    Summary

    Robert had never owned a home of his own. It seemed silly, really, given what a good investment a house was, and it was even sillier when he thought about it more, because his lack of home ownership had meant that Robert’s various string of so-called homes had been easily ripped from him when life went wrong, and his life inevitably always went wrong. 

    Robert decides to keep Annie's Field, and build himself a home of his own, and somewhere along the way, he makes some friends, develops a love for restoring grotty old furniture (Vic's words - not his) and finds his way back to Aaron.

    Summary

    This developed from a prompt from Sara on AO3 to do a domestic violence fic.
    I decided to challenge myself for it to be between Chrissie and Robert, but with Robert as the victim. The story potentially goes way beyond what Sara originally was thinking of, because as it developed in my head, it turned into a full-on abuse story.

    Summary

    This is a post Canon fic set 10 years after the movie

    Marc is now a Sergeant in Berlin’s criminal investigation police department (KriPo), balancing a promising career and a busy dating life. Even though the one regret in his life remains, Marc believes he has moved on - or so he thought until he sees Kay again by chance on the train one morning.

    Just like before, seeing Kay unravels Marc’s life. It doesn’t help that Kay seems to be doing a disappearing act.

    Their paths cross when a work-related opportunity presents itself, they soon find out how much has changed and how much has remained the same between them.

     

    The story will start with Marc's POV for the first few chapters, then Kay's POV. And a mix of both later on.

    Summary

    This is a canon-divergence story with the assumption that Bettina hasn’t found out about the fake night shifts - so Marc’s affair with Kay remains a secret, even though he has broken up with Kay.

    The story starts from Marc returning home after giving the key back to Kay.

    The story is written in a series of 500-word (roughly) short chapters with alternate POV from Marc and Kay. Each chapter is a snapshot of a particular day in Marc and Kay’s life.

    *rating might change to explicit in later chapters...

    Summary

    This is a post-canon short story.

    Leaving Ludwigsburg, his police career and Marc Borgmann behind, Kay Engel decides to have a new career and a new life. His phone number isn’t new but at least he has the sense to block Marc’s number. Out of sight, out of mind, right?

    Except Marc doesn’t seem to care that Kay isn’t listening. He has made a habit of leaving one-sided messages, treating Kay’s phone like a confessional…

    Summary

    “Oh, jeez mate, you’re joking me!” Adam shouts, slapping a hand over his face and spinning around to have his back to them. Whatever residual heat's left over for Aaron is completely washed out with embarrassment. “It’s the middle of the sodding day! You haven’t even moved in!”

    Robert wants to get Aaron alone in their new home. It’s not working out so well.

    Summary

    “So where are you taking me, then?” Aaron asks, rooting around in his bag for his passport.

    Robert’s driving, stretched out and languid even in a car, one hand on his thigh, the other on the steering wheel. “Nobody’s spoiled the surprise this time around?”

    There’s a wry twist to Robert’s mouth, but Aaron feels momentarily guilty. He’s still gutted they never got to Vegas, but is sure whatever Robert’s got planned will make up for it. “Mum’s not blabbed, you know that."

    Robert brushes a hand through Aaron’s hair. His eyes flick to the road as the cars inch forward a little, but looks back as soon as they’ve crawled to a stop. “Clue: a holiday destination, you love it, I think it’s tacky.”

    or 15k of fluff, porn and soppiness.

    “Are you sure about this?” Aaron asks.

    They’re in the middle of the pub, it’s packed, and Robert’s down on one knee.

    Robert’s probably justified with his, “Are you kidding me right now?”

    “He can’t hear you,” Vic says, touching Aaron’s arm.

    Aaron frowns. “What?”

    “Robert,” she says, gesturing at the blond standing by the bar. "He’s deaf, and he doesn’t wear his hearing aid.”
