Summary
“Just for 60 seconds, can you eliminate ‘but’ and ‘what if’ from your vocabulary? If they are travelling, we will find out where and meet them.”
“We?”
“You really think I will let you go alone? Next thing I know, you would have hiked the Milford Track and come back without meeting Robbie. Of course, I am coming with you and holding your feet to the fire…”
“I am not that bad."Or James finally plucks up the courage to speak with Robbie face-to-face and share the big revelation, and gets some additional (nice) surprises along the way.

Summary
It is now 37 days since I left Oxford… and I am within sight of what I had thought was my ultimate destination. And now, my feet refuse to move any further. My hands are shaking, my stomach is sinking, and my heart is threatening to thump its way out of my chest. My viscera are ganging up on my mind and forcing it to think – to examine just what I had hoped to achieve through this pilgrimage, what my motivations were.
A glimpse into what might have happened between S7 and S8, and post-S8 into early S9.
Ch 1: James walks the Camino Francés, and with Santiago de Compostela within sight, wonders whether he is there for the right reasons
Ch 2: Meanwhile, back in Oxford, Robbie settles into his new life with Laura... and worries about James
Ch 3: Time for James to face some truths!
Ch 4: DI Hathaway’s carousel of sergeants - viewed through emails and text messages
Ch 5: Despite that planet-sized brain, he hasn’t realised that the job did no more than cause our paths to cross. For the rest, he somehow stepped past any walls I may have erected around my heart as though they just didn’t exist.Series

Summary
But I know, none better, that close calls, like the one he had at Kathryn Dutta’s hands this morning, have the habit of coming back to strike at you when you are least expecting it. The adrenaline rush from survival often defines the first reactions, but the fear will return – vicious and atavistic – to make you question what is the truth… did you really survive, or is it all a dream and you are actually dead? And once you wake up in the middle of the night with that thought, every horror you have banished to the furthest reaches of your mind will resurface, clamouring for attention. To be alone then… no, I cannot let that happen to my lad.
Or Robbie and Shyla look after James following the events of 'Down Among the Fearful' with some help from Laura when a drunken DS Hathaway gets uncharacteristically garrulous and nosy.

Summary
“Vinessa,” James says again, gesturing upward. “The wind. It’s the most consistent of the southern winds. Starts out from the east just after sunset on warm days in early spring, and grows stronger as the night goes on until it dies down after midnight.” He pulls out a cigarette and lights it, blowing a smoke ring out toward the lake where it is soon scattered by the breeze. “They say Vinessa is especially soothing for weary travellers.”
“Do they?”
James nods sagely. “They do.”
“And is that you?” Robbie asks, “a weary traveller?”

Summary
A series of vignettes set throughout S1-S5 of the canon. Loosely connected as the relationship between Robbie and James deepens from one to the next, but each chapter can be read as a standalone story.
Ch. 1: Weathering the darkest days - Hobson and Hathaway conspire to make December 19th a little more bearable for Lewis
Ch. 2: The calm after the storm - The obligatory LBoF fic; told from Lewis' perspective with his characteristic 'how can I fix this' approach
Ch. 3: The dew of little things - A look into James' angsty inner ruminations as Robbie thanks him for his friendship in the aftermath of Monkford's court appearance
Ch. 4: A subtle sweetness in the sun - “Please, Sir, don’t! Don’t look like that. I was lucky – I escaped Mortmaigne and his attentions.”
Ch. 5: Little moments, big memories - It was wonderful to see James’ face as he clasped his lost love to his heart.Series
