Summary
It was a feeling he’d never had before, not when Rob Beckett power-washed him while dressed as a nan, not when Noel Fielding made him do an exotic sandwich strip-tease, not even when Liza Tarbuck made him sit bare-arsed on a cake. A feeling of shame that made his stomach squirm uncomfortably, coupled with a sinking sort of pleasure that made him squirm even more.
A feeling that he’d somehow ‘yes, and’ed himself to the very edge of something he couldn’t even begin to understand.
But as he stood onstage shoveling fistfuls of key lime pie into his mouth with his bare hands, he knew that he wanted to understand it.
And as he stared at Greg, lounging in his throne and grinning at Alex’s clear discomfort, he knew that he wanted to feel it again.

Summary
It made absolutely no sense, had absolutely no root in anything resembling Alex’s reality, which really left only one plausible explanation: in falling off of the stage, he and Greg had somehow fallen into a parallel universe.
That was a completely mad thought of course, and Alex mostly blamed it on the fact that he’d fallen asleep the other night while watching Spider-Man: Into the Spider-Verse with his boys, but it also made a certain amount of sense. Or rather, it provided a certain amount of sense to what was otherwise an increasingly completely mad version of his world.
Either that or this was all a very elaborate prank that he’d find funny one day, though it certainly wasn’t going to be this day.

Summary
“Dunno, just– that time of year, innit?”
“The time of year where someone gave you a Christmas gift?” Pauline guessed. “Perhaps a Christmas gift that wasn’t entirely what you were hoping for?”
Greg groaned but didn’t try to deny it. “Am I that obvious?” he asked, not bothering waiting for Pauline’s response. “Yeah, I exchanged gifts with– well, that’s not important, and I just thought– honestly I don’t know what I thought since it always has been too much to expect him to ever not obfuscate or beat around the fucking bush, or just say what he feels for once in his stupid life—”
Pauline cleared her throat before Greg could really gear himself up for a tirade. “What did Alex give you for Christmas?” she asked.

Summary
“Have you figured out what I’m wearing yet?” Alex asked mildly, turning around to face Greg, his expression calm, controlled and entirely unreadable. Greg shook his head and Alex’s lips again twitched, just barely enough that Greg could track the motion with his eyes. “I asked you a question.”
“No,” Greg said.
Alex nodded, seemingly more satisfied with Greg’s verbal answer. When they had started this – whatever this was, this thing that their onscreen personas hid so very well, this thing where Alex was fully, entirely and incontrovertibly in charge and Greg was eternally a naughty schoolboy waiting to either be punished or told what to do – they’d spent an entire evening trying and failing to find something for Greg to call Alex, but every suggestion was more ridiculous than the last. Alex wasn’t ‘sir’, or ‘master’, or anything else they could think of, though they’d had a very fun and giggly time trying out a variety of names.
“It’s the un-untuckable shirt,” Alex said.
