Summary
“Vinessa,” James says again, gesturing upward. “The wind. It’s the most consistent of the southern winds. Starts out from the east just after sunset on warm days in early spring, and grows stronger as the night goes on until it dies down after midnight.” He pulls out a cigarette and lights it, blowing a smoke ring out toward the lake where it is soon scattered by the breeze. “They say Vinessa is especially soothing for weary travellers.”
“Do they?”
James nods sagely. “They do.”
“And is that you?” Robbie asks, “a weary traveller?”

Summary
This, whatever it is between them, is new. A soft, delicate thing that neither of them has dared define or even mention outside the bedroom, though it has been many weeks since Robbie spent a night alone. It isn’t love, not yet, but Robbie can feel his heart leaning in that direction. Leaning toward James every chance he gets, to the point where he’s had to stop himself reaching out at crime scenes twice this past week.

Summary
"Why don't you?" Lewis asks.
They're eating sandwiches on a bench outside the Ashmolean. The sky is a clear, cold blue. Lewis's question appears to have emerged directly from it and dropped into James' lap without a parachute.
"I considered it, sir, but once you turn down MI-5, I don't think they're too keen on you changing your mind."
Lewis knocks his shoulder into James' in reprimand. "Go into academia, I mean. Teach or something."
James looks down at his ham sandwich and back up at Lewis. "And leave all this?"

Summary
James Hathaway often thought that at his christening he must have been cursed, by an underhanded and satirical fairy, with the twin blessings of an excellent memory and an inability to run away from his past.
Written for Lysimache in the 2012 Lewis Secret Santa at the lewis_challenge LJ comm. Rated for some long-awaited sex and a few bad words, overwhelmed by ridiculous amounts of literary allusion and exploratory metaphor.

Summary
"The last thing he can remember of James is a Sir, a very insistent, rather panicked Sir, as the world went dark around him, and then even a Robbie. And things must’ve been bad if James had finally resorted to his name."
Starts very early in canon and progresses through the years.

“Celebrating?” the server asks as she sets plates down on the table.
“Aye, you could say that I suppose.” Robbie isn’t sure what makes pints and fish and chips, or Hathaway’s salad look festive, but the end of this slog of a case, in combination with the gorgeous weather, has put them both in a fine mood. James is positively chipper.
(Or five times Lewis and Hathaway were mistaken for a couple and one time they were.)

"You know, James, anyone who references Forrest Gump and Vergil practically in the same breath --" oh, that sentence should never have been started, it didn't have a single good place to go.
"Has a crack in his soul?" Hathaway suggested.
