Summary
There are people in this life that you will love enough that you would give up anything for them. Whether you should give it up is a different matter entirely...
(A reflection on an April Fools' prank that might have gone a teeny, weeny bit too far.)

Summary
Blackadder, banker, scourge of both the City of London and regulators everywhere, had thought that unhinged legal threats would be his main problem today. Thanks to Baldrick's novel, actual-kidnapping-based approach to regulatory capture, however, he's now got a significantly bigger, angrier, weaselly, currently handcuffed to his desk and swearing vengeance, problem.
(And for Darling, the worst day of his life has only just begun...)

Summary

Summary
When Edmund Blackadder, bloodied from shrapnel and ears ringing from the shelling, stumbled over Captain Darling's body caught in a tangle of barbed wire, he did not, despite many assurances towards it over the years, laugh, clap, and dance.
Instead, Blackadder took in the dark-wet definitely-not-mud stain spread all over Darling's uniformed chest, the pistol lax in his grip, his unseeing eyes turned up towards the overcast sky, and said, "oh, bloody buggering hell.""Quite," agreed Darling, squinting down at his own corpse; and, despite the unfortunate circumstances, took great pleasure in hearing Blackadder scream like a little girl.

Summary
The past is over, and the future's unclear. Particularly after two unrelated, but equally unsuccessful, schemes blew up in Blackadder's face. In a moonlight flit to escape the consequences of said blow-up, two cowards fled England together. An important question faces them: now what?
The answer, after a pile of old rocks, typhoons, a bit of light treason, some glorious Chicago weather, and an earthquake, turns out to be, of course, Hollywood.
(It also turns out that the most important thing is that they're doing it together this time.)

Summary
After rather successfully blowing up his own life, Kevin Darling is left picking up the pieces. Perhaps he can construct something better from them this time around. But it's hard to build a future when the past is still unfinished business. As is whatever grand scheme that Blackadder's left on the boil for so long...

Summary
Edmund Blackadder's never been a man prone to granting favours, but when two cowards are stuck together on no-man's land (and he can't get Darling to sod off), he doesn't have much of a choice. He'll bury the hatchet to survive, as odious as Darling might be. After all, it's not like they would ever be friends...even if a truce proves to be much, much more useful than he ever expected.

Summary
Kevin Darling got what he wanted: to survive, to return home, to forget the whole mess, and marry Doris. Yes, it was exactly what he wanted. So why does it feel so stifling? Why does he feel like he's made a wrong turn somewhere? And why, exactly, after their paths unexpectedly cross after six years, has he let Edmund bloody Blackadder waltz straight back into his life?

Summary
When Captain Edmund Blackadder died in combat during the first World War, he left no descendants, and his long family line came to an end.
Maybe.
In which Edmund reckons with the generations of Blackadder forebears who have made him who he is, and with the idea -- or, rather, the now irreversible reality -- of continuing the legacy. And maybe finds some love along the way.

Summary
All Darling wanted was to survive. When he wakes up in a military hospital in England after going over the top, he's left with the question of what exactly he survived for. Also with the question of how Blackadder got there and why he's such an annoying git.
A tale of second chances, insults, cowards, skiving, nurses, a fancy country house, war, paperwork, unexpected heroism and falling in love. And of England.
