Summary
My jaw clenched as I glared at the pin. He stepped closer, and closer still until I had to look up at him. I forced myself to maintain eye contact despite the intense urge to look away.
''Accept this, Edith,'' he said in a low, stern voice. ''For both our sakes.''
A love story set in Nazi Germany.

Summary
“I must say, Malcolm, it really is exciting to see you in action when you aren’t threatening to kill me in whatever creative way your word a day calendar suggests for you.”
“Shut it,” he says, sitting down on an upturned bucket. “Here’s what I need and God help me, apart from Sam, you’re all I’ve got. My boys are all out there completely wankered and more useless than a cactus dildo.”
Malcolm and Nicola end up locked in a cupboard at the Christmas party. It's all a lot less sexy than it sounds.

Summary
Malcolm stops the second he's through the door, stares right at her before demanding, "Am I going to enjoy hearing your explanation for how you've lost your fucking mind?"
"Yes," Nicola says, the bitterness rising in her throat, ignoring Terri standing right behind Malcolm, able to hear every word. "Because clearly that's what happened, I decided to end a twenty year marriage to the father of my kids on a whim. Got me all figured out, haven't you." She wants, so badly, for her voice to stay hard and dismissive, but despite Nicola's best efforts, a wobble slips through right at the very end.
(AU, set during Series 3.)

Summary
aka "don't worry, they f*** in the end." Set in 2016 & 2017, Nicola is thriving & Malcolm is not. A story of awkward histories, awkward conversations, & two idiots who, in spite of everything, manage to get a second chance.
10% Glenn content by volume, please heed the author's notes for warnings & potential triggers, apologies in advance to Ollie fans—I love him but this fic sort of doesn't. No apologies to Olbermann. Played with the ages of Nicola's kids because I wanted them out of the house. Title from Brandi Carlile's Hard Way Home. Chapters 1-4, 9 & 10 are Malcolm's POV, all others are Nicola's.
