    Summary

    When investigating the deaths at St. Anselm’s Seminary you make the mistake of confronting the killer alone which leads to Dalgliesh having to save your life after you are seriously injured, but in doing so has Adam put his own life at risk?

    As he tries to hide what really happened from you that evening, you find yourself haunted by dreams of an Adam Dalgliesh that is not entirely human. What makes things worse is a serial killer in Kent who is draining their victims of their blood. As Dalgliesh tries to solve the case he finds himself caught between the powers that be and his own increasing desires for you.

    Could saving you be his salvation or his damnation?

    Summary

    Here is a fanfic no one wanted nor asked for but you’re getting it anyway. Since watching Dalgliesh I’ve been unable to get the idea for this fic out of my head. Seriously it’s been sat in my drafts for nearly three years as I debated if I should post it or not. But after much thought I’ve finally decided to post it. Just hope neither Bertie Carvel nor the PD James estate ever see it.

    Like the series I’ve screwed around with cannon. So Miskin isn’t on the team (Don’t get me wrong I love her, but this fic just didn’t work with her.) As this is sort of a what if Miskin never joins Dalgliesh the events of A Taste For Death play out differently meaning Masterson isn't replaced.

    (A reader self insert.)

    The E Type breaks down in a snowstorm. But luckily there’s a pub being refurbished. Unfortunately you and the very handsome Adam Dalgliesh have to share the only room for the night while you wait for the car to be repaired. At first it’s awkward & you can cut the tension with a knife between the two of you. Soon one thing leads to another and before you know it you’re in bed with your boss but there's no such thing as happy ever after as Adam Dalgliesh should know…

    Summary

    Quite simple really. What if Adam Dalgliesh didn't lose both his wife AND his child. What if the child survived? What would Adam be like as a father? How can he juggle being a copper and a dad? Can he ever let anyone else into his life again?

    Summary

    Adam Dalgliesh hates large gatherings, being forced to make nice to people, expected to be diplomatic and accommodating. In his position as Commander in the Metropolitan Police, he runs the risk of being invited even although most people know his dislike of such parties. Since he lost his family, he hasn't felt like celebrating anything, but when a mix-up occurs and he finds himself requested to attend a New Year event at the Savoy, he finds himself in the predicament of not knowing who to invite. Kate Miskin has long held a torch for her boss, but will she be bold enough to win him, and will Adam make up his mind to accept her?

    Summary

    ‘You look really smart, sir.’ The words slipped out of her mouth almost without realizing it, but at least it had been an appropriate word to say out loud. She would never have forgiven herself if she had said the other one that had come to her mind first.

    ‘Thank you.’ He said and Kate wondered if it might have been embarrassment that hint of hesitation she had heard in his answer.

    Summary

    "Sliver of ice. Graham Greene was right, at least in your case."

     

    "I beg your pardon?"

     

    "The sliver of ice in the heart of an artist. He wrote about it in himself, a few years ago, in an essay." Blanche's eyes sharpen still further. "It keeps an artist detached enough to notice and to use what he sees. But I do suspect, Adam dear, that it's not much use in love."

     

    Adam Dalgliesh has to ask himself some hard questions before he and Kate Miskin take the next step in their romantic relationship.

    Canon-compliant through Series Two "The Murder Room," but diverging after that.

    Summary

    Adam Dalgliesh couldn’t stand readings because the poet could show the vulnerable man hiding behind the police officer.
