Summary
You’ve seen it before. Now spring cleaned.
George Smiley is as sniffy about Bill Haydon's artistic abilities as only a man of his expensive education can be. Yet that treacherous bounder had apparently found his muse in Janice Jones. And perhaps George would too.
The problem was what to do with Albus Dumbledore's disgusting mead.

Summary
Chris shook his head again. “All of it” he sniffed “ever since that bloody scene. I’ve not been sleeping, I can’t eat. “ Burying his head in his hands he went on “My brain feels like it’s on fire.” The words spilled out of him, like once he had started he couldn’t stop. “I can’t even remember how to make a cup of tea somedays. I’m forgetting everything” He hiccuped and then went on. “It’s like something’s broken, and it’s never going to be fixed again.” Quietly, he started sobbing again, dragging his hand across his eyes.
Sometimes, being a police officer is the worst job in the world

The Emphasis is on Coping by thebloodymartianinyourshed

Summary
What happened next seemed to come in slow motion. Gene certainly watched it play out at half speed, dumbstruck by the heavy weight of booze in his system. The car picked up speed as it came down the road. Gradually at first, nothing suspicious. Until it was. Foot down, engine roar, tyres screeching for purchase as the bonnet rose and lurched forward.
Or; they only have one night to solve the case of Sam Tyler's murder

Summary
If there was one thing Gene Hunt knew about himself, it was that he wasn’t any kind of Nancy.
When someone died, he was not the person to be sitting around weeping, nor was he going to go into a four-decade mourning period like the royals seemed to. The best way to honour someone when they died was to raise a quick toast, say a silent prayer if appropriate, and then carry on. The world didn’t stop for the end of one person’s existence.
Or
Gene comes to terms with the loss of his friends

And Don't Think I'm Walking Out of This by MyArmsAreTooLong, thebloodymartianinyourshed

11 Oct 2025
Tags
Summary
Sam put himself between them, hands slightly raised. He couldn’t just wait by while she beat him to a pulp. The way the body from last night went out had been neither quick nor painless. Ronnie didn’t deserve that. Nobody did.
“Just let him go. I think he’s learnt his lesson already.”
Tipping her head, Bernie shrugged and let the crowbar drop. “I was only gonna tell him to stay put. This…” She felt the weight of the bar, trying it out for size. “This is for you.”
Or; a horribly beaten body turns up, Sam Tyler disappears, and Gene Hunt can't sleep

Summary
Antagonising two armed criminals probably wasn’t the smartest move, but clearly they needed some convincing that Sam was a no-good murderer. A bit of brazen antipathy might just work in his favour.
Or; Sam’s undercover, and in over his head
