Summary
After finishing production on his film, and in the middle of Christmas break, Cory is fed up with everything: faking smiles for his colleagues who hate him and whisper behind his back while he works at the new UBN studio, answering street interviews about his mother’s involvement in Wolf River, actively monitoring the word “Dumont” in the news for information about Celine, dodging Alex’s not-so-subtle attempts at conversation to give him information about Bradley’s recovery and convince him to visit her. He’s had enough; So, the day before Christmas Eve, Cory makes an impulsive decision packs his suitcase, grabs his passport, and heads to the airport, takes the first flight out and flies to a small tropical island where he doesn’t have to think about the hustle and bustle of New York, or his friends pityingly inviting him to their homes because he’s going to spend Christmas alone, or his dead mother, or his runaway exgirlfriend , or his old and most complicated love. So the premise of a tropical Christmas vacation can help him escape for a moment from the nightmare that is at his life now.
Unfortunately, nothing goes as planned, and he’s stuck sharing a hellish Christmas holiday with the most unexpected person. -

Summary
“But a woman in white, that sounds…” Again, Eddie frowned. “Actually it sounds fairly generic. Isn’t it the title of a Wilkie Collins novel?”
“You’d know better than I would, Your Grace.”
“Have you ever seen her, Geoff?”
The soap slipped from Geoff’s hands. Cursing under his breath, he picked it back up and started wrapping it again. “Never seen a ghost, no.” He paused. “I tell a lie, Your Grace. In Antrim, once, I saw something at the foot of my cot. Just another bloke, sitting there, having a f-” At the last second, Geoff corrected himself. “A cigarette.”
“But you’ve seen nothing at Halstead you couldn’t explain,” Eddie said.
“Oh, there’s plenty at Halstead I can’t explain, Your Grace. Just none of it supernatural.”

Summary
“I know it wasn’t your idea, Susan.”
“Well it wasn’t Jack’s, either, Captain.”
She had him, there, because it wasn’t Jack’s idea: it was Charlotte’s. Charlotte claimed that, while doing some of her recommended exercise, she’d gone up to Jack’s floor for a visit. Upon reading some of the literature left at his bedside about recovering from traumatic brain injury, she’d realised that a holiday at Halstead was just the thing. It offered clean air and quiet, a full-time staff, and a supportive environment. After all, as Charlotte pointed out, if Jack went back to his flat and tried to resume life as usual, he’d soon be carousing with friends all night and set his recovery back weeks if not months.
(“Don’t you think so, Susie?” Charly had asked her, and Susie blinked her wide blue eyes in the way she only did when another person had a surprisingly good point to make, and Eddie felt the jaws of a trap close down over him.)

Summary
A collection of Susie/Eddie drabbles, vignettes and one-shots (because I'm pretty wordy more often than not). Will probably also include some pieces focusing on the other characters of the show.
You give me a prompt and I write it!

It was funny, the things you could miss until all of a sudden a situation pulled them into sharp, inescapable relief.
