This story has been written for the express purpose of writing one of my favourite Spooks characters. This is the first chapter, (most likely) of two. I have not yet written the next chapter, but the story feels incomplete as a one shot.

Second chances are rare. The first time around, Harry ignored all his rules and let Ruth Evershed into his life, only to lose her to outside forces. When she returns, Harry vows that things will be different but only if can learn from the past.

S9-10 rewrite with one major difference: Ruth says yes.

It isn't until after Adam's death, that Ros appreciates the impact of losing Ruth has had on Harry. More so now when Harry finds himself looking after Wes. It's time for her to make amends by bringing her home.

Harry is back where he belongs. A routine meet leads to more trouble than the team can ever imagine. The past may be another country but for Harry and Lucas it is all too close to home.

A short story about our two favourite Spooks to get me back into writing. With Harry tied up in meetings, Mace makes a visit to see Ruth on the Grid. Set early Series 5 (post date: pre cotterdam)

This story is woven around a familiar theme, and in a familiar setting, but with a different outcome. One shot only (definitely).

A sequel to 'For Being a Little Bad'. Three months later Harry and Ruth are not on good terms. When they are forced to work together off Grid. Tired of their constant bickering the team decide it is time they took a hand in resolving matters.

The following fic is AU, set 2.5 years after the end of S10. It is an experiment in using OCs to assist the narrative, as observers of our favourite couple. What started out as a one shot has become 3 chapters, which I hope will tie things off nicely.

The children of our favourite spooks have some questions. Starting with Lucas and Ros but other chapters will focus on the others. Amy and James have taken to asking a lot of questions.

A rewind from the night on the bus, to the moment when Harry realised how he felt about Ruth. Except that he's been suspended, so has to contrive a way, not only to prove that he was right to release Lewis Kurvin but to tell her. Adam who is also struggling, the linchpin.

Christmas on the Grid promises to be a little different for the team this year.

This story (currently a one shot but with potential to be expanded to one more chapter) is set late in S10, with an AU scenario in relation to the visiting Russians. Realistically, it's just another excuse/vehicle for getting H & R together. Second of 3 chapters up.

Ruth's thoughts are interrupted as she watches the stars above Thames House. (Set early series 8).

Harry is tired. A case that has all the hallmarks of a group they all believed was long since disbanded returns to haunt them. Once again lives are at risk, the security of the British nation is threatened. Once again it falls to Section D and Harry's team to get to the bottom of the mess. Will they be able to? Can Ruth catch Harry before he falls?

Set at the end of 8.1. Jo has some questions. Is her best friend really home? Will her friend get the happy ever after she wants for her?

For Z… A collection of short stories, based on quotes from the series, that explore some of the what ifs between Ruth and Harry.

A new conference. A new security operation. Old memories resurfacing for Harry and Ruth. Is everything what it seems?

And another one shot in which the title appeared before the story itself. Some light humour, some conversation, some Ruth and Harry, and some Ros and Lucas just because they turned up on the day.

That Harry has always been prepared to sacrifice himself to save others, has never been in doubt. To save Ruth, multiply one hundred fold. A single phone call, sees him flying to Cyprus to do just that.

So, here we are again. An unexpected idea - not especially original - appeared to me suddenly. To be honest, I got the title first, and the rest simply followed. Set early-mid S9, and featuring most of the S9 Grid personnel, this is a gentle tale, using my favourite storytelling technique - dialogue.

When Wes's childhood ends, it does so with a bang and no whimpers. (Or: a lesson in overcoming tragedies, by Wes Carter).

Set after the EERIE episode in series 2. Harry and Ruth are both left with a lot to think about following the exercise.

A collection of Ruth's thoughts about Harry while she's away.

An early morning wake up call, ghosts from the past and the threat to an apparently honest politician drags the team into danger. Can Harry protect his team? Can Ros escapes the demons of her past?
