Theme: marriage of convenience, kidfic (has kids), AU, fork in the road, small fandoms, domestic, friends to lovers,

Summary: An AU starting from when Joan came to Morse's flat in "Harvest." What if he'd told her what he felt wasn't pity? What if she'd told him about the baby? Things could have been very different. No Series/Season 5 spoilers.

Reccer's Notes: In the show, Morse and Joan have a flirtation and chemistry and some light pining, but nothing ever comes from it because we know from the other shows (Endeavour (TV) is a prequel) that Morse never married. Instead, Joan had an affair with a married man, got pregnant, miscarried due to abuse, became a social worker, and married someone else. There are a lot of AUs where Morse and Joan get together, and this is one of my favorites. When he finds out she's pregnant, Morse asks Joan to marry him, and off they go from there. Both of them have a lot to learn about life together, and I enjoy watching them and their children grow and change.

Theme: trauma and recovery, female characters, character development, fixit, domestic, fork in the road AU

Summary: "Maybe it’s time to stop asking for what she wants, if no one’s going to stop her from simply walking up and taking it."

After the Wessex Bank heist, Joan Thursday puts herself back together.

Reccer's Notes: In canon, Morse has an awkward flirtation with his Detective Inspector's daughter Joan, but nothing ever comes of it. Instead, Joan is traumatized when the bank she works at is robbed, and runs away. In this story, Joan makes a different choice about how to deal with her pain, and everything goes differently from there. I love the way Joan grows, and the difference that it makes for her and Morse.
