#poirot x you

For all intents and purposes, he looks like a villain as he smiles mischievously, caressing the cat in his lap "That's a splendid idea", he concludes.

Cabin Pressure + Poirot (Part 7)

[thymelessink]

Hastings taking Poirot out on a late night fish and chips dinner date

[rain-shoshana]

Definitely one of my more unhinged song choices for a Poirot x Hastings edit, and I stand by it 100%. Poirot helping Hastings through his PTSD!

[sarkylittlemonster]

Ah yes, my favourite genre. Fruity geniuses.

[evepolastrisgf]

this was INSANE of him.

THAT SMILE. HELLO??? also miss lemon looks absolutely gorgeous, but that damned smile from Hastings would’ve had me on floor, panting like a maniac 😇😇😇😇

I saw your post about writing for Poirot and would you take requests (happy to make it more platonic ofc!) 👀

I do take requests! 🤭🍓 Sorry for the late reply I wanted to put a small imagine with my answer.

Sweet sad memories

◇ Pairing: Hercule Poirot X assistant!Reader

◇ Warnings: it can be seen or platonic or romantic (you choose how to see it), mention of sadness, illness and memories

◇ Summary: Hercule Poirot brings his new assistant with him on the Orient Express.

◇ Note: Sorry for the mistakes and the English.

As Hercule's eye lingered— with a certain affection— on your cleavage, focusing on the necklace you kept always around your neck, his thoughts flought back to Katherine, his beloved lady, the woman with whom he shared his most intense love.

He was lost in the memories just like his eyes when you opened your mouth, letting all your excited self out

"Mr. Poirot!" You greeted cheerfully, referring to your boss with his last name

"How's your room?" you added with a soft smile, you knew that he was feeling a bit ill that day and offered to help him put his things in his train bedroom but he refuses since he was too much of a gentle man.

The old man snapped out of his thoughts as soon as your voice reached his ears— he smiled warmly, glad to have such a positive friend beside him during that travel, but still lost a little in his memories.

"Very convenient... very luxurious... and yours?" He asked politely, his accent pretty heavy as he talked

"It's lovely!" You beamed, smiling excited "It's the first time I have a room in a train" you revealed as you watched the people pass by with enthusiasm before looking back at him

"I'm kind of hungry, would you like to come and eat something with me? We can head to the restaurant car" you offered with a smile.

Hercule smiled a bit more at his friend's enthusiasm, his expression was kind of tired and sad though

"I would be delighted. I am hungry too... But you go ahead and I will follow you... I need few minutes in the bathroom. My stomach is not very happy today" he informed you elegantly, noticing how your face showed a bit of worry

"I will fetch you a herbal tea then, Mr Poirot"

Hercule smiled warmly at you, then entered his room carefully— but not before looking again, with affection, at your necklace.

Felt really sad tonight so I reread my favorite Poirot fic and all is well in the world again. Gonna have to take up bookbinding so I can carry around a mini pocket-sized version to heal me on the go.

[darthlenaplant]

Ngl, I *am* thinking about the possible details on how Poirot and Hastings met in Belgium for the first time for real.

Also thinking about a Modern AU, lowkey kinda like the IDEA that was BBC Sherlock, but of course WITHOUT that particular set of absolute shitfest writing we got there.

May or may not have either both or just Poirot remember his life like in the series (but those things never happened in this world) and the grave mistake he made in losing Hastings and regretting the fact that it simply wasn't possible for him to marry him.

So it's basically half "reborn to try again" (i.e. live in a time where marriage between men is possible and accepted) half "simply modern version of the happenstances of the books. (ABSOLUTELY NO OVERARCHING ARCHNEMESIS BULLSHIT PLOT!!)

Poirot is of course still his chubby, prim and finicky and fashionable self, all about the symmetry, Hastings is still a tall af former British Soldier (I guess he was in the Irak war? Or Falkland? I need to do more research of course) with his car racing hobby (I do wanna see him Tokyo Drift lol), Japp of course our friendly Chief Inspektor and Miss Lemon... on one hand she WOULD be Poirots secretary, but I also think for a modern version she would be the most unusually (by that I mean impeccably) dressed computer whiz (yes, I also DO mean hacker) to ever exist in the 21st century lol. Yes absolutely including the victory curls and stuff.

Which would of course also bring me to how the hell would Poirot introduce Hastings to clients, you know? Like what: "I am Monsieur Poirot, private detective and this is my associate and husband, Captain Hastings" ?

Ya feel me? 🤣🤣🤣

I like seeing Notable Actors pop up in episodes of Poirot, before they were famous. Michael Fassbender, Peter Capaldi, Christopher Eccleston, Jim Norton (Bishop Len Bennan).

[pflanzidiezimmerpflanze]

choices were made

[thekenobee]

ok I'll just send you more ideas for cabin pressure x poirot crossovers as I relisten to eps

Hastings: Poirot's put me in charge of the faxes.

Miss Lemon: Are you sure, Mr Poirot? Because some people do still have fax machines.

Poirot: Yes, yes some people do. We don't though. (not sure yet what scene this would go well with)

Never enough of Cabin Pressure x POiROT!!

“I advise you, Hastings, to go to bed.”

“No,” I said. “Not unless you do. I’m not going to leave you.”

“Most faithful of dogs! But see you, Hastings, you cannot assist me to think. That is all I am going to do-to think.”

I still shook my head.

“You might want to discuss some point with me.”

“Well-well-you are a loyal friend. Take at least, I beg of you, the easy chair.”

-Peril at End House, Agatha Christie

I will never be over this book. I will never be over this exchange. I will never be over these two.
