Why would two detectives leave their idyllic Caribbean island to holiday in cold and dreary London? The answer is simple. One of them is Richard Poole, of course...and the other one is in love with him.

Richard had grown tired of Camille's constant teasing. So when the opportunity presented itself, he rightfully proved that he could be just as good at is as she was. He soon finds out that maybe he's too good at it.

Catherine watches Neville and Florence, and she can't help but muse about his predecessors.

More stories about our favourite couple based on S1 E2-3 or their memories of E2-3.

This takes place some years in the future. Richard and Camille are married and have children. This story assumes that Season 3, Episode 1 happened with a different outcome for Richard.

It's that time of year, and this will be Richard Poole's third on the island of Saint-Marie, but it's the first in a long time he's done anything so daring as this . . .

My perspective on DiP books and certain films: further adventures of Richard Poole and Camille Bordey et al.

Dies ist die erste Episode einer virtuellen 10. Staffel. Die Idee zu dieser FF-Serie entstand, als es erst 8 Staffeln gab. Es wird hier also weitgehend ignoriert, was im Original nach Staffel 8 passierte, obwohl manches erwähnt werden kann. Zur Episode: Ob es je einen Henderson Wayne gab, der Tennis spielte, weiß ich nicht - der Name ist Fiktion. Ich habe nichts gegen Céline Dion!

Season 3 ep 01 with a mega twist and how good can come out from bad things.

What if it was Humphrey...? This story works on the basis that Richard returned to London at the end of s2 - obviously s3e1 never happened - and Humphrey took over from him. After a few months of being DI, Humphrey attends a fatal tea party...

He'd become a little attached to the idea of Richard, he supposed. The awkward but brilliant detective, the stiff-upper-lip Englishman with the heart of gold. The box was right there, and Humphrey had always been curious by nature.

This is another of those 2018 stories, my "tin box" year, I suppose you could say. I post it now because, sadly, I don't suppose I can make it any better.

After returning from London, Richard plans on changing his ways.

What if there was much more to Richard Poole than met the eye?

Juste après le premier épisode de la saison 3 mais avec un énorme twist... ou une autre version de ce qui aurait dû se passer. Version en anglais à venir.

A more or less friendly collaboration between the ever patient Isainparadise and the somewhat less patient Sweepeaspatch. There's a mystery on the beach... but does it need solving?

Spoilers for 'Murder from Above,' the minds of the Marston siblings who killed their soon to be stepmother and who would not take their spoilt attitudes and Jack and Philip Marston.

Neville walked back to the jeep, his face stinging with embarrassment. What was he thinking? Of course, he couldn't just turn up and tell her how he felt, not if her date was about to arrive in twenty minutes. It would put her on the spot, hurry her into a decision, and that was the last thing he wanted. He wanted her to want this too. After 10x8 and beyond. (Florence/Neville)

Isn't it amazing what a rash on your scalp can lead to, the remembrance of an old case involving a jewel thief throwing their loot onto a rooftop. Such things exist in the Caribbean.

We all want a Jack and Humphrey London spin-off. This is it. But gay. (Jack/Humphrey)

Florence arched her neck, looking up at him. He looked down at her, deep into her eyes, their lips dangerously close together. "I get scared of storms too, you know," she told him, her voice barely audible. "But you make me feel safe." Jack and Florence have wagered all kinds of storms but falling in love in the wake of grief is by far the hardest. (Jack/Florence)

This was also written back in 2018, but it takes place just before series 1 episode 8. What was it that got Richard to agree to do more small talk, particularly in the mornings?

I swear, this was written back in 2018, but it might almost be a follow-up to BlackberryHoney's Aeroplane Noises and the Lesser Antilles, for which I don't quite know whether to apologize or not.

Babysitting Rosie was supposed to be easy, mostly because she was supposed to be asleep the whole time. It was easy, but not in the way that Richard expects.

"I haven't done this in a long time," said Jack, his breath quickening. "And I've never done this with a guy before." Outtakes from my fic The Wolves. (Jack/Humphrey)
