Title: Take the Long Way Home
Fandom: Ripper Street + Ashes to Ashes
Pairing: Edmund Reid/Alex Drake
Characters: Edmund Reid, Alex Drake, Dick Hobbs; mentions of Mathilda Reid, Bennet Drake, Jane Cobden, Homer Jackson, Molly Drake, Gene Hunt, Sam Tyler
Summary: After being shot in the head, Edmund Reid finds himself in Alex Drake’s police station in 1994. Under Alex’s guidance, he must come to terms with his worst demons, if he has any chance of returning to his own time—and to the daughter he only just recovered. (Thank you to @olivelune for the inspiration!)
Excerpt:
“Drake? Your name is Drake?” 
“My ex-husband’s name.” 
“Ah. I knew a—know a Drake.” Bennet came to mind, and Edmund fell silent, withdrawing into memory. After Bennet came Rose, came Susan, then Jackson. Jane. Mathilda. His sweet girl, finally returned, and now, again, separated from him. She, with Jane, and he, in what appeared to be another world. Another time, impossibly. He fixed this D.C.I. Drake with an investigative gaze. “And you are a police officer?” At her raised eyebrows, he added, “Please excuse me. You are the first female police officer I have ever met.” 
“Right, because women had not entered the force yet,” she whispered, as if to herself, before she refocused her eyes on him. “I hope this isn’t a problem for you.” 
“Not at all. I think it is remarkable. Extraordinary.” He did not say the other word that sat on his tongue: bewildering. He scanned the room and saw a calendar on the desk, half-covered by papers and folders. The year: 1994. His eyes darted to Drake’s face. D.C.I. Alex Drake, female police officer, in the year 1994. 100 years. 100 years? He pointed. “Is that truly the current year?”

Fluffy February - @fluffyfebruary Day 28: Shy Word count: 722 Fandom: Ripper Street Pairing: Homer Jackson/Edmund Reid AO3
“Jackson,” Reid called out as soon as he got home, and Jackson winced at the boom of his voice in the quiet space. “I–”
“Shhh,” Jackson hissed, quiet but definitely loud enough to be heard from the next room.
Jackson turned from where he was crouched on the floor and pressed a finger over his lips as Reid opened the door.
“What is it?” Reid whispered, brows furrowing.
“Small steps, Reid,” he whispered, turning back to the cabinet he was crouched in front of.
He felt Reid walk up behind him, saw out of the corner of his eye as he crouched down beside him, glancing towards him. “Is everything okay?”
“Shh,” Jackson hissed again, giving Reid a stern look. “She’s shy.”
“She–” Reid looked perplexed, leaning in towards Jackson, brows still knitted together. “What do you mean, she?”
Jackson gestured to the gap between the cabinet and the wall, moving back a little so Reid could get a look for himself. He swore he could feel the moment Reid set eyes on the small, dirty kitten pressed into the corner, definitely heard the minute involuntary gasp the other man let out. He grinned as Reid turned to look at him, mouth agape.
“Ain’t she beautiful?” He whispered.
“Where did you find her?”
“Heard her crying in the alley behind the house,” Jackson said quietly, standing up and extending a hand to Reid. “Pulled her out of the mud, cleaned her up a little, gave her something to eat, but she’s skittish. Wouldn’t let me come near her again once I set her down. She ran and hid when she heard you unlock the door.”
“And you intend to keep her?”
Jackson narrowed his gaze as he led Reid over to the couch. “You’re saying she’s not the cutest damn thing you’ve ever seen?”
“We can’t take in a stray.”
“You already took me in,” Jackson teased with a grin, leaning his shoulder against Reid’s.
Reid huffed a laugh, glancing at Jackson before fixing his eyes on the cabinet in the corner once again. “You’re surprisingly low maintenance.”
“So’s a cat. She’ll do her own thing. Just gotta make sure she has food and water and somewhere warm to sleep.”
Reid sighed, rubbing the bridge of his nose. “She is cute.”
As if on cue, the kitten peered out from behind the cabinet, eyeing the two of them warily. Reid leaned forward just a little, lowering his hand to the ground, and Jackson watched Reid’s face light up as the kitten cautiously made its way over to sniff at his hand.
“She likes you,” Jackson whispered, barely daring to move lest he break the moment. Fondness bloomed bright and warm behind his ribs.
Reid’s lips pulled into a smile, a genuine one that lit up his whole face, and damn, if Jackson didn’t already love this man, he would have fallen for him in that moment, was sure he felt himself falling all over again. Then the kitten clawed its way up Reid’s trouser leg and onto his lap, leaving Reid gaping once more, until it curled up in a ball and began to purr, soft and content and still utterly filthy.
“Oh,” Reid gasped, hand hovering before finally settling on the small lump in his lap, scratching behind her ear.
“Think she likes you better than me,” Jackson grumbled, but he couldn’t be mad, not when the sight of the two of them sat together like that made his chest ache in the best way possible.
“Then she has taste,” Reid quipped, but his words were still tinged with awe, his eyes still shining with childlike wonder. “Does she have a name?”
“Hadn’t got that far yet,” Jackson said with a shrug. “Thought I’d let you do the honours.”
“You were so confident I would allow this?”
Jackson snorted before pressing a gentle kiss to Reid’s cheek. “Your heart’s softer than you let on, Reid. Don’t forget I know that.”
Reid sighed, but he was still smiling, eyes still shining.
“Tilly,” Reid said quietly after a moment, turning to look at Jackson with an earnestness he hadn’t been expecting. “For Mathilda.”
Jackson’s throat grew unexpectedly tight as he took in Reid’s words and he nodded, reaching out to brush Reid’s hair back from his forehead before cupping his cheek. “Tilly’s perfect.”

