    Summary

    Ah, I thought, having to confront at Mr Wooster’s utterance the very description I had taken pains to avoid dwelling on. Mr Wooster had regular nightmares featuring his aunt as a three-headed dragon and in these dreams I was his knight (in shining armour).

    Or, when a rummy dream-sharing epidemic sweeps across the United Kingdom, Bertie and Jeeves learn more about one another dreams than they may have cared for.

    Summary

    “To be altogether honest with you, I’m not exactly sure I could have pulled off the scheme on my own. Deuced difficult to make the leap from roly-poly puddings to aniseed trousers without so much as a tin of sardines.”

    Double drabbles inspired by each episode of the mostly lost 1965 BBC TV series, with a tiny bit of help (i.e. some heavy Wodehousian lifting) from the original stories they adapt and a little play on how they differ from them.

    Summary

    Poirot jumped, and his hand clasped on my thigh, halfway up, his fingers pressing the seam of my trousers into the soft, sensitive, inner part of my leg.

    For some reason every time I recall this case, I pinpoint this as the moment it all started. In reality there are two much better starting points, but I simply can’t drag myself away from the feeling of Poirot’s hand anchored tight around my thigh as we sat close beside each other at the small table of the nightclub, waiting for the performer to begin her act again.

    aka, Hastings-POV case, except then it becomes two cases, and Poirot seems to think there are three cases.

    Summary

    Captain Arthur Hastings of the USS Wordsworth has somehow been whisked back to the Earth of the mid-1930s! Almost the very moment he gets there, he finds himself caught up in the middle of a murder investigation, working alongside the famous detective, Hercule Poirot! But something strange is going on... The murder victim has green blood. It's up to Captain Hastings to find out the truth: What was a Vulcan doing in 1930s London, and who killed her?

    Meanwhile, in the 2330s, the crew of the USS Wordsworth are forced to abandon their search for the captain and turn their battered, malfunctioning ship towards home. With their external sensors malfunctioning, they're flying nearly blind, making it very difficult for the crew to detect the sinister threats that may be lurking nearby... or perhaps the threats that may be lurking right under their noses...

    Perhaps, with the help of a few upstanding members of the crew, Ambassador Poirot can get the USS Wordsworth to reveal her secrets, despite the looming threat of danger...

    Summary

    There’s this thing that happens when worlds are spun upside down. Coins and old receipts fall from pockets, trinkets and fobs slide off of shelves and shatter across the floor. And just when it seems the world has gotten all that it can from the upheaval, it gives a few good shakes just to make sure it’s gotten everything it could out of its inhabitants. That’s how life had been for AJ Crowley for the last 10 years. Everyday it felt as if he were being grabbed by the leg, lifted into the air and just shaken a few times. Just in case he’d anything new in his pockets that the world wanted to claim for its own.

    Azariah Fell was content with his life. He had his bookshop, a couple of close friends, and truly felt as if his life was complete. Until the day AJ Crowley appeared in his shop and turned his world upside down.

    What began as a working business relationship could become so much more, but can a tentative romance survive the trials and turmoil that threatens to tear AJ's world apart? Can two boys bring these lonesome hearts together to keep AJ's family from being ripped from his grasp?
