There's been a nasty cold going around the station. Morse and Thursday have both escaped... until now.

[(Anonymous)]

It took me far too long, but here's a fill for you: http://archiveofourown.org/works/10862607

[(Anonymous)]

Morse/Max, hurt/comfort

[(Anonymous)]

I've got something in mind to fill this, but it is gen, not slash. Morse & Debryn Hurt/Comfort plus a lot of Morse's Oxford backstory. Are you interested in something gen for this prompt?

[(Anonymous)]

Morse accidentally calls Thursday "daddy" and is obviously really embarrassed about it...until he notices Fred is seriously turned on.

[(Anonymous)]

seconded seconed SECONDED!

[(Anonymous)]

Endeavour is held hostage and Fred must come to the rescue

(pairing between them or gen is fine)

[(Anonymous)]

Ok you got me with this one, I'm writing a little something...

[(Anonymous)]

For some reason (mondern AU, time travel, whatever you like), Hathaway meets young!Morse and BOOM things happen.

[(Anonymous)]

I cannot second this one enough. PLEASE, SOMEBODY.

[(Anonymous)]

Thursday feels very forbidden feels towards this young gorgeousness that is Morse and lets something slip when he naps while they're bot at a stakeout. Morse, naturally, is baffled as much as happily surprised about it. Maybe he keeps teasing Thursday with open shirts and messy hair and tight trousers?
(no infidelity please)

Scattered Moments of Shared Desolation (Somewhere between Hathaway/Innocent and Hathaway & Innocent)

[(Anonymous)]

So I'm filling my own prompt, because inspiration unexpectedly struck me. I was really hoping more for secretly-fucking Hathocent happily bickering. And this ended up being quite devastating so I'm sorry for that.

_______________________________________________________________________________

It doesn’t happen often. Once every few months for the most part. Sometimes more, sometimes less. Usually after they’ve been drinking. Only when they are both lonelier than anyone could possibly imagine.


In a contrast to the assertive, tenacious way she handles her professional life, she’s remarkably passive about this, always letting him take the lead when things get physical. If she refuses to instigate this and merely lets it happen, it doesn’t seem like her fault anymore. She won’t have to hate herself anymore than she already does for betraying her marriage vows and overstepping professional boundaries.

Not that she blames him either; she never could.


The sex is never bad; it ranges from adequate to bloody fantastic depending on the circumstances.

But that’s all it ever is and all it ever can be—sex. Anything more and the tentative balance they’ve struck between personal and professional relationships would implode. Besides which, both of their hearts lie elsewhere; that’s how they ended up like this in the first place.

But there are moments when this feels… real.

Sometimes he’ll make her laugh until she climaxes. Sometimes, he’ll wake up and find she’s stolen all the covers. Sometimes, he’ll kiss her slowly and gently, without any hint of lust. Sometimes she’ll fall asleep with her hand sprayed across his chest.

But reality always sets back in. Even if all the professional complications weren’t an issue, there’s still all the personal baggage between them. They know full-well that they aren’t each other’s first-choice; sometimes they worry that they’re each other’s last-resort.

Nearly every time, they swear it won’t happen again.

But it’s far easier to wallow in self-pity and to fall into each other’s beds than it is to take action. They are still too weak to fight for the ones they really love, too lazy and afraid to look for someone new.

They know they both deserve better. Someone to make love to rather than merely someone to fuck in desperation. Someone who can give them more than momentary physical gratification and emotional solace.

All they have now is tiny scattered moments of shared desolation that damages them, even as it heals. Sometimes, they can fool themselves into believing that it’s almost enough.

Jakes/Joan Post-Neverland hurt/comfort (can be gen or shipping)

[(Anonymous)]

Jakes gets Max drunk. Something crazy happens. (Any pairing or gen)

[(Anonymous)]

Morse/Max DeBryn, anything set during the Inspector Morse timeline where they reminisce about people/places/events from Endeavour. Slash, gen, slashy gen -- anything about their shared history would be wonderful <3

[(Anonymous)]

Fred ends up so engrossed in a case he gets pneumonia, and doesn't stop until he collapses at a crime scene.

[(Anonymous)]

SECOND!!!

[(Anonymous)]

Morse/Jakes puppy sitting

[(Anonymous)]

Any characters and/or pairings. Undercover ballroom dancing

[(Anonymous)]

Strange and/or Jakes takes Morse to see the Beatles in concert. Whether Morse is unimpressed or pleasantly surprised is up to filler. Can be gen or shippy

[(Anonymous)]

Hathaway & any character (gen or shippy). James lends a sweater or jacket to a friend who needs it (either due to cold/weather ,wardrobe malfunction, embarrassing stain/tears etc)

[(Anonymous)]

Morse/Bixby --

"He smiled understandingly–much more than understandingly. It was one of those rare smiles with a quality of eternal reassurance in it, that you may come across four or five times in life. It faced–or seemed to face–the whole external world for an instant, and then concentrated on you with an irresistable prejudice in your favor. It understood you just so far as you wanted to be understood, believed in you as you would like to believe in yourself and assured you that it had precisely the impression of you that, at your best, you hoped to convey."

In honour of Femslash February

[(Anonymous)]

Win Thursday/Dorothea Frazil. All that tension has to go somewhere.

Re: In honour of Femslash February

[(Anonymous)]

Ok, I'm filling this. Can't resist as I LOVE Dorthea Frazil. (Can't promise I'll be quick about it though) Even though it's not February anymore. Femslash should be a year-round thing :)

[(Anonymous)]

Laura Hobson and Jean Innocent have dinner together.

Bagging this one as well.

Hathaway/Innocent Erotic Dreams

[(Anonymous)]

Morse and Thursday wind up captured somewhere. Thursday goes into protective mode, and every time the bad guys come to take Morse or do anything to him, Thursday fights them off...even when the cops come to rescue them.

[(Anonymous)]

Omg yes please

[(Anonymous)]

With Sam on National Service and Joan missing, Morse moves in with the Thursdays.
