I came across this image and a really sad thought came to mind, I just had to jot it down — enjoy my late night Lamb x Standish rambling 🥲🫶

We Will Never Be Like Anybody Else

It would’ve been like any normal end of the day if she hadn’t heard it: music at Slough House? She knew that Struan had, had what he classed as a brilliant idea of putting a piano in one of the rooms to try and ‘bring the team together’, but Jackson’s reaction soon put a stop to that dream. She quietly walked downstairs, trying to make as little noise as possible with her small heels. She could’ve sworn Struan had already gone home… unless he sneaked back to get the place all to himself and have a go? It was his idea in the first place, she thought.

As she approached the open doorway, she clasped her hand to her mouth to try and prevent any sound escaping it. Wide eyes stared forward at the figure sitting with their back to her at the piano; it was Lamb. She stood completely still, afraid any sudden movement would put him off, and also afraid of how he would react if he knew she was watching. She didn’t know he could play piano. To be completely honest, she didn’t even know he was capable of doing something that appeared to have him escaping reality. Sure, he had his whisky and his cigarettes, but they weren’t exactly the healthiest choice of vices. He didn’t even entertain the idea of company anymore, not since back then. This was like a breath of fresh air. She almost felt relieved knowing that he had an outlet that wasn’t something that could kill him – because he did seem fairly talented, so this can’t have been something he had never done before.

She watched in awe as he continued to play, her heart skipping a beat each time he spread his arms out to reach the notes that were further along to either end of the piano. His fingers danced along the keys as if they had always belonged there, and for a moment, she remembered when they did just the same against her skin. She leant against the doorframe and revisited one of several memories, remembering how, after all his roughness, his fingers were amongst one of the softest, most delicate things she had ever felt once they were upon her, around her, inside her. For years that had been a distant memory. One that she was being reminded of now every time his arms outstretched and fingers reached either end of the keys. She shook herself silently out of her thoughts. Was she really getting jealous of some piano keys?

Her heartbeat sped up each time his body moved and she pressed her lips together a little harder whenever his head would turn in either direction of the keys. Her eyes fell upon the scruff around his cheeks and she was instantly taken back to how it used to feel against her own skin. Admittedly, it was not as well kept as it used to be, but she still wouldn’t mind the feeling of it against where it had been before; cheek, neck, breasts, between her thighs. Her body tingled at the thought.

What she would give to walk over to that far end of the room and dangle her arms over his shoulders and rest her chin upon his head as it bobbed along to the melody he was playing. Maybe he’d even take her hands in his and physically show her how to play. That would be nice, she thought, to be guided by those hands again. She imagined how they would feel now after all these years; rough, worn, older than before, yes, but still capable of swift, gentle skill and expertise.

Was this Jackson Lamb at peace?

Just when she thought she couldn’t be more surprised, he changed the melody and started humming along. Her heart dropped the moment she realised what it was and her stomach felt like someone had filled it with ice.

“Because you’re sweet and lovely, girl, I love you. Because you’re sweet and lovely, girl, it’s true. I love you more than ever, girl, I do,” he sang along to the melody so faintly it was barely audible, but she knew every word. It wouldn’t matter to her if his voice sounded like nails on chalkboard, it was the memories that were igniting inside her like wildfire that made her lip tremble in awe; when they were working together in the early days, Jackson always allowed her to chose the music, if any, that they listened to, and the majority of the time, she would select an album by The Beatles. Jackson often teased her about how she should try and branch out into different bands, but there was this one particular song that she so often would go back to. One of her most fondest memories alongside it was when one night he spun her around in his arms and sang those exact lyrics to her. She thought she’d never get that feeling again, but for him to have then gone and secretly learned how to play it made her chest flutter in a way she thought was only for dramatic effect in movies. The way only he could ever make her feel. “I’ve loved you from the moment I saw you, you looked at me, that’s all you had to do…”

She stood there in admiring silence, one hand over her mouth, one hand over her chest. The Jackson whom she once kissed and danced with often seemed worlds away these days. The Jackson whose chest she would lay her head upon whilst dancing, relaxing, sleeping… The brightness that previously bounced in his expression seemed to take forever to light his eyes now, if at all. It made her hurt more than he could even imagine, but she certainly wasn’t brave enough to tell him. What would she say? I haven’t moved on from those days. Despite everything, it’s still you that I trust.

As he got to the end of the song, she felt the sadness overcome her even more. It was like losing him in slow motion again. She could have happily watched him play that song one hundred times over. She imagined him turning around and calling her over. She would obey in a heartbeat, obviously, and sit in his lap. He would continue to play, brushing her hair out of her face every time he stopped and tucking a few strands behind her ear with that Jackson Lamb smile that, still to this day, had the capability of making her melt. He would then wrap an arm around her waist, kiss her forehead and tell her, “we will never be like anybody else, Catherine Standish.” and, Christ, could she vouch for that. To end something that passionate so abruptly was enough to never seek out that kind of love ever again.

How could watching something so admirable cause so much pain? She couldn’t stand it any longer. Her eyes were stinging from trying to prevent them from tearing, and the lump in her through was fighting a losing battle. Not to mention her heart rate preforming at an ungodly speed. She decided to turn away without making her presence known. To have witnessed such an intimate, private moment was enough, she thought.

While she walked away as silently as she had approached, she glanced over her shoulder once more. How could someone so usually on their toes have not noticed she was stood in the doorway? That really must have been a personal moment for him to have not scanned the room once.

