Summary
“Is your sister going to be present?” John asks, which earns the Lieutenant Commander the attention of the room. This includes a look of confusion from Charles, who snags his mug from the counter, and Monty apparently neglected to mention he had a sister to.
“I believe Joyce will be if the Fair Captain can get leave,” Monty responds, before his brain catches up with itself. Why on earth did it matter if his sister was present?
“No, not Joyce, the other one,” John hand waves in between bites of his biscuit as Monty cocks an eyebrow in confusion, considering he only has one sister. “Quite fit, looks rather a lot like you.”
Ah. This is rather uncomfortable.
An early-on hypothetical Missing Scenes Fic set in MI5 in which Monty gets himself caught deeper and deeper in the lies about his fake sister, wife, and children to his coworkers.

Just for Tonight I Will Believe That I was Born to Lead by DependableDreamboat

Summary
Why did his drunken brain believe dancing the tango was going to help the Operation which had priority second only to Mincemeat: dismissing and getting over his affections for Ewen. He wasn’t thinking straight, in any semblance of the term, which is only further evidenced by the fact they’d ordered yet another round of drinks in the face of the plethora of spirits they’d already downed along the bar crawl that Monty insisted upon. Still, it was sweet, in a queer sort of way, that Monty had wanted to grant him this male homosocial bonding experience that he’d missed out on at university and in the RAF, even if the precarity of the Operation made Charles more nauseous than the exorbitant amount of liquor he’d downed this evening.
A Missing Scenes Fic During/After "Just For Tonight" during that totally platonic, purely for homosocial bonding with your best mate, bar crawl.

Summary
With an undone white bow tie, a half-done-up white tuxedo shirt, and hairpins scattering the floor, Monty sits in his star trailer far later than he should be on set. Looking like utter shit, he nurses a half-finished brandy and smokes a fag while his chest rises and falls heavily. Usually, he’d worry about people popping into his trailer when he’s in this state, with the thin scars on his chest scars apparent for all to see and his hair undone from the bun that keeps it tightly wound, but he’s in too sorry of a state to care. Today had been an utter mess. It was Debra’s fault, to be fair, for making a pig’s ear of everything and trying to steal his spotlight. Then there was the issue with the rigging of the fly rail for the big finale and one would think that if Hollywood had figured out the bloody musical movie with Meet Me in St. Louis amongst others, they’d be able to do it for him. But no. Why would it be that easy for him?
A Missing Scenes Fic about Monty having a depression spiral after the "What's he doing instead?"/"I'm afraid I cannot tell you, what I went on to do"/"Who Knows" interaction during "A Glitzy Finale"
