Summary
You can ask plenty of members of the Metropolitan Police who will assert that it’s my stupid ideas that get me in trouble (especially, to pick an example entirely at random, newly-minted DCI Stephanopoulos) but they’re wrong. Okay, they’re mostly wrong.
Or: Peter can rationalize himself into anything, given long enough. Including a crush on his senior officer.

Summary
And now here Thomas is, in Peter and Beverley's house more nights than not, with a change of clothes he keeps in the dresser, on the regular rota for picking and dropping Laura off when needed, his own spot on their couch and his own bed in their home and it's wonderful, Thomas wouldn't give it up for anything, but--it's certainly unusual.
(Companion fic to sixthlight's excellent places to be, written from Nightingale's POV.)

Summary
Nightingale insisting I finish my Latin homework before he slept with me that morning was cruel enough. Nightingale doing his best to distract me while I was trying to do said homework was simply unfair.

Summary
"Be honest, sir," I said, scrabbling for the left flipper, "I look like a moron."
"I’ve seen you look moronic before, Peter," Nightingale said, flicking the wheel right and sending us careening down a side street and me thudding against the left-hand door. "This does not even, as you put it, 'crack the top ten.'"

Summary
‘In the circumstances, we would like you to, um – if you felt able, of course –’ Nightingale shot a look at Peter, who gave an encouraging nod. ‘To meet up with this chap. Find out what he knows. Undercover, I mean.’
Seawoll blinked. ‘Sorry, what?’
Peter stepped in. ‘We can’t do it, sir. He knows us. And we need someone believable, someone with authority.’
Seawoll gave him a look.
‘What I mean is, this guy’s asking specifically about the Sons of Weyland – they were based in Manchester. So if we could field someone who could credibly pass as an affiliate of Weyland, someone from Manchester, say…’
‘I’m not from fucking Manchester!’ thundered Seawoll, unable to control himself.

Summary
I'm a bit ashamed to say I just stood there staring. Nightingale fought fast, and dirty, and it was probably the adrenalin talking - I hope it was the adrenalin talking - but it was a bit of a turn-on.

Summary
Peter stumbles across some pre-war pornography in the Folly's reading room. He's not entirely sure how he gets from that to Nightingale pontificating about the quality of erotic writing in different languages, conversations about close and not always platonic bonds between wizards and their apprentices, and discovering a whole lot of things Peter hadn't been into before.
And he's been trying so hard not to think about how much he wants to sleep with his boss.

Summary
It was long and thin and clattered against the floor. It was made from pale wood and lacquered darker at the top, forming a handle. I picked it up and twirled it in my hands as the reality of it slowly dawned on me. A cane. An honest to God, “thank you sir may I please have another” rattan cane.

Summary
When Peter Grant is whisked out of unemployment and into a post as Potions Master at Hogwarts School of Witchcraft and Wizardry, he expects the teenagers to be the worst things in the castle. It's a pity Lesley May thinks one of the other new professors might be working for the Faceless Man. And as far as she's concerned, the most likely suspect is Defense expert Thomas Nightingale--gorgeous, talented, and a totally sketchy bastard.

Summary
“Peter,” Nightingale says, “it’s nothing, I assure you, it’s -” he steps towards me as though he’s trying to comfort me but wobbles, swaying on his feet. I lean in to steady him without even thinking about it, catching his elbow and keeping him up, and, as I grab him, Nightingale makes a long, low moan.
“Um,” I say, and Nightingale looks mortified.