Tears fell down her cheeks as she walked away, already knowing that tonight would be putting her recovery to the greatest test. However, people often say that music is for when words alone simply are not enough to convey the amount of emotion they require. Maybe he wanted her to find him there all along?

Thank you for reading my sad Lambdish thoughts - I'm in two minds whether to continue it and have him call out her name with his back still turned or forever leave it to interpretation as to whether he ever knew she was there or not... 👀♥️

Lambdish?

Ship It

What made you ship it? This is one of the first canon on canon pairings in a while that I've been like really fascinated by. Their dynamic really is so complex and psychologically interesting that I just can't help but be so drawn to it. I've already done a whole essay about their dynamic and all the shit I've read into them throughout my many rewatches of the show and reading of the books (which you can read in full HERE ), but the long and short of it is that I love some fucked up codependency that literally spawned from the same event for both of them and that one of them perpetrated it while the other perpetuates it, and yet they both bear it like the fucking cross and it pisses each other off like "hey that's my cross to bear". No one's done it better or more fun or interestingly than they have.

What are your favorite things about the ship? I mean honestly any ship with Lamb is a good ship to me, because he's a really fun character to throw into different dynamics and situations, but with Standish I love the sadism and masochism of it all that also sortof scratches the hero complex itch he has (which HE SHARES WITH RIVER! and I will die on that hill. He has just been so jaded by losing so many people.) but also I love how protective he is in this one. But also this is a pairing that strikes as very classically "Howl and Sophie" kindof dynamic but this one has murder and espionage involved and also Catherine is so deeply complex as a character too(especially in the book. I feel like she appears outwardly more reserved and classically british cat lady in the show but the book takes a lot of time and care to remind you (and her) constantly that she was a real fucking party girl once and she has such a rich inner life and view of herself that almost no one sees except in brief moments of recognition when she says something they see as out of character. Which ironically is the polar opposite of Lamb where I feel like he keeps his traumas hidden but projects the worst parts of himself for everyone to see to protect them...). But anyways. I'm rambling. This ship gives me so much character to chew on and I love it for that primarily if you couldn't tell.

Is there an unpopular opinion you have on your ship? I'd be remiss not to say that sometimes I feel like some of those rose colored fanon glasses crop up with this one because. Well. Guys it's Lamb. Deliberate outward affection and care? In your dreams. He's all about the bait and switch. Like a fucking cat. Pretending to not give a shit at all but he does actually need proximity and attention and affection like everyone else. But he WILL not instigate it. Not on your life. Also lol I do think Catherine's hatred of Lamb gets downplayed a bit when that's part of what makes me love it. Let her be a hater she deserves it <3.

A delicious and low-carb recipe for cooking a leg of lamb in the Instant Pot, infused with aromatic herbs and served with a flavorful cooking sauce.

Ingredients: 1 leg of lamb about 4-5 pounds. 4 cloves garlic, minced. 2 tablespoons fresh rosemary, chopped. 2 tablespoons fresh thyme, chopped. 1 tablespoon olive oil. 1 teaspoon salt. 1/2 teaspoon black pepper. 1 cup chicken broth. 1/2 cup dry red wine optional.

Instructions: Use paper towels to dry the leg of lamb. Put garlic, rosemary, thyme, olive oil, salt, and black pepper in a small bowl. Mix them together to make a herb rub. Spread the herb mix out evenly on the lamb's skin. Add red wine and chicken broth to the Instant Pot. Set the leg of lamb on top of the trivet that you put in the Instant Pot. Make sure the vent is closed and the Instant Pot lid is sealed. Turn on "Manual" or "Pressure Cook" mode on the Instant Pot. Cook the lamb at high pressure for 25 minutes per pound. Let the pressure drop naturally for 15 minutes, and then quickly let go of any pressure that's still there. Take the lamb out of the Instant Pot with care and let it rest for 10 minutes before cutting it. Serve the low-carb Instant Pot leg of lamb slices with a sauce made from the cooking juices.

Prep Time: 15 minutes

Cook Time: Varies 25 minutes per pound of lamb

I still feel like there’s no way this scenario doesn’t end with Catherine as one of those women posting to r/relationship_advice asking internet strangers how to get her husband to wash his own balls without her needing to remind him

Random Slow Horses thought #2: those who want to seriously ship Lamb with anyone else must first come up with a way to get him clean. And I obviously mean it literally.

I don’t ship Catherine and Lamb but is their ship name lambdish? Because if it’s not I feel that’s a missed opportunity.

A lil Slough House fanfic with a focus on Standish and Lamb being weirdly cute about each other. 😍 🥹 🫶

[auyonreviews]

If you are a true blue meat lover, then the 5 Spice Lamb Chop at La Sicilia Bistro & Patisserie is a must try. The lamb pieces are bony but succulent, the spices are tangy and tasty and its served with a green pea mash that is just yum. The portion is also adequate and the dish left me with a lingering after taste. . . #auyoneats #lasiciliapatisserie #musteat #trofiimag #foodie #punefoodie #foodblogger #foodblog #foodporn #allaboutfood #lambdish #lambchops #5spice #meatlover #puneblogger #foodlove #foodstories #shotonpixel #teampixel (at La Sicilia Bistro & Patisserie) https://www.instagram.com/p/BvTAzSXgars/?utm_source=ig_tumblr_share&igshid=dj9py7bcer6t
