    Summary

    "I knew you were there," Robin says and, holding Strike's hand, falls asleep – at least for a few hours before she wakes during the night, finding herself in an entirely different position.

    (diverges from canon right after chapter 89 in The Running Grave)

    Summary

    The Hierophant, reversed, symbolises rebellion and liberation from rigid structures and rules. It represents a yearning regain control and to break free from the constraints of convention.

    Or: Robin and Cormoran negotiate their lives and whatever awaits them after 'The Running Grave'.

    Summary

    I was re-reading The Ink Black Hear, after finishing The Running Grave, and it struck me how close Strike and Robin are during IBH... and how many opportunities they had for things to move forward in their relationship.

    So, as a writing exercise of sorts, and also because it's so fun writing them, I've developed on 10 moments during the book in which I think they could've gotten together. Some of them are pretty obvious (see chapter 1), some of them, not much.

    All of them are alternatives, so, everything resets chapter after chapter.
