I've actually got quite a bit of fic that are starting to coalesce on the hard drive. (Do not ask how many words I've written in three months; it's a little scary). This one is early in the cyle of stories.

Title: The Other Woman
Author: spikewriter
Characters/Pairings: Barbara Havers, Thomas Lynley, OC, Barbara Havers/Thomas Lynley (pre-romance)
Rating: PG
Words: 1,060
Summary: "The words fell easily out of his mouth and he stopped, the realization hitting him hard." Post-series

So, the husband and I have been indulging in some of the Roy Marsden "Dalgliesh" mysteries via Netflix (husband is a Dalgliesh fan) and we're currently watching "Original Sin." In the second episode, author Esme Carling lives in a particular building in London overlooking a bridge and we spend some time in her flat. I kept looking at and suddenly realized it's the same flat Lynley was borrowing in "Limbo." One can tell by the railing that runs along outside the window. No wonder bad things happen there...

Just a bit of silliness. Anyone else catch other Lynley locations used in other programs? (New Scotland Yard doesn't count.)

Title: Just Before the Dawn
Author: roseandheather
Word Count: ~1500
Rating: PG
Summary: The darkest hour is just before the dawn. On the night before their wedding, Barbara and Tommy lay old fears to rest.
Author's Note: For spikewriter, who taught me that angst is not always a bad thing.

( "Do you still want to go through with this?" )

Hello, everyone. I'm new to the community, having recently become addicted to the Inspector Lynley Mysteries and the fun of Tommy Lynley and Barbara Havers. And, well, I've been writing fic, and the first piece that's managed to coalesce properly is below. Hope you enjoy it.

Author Note: Thanks to for the inspiration with her lovely Lynley/Havers fics

It was the less-than-sparkling end to a less-than-sparkling day

Title: Somewhere In My Secret Heart
Author: roseandheather
Rating:  PG (for language)
Pairing: Lynley/Havers
Summary: Love manages. Or: Barbara And Tommy Have A Very Necessary Talk About Their Future.
Author's Notes: REVISED/EXPANDED EDITION!! So I deal with being stuck on a fic by... writing more fic. Go figure. Funny story: "What would you say if I asked you to marry me?" was how my dad first broached the topic with my mum. (Her response was, "Why don't you ask me and find out?" They're celebrating their 25th anniversary next year. :D) Also, the song that inspired this, in part, was "Love Will Find A Way" from The Lion King II: Simba's Pride. Go have a listen!

( "What would you say if I asked you to marry me?" )

Title: In Trust
Author: roseandheather
Rating: G
Pairing: Lynley/Havers
Summary: He really shouldn't be surprised they ended up with the cat.
Author's Notes: So this is apparently what happens when I'm tired, drunk, and missing my cats? IDEK. Enjoy, lovelies. :D The cat in the story is an amalgamation of my own two feline companions, and yes, is based on a real experience I had working with shelter cats. (I was Barbara, and yes, I was also unbearably smug.) :D

( What they find is a long-haired ginger cat with green eyes huddled under the bed, puffed up with fear and hissing for its life. )
