Although I love and honor Martha's writing, I have lingering doubts about the realism of Vows's ending. There has been too much character growth and ShOliver (especially Shane) have waited too long for the moment when she and Oliver are finally one for the Fab Four to go back to the DLO to start another letter. So I give you an alternate ending. Enjoy!

Starts where New Beginnings left off. Postables start families. Set after 'To The Altar' and turning AU due to 'The Vows We Have Made' release. Sorry this story got put on hiatus! Life got incredibly busy and difficult. If you ever had one of those days that you barely had time to eat or go to the bathroom, well it lasted two years. Hope to pick up fall of '23. Thanks for interest.

Now concluded! Disappointed with their Valentine's date, Shane pulls all the POstables into a battle of the sexes. AU, multichapter, set during the events of "One in a Million." Romance, humor. Rated T for adult themes.

Oliver, Norman, Shane, Charlie and Rita discover a mysterious and ancient lost painting. During their journey to France in Paris, the postal detective tries to reconcile Shane with her mother. As the POstables go to the Louvre Museum to deliver their package, Oliver O'Toole makes a surprising discovery. This fictional story is inspired by the Masterpiece episode and historical fact

Joe wants to go camping, but Shane has reservations. Surely there is a way to keep everyone happy?

Shane and Oliver make the most of a long weekend by going camping in the woods. Rated between T and M for mild steamy scenes.

Oliver and Shane walk back after their first official date. The date ends with a beautiful kiss, only to be followed by some bad news.

Oliver never imagined that the day he asked Shane to be his dance partner, his life would change the way it did

It's time for Shane and Oliver together with the other POstables to try something different. Getting out of the freezing Denver winter is a good start. Romance will flourish. Lives will be changed. Love is in the air.

The discovery of two different dresses and their roles in Shane and Oliver's growing relationship. Occurs during From the Heart in between the church meeting and the da-uh-dinner, lol. Part of the canon established in The Days of Mail and Roses and follows its pattern of one chapter per month. So for all those asking for a continuation of DM&R, here you go! Updated 7/1/23!

It's Shane and Oliver's first wedding anniversary, and Shane has a surprise for him. One-shot. Romance and humor. Rated T for adult themes.

A sequel to “Simply Captivating”. This is an alternate storyline to the series, as “Simply Captivating” was written before “The Vows We Have Made” premiered.

The O’Tooles have returned from their honeymoon and are back at work in the DLO. What lost letter mysteries and adventures will they encounter as newlyweds?

I know people have travelled this ground before. I also know that I need to keep at projects I have also started. This is just a little bit of levity in a one-shot. What on earth were the O'Tooles thinking? A new letter mystery immediately following their wedding reception? There is nothing racy here (and if you think so, that is all on you:) )Have fun! (And please review)

How will the POstables respond when faced with a global crisis that affects them professionally and personally? Will Oliver and Shane's wedding and marriage be delayed or will they compromise and change their plans in the midst of uncertainty?

What was Oliver thinking during this pivotal episode and what was his actions outside of the scenes leading up to some of the powerful scenes we witnessed? That is what has always struck me about Dark of Night. I will attempt to lay out my thoughts on this.

Shane never tells us about what happened when Steve comes back and takes her to Montaldo's. She was obviously already having feelings for Oliver back then as we get a glimpse of it during the Montaldo's disaster date. Well, here is my version.

After their honeymoon, Oliver and Shane must navigate the workplace as a passionate married couple. One-shot, set after "The Vows We Have Made." Rated T for suggestive adult situations.

Someone asked for a story about Shane's date with Lester Kimsickle (I can't recall who so if it was you please let me know). Lester is a socially awkward guy who had a tendency to step over the line...often. I hope you enjoy my take on his "date" with Shane.

the morning started as usual, nothing could prepare her for what was about to happen

A ShOliver multi-chapter fic set at the end of The Vows We have Made. While this story's focus is the happy newlyweds, it will also explore the lives of all our favorite characters from the show. (Warning: Sometimes will contain mild, suggestive married adult themes)

What could have happened after Shane, Rita and Norman came back to celebrate Christmas Eve with Oliver.

Surprises await the POstables as they conclude their research and delivery of package contents delayed since the days of WWWII from a father to a son long separated.

What if things had developed differently when Holly went back. What would happen to Oliver and Shane's heart?

Chapters 7-10 of SSD Plane Trust. The POstables continue their work of delivering lost and mysterious items. Norman and Rita help Oliver and Shane. Oliver and Shane share thoughts and feelings.
