Endeavour desperately needed a scene where Win and Joan talk about Morse. You just know they would've done, and Win knew what was up.

AU where everything is the same but Win Thursday is short for Winston Thursday and he's Fred's husband played by Ian McKellen
Tumblr media
Happy Pride Month!
+ Morse seeing these older, happy queer men and realising he's not alone in his own queerness, and he doesn't have to end up frightened and lonely. He ends up confiding in Fred that he's got a soft spot for pretty women AND pretty men. Fred goodnaturedly rolling his eyes and being sure to keep Morse away from anyone who's making doe-eyes at him.
++ Winston being absolutely the blueprint for older grumpy but funny Inspector Morse
+++ Winston and Max Debryn being in a constant battle over who can be the best dressed and most sarcastic at any social event.
++++ Fred and Winston taking both Morse and Peter under their wings and giving them a safe space to be themselves.
+++++ Caroline O'Neill's character still exists but she's married to Dorothea Frazil now
-- The Blenheim Vale storyline is even MORE painful
Thank you @reginaldbright and @gohoubi for the idea!! :D *

In which I ramble about Morse again :D
Oh Morse. The endless dilemma that is this: he constantly feels like he's been abandoned and is alone, from more or less the age of 12 for the rest of his life, but from the moment Fred Thursday chooses him in the pilot of Endeavour, he isn't. From then on he's loved, and constantly has people in his life who have no intention of leaving it; who either don't leave it (Max, Strange, maybe Dorothea, perhaps Joan though that's complicated, Lewis once he arrives), who do so without remotely wanting to (Fred and Win), or who just do for reasons that don't mean any lack of love for him (Jakes, Trewlove, Fred and Win as far as Carshall, Bright, Sam, I assume McNutt). Um, or who he himself fucks up towards so he loses them that way (Monica, Adele). Not to mention the existence of Joyce! He doesn't find a long-term romantic partner, let alone someone he can marry and have children with. But he's always got at least a couple of people who adore him kicking around. <3
I so love the moment in s9 of Endeavour when Fred points out that Jakes always thought a lot of Morse, and of course Morse disputes that, because Jakes to start with was an absolute dick towards him. But as Fred says, Jakes turned up on Morse's doorstep! (I think that exchange really is key: I mean, sure, Fred can be an optimist, but when we see everything through Morse's eyes (which is mostly what we're shown)... oh my do we miss things. Morse doesn't see how much Jakes' opinion of him grows and changes, and that we are given an insight into; what else doesn't he see which we therefore have to infer?
Due to a) his own trauma, b) circumstances, c) the fact that he is monumentally bad at receiving love (and can get really unnerved when people try, so they stop trying), d) that most of the people who love him are monumentally bad at making their feelings clear even when c) isn't in play... oh, but his belief that he's abandoned and alone is utterly sincere and painfully understandable, even while it's also sometimes frustrating to watch. "I'm being left alone, no one I'm close to will still be in Oxford!" MAX. IS. RIGHT. THERE. MORSE. "Thursday is going and I doubt he ever loved me." His heart is breaking, Morse, you're both just idiots and he did the worst fuck-up of his life while trying to save his son.
And honestly, that's... I mean, it's desperately relatable, isn't it? We've all been there, or at least, a lot of us have. In that space where we can't see the love that's in front of us, and where we see rejection where there's none. His trauma growing up and then at college, all the appalling lack of emotional intelligence or openness among, well, everybody around him. The fact that the people he gets on best with are all ultimately really fricking traumatised too and have their own Stuff. There are some agonising mistakes all round, but...
... but ultimately, Max was with Morse as long as he could be. And Lewis was a loyal friend to him from almost the first moment they met. And Strange was with him when he died.
And no one can tell me that Fred Thursday didn't miss him for the whole rest of his life. (Nor that they never wrote to each other! I still think they did. ;-) I also would be unsurprised if Morse gets letters from Trewlove, Bright, and Jakes. :-) )

Today on: outstanding fanfiction concept that I genuinely don’t think I have the time to write - Trans Endeavour Morse
- Morse refusing to go by anything other than his surname because my man will not deadname himself. 
- Refusing medical help from anyone other than a trusted friend 
- Refusing to associate with birth family, and birth family refusing to associate with him 
- Oversized scruffy clothing to hide binding 
- The sheer hurt-comfort potential of the Thursdays finding out (Does Thursday find out when Morse is injured? Does Joan find out because Morse is unexpectedly vulnerable with her? Does Morse tell Win over a cup of tea and get an enormous hug over it?) 
- I love him

Opinions of the Thursday family on other characters played by their actors:-
Win: she's incredibly chuffed that Caroline was in Coronation Street. The whole family sat and watched *The New Worst Witch* and Fred will never ever, ever admit to how flustered he was by the Miss Hardbroom costume.
Sam: would have much preferred Jack to have played Batman, but omfg young Alfred Pennyworth will do, that's phenomenal.
Joan: she and Sam watched s3 of Shetland and s2 of Guilt. Their parents are banned from seeing either. She is rather jealous of Sara's accent.
Fred: "Oh for goodness' sake, why couldn't Roger be playing a Labour minister instead?!" "To be fair, Dad, I can absolutely imagine you declaring that you're bored of this and are going for a Twix." "What has Morse been telling yoooou... HANG ON THAT LIBERAL MAN LOOKS EXACTLY LIKE A MAN THAT TRIED TO KILL ME!" "WHO TRIED TO KILL YOU, FRED, AND WHY DIDN'T YOU TELL ME!??!" Anyway, they all watched that Globe *Tempest* together, and Joan refrained heroically from making pointed comments about Prospero's behaviour with Miranda re Ferdinand (at least Roger's Prospero is a lot less... weird about his daughter than some). Win absolutely doesn't have a crush on both Douglas Richardson and Antoine Verlaque, shut up. Fred's been humming "Stars" from Les Mis under his breath at work and it's driving Morse absolutely mad.
