Summary
Alec Hardy does not like bars. Well, really, he doesn't like people, and people are in bars, lots of people, and he's never comfortable enough to let his guard down in order to enjoy himself. He's seen too much and trusts too little. Yet, here he is, in a bar in Weymouth, with loud music and people and attractive women.

Summary
Claire called him ‘Alec.’
He doesn’t like being called Alec, Ellie thought to herself. She looked over at him, at how he immediately curled in, shoulders hunched, arms brought forward to cross protectively over his chest. She tried to catch his eye, but Hardy resolutely did not look back at her, eyes fixed on Claire.
Something was very wrong. She just couldn’t put her finger on it quite yet.

or: the emancipation of one Alec Hardy

Summary
“So, you’re not from around here?”
The Scot shakes his head with a furrow in his brow, surprised she didn’t realize that sooner.
“Hm, I guess that’s why you didn’t look familiar.” She deduces (A real Sherlock, he thinks sarcastically).
“Didn’t your mum tell you not to talk to strangers?” The furrowed brow lingers on his face.
“Yes, but it’s hard to be a stranger around here with how small of a town it is.” She shrugs. “Unless someone like you comes along.”(A young Scot visits Broadchurch on holiday and meets a strange girl who might make the trip worth it – in other words, a holiday meetcute.)

Summary
In which Billy Hargrove has people on his side. What would have happened if a few people had decided to take a closer look at Billy and see that what he needed was a little help. With lots of found family and Neil bashing.
Also the Upside Down is conveniently forgotten and never really mentioned after the first chapter. I am well aware of the gaping plot hole, and I have chosen to ignore it.
A hand landed on his window sill and Billy cursed at himself for flinching. Hopper peered down at him, giving Billy and the car a once-over, an eyebrow raising at the smell of alcohol. “You know how fast you were going son?”
Billy’s done this dance before, knows the question is hypothetical and that there’s nothing he can say to convince the cop otherwise. So he smirked, the corners of his mouth pulling at the bruise on his jaw. “Real damn fast I hope.”
