    Summary

    This story takes place in something of an alternate universe. It explores what would have happened had Morse made different choices after his break-up with his former partner.

    Please note: I have incredibly little knowledge of what it’s actually like to study at the University of Oxford. I did take a gander at what it’s like to do a defense of a paper. Hopefully this story wound up being accurate. Or thereabouts.

    Also, the little research I’ve done on key events in ancient Greek history was thrown together from a bunch of different sources – mostly Wikipedia, along with some history websites from various schools. (Why lie?) I am far from the most knowledgeable person about the battles of Thermopylae and Marathon. I did some simple looking-up, and cobbled things together the best that I could.

    Thank you.

    Summary

    Morse is having dinner at the end of a shift, when he gets some terrible news.

    I've interposed a much better ending than what really happened. I do like to play around with timelines sometimes.

    Thank you.

    Summary

    "‘And did you fight back?’ said the interrogator. Morse paused. He nodded. ‘There’s no flesh beneath your fingernails,’ said the interrogator. ‘No scratches to yourself...It’s almost as if you wanted it.'"

    When Morse is set upon by grubby hands in the shadow of the colleges, it is up to Thursday to pick up the pieces.

    Summary

    Set in series Nine.

    Morse returns to drink after some time off the habit. Fred finds him in the pub.

    Substantially more full of hope than what happened in the episode.

    I would have been much happier had these things taken place instead.

    Peace and joy to you and yours, this season.

    Summary

    Morse catches up to Joan for that drink. Set in series Nine.

    I refer to something which was also hinted at in the series "Inspector Morse." I changed some of the circumstances, so this story is non-canonical.

    Summary

    Shortly after Morse transfers stations, he bumps into someone he knows.

    This story is set some time after Series 9.

    I don't know much about cricket. Please pardon any errors.

    I wish this sort of thing would happen.

    Thank you.

    Summary

    So, my second favorite show of all time is coming to An End.

    I don't think I'll ever get used to that.

    It may not end this way.

    I wish it would.
