Title: Guest Lectures and Murder
Author: Spikedluv
Fandom: Murder, She Wrote (tv)/Mystery 101 (tv)
Rating: PG13/Gen(/Het)
Pairing/Characters: Jessica Fletcher & Graham Winslow (hints of Jessica/Graham; cameo by Amy Winslow; appearances by Travis Burke, Bud & Claire Tate)
Length: 11,685 words
Spoilers: Takes place sometime post-season eight of Murder, She Wrote and sometime prior to the final two eps of Mystery 101.
Summary: Jessica Fletcher returns to Garrison, Washington to do a favor for her friend Amy Winslow – co-teach her summer class at Elmstead College with Amy’s father, Graham Winslow. Jessica and Graham take the opportunity of teaching together to strengthen their friendship and work on their current books together. Despite Amy’s request that they assist Detective Travis Burke while she’s away on sabbatical, Jessica has no intention of getting caught up in murder. She’s far too busy for that.
Author’s Notes: This story is a sequel to Fangirl. You do not need to read that story to understand this one, though you might miss some of the nuances if you don’t. Written for Round 14 of smallfandombang.

Title: they’re watching you (private eyes)
Author: Spikedluv
Fandom: Murder, She Wrote (tv)
Rating: PG13/Gen
Pairing/Characters: Jessica Fletcher (appearances by Eve Simpson, Sheriff Mort Metzger, Seth Hazlett and Original Characters)
Length: 4,560 words
Spoilers: Takes place during early seasons of Murder, She Wrote, but I wanted to include Mort, so it’s kind of time-fluid-y.
Summary: If you’d told Jessica ten years ago, even five years ago, that she’d one day be an officially licensed private investigator in Maine, she’d have said you were nuts.
Author’s Notes: Written for smallfandomfest for the prompt: Murder, She Wrote (tv), Jessica, P.I. AU. Title from the song Private Eyes by Daryl Hall & John Oates because I kept singing it while writing this fic, even though it has nothing to do with being a P.I.
Feedback: Would be greatly appreciated.
