tommy agrees to help Barbara cook her Christmas pudding, he discovers that some rom-coms really are classics, and that the boy always gets the girl. Or is that the other way around?

Inspector Lynley is sick and Havers tries her best to take care of him. Goofy, feverish Lynley and worried/amused Havers banter.

Barbara and Tommy are lonely and one conversation causes havoc and potentially happiness.

A missing scene from S2, Ep 2, A Suitable Vengeance. What should have happened between Tommy and Barbara away from prying eyes and judgemental minds. Rated T as it contains a body but no nudity or sexual content.

A present which would arrive later but that he would love till the day he died

During a case of murder the two London Detectives were led to a village near Manchester where they want to learn more about the family of their victim. They learned a lot more.

When a nasty virus forces our detectives into quarantine, will they succumb to their anxieties or will they uncover their true feelings?

This is a special story for a fan who is tying the knot this week, so if Barbara seems a little clumsier than normal, she is just channeling 'the bride', who incidentally is also the most sex-crazed person I know. But no, there is not an M-rated version of this, just use your imaginations. Warning: this story contains hilarity.

January. It should be colder. There should be snow. There are too many people out there and public transport is... ah! Let's not talk about it.

Barbara has gone to her cousin's in Buckinghamshire for NYE unbeknownst to Tommy whose new girlfriend makes him realise that his sergeant is the only woman he can love - if he can find her, and if she will accept him.

After a young colleague saw a hilarious picture of Tommy on her desk and wondered about it, Barbara remembers a nice Metropolitan Police charity event.

This is just a short one. 'tis that certain season again, when charity events take place and everyone is jolly and hopes for love and peace. Let's have a closer look at three Detectives from the Metropolitan Police in London.
