You know, in spite of the author's label I'd call this Het with a G rating rather than Gen, given the main focus of the fic. There's definitely a m/f romance, and it's even tagged with "infidelity."
Agreed, we need more Gregson fic of all types.

thanks; I updated the entry. Though one of the things I like about the story is that there's room to quibble with you over whether or not there *is* a m/f romance in the fic (or infidelity, for that matter) if it's all inside Gregson's head...

I was just making a comment. When I clicked through, I was hoping for more general background on Gregson as a character. He's such a solid guy in this show and I can't understand the lack of fic for him.

I agree on the questionable fulfillment of fantasy--whether or not it happened--but the main focus of the story is Gregson's feeling about his marriage and a desired relationship with a woman, so that's Het to me.

oh, I appreciated the comment! I agree with your reasoning for calling it Het, and I agree with what I presume to be author's reasoning for calling it Gen. And this exchange has made me nudge my writer-brain to queue up something Gregson-y for future fic...