ripper street for the tv asks!
Fantastic! Thank you :)
Favourite character: In this house, we love and protect Detective Constable Albert Flight
Tumblr media
Funniest character: It's a tie between Fred Best and Homer Jackson... nah, it's totally Fred
Tumblr media
Best-looking character: Well, I won't say Flight again (although he's a cutie). So, let's go with the lovely Rose
Tumblr media
3 favourite ships: Oh my, there are a lot... Rose/Bennet (they earned their happy ending); Reid/Jane Cobden (we could have had it aaaaaaaaalllll); but I also like Reid/Deborah Goren, and Reid/Jackson (someone just please love that tragic DI); and Raine/Susan (there is some really nice fic out there)
Least favourite character: See, this is hard, because the caliber of antagonists on this show is just *chef's kiss ... so, I'll say Jedediah Shine (because I could write many essays on his twisted pseudo-father-figure-emotional-blackmail dynamic with Flight)... but damn, if he isn't a great character
Tumblr media
Least favourite ship: Shine/Flight (because, ugh, no thank you please); Reid/Mimi (I'm sorry, y'all... I did not like Mimi as a character); Mathilda/Samuel (because they were kind of boring)
Reason why I watch it: THE WRITING... especially the dialogue. See Silas Duggan's "Men of Old Stone" speech in s2
Why I started watching it: My guess is because after Being Human UK, I wanted to see DaMo (Damien Molony) in as many things as possible. And then I fell into the Void.
Let's Play! Send me a TV show ask game...

Bennet Drake is a good friend
I'm on my nth watchthrough of S3 and just made the connection between something Drake says in S3E4 Your Father, My Friend and a Reid line in S1E2 In My Protection.
Drake identifies himself to a Mathilda in S3E4 by saying, "Uncle Ben, who bought you strawberry ices on Petticoat Lane each Sunday. [...] Each weekend, we would do the same, Mathilda, you and I. 'Strawberry ices with Uncle Ben' is what you would say."
Tumblr media
Back in S1E2, Reid comes on to his wife while she serves soup at the church, telling Emily, "These, er, places, will ever make me think of you. The bells clanging, the faithful falling to their knees. And you and I at home, careless of God, abed in our sweat. I would have those Sundays back."
Tumblr media
Drake babysat Mathilda so Mr. and Mrs. Reid could get it on. O.O
That's a good friend.

Mwahaha, Ripper Street for the ask game 💖💖
i knew you were gonna do this and it does not make it any easier!!
favourite character: i could list so many but i have to give it to fred best and frankie thatcher (also shoutout to the croker boys, abel and nathaniel. i can't post about ripper street without mentioning them)
funniest character: i was about to start debating this then lu said, from across the room: abberline. and she was absolutely right
best-looking character: rose gets all the best lighting, and also susan and mimi
3 favourite ships: drake/reid, frank/magdalena and jackson/susan
least favourite character: chudleigh, 100% no debate
least favourite ship: probably mathilda/drummond because i don't care about him at all
reason why i watch it: it's beautifully shot and the dialogue goes hard, also the theme tune is incredible
why i started watching it: as usual, it's the six degrees of robin hood. i watched spooks because richard armitage was in it, then ripper street because matthew macfadyen was in it

Title: Take the Long Way Home
Chapter: 3
Fandom: Ripper Street + Ashes to Ashes
Pairing: Edmund Reid/Alex Drake; Edmund Reid/Homer Jackson; Edmund Reid/Jane Cobden
Characters: Edmund Reid, Alex Drake, Dick Hobbs, Homer Jackson, Mathilda Reid, Bennet Drake, Jane Cobden; mentions of Molly Drake, Gene Hunt, Sam Tyler
Chapter Summary: Edmund explores his own flat, discovering some of the conveniences of modern life, and begins to open up to Alex.
Excerpt:
Here, too, Edmund spied the familiar. Sofas and chairs, small stacks of books on side tables, the lingering scent of coffee, a closet that held a wool greatcoat for winter, even a fireplace and, beside it, a neat pyramid of wood. But among all that: entirely new inventions that amazed and delighted. 
The bathroom and kitchen, in particular, were vast realms of discovery. D.C.I. Drake tailed him, matching names to never-before-seen items and appliances. He flushed the toilet several times, simply to see it function.

