Author has written 60 stories for MI-5/Spooks, Ruth Galloway Mysteries, and Doctor Blake Mysteries.

Hello everyone,

I am a thirty something mother of two wonderful children, who's lived on three continents but still wishes she could move back to Britain some day. I've spent most of my life believing that I can't write, and I only began writing as a result of my utter devastation at the way Spooks ended. Though I watch a variety of TV shows, it's mostly only the brilliant portrayal of the relationship between Ruth and Harry by Nicola Walker and Peter Firth that inspires me to write.

Many thanks to those of you who have reviewed my fics. Your encouragement and feedback is very much appreciated.

Thanks for reading.

Living In Lockdown by r4ven3 reviews
So I had to put aside the one shot I had already written to post at this time, as this other story kind of barged its way in. I have included one of my own favourite OCs from some other fic I wrote (and I have no idea which fic that was) simply because I liked this OC as a person. It's set at this time in history, assuming our favourite couple made it to 2020. I hope you enjoy.

Deception By Design by r4ven3 reviews
This story opens around 6 weeks after Ruth's death, so this is a post-Ruth's death story, making this AU. It's a serious story, but it has its lighter moments. Characters are a few from S10, plus a number of OCs (because I enjoy writing OCs). It is now a story of 20 chapters.

When I Kissed The Teacher by AndAllThatMishigas reviews
AU. Ruth Evershed has been seconded to MI-5 from GCHQ. Her new boss, however, turns out to be someone from her past. She has no idea how they can possibly work together, or if he even remembers her after so many years. Shouts out to ABBA for inspiring this story and its title and that guest reviewer who shamed me in a review for not making that explicit.

It had been the right decision to refuse Harry a second date; office romances were always doomed. But when a mission on foreign soil pushes Ruth to her limits, lines drawn in the sand become hard to maintain.

AU. Serial nomad Ruth Evershed finds herself in a little town by the sea, wondering if this could be her home. She meets the gossipy but kind townsfolk who all seem to want her to stay and all seem to want to know everything about her. But what of the gruff and somewhat mysterious police chief?

Fallout by r4ven3 reviews
This fic is multi-chapter (of 21 chapters) and set in S10, beginning with the outcome of the Tribunal into Harry's "behaviour" re Albany. While this begins in canon, it doesn't stay there, and I have added a smattering of other characters.

Waiting for the Sky to Fall by VitaSeptima reviews
Leaving is never easy but walking away from a life of secrets is even harder. Ruth was certain that Harry would leave the Service with her, but the road is rocky and littered with wounds. In the pull for a new life, one of them will have to give in. It all belongs to Kudos and the BBC.

Devotion by VitaSeptima reviews
Harry Pearce has alway lived by his own set of commandments. At least that was the case until a certain analyst stumbled into his section.

One Sacrifice Too Many by r4ven3 reviews
I thought it's about time I revisited pre-Cotterdam, and created an alternative to the canon option. This is a fic of 13 chapters, with a slightly different slant on the events of 5.5 and onwards. I have also taken some liberties with the time line, and the appearances (and disappearances) of certain characters.

Welcome Home, Harry by r4ven3 reviews
It's one shot time again! This one is set ten years after the end of S10, in an AU universe. I think it's uplifting, but I'm no judge of my own writing. I rated it T to be on the safe side, given the subject matter is a bit "out there".

The Great Broken Bed Debate by r4ven3 reviews
This is another weekend one shot set after Ruth's return from exile. Other Grid characters feature. Again, the title came to me in the wee hours, and so I had to write something to fit it, (although perhaps "great" is somewhat fanciful and overblown, as is "debate".)

The Woman In Black by r4ven3 reviews
This one shot is (possibly) set in early S10, although it hardly matters, since the Grid and Grid personnel get no mention. This is purely a story of family.

Harry Needs a Hug by r4ven3 reviews
The title of this one shot is what came to me first, in the wee hours of the morning, and the rest simply (or not so simply) flowed on from there. It's not to be taken too seriously. I hope you enjoy.

Doctor's Orders by r4ven3 reviews
OK, so it's the weekend again, and I have thrown together another one-shot instead of working on a fic I've almost finished, but avoiding finishing. Set in AU Land some time in S10, slightly humorous in places, this began with the opening idea, and then ... well, you be the judge.

Conversations With a Ghost by r4ven3 reviews
This story takes place on the evening of Ros' funeral, and is a not altogether serious look at Ruth (in particular) after The Proposal, and how she and Harry are faring. She gets a not-so-gentle shove from an unexpected guest, and the rest takes care of itself. I thought it a good idea at the time of writing. One shot only.

