I’m re-reading ministry 1 and it feels like reading about a couple on the brink of divorce (May and Nuala) who are only still together because of their child (Eric)

Alex and George's tuckbox and a mild touch of Junior Pinkertons slander <3

These were more fun because they aren't many mysteries set at Weston so we don't hear about their tuckboxes so it was left more up to my imagination :) I think they would have letters from Hazel and Daisy and various relatives too!

Alex is trans. because I said so. so there is a hint of trans girl Alex! I headcannon her to have a special interest in space, so that features, along with a telescope she drags George up to the roof with at night when he very much just wants to sleep. I also think she loves American sweets but hates American chocolate, but loves Cadburys.

I headcannon George to have a special interest in beetles, so that features. I like to imagine they get lots of ladybirds round the windowsills, and George tries to create a safe haven before the caretaker comes to get rid of them. I think he has a Scottish mother, who of course sends him tablet. As for the sewing, it has a double benefit in fixing his clothing and calming him.

<3 I wanted to add a box of chocolates to Daisy's, as in the ones the Marys give her, and some Angela Brazil books to Hazel's, but they wouldn't quite fit :)

Do let me know if people are interested in me doing Alex and George's, if I get the time

Happy Birthday Lavinia! Some favourite Lavinia of mine to celebrate:

- in TMFM when they were all in Oakeshott Woods and she was telling them all about owl pellets and badgers #NatureConservationistLavinia

- simply the fact she drives an ambulance

- this isn't a 'favourite' moment of mine as it were, but in JFP when Lavinia (and Hazel) stepped up to take the punishment. Very chivalrous

- That moment where she stole sandwiches for Daisy and Hazel in TMFM

- honestly she was peak in all of TMFM!!!

- if anyone has others please add!

Hello Robin!

I've just seen your instagram post about your editor and the moon - is Mrs Doherty named after her?

She is indeed! There are a lot of Easter egg characters named after people who have worked on my books - Harriet in MAM is named after one of my publicists, Mrs Winstone in BITB is named after another publicist, Miss Morris the art teacher is named after a friend who reads my books and gives me feedback, Detective Leung in ASOM is named after my audiobook narrator, Doctor Cooper in AFT is my agent … and so on!

Headcanons for au where Daisy, Hazel, Alexander, George and Amina have a detective agency together:

-there was some discussion about whether George and Alexander would be allowed in

(Read: Daisy was like 'obviously I need you Watson and Amina is allowed in if course but them? They are our rivals. ' Hazel had to point out that Alexander is the one who can do all the computer stuff and that the rest of them can't even remember where the on button is)

- George organises all the files in chronological, alphabetical and rainbow order. No one can touch them. No one.

- like seriously if George is off sick and they need a file it's just like 'oh well we'll just have to solve the case without it, I'm not incurring his wrath'

- Daisy's desk is a mess but its an organised mess. Alexander's desk isn't recognisable as a desk.

- He once lost a piece of evidence vital to convicting a murderer and had to tear the incident room apart. (He found it dw).Amina is the only one who knows about this and she was sworn to secrecy because he'd never live it down.

- although now she does try to keep him away from anything important

'Alex, could you keep hold of this for me-'

'Oh I'm going over there anyway I'll take it!'

- Nothing on his desk is safe. He is liable to get coffee/ noodles/ blood on important documents (think Donna Noble in Wild Blue Yonder)

-Daisy has a cupboard to herself full of disguises (wigs, hats, glasses- everything)

- she can change outfits up to 5 times a day.

- she INSISTS on having a murder board with string (which George colour codes of course)

'It isn't a waste of space Hazel! It's an excellent visual cue and also its aesthetic!'

(She only really wants it for the aesthetic)

-Hazel keeps the place running but is also the most unhinged

-will calmly walk in after being held at gunpoint for 4 hours and be like 'anyone want a coffee?'

- everyone treats the agency like a crime scene on April Fools Day bc of Amina. Nothing is safe.

- Alexander always gets tricked by her anyway bc he's so naive. Hazel despairs.

Quick Daisy and Hazel sketch

[deepdeanvsweston]

And a Quick George and Alexander sketch. I would outline both but I lack the drive. Got to be honest, they've always been my favourites. Sorry Detective Society!

Entering into the spirit of Mistletoe And Murder by wishing mean people at my uni get their comeuppance 😍😍😍

hi robin just wondering why daisys father and george have the same name?

Upper class men in England seem to have about 3 possible names: George, Henry and Charles. There was bound to be a repeat somewhere!

[deepdeanvsweston]

AFT memes because I've just read and it's sooooo much worse than I remember

[deepdeanvsweston]

MMU wrapped!!!

Christmas shopping

Hmm…lavenders, hazel do you think amina would like these?

@redbreastedbird

[deepdeanvsweston]

Didn't remember Miss Parker and Miss Bell, didn't pick up on Bertie and Harold, didn't realise Daisy was coming out in DITS, but fucking hell did 14(ish) year old me read about Amanda and her very briefly mentioned friend Harriet and think 'oh these 2 are LESBIANS'

[deepdeanvsweston]

George is the kind of person who reads two books at the same time but one of them is a gory thriller and the other is a cliche rom com.

[deepdeanvsweston]

The Holiday Harold/Bertie George/Alexander au where Harold is Iris, desperate to get away from his crush who doesn't care about him job, George is Graham with 2 daughters as a single dad, Bertie is Miles whose ex has just cheated on him and Alexander is Amanda who needs a break from everything <3
