its the anniversary of his death and everything has gone silent - even the sky seems quiet.

Jack doesn't leave after Ricky Hanson's trial. Canon divergent drabble to "Spare Parts" (s5e1).

The thoughts of the original gang as UCOS was first set up.

An anniversary Sandra wished never existed.

Ted is the new boy on the team. A good copper, in his time with a knack for reading people. What does he see that the others on the team pretend they dont?

While conducting a search related to their newest case Sandra and Steve get locked in one of the rooms. This gives the two some time together where they like it or not. Sandra/Strickland but mentioned only.

Sandra can't help but wonder if the DCI UCOS had been working with has any faults because she can't find one...even Jerry, Jack and Brian like him. Sandra/OC mainly fluff.

The murder Squad needs a new Leader and they want Sandra. There might be a million reasons to take the job but she is looking for one specific reasons to stay.

Strickland has a secret he is keeping from Sandra and he would prefer she never finds out. Unfortunately for him she finds out in one of the worst ways possible.

Is comfortable enough? Sandra is in a horrible mood and Strickland ventures to discovery what is wrong and make her feel better. Along the way he tries to convince her that she doesn't have to settle for just a comfortable relationship. Sandra/Strickland

Strickland is not endearing himself to The UCOS team when he sends them a case that Gerry worked on in 1982. He has no idea how much the case would affect the team in 2018. Can Gerry face his demons and will Sandra and the team be able to be there for him? Will he let them?

Esther has dealt with a lot of heartache during her marriage to Brian, but is she strong enough to handle it when he crosses the line? Warning: domestic violence

After pasta night during ep. 3.1, both Sandra and Gerry start thinking about their feelings for each other.

My own thoughts on what should have happend in Series 5 episode 3? Between Sandra and Gerry! Because everyone loves a bit of Sherry. Please Read and Review.

Sandra didn't seem happy when Strickland called her Sandy.

Was there more than protectiveness behind Gerry's concern for Sandra?

Jack Halford had retired, but that didn't mean he didn't have police work on his mind, and one case in particular. But now he's lost one of his best tools for solving problems. Or has he? I don't own these characters, and the only thing I've retired is a pint of ice cream.

Jack, Brian, and Gerry get a Suprise when a young teen turns up at the office looking for Sandra. who is he? and how does he know Sandra?

Sequel to My Valentine, but can stand alone. About Valentine's Day

"You're your fathers daughter." Strickland mutters as he left Sandra's office. "And like him I don't take sht from jumped up DAC's who think they're above everything."

My take on what should have happened after Big Topped

Steve helps Gerry get over his residual fear of wooded areas, and confronts some of his own demons at the same time. Episode tag to 'Into The Woods'.
