Fictober #28, Just Say What You Want

Prompt: Just say what you want

Fandom: The Inspector Lynley Mysteries

Pairing: Barbara Havers/Thomas Lynley

She’s seen her boss go after different women at different times, although that is an unfair phrasing, really. He just happens to be lonely now and then, and who would not be, if they had lost their wife like this, so no one can begrudge him a little fun, and who knows, he might find someone to give his mother an heir after all –

The point is, it is none of her business, so Barbara always keeps away during those times. It never lasts long – two weeks, three weeks and he’ll suddenly be standing at her place with takeout again as if no time has passed, and she’ll let him in because she is weak and wants this, wants to spend as much time with him as he can until – until –

She tells herself that it is inevitable because it is. Seimone liken Thomas Lynley won’t stay alone. It’s a law of the universe that such things don’t happen. And Barbara… she’ll always be his friend. It will be enough. It has to be.

That’s what she thought five years, one year, two months ago.

And then eh started on her.

Or – no, that is unfair. It’s not like he suddenly began trying to seduce her in the middle of the squad room. She can just imagine what Winston would say to that.

But still – it’s –

He compliments her appearance now, never in a creepy or unsettling way, but genuinely, he smiles much more than he sued to, and when he does, his eyes always twinkle in that certain way, and last week, he even made her promise that she’ll accompany to Howenstowe for Christmas, although she was quick to add “If there’s no one else you’d rather take with, sir” but he only laughed –

She would be a fool not to see the signs, that is what it boils down to. She would be and she is not.

And so, she has to figure out what to do. Not that there are many options. It’s not – nothing will come of it, nothing ever does, not when it comes to home and things like that, and even if it did… she’s hardly wife material. So really, whatever happened would just drag on  for a bit and then turn into nothing, but a nothing that would haunt her for the rest of her life, so a nothing that she cannot afford, cannot allow.

But he won’t take no for an answer – but she’s being unfair again. She hasn’t even tried to tell him No, although she’s managed to create a bit of a barrier between them as of late, trying not to drop by his place so often or pretending she’s going out when he suggests coming to hers. Wriggling out of invitations to the pub, that sort of thing, although she always regrets it afterwards, and never does it two times in a row.

Still, he has noticed, of course he has because this is Thomas Lynley they are talking about.

The entire afternoon he’s been talking of some college dinner or another, the sort of thing he attends now and then out of nostalgia, really, and she has been ignoring hints that she should accompany him because what would that look like – everyone would think – God – she can’t just –

 “I don’t think it would be appropriate, sir” is what she finally settles on because it’s the best she can do, it’s the best anyone could do under these circumstances, but for some reason, it’s not enough this time.

Lynley looks at her, then sighs and gets up, coming to stand in front of her and she doesn’t know where to look because she just knows the truth will be there to be read on her face.

“Barbara, I – I like to think we are old enough to dela with this. I think I’ve made it rather clear where I stand. Just say what you want”. She doesn’t think she has ever heard him so defeated, not even after –

But she won’t go there, and who says he even means it like that, of course he doesn’t, what is she even thinking, of course it’s not –

But he’s looking at her in a way no man has ever looked at her before, and she knows this is it. He won’t ask again. She can simply deny that there is anything going on and they’ll always stay friends and colleagues and –

“You”. The word escapes her against her will. Oh god, she’s done it now, how can she possibly look him into the eyes ever again –

And then he kisses her sand all her worries fade away.

Almost all of them. naturally, this can’t last – but why should she not enjoy it for as long as she can?

Later, years later, she will watch him bounce their first grandchild on his knees and laugh about it.

That look... What was he thinking about?

[fanficrocks]

Thank you my friend! You just perfectly described Tommy Lynley and Barbara Havers!

I think we should write more straight relationships with 2010s TV queerbait tactics. Let that man and that woman's lives be horribly intertwined, let them take bullets for the other, let them be each other's meaning but NO KISSING. They are holding each other platonically. You're crazy for reading anything romantic into it at all tbh

I know EG has always said Tommy & Barbara will not be a couple. It looks like she is an ep on the new series, curious to see how it goes. I have always shipped them. Mostly I think because of the chemistry between Parker and Small. What I really want to see is Parker and Small with reoccurring roles on the show, preferably as a couple. Maybe they could be a Superintendent & Chief Super, but she should totally outrank him.