Fluffy February - @fluffyfebruary Day 6: Fire Word count: 720 Fandom: Ripper Street Pairing: Homer Jackson/Edmund Reid AO3
Sorry, y'all, this one's a bit angsty, but it's full of emotional h/c and has a fluffy ending, I promise!
Reid was burning. Agony tore through his chest, his shoulder, his back, his breath caught somewhere in his throat. His head swam, blood rushing in his ears, drowning out the chaotic sounds around him. He couldn’t move, couldn’t breathe, couldn’t speak. He could barely see, but he knew he’d seen Mathilda disappear beneath the murky water of the Thames as he was pinned by fire and flame.
A sob tore its way from his chest and he pushed against the weight pinning him down, heedless of the way it scorched his hands in the process. He had to get to Mathilda, he had to save his little girl. He couldn’t fail her, couldn’t lose her.
“Reid,” A voice cut through the ringing in his ears, distant but insistent. “Wake up.”
He groaned, trying to turn his head, but the pain was too much, and he choked down another sharp sob, squeezing his eyes shut. The next time he pushed, his hands met soft, warm flesh, and his eyes snapped open again.
“Hey,” a soothing voice said by his ear, a gentle hand pushing his sweat-slick hair back off his forehead. “You’re okay, you’re safe, I’ve got you.”
Jackson. It was Jackson who held him, Jackson whom he’d been pushing at, Jackson who’d witnessed his complete lack of control, stuck in the depths of a nightmare that felt more real than his life did most days.
His breath stuttered as hot tears streamed down his cheeks, and he felt shame fill him up.
“You’re okay,” Jackson soothed, careful not to pin him in, gentle but not crowding. If Reid wasn’t already crying, that surely would have set him off.
“Sorry,” he choked out, scrubbing his hands over his face.
“Don’t be.” 
Jackson sat up, warm eyes meeting Reid’s in the dim light stealing through the window.
Reid cleared his throat, forcing himself to take a deep breath, cursing inwardly when it shook on the exhale. He pushed himself up to sitting, wincing at the ache in his shoulder as he did so, and watched as Jackson lit two cigarettes, handing one to Reid. He took it with trembling fingers, but couldn’t bring himself to take a drag, the smoke from his nightmare still feeling trapped in his chest somehow.
“You wanna talk about it?” Jackson asked, resting against the headboard, no longer looking at Reid, instead studying the end of his cigarette.
He shook his head and handed the cigarette back, who took it and stubbed it out without question, and Reid half loved him for it, for the way he didn’t push or needle the way he usually did, for the way he seemed to respect the precarious grip Reid had on his own emotions.
“It helps,” Jackson added after a while, lazily turning his head to look at Reid again. “Or so I’m told.”
Reid snorted, barely a laugh, but it loosened something in his chest nonetheless. “Just old nightmares,” he said with a heavy sigh, pleased to find his breath no longer shook. “Sorry I woke you.”
Jackson shrugged, offering Reid a lazy, half-lidded smile. “S’nothing.” Then, after a beat, “Can I touch you?”
Reid nodded, and almost instantly, Jackson’s arm came around his shoulders between him and the headboard, fingertips brushing the scars on his shoulder as he pulled Reid in against his side.
“You don’t gotta pretend life hasn’t fucked you up when you’re with me, Reid,” Jackson said into his hair, and Reid closed his eyes aginst the threat of fresh tears. “I got you, no matter what.”
Jackson pressed a kiss into Reid’s hair, and he felt himself melting into Jackson’s side, the tension he hadn’t even realised he’d been holding leaving his body in a flood. His breath hitched with a sob, and he pressed his face into the crook of Jackson’s neck.
“I promise it’s not always like this,” Reid murmured against Jackson’s skin before leaving a feather-light kiss to his collar bone. “It’s been months since I last dreamt of…of that day.”
Jackson huffed a laugh, letting his head rest on top of Reid’s, fingers still tracing lazy patterns on his shoulder. “I’m sure I’ll pay you back one day, Reid. We all got demons we try to hide.”
“You needn’t hide them with me, Captain.”
“Nor you with me, Inspector.”

Watching Edmund Reid cavorting in the waves with his daughter in the final moments of Ripper Street’s third season, seeing that pure joy on his face, made me weep.  So rarely have we seen him happy. And now I fear what is to come.
And having Fred Best reading his ‘just in case’ obituary for Reid as a voice over added to the poignancy......because of its eloquence and of course, because of Fred’s fate.
Overall, season 3 ended more happily than the others. But like I said, that can’t possibly last, not in this brutal world.
This show is killing me.
