CO-WRITTEN WITH FAEMELODY. The last person Rachel expected to see late at night in a pharmacy was Eddie. The last thing he was expecting to see was the bruises that littered her body. It had been only months since he'd left, but something had changed and he can't bring himself to walk away and leave her in danger, even when Rachel doesn't want his help...

Bolton wants to make Rachel Wanted, Rachel and Bolton Becomes a Family after Rachel Runs away

When Rachel is invited to Tom's for New Year's Eve, she only goes because Eddie is. Part of her didn't really think that it was appropriate. Even less so when she is told about the tradition.

Rachel was bored. Bored and irritated. By her sister. Who always reacted to the Christmas period in a different way than she did. And she knew that she was still off sick but there was no way that she could get through without work. And she knew that Eddie would be shocked to see her in but after begging him not to send her home, she had to give him some answers, didn't she?

Rachel's Christmas Eve is not very festive, but at least the uncertainty about covid is proving a valuable distraction from the thought of Christmas Day with Melissa. Only a magical event could lift Rachel's spirits . . .

She shines on him and he closes his eyes in joy. She has never felt anything this divine. 'Skin of the Night' - Rachel's version

She is used to being undressed, he muses. Used to being stripped. To being bare. Only not like this.

From the time he was a child, Eddie hated seeing a woman upset. Especially when he was the cause. But when it causes a whole new confrontation with Rachel, she's driven to a decision that may have unintended consequences for both of them.

When Rachel's year of travelling comes to a sudden halt and she finds herself back in Rochdale, will Adam stand a chance when she has a surprise reunion with Eddie? (Set in 2011, a year after Rachel left Waterloo Road.)

With Fenshaw and the Mason twins now Lawsons, it would seem that the story is complete. Yet there is a twin trying to find her Lawson and the other trying to find his Fenshaw. How lucky will they be in love? Part five of Lawson/Fenshaw

An unexpected tragedy leaves Rachel with the responsibility of two young girls, just as she was about to try to have a baby of her own.

In Fenshaw's eyes, the merger was a great distraction. It meant that she had something to think about other than about the Mason twins going off to university. But with Tyler trying to undermine her at every turn, will it put a stop to the plan that Lawson has? Will it put a stop to them? Part four of Lawson/Fenshaw

Rachel knew that she should never have put Melissa right about her and Ben and she definitely felt like she should have discouraged the speed dating more. Especially when it was a little light on the girls' side and Melissa dragged Rachel over. Although, seeing how jealous Eddie got made her question why the hell he was with Melissa and whether she was still in the running with him

It was in that wait that I thought over my time at Waterloo Road and I became more convinced that it was the right thing to do. There were students out there that needed a school like Waterloo Road to be able to make something of themselves. A school like Waterloo Road would help get some of those students to leave with a lot more than they thought they would.

Eddie knew that he had made a mistake and there were two ways that he could go about it. Either he could continue to wallow in his self-pity or he could try to make Rachel see that he meant what he had said. And that was how he found himself, bleary-eyed in Rachel's office at a ridiculous time in the morning to place a (badly worded) letter on her desk. Would it change her answer?

CO-WRITTEN WITH FAEMELODY Eddie went to the choir competition, Eddie was the one returning in the Taxi. He found Rachel stood in front of the digger and when he was faced with losing her, he knew he couldn't let her go. He just had to prove that to her as she had her mind set up on an entirely different outcome.

With an inconspicuous hand on one blind slat, she has a front seat, bird's eye, business class view of the school grounds and car park. And quite possibly a VIP ticket to the biggest romantic denouement in the school's history.

Rachel had only been at Waterloo Road for a few months, with a past that haunts her she is adament to put it all behind her and better the school, the school that faces a lot of challenges and has great potential. Drama, doom and destruction faces Waterloo Road. The question is, will Miss Mason be around to see it through? And will Eddie support her?

Whilst waiting for Adam to show up for their dinner reservation, a familiar face appears at Rachel's table. Will this provide them with an opportunity for closure, or reignite some not-so-distant feelings? (A three-part fic set at the end of Series 5 Episode 18.)

What if Melissa didn't come back on the last day of term? What if Ralph didn't try to destroy the school? What if Rachel and Eddie got their holiday of a lifetime? Because there are endless possibilities to what that holiday of a lifetime could have been. And this is one of them.

CO-WRITTEN WITH FAEMELODY. What could have happened if Rachel had reacted very differently when Eddie defended her all that time ago when she faced Stuart Hordley in her office?

"Guilt is the fear of one's own wretchedness. It has nothing to do with other people." - Tara Westover Angsty one-shots of Lindsay/Rachel.

And now here they were. Yet it had sown a seed or two of doubt in his mind. And when he is left alone, with peace, and his figures, that is when the facts of the matter take root.

Anyone who ever works at Waterloo Road School becomes adopted into an unofficial family whose bonds can never be broken. What happened to Eddie and Rachel after they left Waterloo Road and went their separate ways? Has Rachel found happiness with Adam? Can either of them ever truly be happy?