I've just found out that (the news article is from July 2024 but I wasn't aware until last night) there will be an Inspector Lynley Mysteries reboot made by BritBox and I must admit that I have mixed feelings. It is just that I will forever be annoyed that the original series got cancelled too soon and without completing the sixth season. There were usually four episodes per season and only two were made/aired in the final season. The show just ended but didn't have an ending. Nathaniel Parker and Sharon Small will always be Tommy and Barbara to me.

Now, this doesn't mean I won't give the new Lynley a chance. There have been plenty of adaptations of Sherlock Holmes shown on TV from Jeremy Brett, to Benedict Cumberbatch, to Johnny Lee Miller and I've liked each one.

Oh, BritBox streaming service had better keep the OG Inspector Lynley Mysteries to watch once they release the new one.

Pokemon OC: Sharkie

Im not super active in the Pokemon fandom but I got the urge to make my OC and my friends are too enabling so here is my trainer

Region: Sinnoh

Occupation: Training School Dropout / Sales Associate

Battle Initiation: "You can't pin me down!"

Victory: "Told you. Better luck next time!"

Loss: "Almost had it!"

Party: Koffing "Tink" aka "Stinky" "Tinky Boy" "Tinkers" Hounddoom "Elvira" aka "Vivi" "Grumpy Girl" "Gumpy" "Eldritch Horror" Gyarados "Papasito" aka "Papa Cronch" "Croncherino" "Crunchwrap Supreme" Torterra "Piggy" aka "Big Boy" "Pigs" Blissey "Girlie Pop" aka "Miss Thing" "Barbie Girl" "Barbara" Breloom "Chancellor Biggles" aka "Bigglesworth" "Mr. Man"

Bio: Sharkie works on and off at the Veilstone Department Store. She never managed to make it far as a trainer. If you ask her why, she'd say it's too much of a rat race, and she refuses to fit in any mold.

She dropped out of trainer school because everyone was funneled into types and she hated it. She prides herself on not being pinned down to a specific type, whether it's her style or her Pokemon. Approaching her you might think she'd have mostly grass, maybe fairy Pokemon. But she'll keep you guessing with what she sends out next!

Houndor was her first Pokemon found abandoned as a puppy, so they have a unique relationship. Elvira the Hounddoom is almost more of a sister to her, and will listen to Sharkie's commands maybe 70% of the time. But Elvira always comes in clutch when she's needed most.

Don't tell anyone but Tink the Koffing is her favorite. Her baby boy, always at her side. (My actual fav pokemon is Koffing I love him so much shoutout to Koffing) Sharkie has a tattoo of his toxic symbol on her arm, and she doesn't mind his smell. As a haver of IBS she feels a kinship with him in that way, actually. Anyone who has a problem with Tink isn't someone Sharkie is interested in getting to know.

I do love the fact that I'm among quite a lot of fans of British police procedural shows and books (and adjacent genres) who share some or all of the following opinions:-

the police in real life are obviously appalling

so these characters, even when they're fucking up massively and behaving reprehensibly, are still generally unrealistically well-intentioned, compassionate, and competent (in some stories, some of them grapple with colleagues who are more true-to-life, and a lot of drama hangs in that)

all of which is good because otherwise I would not enjoy this genre

but it's so very important to remember that difference because otherwise we end up being far too lenient with real-life police

anyway, I love these characters and because they are decent (if flawed) human beings the job is badly traumatising them, so I would really like them outta there

retirement and/or different jobs for all please so they can thrive and be their best selves!

also hugs which in some cases they keep refusing to give each other which is very annoying

hooray for fanfic which can provide the required different careers and hugs etc.. <3

(This post is, predictably, brought to you by my deep if sometimes frustrated love for E Morse, Fred Thursday, Peter Jakes, Reginald Bright, Shirley Trewlove, Jim Strange, Jimmy Perez, Alison McIntosh, Tommy Linley, Barbara Havers, Robbie Lewis, Harry Nelson, L. Petronius Longus, Shahara Hasan, Sam Vimes, Angua von Uberwald, etc. etc. etc.. (Also Charles Parker and Carrot Ironfoundersson and Hugh Beringar although they are all improbably well-adjusted as well as improbably decent...) Between them they fuck up a lot, oh good Gods (*glowers with affectionate exasperation at Fred and Tommy and Petro especially*), but Even So.)

