Multi-chapters:
Lunch (18/18, ~65k words) — my take on how Catherine and Jackson's relationship would develop if they started having lunch together. A detailed character study, the story has two possible endings full of strong emotions, adventure, and grief.
Sitting in the Dark (6/6, ~14k words) — a sketch of how Catherine and Jackson spent nights in the dark of his office in complete silence. The two of them are depicted in the early years of Slough House.
Nobody's Perfect (4/?, ~13k words) — a rom-com featuring Catherine's aunt, who is visiting her niece and is determined to find her a decent partner. It's a pure matchmaking thing!
One-shots:
Smoking Hot (1,590 words) — Catherine and Jackson share a cigarette in a very intimate way. Very book-coded.
Through the Looking Glass (3,326 words) — Catherine and Jackson look into the Mirror of Erised, as in Harry Potter, and find reality blending with magic.
On the Opposite Sides of the Barricades (1,432 words) — a story focused on the Diana, Catherine, and Jackson dynamic, with major spoilers for London Rules.
White Tulip (1,641 words) — a sweet story about how good Catherine is at the language of flowers and how good Jackson is at decoding it.
