Getting Away
by McJude
Rate: R - This story takes place when John Lawless is undercover as Johnny Wilson, prior to the first movie. It's an interesting take and a totally different John Lawless/Johnny Wilson than the other stories on this site.
Is There a Doctor in the House? by JinXavier
Rated: NC:17 - This story follows Lawless 1 and is separate and distinct from the stories below that I have written. John Lawless, newly divorced and still living in Auckland is trying to make a life for himself outside the police force.
Vengeance is Mine by JinXavier
Rates: NC:17 - This story follows JinXavier's Is there Doctor in the House and is separate and distinct from the alphabet series I have written. In this story, John Lawless is trying to make a living working in Auckland as a P.I., but it seems Snow is still out to get him!
In case anyone is wondering in what order to read the below stories, they are in alphabetical order which is also their chronological order. They do follow a chronological timeline as well as an alphabetical one so if you're just starting to read them, best to read them in alphabetical order. <g>
For anyone who has had the opportunity to see Lawless 2 - Dead Evidence, my stories do NOT take into consideration what happens in that story, because A-K were written before it aired and "L" which I posted recently continues where I left off with K. Further, given that I have created a "universe" of my own for John Lawless, it is unlikely that I will ever "match" my universe to the movies. (For one thing - I LOVE that hair! <g>) Also - Lawless 3 - Beyond Justice aired on February 22, 2001.
Please note: All the Lawless stories on this site are products of my or someone else's imagination and have NO official connection nor any linkage to any of the Lawless telefeatures produced by South Pacific Pictures. Any possible similarity between what we've written or what they've produced is purely coincidental.
