Well, folks, I did a thing. The Dalgliesh fandom is a tiny fandom, but we should stick together. So I have created AD's Casefiles Discord server. If you would like an invite, please pm me, and let's see where this goes. I have tagged people on here because you've posted/liked/reblogged stuff about Dalgliesh. If you know anyone else might be interested, please let them know, too. This isn't just for Bertie's version, although all you Carveliers are more than welcome, it matters not whether you like the books, the actors, the fanfic, art, giffsets, etc. Or whether you are a creator, a lurker, an artist, a consumer, etc. I'm attempting to make a central point of meeting, a safe space, a place where we can write, appreciate, collaborate, discuss, share plot bunnies, recs, etc. A drop-in place, a fun place. If you're interested, if you have discord, pm me for an invite.

Watching Dalgliesh season 3 ✨️ for him ✨️

[fergumeister]

Can someone explain to me why Detective Chief Inspector Dalgliesh rose to the rank of Commander by the end of The Murder Room episode without going through the ranks of Detective Superintendent and Detective Chief Superintendent? Is that something normal in the Met Police, skipping a few ranks?

I know it's a tiny fandom, but was anyone going to talk about Miskin's cute lil 1970s street clothes outfit? Just me?

Dalgliesh and Tarrant's dynamic in the opening story of Series 3 is interesting. I might just have my shipping goggles on, but a lot of potential there. I'll have to write it myself though (which I'm not sure I'm up to tbh) because I doubt anyone else will.

New painting! I loved Bertie Carvel's very sad, solemn performance as the poet-detective Adam Dalgliesh. I was trying to capture that expression here

honestly the show was pushing the "Charles is such a bigot, don't you just haaaaate him? wink wink nudge nudge" agenda so badly in the end it backfired and i was more interested in his character and hyperfocused on anything positive of his character. because of this, i know that in the small bit of what we saw of him that no, he wouldn't be a coward and not apologize to kate. he's actually a brave character (he stepped in the way of an exploding burning house to protect a woman) and is disgusted by rape, so why would he not be horrified at what happened to kate in the church? moreover, he already DID apologize in his own way in the car for being nasty to her. i hate that their conversation was never finished when kate asked "I don't have a problem with you. Do you have a problem with me?" and we could see the was about to answer but was interrupted.

i could go on about charles' positives in that he's actually a good cop when he puts a means to in his work, he's clever and at the end of the day he cares about his job but let's forget about all that. so what if he's not all that and just a bigot? you're just gonna write that in and forget about it? what is even the point of that? if he's going to be by the side of two people who aren't, then why not just improve him character? and don't act like it isn't possible. so now it just looks long the writers either had beef with the actor or were just too lazy to actually provide anything outside of "look he's a bigot" which was a waste of screentime.

oh and guess what, i'm shipping him with kate too just for good measure.

An Adam Dalgliesh x KateMiskin Fanfic

Chapter 1: It Might Go Like This

“All poems are seductions.”         -Kim Addonizio

Dalgliesh was retiring.

Well, that certainly wasn’t the news she’d been expecting when she got home today. It had been a long one, like most of her days lately. There hadn’t been the chance to take holiday time; there were too many cases to work and they’d been short of staff.

A new group of police constables had taken the detective’s exam, so that should be remedied soon, but there was still more on the job training to do. It was rare for her to get home before 9pm most nights. She’d been thinking that something had to give. Then she’d found this invitation on the mat just inside the door.

Read it here on AO3:

It is somewhat amusing just how done Dalgliesh is with everyone lying in the new series

My all-time favourite top three fandoms.

Sherlock (mystrade), Dalgliesh, and Vienna Blood.

Hi, it's me, I have found another fandom of two emotionally repressed people who clearly love each other, yet cannot say it. I have only seen the series, so that is the basis for my characterisation. I also don't know how the Met works/worked in the 1970s, so let's just handwave some of that stuff.  

But I love Dalgliesh and Miskin, your honour, so I will leave this for the the tiniest of fandoms who also love repressed police poets and strong-willed women and who just need them to get together already.

This is post-series 2.

[fergumeister]

I have read every adam x kate fic there is on AO3. So now what am I suppose to do?
