smallhobbit | Fandom 50 (34): Spooks (MI5) On and Off the Grid

I began my Love In All Seasons 'verse when

story_works had an amnesty challenge and I selected 'Love Springs Forth' - which also solved the problem of what to call the first in what became a series: Love Springs Forth. I changed the timeline, so that Lucas and Adam first meet at the end of the 1960s, and their relationship blossoms until the late 2000s, when they are happily retired together. Apart from writing various retirement stories, mainly for

allbingo 's regular Winterfest in July challenge, I also like to look at different aspects of life for them through the decades.

Adam raised a glass to Lucas who was sitting on the other side of the table in the restaurant, and said, “To us!”

“To us!” Lucas replied. “It’s been an amazing forty years.”

“I must say Little Venice has changed quite a lot since we first came here. If it wasn’t for the canal, I’m not sure I would recognise it now.”

“And we, of course, haven’t changed a bit. Well, except for the grey hair and not striding out quite as far.”

“And the inability to run for a train.”

“That too. But our love hasn’t changed.”

“Only deepened.”
