Relationship: Dulcie Collins/Eddie Redcliffe/Cath York Rating: E Words: 5010 Summary:

“This is not a good idea, love,” Dulcie says, keeping her tone level. “I know I said I’d try to be more open to change, and I hear and respect your opinion, I truly do, but this is—it’s like the hobby farm. It’s really not going to work.” “I just think,” Cath says, bright-eyed and earnest, “that it would be a healing experience for me. For us both! To share that kind of intimacy. I am committed to working through my anxiety about you fucking your partner and I’m sure that would be so much more manageable for me if we fucked her first. Together.” (Eddie needs a gruck. Dulcie and Cath offer to help her out.)

After writing several G or T-rated Yuletide fics featuring no lesbians whatsoever, this time around I got to dip my toe in the lady pool (as Keeley Jones would say) with some Deadloch F/F/F smut, and I couldn't be more thrilled. Cheers to sephstone for the delightful prompt and to the randomizer for assigning it to me! I almost didn't offer this fandom because comedy is not my comfort zone and I was daunted by the prospect of trying to nail these very distinctive character voices, but the show was absolutely the best thing I saw in 2023 and rewatching it twice for research purposes really brightened up a difficult end to a garbage year.

Chapters: 1/1 Fandom: Deadloch (TV 2023) Rating: Teen And Up Audiences Warnings: No Archive Warnings Apply Relationships: Abby Matsuda/Kate (Deadloch TV 2023) Characters: Abby Matsuda, Kate (Deadloch TV 2023), Sven Alderman, Dulcie Collins, Eddie Redcliffe, Cath York (Deadloch TV 2023), Aleyna Rahme, Skye O'Dwyer, Vanessa Latham, James King, Phil McGangus, Daniela Kehlmann Additional Tags: Post-Canon, Case Fic, Graffiti, Stakeout, Trapped In A Closet, Abby taking charge, supportive kate, Shyness, Kissing, Co-workers, Mutual love of forensics, Bringing each other pastry, Mild Language Summary:

With both ma’ams away in Darwin, Abby’s left on her own to solve a serial graffiti case before it starts to affect Deadloch’s booming new murder-tourism industry. There’s lots of pressure coming from the mayor, and the general populace is as helpful as ever. Meanwhile, all Abby really wants to do is kiss a girl—namely Kate.

*** Kate smiled when she caught sight of the bakery bag. It was Abby’s favorite kind of Kate-smile, the one where Kate’s whole face lit up and her eyes turned an even warmer shade of brown. Abby’s heart started to race again because that’s just what her heart did when Kate smiled at her. Stupid heart.

“Mm,” Kate moaned happily as she pulled the tart from the bag. “You’re too good to me.” The way she said it—Abby’s breath caught in her throat as if her lungs had forgotten how to work. All her vital organs were stupid around Kate.

Dulcie turns on her heel. She doesn’t look embarrassed or awkward about seeing Abby. What she does look is tired: her signature charismatic world weariness, long hair trailing down her back. She’s pale, the wrinkles around her eyes and mouth standing out starkly in the backlit room. She’s so very beautiful. Abby squirms. -wrote the horniest f/f fic ever for my irl wife @gerri-godmother, come along, the water is fine! https://archiveofourown.org/works/51525163

I got inspired and managed to add words to my Deadloch fic. It’s slow going, but at least it’s going!

Have a snippet:

"Please don't apologise." Hannah turns around with a sigh.

"Okay," is all Dulcie manages. She takes another breath and tries to concentrate on the water droplets running off the tiles.

"You don't have to, you know," Hannah continues, "to apologise, I mean. That's what you came here for, right?" There it is again, the tinge of a challenge in her voice.

"No," Dulcie looks down at her hands, tapping her foot nervously. She finally looks up at Hannah, holding her gaze, "no, actually I didn't came here to apologise."

She carefully watches Hannah's face as she starts to unbutton her shirt, waiting for any kind of signal telling her to stop, but there is none, there's just Hannah, leaning against the shower stall by now, observing her.

Having a normal one about Dulcie tonite. I wonder how being stabbed affected her. Like I wonder if for years she finds herself reliving that moment everytime she sees the scar. I wonder if she ever has nightmares about it. And if she did would she tell anyone or would she just repress it like she always does and keep it inside until either it comes to the surface or she’s caught slipping.

#deadloch #spoilers #I love thinking about character trauma my psychologist brain goes crazy insane #This is stuff I wanna cover in my fic the issue is uh I hate writing bc I am so bad at it

One time they’d been out with the rest of their class and Skye had been Vanessa’s buddy, and they’d had to hold hands. Vanessa hadn’t even thought about a thing like that until later, and then she’d washed her hands raw even though it’d been a decade and a half since. How did you apologize for a thing like that? Not just the things you’d done that they knew about, but the things you’d done that they didn’t, when they weren’t even there?

MAN, i am in love with this show. i'm not sure if i'll be writing more fic -- what we got in canon was so perfect -- but i really wanted to spend some more time with vanessa, who i find so deliciously complicated in a way that lends itself to some excellent writing material. and also skye, who i felt would have some opinions about PFLAG mom vanessa.

content warning: this fic touches upon a lot of things that we canonically know happen to vanessa and also skye (the grooming/statutory rape/domestic violence that vanessa experienced, the homophobic bullying/slurs directed towards skye), AND vanessa uses slurs to refer to skye in her internal monologue + some of her memories.

#fic #deadloch #vanessa latham #skye o'dwyer #this fic is!!! a lot!!!!! #i just have feelings about how fucked up and complicated this situation would be!!!!

New Deadloch Fic: In Plain Sight

A slow-build romance leading to polyamory. Rated explicit. Long (84,000 words). Eddie POV. Complete.

Eddie/Dulcie are definitely the main pairing. Eddie/Cath are shown making out once. There is also one Dulcie/Eddie/Cath sex scene at the end but otherwise no Dulcie/Cath or Eddie/Cath is shown (though both are mentioned).

Canon-compliant. Set after the end of the series proper, starting right after Ray’s death. Includes the canon epilogue scene (in which Eddie and Dulcie visit Holly) and then continues after that.

I didn’t like Cath in canon but I think she could get her shit together and be a better person and a better partner, and I’ve leaned into that very hard, while doing my best to also keep her in character.

Important note: the first scene is rough but things don’t stay that way. This is a happy fic overall, with a very happy ending.

See Chapter 1 for content warning.

This was an utter delight to write. Please read and enjoy. I'd love to hear in comments how you respond to it -- all feedback is great, including critique. <3

Lastly, thank you SO MUCH to my absolutely amazing beta, @ratherembarrassing, for help with so many important dialect and character notes. This fic would be such a hot mess without you, and I'm so so grateful for your time and your meticulous attention to detail. <3 <3 <3

This way to the fic :-D

[dead-loch]

thinking about ray pies saying “I go down on women, now” and how fucking awful he’d probably be at it cause it’s a chore or a transaction to him and tbh eddie deserves a quality eating out, such as the kind Cath “speaking of plates, I really want to go down on you tonight” Yorke might offer.
