    Summary

    “It’s really entirely deserted,” I added. “Even in daylight hours, we didn’t pass a single soul along the way.”

    Challenger didn't answer for a moment. He was sizing up the path down, I guessed, although I somehow had the impression that he had not drawn his attention away from me. “Sounds dangerous,” he replied eventually.

    “Oh, absolutely,” I agreed. “It’s a funny thing, though, isn't it? After a night like this, I find that one hardly feels afraid of anything.”

    I again had the sense that Challenger was looking at me intently, as if I had said something quite strange. But naturally a man like him would grasp my meaning. He was, after all, a sailor; he could be no stranger to the wave of fearlessness, of reckless abandon, that sometimes comes in the wake of a close brush with death.

    “Better lead the way, then,” Challenger said, giving a wry grin, and opened the gate to gesture me through.

    ━━━━━━━━━━

    Shared drinks after fireworks. A brief, inadvisable tryst. Hastings gets his heart broken, and Poirot is there to help him pick up the pieces.

    A missing chapter from Peril At End House, and an exploration of the unspoken loyalties and intimacies of the Poirot/Hastings relationship.

    Summary

    On earth, the year is 2335. Arthur Hastings is captain of a Miranda-class science vessel, the USS Wordsworth. Felicity Lemon, his first officer, is 1/4 Vulcan (3/4 human) and is mainly responsible for drawing up duty rosters and assigning ship's systems to the various science teams aboard vessel. She runs the ship with such efficiency that it completely boggles Captain Hastings' mind sometimes.
    Near the end of the second year of their five-year mission, Admiral Japp pays them an unexpected visit...And he brings this short, stout little ambassador with him. This ambassador looks very familiar to Captain Hastings, but he can't seem to place him, especially given how nervous he is about Admiral Japp's insistence that they give the ambassador their 'full and total cooperation during his visit'.
    And it turns out that Ambassador Poirot--who used to be the head of Starfleet Security--is definitely investigating something...but he's being very secretive about it: He won't seem to tell Captain Hastings anything useful about the investigation.
    And Captain Hastings' greatest fears are realised when Ambassador Poirot looks Captain Hastings in the eye and tells him, in a low voice:
    "Hastings. Trust no one."

    Summary

    Durch das Wasser des Sees schienen Lichter zu tanzen. Abrupt bewegten sich grellweiß schimmernde Lichtkegel in alle Richtungen und erleuchteten damit mal das nördliche, mal eines der seitlichen Ufer.
    Marie musste zweimal hinsehen. Sie träumte doch nicht etwa? Von den vielen Erzählungen der etwas Älteren, die sich noch erinnerten, als der See
    jede Nacht so hell erleuchtet gewesen war?

    Ein merkwürdiger Postbote taucht im kleinen Ort am See auf. Ein seit Jahren leer stehendes altes Bauernhaus wird angezündet. Eine alte Dame erleidet einen Herzanfall. Mitten in der Nacht leuchtet der See taghell. Marie entdeckt einen Zusammenhang zwischen diesen Ereignissen, der besonderen Geschichte des Ortes und der dunklen Vergangenheit eines seiner früheren Bewohner - und gerät prompt ins Kreuzfeuer von Ganoven.

    Summary

    If a man was to feel anything as irrational as love (love, that was to say, of a person or something else suspect, not king and country which was only proper), then that man could express that love in two ways:
    • he could undertake acts of forthright and dashing heroism.
    • he could ask the object of his affections for her hand in marriage.
    How to proceed, then, when Arthur Hastings knew himself to be in love with a certain Belgian detective?

    Summary

    "I prefer to think on these things I see," Poirot said. "I do not intend to speak on them until it is time to pass judgement."
    "Your own judgement, or that of the law?"

     

    Holmes shifted to light a cigarette; Poirot could just see his face, in the milky light of the coming dawn.
    "Are they not the same thing?"

     

    Two somewhat broken detectives meet, and perhaps they heal, just a little.
    A canon/Branagh!Poirot crossover; a meeting between a retired Sherlock Holmes and a young Poirot.

    Summary

    It should be a routine transatlantic voyage for the RMS Mauretania, one of the finest ships to be found on the high seas. But a few days into its latest crossing from America to England, a passenger is found murdered in his cabin. There is now a race against time to find the murderer before they escape when the ship docks at Southampton - or, even worse, before they kill someone else. So Captain Arthur Rostron, the Mauretania's master and commander, turns to some rather notable passengers for help: Hercule Poirot, Arthur Hastings, and Tommy and Tuppence Beresford. And they discover that the victim - an ordinary, unassuming man that no one would ever notice - was involved in some very high-stakes thievery: high-stakes enough for someone to want him dead.

    Summary

    I’ve always felt there was clearly something between Hercule and Vera. This is my take on what might have been. (I’ve made them younger and may have adjusted parts of their backstories.)

    Summary

    What if Hercule were younger (46)? And what if Vera Rossakoff (36) joined him on his adventure in Egypt? I will not rewrite the whole episode, but I’m using parts of Agatha Christie's Poirot (with Suchet), specifically Death on the Nile. The focus of this story is not on the case, but on the couple. ;-)
