Summary
"I care about you." "I think a lot of you."
Such words did not come near it, that fierceness with which he held the man in his heart.
He and Morse were just like those alternating lines of light and shadow playing across the blue hospital blanket: Morse shadow where he was light and light where he was shadow.
Morse was the idealist that he wished he might have had the strength to remain. He was the idealist that he was beyond grateful that he no longer was. He was his protégé and—even though he would never tell him this—he had been his best teacher. He was the reminder of why he had gotten into this, of why he still got up to face those bitter mornings, with the dark and the cold.
“I love you,” is what he would say, if a worn old copper was allowed to tell his equally disagreeable bagman such a thing.
But words like those were not for such men as they.

Summary
The shooting made some emotional truths clear to Fred, and to Morse, and now they've got to deal with them in the restrictive framework of their lives. Fred is wrestling with the specter of his own mortality, and the realization that his simply, happy home isn't as settled as he though. Meanwhile, Morse is struggling to regain traction in his life after his faith in the job was shaken, and coming face to face with the realization that his instincts as a compulsive investigator -- and his attachment to his married DCI -- might be at odds with the moral high ground.
This is a Morse/Thursday story, please note the lack of the platonic-familial "&" in the tags and read advisedly. S3 & S4 AU, post Neverland.
"He saw that they were both made that way, greedy for it... Neither could see the specter of it somewhere in their world, along their personal horizon and then turn away from it. Could not walk on from it, even if that would be the wisest, or the kindest course..."
