Summary
It wasn’t that what they did together never varied: it did, always, and that was part of what made it - exciting, he supposed was the word. Bearable, he occasionally thought. Desirable, at least sometimes. But things had changed so much between them since those first frightened times together - good God, was it really more than ten years ago? It wasn’t what it had once been, at any rate: in many ways, now, he didn’t know what it was.
An epilogue to The Lorrington Airlift, and taking up directly where that story ends: Bertie and Gimlet and a first, rather clumsy, post-war attempt to work out just what it might be now. Rated Goblin Brain for self-indulgent fluff and smut.

Kintsugi by Tweague - goblin brain fics (Tweague) for ysande

Summary
Kintsugi: The Japanese art of repairing broken pottery by meticulously joining pieces back together and filling cracks with lacquer dusted with powdered gold, silver, or platinum, thereby highlighting the flaws in the mended object. (Oxford English Dictionary.)
A short coda to 'Abide With Me', set approximately two months after the end of that story; published under the Goblin Brain imprint for pure self-indulgence. Bertie gets a hug, at last.

Summary
“I can do with a rest, if only to sit and look at the sky. I don’t mind telling you that there was a time when I wondered if I should ever see it again.”
- from W.E. Johns 'Gimlet Gets The Answer'.A missing scene from 'Gimlet Gets The Answer', wherein Cub and Gimlet attempt some approximation to life-affirming groping but they're both pretty wretched at it really. I have so many conflicting ideas about how this scenario might go down, but here's one of them.

King's Daemon by Tweague - goblin brain fics (Tweague) for dotsayers

Summary
“Why doesn’t she change?” Bertie cried, his eyes riveted to the struggle above their heads. “If she falls from that height - “
He felt the change through his leg, where Towser had been pressing so close that Bertie could hardly have moved without tripping on him: the sudden shifting as the comforting weight of the dog twisted and lengthened. Then the scrabbling of claws up his leg, the squirrel dashing up and around him as neatly as up a tree trunk, up to his shoulder -
“Because she can’t,” Towser snapped, and in an explosion of whirring wings and a flash of green and brown he leapt from Bertie’s shoulder into the air.
If public schools in the early 20th century were hell, then surely public schools with daemons would be even worse. A self-indulgent remix of my own school-set Bertie & Gimlet fic 'Burning Bridges', but set approximately within dotsayers' Biggles Daemons AU. (Published under the goblin brain imprint not for the usual reason (filth) but for nonsense and pure self-indulgence.)

The Fox by Tweague for ysande

Summary
'There were so many times— in the darkness of night, in an operation, catching an enemy by surprise— the way you’d looked because of that fox would flash before my eyes— and I still killed them, of course, but— but I gave them a clean death, Bertie, the way you would have wanted me to. The way you would have done for me.'
- ysande, 'Thesis, Antithesis'.Inspired by lines in ysande's wonderful 'Thesis, Antithesis' which really didn't require any further elaboration, but my brain refused to stop thinking about them. Gimlet and Bertie and the fox.
WARNINGS for fox-hunting, animal suffering and animal death, though not explicitly described.
