    Picks up right after the end of THM. Strike and Robin both have a lot to figure out in the aftermath of their confrontation, and a personal case neither was expecting causes Strike to face the biggest specter in his life, and for he and Robin to work on themselves and work together.

    Summary

    "I'll always follow you in," he says, each syllable laced with terrifying sincerity. It is both a truth and a lie rolled into one – a half-truth and a half-lie that concealthe truth at the heart of his being: if Robin were to ask, he would follow her wherever she wished.

    Summary

    “Robin stooped down and began to plant more seeds. She still longed desperately for a tall glass of cold water, but something inside of her had been quenched and comforted all the same.”

    This is an assortment of ficlets inspired by some of the July Drabble prompts – posted with apologies that I started these in August and finished them in December (just!), that these aren’t drabbles and that I’m going for four chapters with three to five ficlets in each (and only seventeen prompts out of the thirty-one). Some of these are set at Chapman Farm and feature supporting characters from ‘The Running Grave,’ whilst others are set at various points in the lives of Strike and Robin.

    Chapter One prompts: Thirsty, Moving, Mothers, Pottery, Sweater.
    Chapter Two prompts: Son, Girls’ Night, Eight, Doctor’s Orders, Competitive.
    Chapter Three prompts: Respite, Mint, Hermit, Old Fashioned,
    Chapter Four prompts: Saxophone, Thirteen, Losing a Bet.

    So, with apologies again for breaking all the rules, this is a selected, assorted and belated response to the July Drabble Challenge...

    Summary

    I started this for my Sekrit Santa project! Wow that long ago. Now I've dusted it off for the August is AU challenge. Added a 2nd chapter, Notting Hill hopefully I'll be completing some other unfinished AU stories throughout the month!

    My Sekrit Santa prompt was
    'Retelling of your choosing featuring Strike and Robin (can be of a classic novel, your favorite movie, etc. Can be only one scene from the original, or more, as you like!).'

    So I decided to visit the Rom Coms of Richard Curtis

    I have one complete for Xmas & one still being written

    I thank HarrogateBelmont for letting me hijack the plot of her lovely story

    Summary

    I wasn't going to participate in the Drabble challenge, but it seemed like so much fun, so here I am. I apologise in advance as my drabbles will all be more than 100 words long.

    Thanks for reading anything I post. And thank you to my lovely gang (you know who you are) for encouraging me to post anything at all. Firefly x

    Summary

    SINOPSIS: Cormoran Strike is the eldest of three orphaned children in London. After they lose it all during the Blitz bombings, their luck will somehow change when they find the generous, kind and upper-class Ellacott family farm in North Yorkshire.
    There are themes of violence, death, cruelty and drama. Also some Strike things had to change, like some names to make it more fitting for the 1940s.
    ABOUT THE AUTHOR: I've always loved Narnia, and felt from childhood a strange pull towards Charles Dickens’ ‘David Copperfield’, ‘Oliver Twist’ and ‘Great Expectations’. I have also been weird enough to feel a strange pull my whole life to World War II stories and accounts. All of that somehow has merged into this Fanfic, to tell stories of war, of tragedy, of love, of friendship, and of survival through what for me were one of the worst times in history.
