Sometimes I think that Catherine has the time of her life in my fics.
She travels around the world, develops her hobbies, wears beautiful dresses, and eats delicious food. Well, she's doing it accompanied by an emotionally distant boogeyman who winds her up with his stunts and avoidant phases, but... we all suffer in this world, girl. We all suffer.

Jackson Lamb from Slow Horses is a feedist!
Slow Horses Prompt: Diana's brother becomes Home Secretary, and she's so proud & sees opportunities for collaboration there ... but also she knows the optics of it mean she’ll never be First Desk now.
My two (dum)best slow horses grand finale endings:
- River dies. [REDACTED] does not want their accidental baby. It ends up in Isobel’s custody and she raises it instead.
- Lamb accidentally causes Catherine’s death. He is wracked with guilt but every time he tries to kill himself, something goes wrong and it fails. Somehow, he ends up unwillingly promoted to First Desk. He continues being awful and begins a) committing treason and b) taking baths regularly in hopes that one of them might be able to murder him since he can’t seem to get it done himself.
FULL CIRCLE!!
Nobody's perfect — Chapter 7
Catherine’s aunt is visiting for two weeks and is determined to find her niece a decent partner. Who will it be...?
"Nobody's perfect," Jackson smiled and looked straight into Catherine's eyes. "But you know, Standish," he said, placing the white queen on the board, "I might just be the lucky twat who found a glimpse of perfection."

Slow Horses Prompt: Lamb has always been a drinker, but this time he's really drunk, and Diana needs to stop him from creating a real problem.
Every time I think that Catherine and Jackson have spent more than 20 years side by side, almost every day, it enchants me. What a journey that must have been.
Looking at Catherine in her early sixties, does Jackson still see her as the young blonde woman without fear in her eyes? Or, when everybody else thinks her inner light bulb isn't on anymore, is he still the only one who knows what a Moneypenny she is and what Bonnie and Clyde things she's capable of?
I think he does. And that makes it poignantly beautiful.
Young Jackson Lamb and Catherine Standish 🐌🐎
