Share your favourite piece of original canon.
This is a tough one every time I do the challenge because it means I have pick a canon, and my interests are all over the place. So this year I'm going to narrow my focus by specifically choosing a small piece of a larger canon with which I am disproportionately fascinated. It is appropriately an episode called "Part of a Whole."
For those who don't know, which is probably most people, New Tricks is a mystery series about aging, formerly retired police officers solving cold cases. It's a fun show with lots of spot-the-actor opportunities if you've had a 70s and 80s British TV phase, which I have. Anyway, I like it a lot but I didn't really feel fannish about it until I became obsessed with Stephen Fisher, a minor character who is in only three episodes, the last of which being "Part of a Whole."
The even more minor character of Jane Ross, who's only in this one episode, totally captured me. The dialogue between Jane and Stephen absolutely glitters. The shipping potential of Stephen and Robert Strickland is spectacular. There's just so much story between the lines in this one episode. Is it mostly in my head? Maybe. Does that matter? Not really.
Anyway, I wrote a fic and I have a couple of other WIPs.
