This was very hastily written in an attempt to get it out for Christmas, but I hope you enjoy it. Scarily it doesn't seem like a year since I said this last year but I wish you all a very happy Christmas and thank you for still being out there and reading.

Set immediately following the events of The Burning part 2. What were they thinking?

After the first time, he'd made the mistake of assuming that it meant something more profound than too much wine and poor judgment.

(Fourth time lucky on trying to post this!) I know it's been done before but this is my take on the aftermath of Simone's departure. And a warning - there is a mention of domestic assault.

This is the 1980s and some men in these days were a little…unreconstructed (I'm looking at you Dave!). Dempsey on the other hand is being a bit grown up in this, Harry a bit less so. All comments are very much appreciated, I only wish I could reply. And there's a very short chapter 2.

Dempsey has been away for two weeks and Harry is musing on their relationship. There's a second part to this which details what happens to his flat. Don't know who's still out there reading, but I hope you enjoy!

This began as a series of outsider perspectives but it's become a repository for small stories. Thank you in advance for reviews. *new chapter for Valentine's Day*

Ah, who needs geographical accuracy and a plausible plot, it's Christmas. This is an homage to the greatest Christmas song of all time.

A little Christmas fluff

Harry gets sent on a counselling course which she has not applied for and is furious to find out the reason behind her sudden dispatch to Scotland.

Just a little Oneshot set in the heady days before they finally get their act together. I enjoy reading all your comments and glad to know there is still a readership out there.

Dempsey doesn't turn up as arranged at Harry's house one Friday evening.

It's the fragments that build a relationship; the little pieces of love, attention, desire, mirth; the moments that have no beginning and no end, the laughter, the sorrow, the jealousy, that all twine together to make a whole. **Chapter 13 is possibly/probably rated M...but when I changed the rating the whole story disappeared. So read at your own peril.

Just a little fluffy one-shot, set around the same time as Public Displays of Affection.

Harry needs a grant and a fiancee, whatever will she do? (AU story). "Hey, honey," his face lit up and he wound an arm around her waist." This story is now completed.

Dempsey is in a black mood after a meeting with Spikings. What could have happened to upset him?

I'm reposting this as it seems to have been eaten by the site. Many thanks to those who already reviewed.

I know this is not everyone's cup of tea but this is an alternative ending to Guardian Angel. What if Crazy Joe did shoot Dempsey, seriously but not fatally and Harry had to deal with all her feelings for him in that scenario. Apologies in advance for medical inaccuracies.

For Makepeace being the only woman in a team in the 1980s must have been tough especially when she was feeling hormonal. Thankfully Dempsey has her back.

Set immediately after the Burning. I think Dempsey was quite battered and bruised by the whole experience, not just physically. Being without Harry all that time must have cast him adrift. My first Fic for D & M although I have been reading for a while. There may be another chapter if anyone reads this. Reviews very much appreciated.

My apologies folks, I have two stories called Honey and got the updates in a muddle! Here's the first chapter of this story republished with the full text (chapter 2 benefits from it!) - it is now complete!

Dempsey and Makepeace on a stakeout and BOOM! (Its been a bit quiet here lately so I thought I'd post. I hope everyone's well MJ)

It's New York, it's Christmas and someone has a list to share

Harriet has been sent on an undercover operation and Dempsey is about to put an end to the operation with the rest of the SI-10 team. 6 weeks without his partner, 6 weeks of not being able to protect her, 6 weeks of unanswered questions. What does the future hold for the partners? Thank you so much for the lovely reviews. Keep on reading, things will be kicking off soon :)

He's not sick. At least, in the conventional sense. 'It' happens on the following day, a regular Thursday in March, at eight thirty in the morning as the rain fell. **Thank you for all the lovely reviews! This story is completed!*
