Summary
The small tilt of Carl’s head and beginning of a smirk was enough to make Rose slightly—really slightly, really—squirm.
“Tyger,” he repeated. “Is ‘Tyger’ a fucking boxer?”
“He’s a cat. Tyger’s a cat,” Nicola finally intervened, her voice firmer than Rose would have been able to manage at that point. “He’s my cat, and he’s been missing for two days.”
Rose helps DC Wilson in a very specific investigation.

Summary
“I fell asleep for one fucking second, okay? Just one second. Fucking nothing, you know how it is.”
“Aye.”
Sure, he knows. He's seen a lot of fucking nothing, of missed seconds when he was working traffic and had to announce to families that their loved one fell asleep and would never open their eyes again.
Hardy comes to see Carl at the hospital after a car accident. (Part of a series but can be read on its own)

Summary
It's been a year since he started showing up in Carl’s life, with all that competence, and kindness, and smartness, and whatever else the fuck he has going on, and Carl is definitely not encouraging it because if Akram gets any better at anything, it might be Carl’s end. It's been a year, so it should be around twelve notebooks, right? Thirteen, maybe, because they've had many cases.
It looks like a lot more, today.

What Happens in the Car, Stays in the Car by thecharmingquirksofothers
Fandoms: Dept. Q (TV)

Summary
Carl Morck, who had opinions about everything — and offered them freely, whether wanted or not — suddenly went quiet when things got intimate. Not withdrawn, not hesitant. Just… silent. Focused, yes. Present, definitely. But silent in a way that kept knocking Akram off balance.
It didn’t help that he knew Carl could make noise.
He’d heard it. It happened every time they ended up somewhere private but not at home. The car, especially, did something to Carl.
Double Qvember prompt:
Day 26: What happens in the car stays in the car
Day 30: Not a single word spoken -

Summary
Carl and Akram's knack for nonverbal communication is put to the test when they find themselves less alone in Carl's flat than they'd planned on.
(Qvember day 30, triple prompt: "Not a single word spoken," "Trapped," and "Fuck around and find out.")

Summary
"‘So, Akram…?’ Carl raised his eyebrows, shoulders and hands in the universally recognised gesture for ta-dah.
‘I don’t give a fuck who you’re shagging…’ Hardy repeated, ‘except for when it’s Akram.’"~~~
It's hard trying to pursue a closed-door thing with Edinburgh's most guarded man. This is somehow a surprise to Carl Morck. A slightly time-wimey picture of a failing relationship from (a not really-) end to its beginning and everywhere in between.

Summary
Carl sees Akram in action and needs to get some of that, which he goes about in the absolute worst way possible.
