    Summary

    Jakes drew himself up to his full height and took a threatening step forward, one hand clutching the cigarette too tightly, and the other resting on his cutlass. If anything, this only spurred the brat on further.
    "Go ahead" Morse said, gesturing at the weapon, "Let's see how well that works out for you".
    He took a deep breath, tried to block out unhelpful thoughts of stormy sea eyes, and forced himself to remain somewhat calm.
    "The second we reach land, you're off my ship!"
    "The second we see land, I’ll swim!"

    Or, the one where everyone's a pirate.

    Summary

    This is an excerpt from a previous work "Endeavour: Repertoire Opus 1, No. 2"
    Found here at: https://archiveofourown.org/works/58186225/chapters/148158544

    Sunday December 15th 1973
    “It won’t fit.”
    “It will.”
    “Endeavour Morse, have you ever had a Christmas tree in that house?”
    “…no…”
    “Do you remember what it was like getting the piano through the doorways? You nearly had a litter of kittens, worrying so much.”
    “It fit,” Morse shrugs, jamming his hands in his pockets against the cold, trying to remember if he left his gloves at home or inside the Mini.

    He’s been out of sorts all afternoon: Christmas, and the associated tree- and present- shopping has never been comfortable for him. He’s starting to regret not planning a holiday away like last year.

    Summary

    “Don’t- I…” Morse groaned from his place next to the wall. Even in the dim light, Max could see a gentle trickle of blood from where Morse’s brow had collided with the wall. Morse raised a shaking hand to his now wet forehead. “My head…”

    “Yes, you’ve hit your head,” Max said as he crouched, wary of getting too close, given Morse’s previous reaction to his touch. “How about I take you to the lab and stitch you up, hm? Then I’ll give you a lift home.”

     

    After Dr DeBryn finds Morse injured and disorientated by the side of a road in the dead of night, the two of them struggle to retrace Morse's steps to uncover what had happened to him that night.

    How can Morse investigate what happened to him when there are parts of it that he can't even bear to verbalise?

    Summary

    Detective Constable Endeavour Morse was slumped into the pillows of a hospital bed, staring gloomily out of the window. If this had been a story, the weather would have been crisp, the streets of Oxford adorned with a light dusting of snow, and the air filled with the sound of bells. Instead, it was raining, and the only sounds were the low hum of the hospital’s heating system and the efficient clatter of hospital staff outside his door.

    Summary

    “And, over the course of our story, we see that Enkidu does, indeed, save his companion, Gilgamesh....

    Not from the monster in the Forest of Cedar, nor from the Bull of Heaven....

    But from himself.”

    The new Cowley firm has finally begun to hum like a well oiled-machine—when the theft of a Sumerian tablet, a prison break-out, and a murder in the woods bring fresh challenges that threaten to test newly-formed bonds.

    Summary

    Chief Inspector Thursday had noticed that in the absence of young Constable Morse, work at City Police had been resorted to a glacial snail’s pace. As a result he afforded Jakes the evening off to try and convince Morse to rejoin the force by any means necessary. Anticipating attending one of Joss Bixby’s lavish masquerade balls, Sergeant Jakes finds himself getting swept along, and the evening ends with more than what he bargained for.
