Tales of a Turner Man

Pitch of Dreams

Patrick lives out a childhood dream. (And I get to write about a grown-up one)

In Silence

Patrick must come to terms with the effects of that awful adoption interview. A companion piece to The Thing That Matters. From a prompt by LABexperiment on Tumblr.

Part One

Part Two

Part Three

Part Four

His Safety Net

This fic is set at the end of Series 4 Episode 5. Patrick has begun his recovery from his near-breakdown, and Shelagh has found resources within she hadn’t known existed.

I’m going to give this a Three Kettle rating, primarily because of the story’s setting (a bath), However, I think the kettles better reflect a level of intimacy rather than steam, which I think is actually kind of hot.

Not Listening

Patrick should learn to pay attention…

This was my very first fic, EVER.

Night Call

Wherein Patrick gets a black eye, and Shelagh gets…

This is my second ever fic, and you can see the depths of my madness even then.

Catching His Breath

An exploration of Patrick’s thoughts as he learns to understand love. A companion piece to “Trying To Hear God.”

Dearest Friend

What was in those letters? This one makes me sigh. Plus, it’s how I became friends with TurnadetteFanGirl.

A Man to Man Chat

Full disclosure: I’m not a man, I’m not even a boy (see what I did there?). So I may not be fully qualified here.

How Timothy and Patrick find their way to a new family.

Dancing in the Dark

After they make a start, again…

A little steamy, but totally PG. Sorry. 😉

Patrick Makes His Mark

And Shelagh learns to put her stamp on something, too.

Chasing Away the Nightmares

She didn’t let him speak when she should have…

Birthday Wishes

Birthdays can be bittersweet.

The Quiet Game

What to do during naptime?

Patrick Goes to Sunday School

Happy wife, happy life…

Driving Doctor Turner

This one came about as I started to teach My Girl to drive. I completely sympathize with poor Doctor Turner.

The Talk

There comes a time in every father’s life when he has to face certain questions…

Inspired by an anonymous prompt on CtMficpromts.

An Inquiring Mind

One evening, Shelagh asks for clarification from Patrick. Who knew Fred could cause such consternation?

Just a wee bit on the steamy side…

Patrick Makes His Mark

And Shelagh learns to put her stamp on something, too.

Patrick Goes Shopping

This one was the very first prompt challenge for me on Tumblr, I think. The exchange went like this: Anonymous said: Prompt: Patrick buying Shelagh’s engagement ring. BWAHAHA! You’ll never sleep.

A First Time For Everything

The original plan for this was a few one-shots, but it took on a mind of its own, and soon I was in a full-blown, eighteen chapter character study.

There’s a sweet little moment in Chapter that’s inspired by artwork by SincerelyRobinK. Check out her Tumblr blog!

A Man and His Car

Can Shelagh convince Patrick it’s time for a new car?

The Wardrobe

Patrick decides it’s time to move on.
