Summary
Peter and Morse have accidentally moved in next-door to each other, George Fancy is annoyingly new enough for them to set their differences aside, and the "Quartet" case takes their interest.
Peter shakes out a new cigarette. “Bets on this new DC taking your spot as bagman.”
Morse scowls. “He won’t.”
“The gaffer has a soft spot for newbies.” He hopes he doesn’t sound as jealous as he thinks he does.
“I think I know Fancy from when we were both in uniform,” says Strange, unsurprisingly, because Strange knows everyone. “Nice guy.”
“If he turns out to be some annoying little twit you can take him then. I’d rather suffer opera boy than some new twat.” Teaching anyone the ropes sounds like Peter’s worst idea of hell. At least Morse knows what he’s doing and does actually follow Peter’s orders, even when he doesn’t want to.
“I’m right here,” says Morse.
Peter shoots him his best withering glare. “I noticed, opera boy. You haven’t stopped clicking that fucking pen for two hours.”
Morse lifts the pen, keeping direct eye contact, and starts to click it again.

“Peter”. He shook him by the shoulder. “Peter,” he repeated a bit louder, “wake up, it’s morning already”.

Summary
Following the events of "Home", Endeavour Morse is still trying to come to terms with the shooting. This is an alternate story to what happens in "Trove", in which Peter Jakes picks up on the signs of post-traumatic stress in Detective Constable Morse. He knows because he understands.
When Morse dismisses the Sergeant's attempts to support him, Jakes ends up admitting all of his deepest secrets about Blenheim Vale to show that he does - truly - understand.
Join Morse and Jakes as they navigate trauma and begin to understand one another on a deeper level.

Summary
When Morse is abducted and found half dead nearly two weeks later the suspicions go to Oxford’s most recent serial killer- only, he’s supposed to have already been caught. Faced with their failure, it’s up to CID to find the real killer, but with only Morse’s notes, a wrongful conviction, and a missing child to go by it’s beginning to look like Thursday’s bagman may have gotten himself tangled up in a mystery only he was able to solve.

Summary
Chapter 1: He likes to pretend he doesn’t know these things about himself. Like if he acts like they’re not true, aren’t there, then they aren’t. Like they mean nothing. Like he’s not really, secretly—
Chapter 2: He doesn’t feel right, still. Doesn’t quite feel like himself. Doesn’t know how to go back to being himself, and he’s not helping himself in that regard. He’s not—
Chapter 3: He imagines kissing Morse, and then he does, or maybe it’s Morse that kisses him.
It’s after the tiger.

Summary
Peter and Morse have moved in together, it's not all fair sailing. The trials and tribulations of meshing two lives into one. (A story of inconsiderate criminals, late night conversations, holding hands, and a first kiss.)
Peter had thought that they were practically living together anyway but actually forcing them both into the same rooms has proven a lot more difficult than it should have. It really doesn’t help that any time they get to themselves (for example, time to fucking sleep) is broken by the ringing of the telephone and a gruffly apologetic voice on the other end of the line.
“You didn’t even put any toast on.” (He doesn’t whine.) Peter closes his eyes and swallows the dregs of tea, Morse makes a fucking awful cuppa this early in the morning, and when he resurfaces he gets a packet of Digestives thrust in his face, an irritated Morse holding them out.
“Come on.” (Morse does whine.) He turns on his heel and Peter watches him almost trip over the mess which hides one of the sofas. Enough really is e-fucking-nough.

Summary
Peter Jakes can't believe Morse almost got eaten by a tiger, only in Oxford. He supposes it's only natural that Morse would have nightmares about it, although all he can offer is milk and biscuits.
“I don’t know what I’m doing here,” says Morse, but he doesn’t get up.
Peter nudges the packet of biscuits closer to him. “What were you dreaming about?”
“Today.” Morse takes one, his fingers are slightly shaky. “The tiger. What about you?”
“The tiger,” he agrees. Morse looks almost surprised, like he didn’t almost die today, like that’s not worth Peter’s time to be dreaming about.

Summary
Peter Jakes can hear opera music which means one of two things: he has just moved into the flat next to a serial murderer or he has just moved into the flat next to Morse. (He's not sure which would be worse.)
You can always tell when a case is going to be a big one just by the way Morse reads the incident report, something in the way his head cocks to the side like something isn’t quite right and before you know it there’s three more murders, two accomplices, no witnesses, and several instances of police corruption. In the wide and varied opinions and experiences of Peter Jakes, the look on Morse’s face now – mouth wrinkles deepening to icy crevasses, eyes hard and thoughtful, pen stopped clicking – this is a Morse case.
Peter can pick it up too. Four bodies, a note, DeBryn heading to the scene now – It’s a big one. It thrums in the dust dancing in the sunbeams through the window, smudges up against Morse’s ink stained hands, rattles the blinds, fumbles in the silent choke of his cigarette smoke swirling dizzily up to the ceiling. It’s a big one.

i have been reading quite a few jarse fics recently, and discovered a lot of fics where there is morse whump and i wondered if there could be some role reversal where Morse is super protective and Jakes is hurt.

Summary
Morse's gaze softened as he reached up to brush back her hair.
Her very reddish-browny-blonde hair, Jakes belatedly realised, the same shade as Morse's. In fact, looking at them both now, he could see more similarities. The rounded ear tips, the gentle shape of the mouth, the smattering of freckles across the nose and cheeks.
Abigail was, without any uncertainty or doubt, his.
Morse had a daughter.And right when they were in the middle of a serial killer murder mystery, too.
