Summary
Gimli, freshly-wakened, was lying with his head propped on one hand, his blanket at his waist. And he said, his voice morning-hoarse, "If my memory doesn't fail me, we'll be reaching the River Limlight soon. I'd dearly love a wash."
Legolas's heart seized and tightened. The Limlight was in the very north of the forest, and once across it, they would emerge from their easy wandering, cracking out of the chrysalis to the pain of the open air. No more Fangorn, no more careless peace, no more Gimli at dawn stretching his muscles limber and grumbling about the wear of a bootsole.
And all the future losses lined themselves up.

Summary
He braced himself and turned, dreading another row, wishing there were something he could do. Anything. Could he have turned his fiddle into wind and both epaulettes into lemons, by now he would have done so, and laid it all in Stephen's lap.

Summary
This decision might be considered the luckiest, as standing near Jack meant that Stephen was not alone in his fall overboard.
Or it might be considered the unluckiest, as standing near Jack meant that Stephen was foremost in the splinters' path, when the ranging shot abruptly found its range.

So sweet, with Jimmy come adrift from empty-nest shock, and Duncan being bossy and tender and comforting to him. <3

Henry and Johnny catch a blackmailer—by pretending they've got something to be blackmailed about. Except, of course, no one's doing as much pretending as anybody else thinks they are.

Wonderful pretend-relationship fic, crackling with both the con-artist energy and the energy of barely-repressed desire. I love the sheer pleasure Henry finds in his & Johnny's bond on the job, a level of closeness that's practically orgasmic already (before you even consider the newer physical closeness). Great setting and voices, and such a satisfying resolution. \o/

Bookmarker's Notes
Spectacular story spanning from before Rejseholdet starts, through post-canon, showing how Fischer & La Cour are brought together. The character voices are perfect, the canon events are woven smoothly in, the changes are gradual and natural and by the end SO satisfying. a crack of light into that slowly, slowly uncurling mystery of Thomas La Cour that sometimes seemed like the biggest case Allan had ever assigned himself.

Summary
There had not been time, Gunnar told himself afterward; there had not been any other way. But it was not true. There was always a choice.
(Or: Gunnar is a werebear. Sinbad has some issues with this; and, as it turns out, so does Gunnar.)

THIS STORY IS AMAZING. A wonderful slow-burn with perfect characterization, terrific worldbuilding, spot-on dialogue, hits the Sinbad magical realism just right. And the cherry on the sundae is the emotional story between Gunnar and Sinbad, Gunnar all somber and guilty and trying to hide who he is, and Sinbad all determined and throwing himself against the puzzle until he cracks it--and only then does he realize what that means about his own feelings. So good, so satisfying!

Summary
Fischer returns to Denmark, only to be greeted by a stranger in La Cour’s flat and a murder near the German border. It’s not the homecoming he had hoped for, but at least he’s back with Rejseholdet.

Fabulous case story set post-series with Fischer/La Cour finally getting together! It feels just like an episode, except with the slashy tension finally resolving.