A Place between the Secrets by VitaSeptima reviews
In the world of espionage, nothing is ever as it seems. An unknown woman, missing Intel, an unreliable asset - if anyone can connect the pieces, it's Ruth Evershed. But this time, the man she trusts the most is withholding information and Ruth is left to wonder if there could ever be a place for her and Harry between all the secrets. Everything belongs to Kudos and the BBC.

The Harry Pearce Handbook by r4ven3 reviews

Purple Trunks (Redux) by r4ven3 reviews
Using the team from S9 (minus Lucas) this one shot is a rambling, plotless romp focusing on Harry's underwear, officially for Harry's birthday, while unofficially for no reason at all. Massively OOC and meandering nonsense. It may possibly be amusing to some, while causing others to want to set fire to my laptop. Please don't. I need it on which to write proper, sensible fics.

Who is the woman who has the ability to create such anger in Harry? Ruth is sure it is none of her business.

Something Is Better Than Nothing by r4ven3 reviews
Set early in S9, after 9.1, this is a short story in 4 chapters – a one-shot which got away from me. Harry and Ruth, with no-one else, and no plot to speak of. While not altogether serious, nor could it be classified as humorous, and nor is it original. Just some quite gentle Harry and Ruth.

A new multi-chapter fic starting after Danny's death and continuing on from there. This is somewhat AU in that Harry's still married to Jane, but it does follow along canon lines in terms of ops etc. Kudos still own what's theirs, but I've enjoyed flushing out some of the characters that never made an appearance in canon.

Set about two years after Ros's death, but following a different story arc from S9E1. Rather than change his mind about retiring, Harry doesn't tell the HS to destroy his letter but goes ahead and leaves MI-5. All characters borrowed from Kudos.

A Dream reviews
Set sometime after 9.4, Ruth has a dream that makes her rethink her choices. In honour of Sir Harry's birthday (I'm sure this is exactly what he would have wanted for it), a very smutty one-shot. Characters borrowed from Kudos. Please review if you have a moment.

Another chance reviews
Harry's back at work and Ruth and Nico are now living with him. I originally intended this to be a multi-chapter fic, but it's turned out to be a one-shot. M-rated sequel to Hope Springs as promised (it really makes much more sense if you read that story first). All characters are borrowed from Kudos. Thanks for reading and please review if you have a moment.

Karaoke reviews
Two-shot set near the end of S3. Danny's birthday celebration has unexpected consequences for at least two members of the team. Inspired by a certain photo, this was a lot of fun to write and should definitely not be taken too seriously. All characters borrowed from Kudos for a little bit. Enjoy and please review.

The Right Time reviews
"He looks through the window into her room expecting her to be sleeping. He'd finished his paperwork a little while ago, and even though it's past midnight, he'd found that he couldn't go home without checking to see if she's all right." Harry visits Ruth at the hospital on his way home on the night she fought off and killed the French assassin. AU story set at the end of 9.7.

Fun little one-shot set sometime in season 3 inspired by a recent book discussion in "3-words, 8-letters" and re-watching Spooks Season 1. Hope you enjoy, and if you have a moment, please review.

A postcard reviews
After Ruth leaves England, it takes her a while to find her feet, but no matter how hard she tries, she cannot forget one man, so she sends him a postcard... Set after episode 5.5, this story is very M-rated and is really just an excuse for writing lots of smut, so you have been warned. All characters belong to Kudos; I'm just borrowing them for a little bit.

Hope Springs reviews
When Ruth had left for the second time to return to Cyprus with the boy, continuing had seemed almost impossible for Harry. He'd managed to survive the last five years through sheer strength of will. Now, however, his self-neglect has caught up with him and he's been forced to take leave. Will a chance encounter on holiday bring him the peace and hope he so desperately needs?

We didn't, did we? reviews
When Ruth wakes up in Harry's bed after the office Christmas party is it a disaster, a cause for celebration or a blessing in disguise? AU story with characters from season 8, loosely following the plot from that series and beyond, but mostly containing Christmas fluff with a little angst thrown in for good measure. Reviews are always appreciated.

You're Wrong reviews
Set at the end of Season 9, Episode 1. What if Harry hadn't accepted that they couldn't be more together than they are right now?

Short chapter about Ruth and Harry saying goodbye at the docks and life for them afterwards. Loosely follows Spooks plot. All characters belong to Kudos. Continuation from either of my other stories: Havensworth or Take a Chance

Havensworth reviews
Updated version of the first HR fic I ever wrote as an alternative ending to the scene at Havensworth between Harry and Ruth. Reviews are appreciated. The usual disclaimers apply.

Take a chance reviews
An alternative ending for the scene in which Ros confronts Harry about her father and Ruth comforts him. This was the first fic I ever wrote, and having gone back to read it again, I was inspired to tweak it a little as I found it somewhat lacking in detail. All characters belong to Kudos. Reviews are very much appreciated.