[dccomicsbracket]

Motivations:

Bart Allen (Impulse), Kon-El (Superboy), Greta Hayes (Secret), & Cassandra Cain (Batgirl)

Three kids who missed out on a childhood. Three lab escapees. Evil family member havers. They all have different relationships to killing also. Cass at one end and Greta at the other. Plenty of reasons to be close and reasons to be in conflict as well. Exploring the nature of predetermined paths based on your circumstances. Thawne, Luthor, Cain and being sacrificed.

Justice League International

Get the team back together! Let them have goofy, heartfelt fun. BeaTora and Boostle can be canon and Max can have his original personality back.

Barbara Gordon (Oracle)

Bring her back as Oracle full time!!!

2023 Character Wrap

Top 9 characters for the year.

1.) Major Anthony P. Havers-BBC Ghosts

aka my soft boy.

(Surprise the self-proclaimed Havers lunatic loves Havers 😉) Just know this man stole my heart in 2021 in under 4 minutes (the microexpressions fml) and this year it was my highlight to see him again. He's kind, protects the man he loves from ridicule, has a boyish grin and a cheeky streak. He likes dancing. He fell for his beau because he was attracted to his kindness. He's been through it and continues to go through it 😢Also PSC answered my question about him and I'm still screaming about it to this day🥺💖

2. The Captain -BBC Ghosts

aka my creaky boy.

He is silly, kind, gay and autistic, a dad, sometimes bitchy and one of my most beloved characters ever. Also so gorgeous and a little bit pathetic. I adore him with all my heart and soul. Blorbo from my shows.

3. Thraxus Boorman -Willow 2022

Sarcastic, great fighter, loyal, kind but he'll jump of cliffs to deny that (literally), the funniest character of 2023 and an absolute iconic bi disaster. He's a classic rogue, as is his absolute badass girlfriend.

4.) Joe Pritchard -The light in the hall

aka Joe, babes

Such a brilliant character, somehow really dark and mysterious but ultimate kicked puppy vibes. He'll keep you (and himself) guessing until the end if he really killed someone. He has amnesia due to traums. I really wasn't sure until the end if he did it or not. Amazing character. My Boy needs 1 million hugs.

5.) Graydon Hastur-Willow 2022

aka Graydon, babes aka Prince of darkness

A prince who loves learning esp. languages, very, very dark past, kind, loving, just some guy in love, easily corrupted but he's fighting it. and as it turns out he has a gift for magic. The sweetest love confession ever.

6. Barbara Parker/Sophie Straw-Funny woman

Gorgeous, hilariously funny, smart, sweet, standing up for what she believes in and makes her way in an industry that only treasures her because of her looks. But she makes them see how brilliant her brain is.

7. Sir Humphrey Bone -BBC Ghosts

aka Humphrey my goldhaas

Awkward, kind and odd. He deserves all the love in the world and to be seen and loved for who he is. This year he's getting revenge on those who ignore/mistreat him and I am here for it. Boy is not the best listener though.

8. Lord Adam Quinn -A kind of spark

aka my pretty evil princess

He is legit evil okay. But idgaf. Great villain and his modern day equivalent makes me weak in the knees. Portrayal wise he is also a small amount of ridiculous and I love that.

9. Robin the caveman - BBC ghosts

aka my chaos gremlin

Kind, wise, chaotic little gremlin also sometimes more the family dog than anything else. Loves space. Utterly hilarious and tragic at the same time. His worst trait is incest according to him. I love him so much I'm gonna get a tattoo that's just about him.

To be fair I have a plethora of beloved characters that rotate in my brain 24/7 but these nine were either new or in special focus this year. Ghosts hyperfixation is at it's absolute peak, I was barely able to watch anything else. Also I watched some things that didn't leave me with a favourite character 🤷🏻‍♀️However honourable mention has to be Allan from Barbie.
