The truth of cold cases was that any could become one under the right circumstances. The worst ones were those nobody knew needed investigating until long after everyone involved was gone - Boyd wasn't the sort to shy away because something wasn't easy. What no one had expected was how dark the Sleighberry Killings were or how grateful Boyd would be a derelict house got demolished.

After their first night together, Grace wakes up and is not happy. Fluffy Valentine's Day fun - sorry for the delay. Real life interfered in the form of a broken data cable and a very busy beta reader.

AU: a different take on Fugue State

One week left before Boyd is out of the police force. One last car chase that somehow changes things between him and Grace, and not in a way he had imagined it would. Happy Valentine s Day! And thank you, TheDarkBasement, for the beta! You re the best!

The strain of treatment it taking a toll on Grace, but Boyd finds a unique way to remind her that he loves her. Eighth story in the Communication Series (follows Perspective). Happy Birthday TheDarkBasement :) xx

This wasn't how Boyd planned to spend Christmas. But then a visitor arrives. Happy Festive Season 2024! Enjoy!

It s the first Christmas after Luke s death. Grace refuses to let Boyd spend it alone. So Boyd finds himself in Oxford, of all places! Thank you for the beta, YET again, TheDarkBasement! You re the best! :D

Boyd s waiting for Grace to arrive at work. They have to get to a possible crime scene in the countryside. The others are already at the scene. Answer to a challenge of September 2023 Thank you, TheDarkBasement for beta, yet again :D

Birthday present for Rapunzle1980 My response to a challenge set long ago. Just a fluffy, silly story based on the required challenge words.

This is a long-term project, a story I'm slowly crafting. I wanted to give you a glimpse of the backstory I've been building. Some aspects are still evolving, and others may not even make the final cut. Joe Boyd is not an original character and I'm particularly focusing on the events that transpired between series 1 and 4

Things are changing between them. Birthday present for Scription Addict. Enjoy!

Set after the episode "Substitute". Eve is trying to cope with what happened to Stefan, and someone - somebody - takes it upon themselves to care for her. Thank you, once again, for the beta, TheDarkBasement! :D

What if the injection Linda had given Boyd was meant for Grace?

Being afraid of the dark may be inconvenient. Especially when you are kidnapped and kept in a dark room. How would Grace keep her panic at bay? Thanks once more, TheDarkBasement, for the Beta-read :D

Not part of the timeline I'm working on. Just a short story between two people who end up becoming great friends. A little bit of Boyd too in the end.

Set after "Waterloo". Boyd has difficulties letting go of his need to watch and protect Grace, even though they are now both retired and living seperat lives. Will a relationship be in the cards for them? Thank you once again, TheDarkBasement, for yet another Beta-read :D xx

Boyd and Grace have been together for a couple of months, and it seems to be trouble in paradise... at least for one of them... Just a little fluff. Thanks again, TheDarkBasement, for the Beta! :D

Poems inspired by the characters and events of Waking the Dead. All the characters and events belong to the BBC.

"You do bring me to the nicest places," Grace teases as they survey the concrete and the gloom. An afternoon exploration leads to near disaster and reflection for Boyd. Happy Birthday Joodiff! xxx

It happens in a second. One moment he's blissfully asleep, the next he's awake. Birthday present for Joodiff

It's the first Christmas since the Nicholson debacle and the disbanding of the CCU, and Grace should be happy... shouldn't she? Complete. Enjoy!
