Summary: Charles Partner was excecuted by Jackson Lamb for being a traitor on the orders of David Cartwright in 1996. Catherine Standish found the body.

But when River reveals something to Lamb, Berlin changes.

Charles Partner wasn't a traitor. He was just a guy, maybe too nice for his own good and just like everyone else, that made him a target. It made him easy to pin things on.

I've said it before and ill say it again and now I've written it too. Charles Partner wasn't the fucking mole and youre going to listen to why. Also Diana Taverner is hot, also Lamb and Catherine have too much lore not to write about them.

Many many thanks to @madamspellmans-met-tet for beta reading this and making sure you weren't getting a story about Victorian Slow Horses.

And to @catherinestandishstits who as per usual had to listen to me yap about this every other day
