The Wrong Side is a short story by russian_blue based on the Yorkshire Television spy series The Sandbaggers. .

The summary, " A snippet of the future that might have been." well describes the story's focus. In keeping with interviews with a couple of the actors post-series, this ficlet ‘fleshes out’ events that were planned for the fourth series which was never made: Willie Caine, in a wheelchair, becomes D.Ops and Neil Burnside is promoted.

The story was written as a treat for Yuletide 2012 and given to the_croupier (who had requested Sandbaggers fic). As a short ficlet it was posted to the ‘Yuletide Madness’ collection rather than the main Yuletide collection.

Comments included:

  • " I loved the details here. The need for the desk to be moved, Willie's thoughts about sending people he knows into the field, the amount of paperwork, the chair (oh, the chair), and the way you handled Burnside's promotion. I totally agree--Deputy Chief just makes more sense, even if only for a while."— comment by the_croupier
