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.

Summary
An exhausted Alex and an irritable Greg find themselves roped into a taping excursion overseas for an episode of World's Most Dangerous Roads.
After a very lucky escape, they’re forced to share a room, and of course, a bed, at some hastily organised lodgings. All Alex wants to do is sleep and forget. Greg, however, has some very different plans.
A beat of silence hung just a little too long. Alex looked up, only to be met with a distinctly puzzled look on Greg’s features as he examined his own key beside Alex’s. A single silvery brow lifted as he met Alex’s gaze, turning the keys in his palm to reveal the number eleven, glittering menacingly somehow, engraved on both tags.

Summary
He lifted a shaky hand to his face, his fingers trembling as they brushed against the unfamiliar length of his beard, snarled and matted with sweat, grime and sea salt.
As if from a long distance, he could hear the crash of the waves against the shore, his only constant for the past– how many days had it been? How many days since the cruise ship had been capsized by a storm?
How many days since he’d been washed ashore and stranded, convinced that he would never again see the man standing in front of him?

Summary
“How’d you, erm—”
“Other than because you’re both idiots?” Patrick asked mildly as he took Alex’s costume off him and tossed it into the basket.
“Yes, other than that.”
Patrick considered not telling him, or giving him some kind of cryptic answer, or, even better, telling him that literally everyone knew (which there was probably some truth to, because Greg and Alex were both extremely obvious and also because just about everyone had been rooting for this to happen in one way, shape or form), but in the end, he settled for the truth. “You keep getting your socks mixed up.”

Summary
“Is it a curse you’re thinking?”
It took Aisling a moment to realise what her mother meant. Look, it was a stereotype that the Irish were magic, but in every stereotype there was at least a grain of truth. And in the case of Aisling’s family, it was a bit more like a whole bushel of truth.
And now that her mother had brought it up, Aisling was surprised she hadn’t thought of the same thing.
“D’you know, that may be the best idea you’ve ever had, Mam,” she said, a slow smile spreading across her face. “I think a wee hex would do Alex some good.”

Summary
“It doesn’t usually work like that with Alex,” Greg said, deliberately casual. “He does things that amuse me and saves his real performance for when I have more esteemed guests, usually of the imperial variety.”
“Oh, so I guess I can just go fuck myself then,” Rhod said with no real heat. He cocked his head and Greg realised a moment too late that his hand was still resting on Alex’s arm. “Why do imperial guests rate a performance?”
Greg shrugged and tried to remove his hand in a casual way. “Alex’s humour is dogshit enough that it tends to put me in the right mood for dealing with Rome,” he said, his smile sharpening. “And when I am called upon to render my judgement on behalf of the Empire, it always helps to have someone fucking annoying to take my ire out on.”
Alex grinned widely, revealing a gap between his front teeth. “Thank you, Greg,” he said brightly.

Summary
“Fancy meeting at the pub later?”
In retrospect, Greg should have known something was up from the moment that Rhod sent a text with a capital letter. It wasn’t that the other man was uneducated- far from it. But in the time that Greg had known Rhod Gilbert, the man had almost never had the time or attention span needed to add punctuation. To him, it wasn’t worth it, since Greg would know what he meant either way.
