"When Guv decided to stay with the cars rather than join in with the chase, I knew that something was wrong." After George Gently is snatched by a violent criminal, it's up to Bacchus to head the case. But, even after the rescue, the two men have some mutual demons to confront. 10/12-ish chapters.

Series of one-shots about John Bacchus and Rachel Coles in the future. How they got together, their marriage and children. With George Gently looking on in happiness at seeing the life they've created together. (Chapters will be of varying lengths.)

It was a peaceful day for Peter Bacchus, he was quietly reading his newspaper when there is a knock at his door. His son is in hospital, he's been shot and in critical condition. He and John have just started to become close. Is he about to loose his son? (Tag to episode 5x04 and references to episode 5x03).

John has had a bad day at work and Leigh-Anne can't sleep. Set any time post-Series 3. One-shot.

Isabella Gently watches with kind eyes. Set post-5.04 "Gently in the Cathedral". One-shot.

Set after series 6 (although Rachel isn't in this). It is the anniversay of the death of Isabella Gently, so today is not a good day for George. It only gets worse when he is annoyed at John and snaps at John and later regrets this. But later he hears John is hurt and in the hospital and all he wants is to apologise and he discovers just how much he values his friendship with John.

Set between 5x04 and 6x01. George can't imagine solving cases without his Sergeant and friend John Bacchus. Donald McGhee has tried to kill them both, for George is he about to lose his friend? This story is from Gently's POV from that gripping scene in Durham Cathedral.

A bit of prose that came to me after watching this in a maudlin frame of mind.

This morning John is late to work, and naturally George worries that something terrible has happened... One-shot.

John's car's at the garage and it's his weekend with Leigh-Anne – it really is an emergency. One-shot.

Even knowing it was utterly wrong and hopeless and surreal, he was held there by her obvious need for that simple bit of contact.

After encountering what might very well be evil John has questions and George doesn't have answers. Set after "Gently With the Innocents".

Northumberland, 1964. Gently never expected to end up here, but a workaday salvation is better than none at all. One-shot, first series. Gen.

John Bacchus has decided to return to Gently after running off to London. Gently is pleased to welcome his sergeant back, but is not all that happy with some of his behaviour. Warning! Contain disciplinary spanking of an adult.
