Our Girl short stories

This page is where I will keep all my one-shots and some multi-chapter stories too short to reasonably be called novels. I add them in reversed chronological order so the latest update is always found on top of the page.


Once upon a long time after The Jump

Cover Once

Will the present heal the past, or will the past crush the future?

A story taking place many years after Captain James and 2 section jumped off the cliff in Bangladesh. The past is canon. As usual none of the wonderful characters belong to me but to Tony Grounds and BBC.

The Secret – prequel

Cover prequel

A story about a summer fling between a posh boy and a cockney girl and the long-lasting ripple effects. One-shot about young, innocent love that can be read on its own and somewhere down the line I plan to write the story that follows.

For my own amusement and hopefully yours, the very naughty version of Georgie from She’s nothing but a dirty mind, a player burning bridges as she goes returns in this one-shot. Will she get the revenge on Captain James which she thinks she rightfully deserves?

Despair & Hope

cover

My version of the showdown between Molly and Charles three years after Bangladesh. I finally wanted to tackle the elephant in the room that end of S4 is to me and try to answer the question ‘what the f*** was he thinking’. The story I for long refused to even think of but which ended up being one of my favourites to write.

Cover Where there is

A spin-off to ‘All is fair in love and war’ to explore what happens to those that did not get such a happy ending then. The last in the trilogy that started with ‘Young love – or where it all began’. A story about Elvis, Bones and Georgie, getting different kind of closures.

The Christmas Card

A/U where CJ, based in Afghan over Christmas receives a Christmas card from an unknown writer back home.

Look at me now

cover look at me now

One-shot about being with the wrong person. Charles and Molly set eyes on each other in a club, but he is not there alone. Will they do anything about the bond that instantly is formed and challenge the path that seems paved, or do they not dare to trust what is happening? (A/U)

Young love – our how it all began

Missed Me?

cover missed me 2

Intended as a one-shot of the events and feelings going on in the time between when Molly leaves for her second tour to Afghan until she rings on CJ’s doorbell in Bath, with just a brief re-cap of the past. But the re-cap swelled out more than planned. Maybe as a sort of therapy, cleansing away the ending of season 4, because I loved to relive earlier (in my opinion better) days. If you are not interested in reliving the past with little change other than my take on Molly’s feelings and thoughts added, then you can skip directly to Chapter 4.
