REC: All I Want For Christmas by AJWrites1998

Category: Gen

Fandoms: Broadchurch

Relationship: Alec Hardy & Ellie Miller

Additional Tags: Christmas, Sickfic, family gathering

Summary:

The edges of his mouth turn down slightly, but he tries to play it off as thinking about whatever he’s managed to pull up on his computer. He sighs.

“Can’t,” he says, “Daisy’s visiting her mother for Christmas. She won’t be back till next week.”

Ah, so that’s what it was, then. He’s missing Daisy.

“Well, I guess if I can’t have Daisy, I’ll accept just you,” she says, then takes a sip of her own tea. She watches for his reaction over the top of the mug. He winces, but she didn’t exactly leave a lot of room to say no.

---

Daisy's out of town for Christmas. Alec has some feelings on the matter. Ellie's there to help out.

Fandoms: Broadchurch

Relationship: Alec Hardy & Ellie Miller

Additional Tags: Hurt/Comfort, Nightmares, Platonic Cuddling, Sharing a Bed, Men Crying, Exhaustion

Summary:

A wheezing, strangled breath slips from his throat, and his back arches off the bed, one hand scrabbling at his throat.

He thinks he’s drowning, she realizes in mounting horror. Another choked gurgle from Hardy solidifies her suspicion.

An alternative ending to s2e5 - where Alec goes to bed after the confrontation with Ricky, and Ellie realizes just how much reopening the Sandbrook case is costing him.

Fandoms: Broadchurch

Relationship: Alec Hardy & Ellie Miller

Additional Tags: Fluff and Angst, Implied/referenced Suicide, Late Night Conversations, Alec Hardy Whump, Alec Hardy Needs a Hug

Summary:

Ellie thought about Alec in those first weeks of knowing him. Seeing if her memories were different now with this new information.

They weren't. Not really. She wouldn't have ever guessed it if he hadn't trusted her enough to tell her, so she stopped thinking about those weeks and took a sip of tea in the present.

REC: A Hard Day's Night by AJWrites1998

Category: Gen

Fandoms: Broadchurch

Relationship: Alec Hardy & Ellie Miller

Additional Tags: Sickfic, Hurt/Comfort, Food Poisoning, Non-Sexual intimacy, Vomitting

Summary:

“Well, she was right, even if you are feeling poorly now. We’ll get you some toast later on, when you’re feeling up to it again.” She feels the need to reinforce this, otherwise she fears he’ll take away the wrong lesson. Unfortunately, at the mention of food, he pales again.

“No. No need. I’m never eating anything ever again.” he says, his face lined with pain.

------------

Alec Hardy doesn't usually eat anything at all. It's just his luck that the one time he does, it's gone bad. It's up to Ellie Miller to look after him.
