The
yuletide fics have been revealed! This was my quiet little contribution to the woefully small Wallander fandom.
Title: Letting Go and Holding On
Author:
gloria_scottFandom: Wallander (UK TV)
Characters: Linda Wallander, Magnus Martinsson, Kurt Wallander
Genre: Gen
Rating: PG
Word Count: ~4500
Warnings: None
Summary: After the events of One Step Behind, Linda finds herself a bit smitten by Magnus, but is he really what she needs right now?
Disclaimer: I don’t own them, and there’s no money to be made here.
Notes:
(1) Originally written for
lilybeth84 for the
yuletide 2011 fic exchange.
(2) This is firmly set in the BBC!verse in which we know nothing of Magnus’ private life and he’s not wearing a ring, so book!verse wife and kids are non-existent (although I do draw on some other book!verse details for flavour).
(3) The title is taken from a quote by Henry Ellis: “All the art of living lies in a fine mingling of letting go and holding on.”
