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?

Set in Series 10, this is a Ruth versus Elena Story, with the same twists and turns, but with a different ending. Because for the last ten years, Ruth has worked at the Home Office and has never met Harry. Starting from the moment that Towers tells Harry to get his head out of the cold war. Something that when he calms down, he reconsiders.

AU. Major Harry Pearce meets a young woman named Ruth. Their lives together will change them both, but for Ruth, the journey will utterly transform her into someone she never dreamed she could be. But with Harry by her side to support and encourage her, she can become all she was born to be.

Harry struggles to cope with Ruth's death with the assistance of his daughter, Catherine. There will be a happy ending, I promise!

Yet another one shot, and again from later in the Spooks story, rather than earlier. Ruth is seriously miffed with Harry, but she doesn't have the full story, and nor does she appear to care about the details. Some plotty background stuff with much misunderstanding.

H/R AU Season 5 - Half a bottle of wine down on a Friday night Ruth considers the consequences of turning down that second date... Now with a fourth chapter.

Completely, utterly AU H/R. Turns out that interest in Harry and Ruth's relationship goes pretty high up...

This is definitely one-shot, in which an underlying plot carries Harry along with it to places he never expected he'd have to go. Told for Harry's POV, this is set early in S.10, with no sign or mention of Russian spies. (And as much as I still enjoy writing, I am running out - or have run out - of ideas.)

*Spoilers for S9* Set between S9 and S10. Harry is at home at a loose end. Until he gets a visitor.
