Fandom: Tinker, Tailor, Soldier, Spy / Smiley Series
Rating: G
Characters: Peter Guillam
Word Count: 418

General Summary: Peter has always had a particular relationship with the Circus mothers. 

Author’s Note: Back in December 2012, I tackled the 25 Days of Holiday Fic. This was the prompt for 'Peppermint.'


Peter always had a sentimental place in his heart for the oldest of the mothers - the feared, sharp-tongued women who had been there from the start, some of whom were old as Control and then some - and they for him. For Peter, at least, these women were both their jobs and everything their titles suggested, and while he - in certain company - joked about their fierce protectiveness over their duties and their disdain towards Control’s usurper, he privately caught himself bristling at any derision directed their way.

Fandom: Cabin Pressure
Rating: G
Characters: Martin Crieff, Carolyn Knapp-Shappey, Douglas Richardson, Arthur Shappey
Word Count: 421

General Summary: Sometimes Arthur's surprises aren't just of the rice variety.

Author’s Note: Back in November 2012 a friend asked for "Something Cabin Pressure-y but not too angsty."


"I thought Carolyn promised we’d never do this again." Douglas grumbled the complaint half under his breath as he settled into the back of the cab.

"She did," Martin agreed, shivering and pulling the collar of his worn wool jacket tighter around his neck, "'No more Christmas flights' she said. 'Not after last year’s debacle.'" He sighed, "It must be a big one then." Then, a concerned look slipping over his features, he added: "Arthur must be simply heartbroken."
