Summary
Greg stares at the dark-rimmed glasses sitting in the metal drawer and wonders, not for the first time, what the other him thinks he leaves behind before starting each day. Wedding ring? The keys to some house out on a country lane? A phone, the background image a few kids roughhousing with some mutt of a terrier while he and a faceless partner watch on behind them, sated and merry on that precious sort of ordinary happiness? Maybe other him thinks he doesn’t leave anything behind at all.
Greg puts his phone into the locker. It doesn’t matter what other him thinks might be in the drawer. Other him doesn’t even know it’s December. Other him might not even know what December is at all.

Summary
The lighthouse interior was exactly as he remembered it, painted white, just like the exterior and, of course, rounded. Bare save for the stair that led up to the top and the dust motes that caught the light that filtered in through the small four-pane windows cut in a winding pattern along the stairs, it looked as untouched as the rest of the island, almost as if it had been waiting for his return.
That was a silly thought, and Greg huffed a laugh before taking a deep breath, glancing up once more before patting the wall and turning to return to his cottage.
He froze when a small, delighted voice said, with a strange sort of creaky timbre, “Oh! You’re back!”

Summary
Greg shifted so that his arm was around Alex’s shoulders. “Are you ready for this?” he asked, his voice low, for Alex’s ears only.
“Ready as I’ll ever be,” Alex said, glancing up at him. “Are you?”
Greg grimaced, then laughed. “Five of my favourite people back as contestants?” he said, rubbing his chin with his free hand. “I suspect the chaos levels will be off the charts.”
“You’re not wrong,” Alex murmured.

Summary
Alex winced and scratched the side of his head. “I was, erm, sleeping?” he offered, although not very convincingly.
Needless to say, Greg didn’t look convinced. “Were you?” he asked flatly, clearly already well aware of the answer.
“No, Captain.” Alex said, and if his ears hadn’t already been blistered red by the wind, they’d be flushing. “I was playing a game with Mr Key and Mr Watson.”
Greg barked a laugh and shook his head. “Christ,” he sighed. “I should have you flogged for that.”
“Yes, Captain.”
Greg tried and failed to give him a disapproving look. “Try not to sound so excited about the prospect.”
Alex grinned. “Yes, Captain.”

Summary
Greg thought that he was done with this. Doing a show in Edinburgh. Apparently, his ticket sales don’t want to agree with him. It’s some panel like show where people have to do silly games. Taskman or taskmaster or something equally stupid it is called. He doesn’t like it, and he doesn’t like Alex, the overly happy and annoying creator. But Greg has a plan: He’s going to do the show and be on the earliest train back to London. After all it’s only one day. How hard can it be?

Summary
[UPDATE 29/4/2024 - Added illustration at the end!]
Very reluctantly, Greg is allowing Roisin to drag him along to a paint-and-sip evening at a local studio. She’s promised there’ll be wine and a bit of fun, but mostly he’s agreed just to shut her up. What does he know, after all, about art? Nothing! It’s all just making dumb marks on paper that he’s never been any good at anyway.Greg feels spun around. Confused. “Wait, model?” Carol shoves a box of charcoal at him, and he takes it, blinking.
“A quick reminder for everyone to be respectful and mature about this. The human body – beautiful and interesting and unique is already a work of art , so let’s make art of that art. Art squared! Now…” She raps on the door, and steps back with a flourish. “Everyone give a nice polite welcome to our model for the evening – Alex!”

The Cottage and the Lighthouse by Illuminescence for WhenLifeGivesYouLemons
Fandoms: Taskmaster (UK TV) RPF
11 Aug 2023
Tags
Summary
Famous author Greg Davies has his publisher breathing down his neck for a sequel, but writers block is making his life hell, so when Roisin offers her grandmother's old cottage on the tiny barren island of Maighstir-Tasg for a getaway, he accepts! It'll be just him, the curiously standoffish lighthouse keeper, and no distractions stopping him from writing. Definitely no distractions.
“You won’t be entirely isolated, Greg, pet. I told you there’s a lighthouse keeper on the island too. I only saw him in passing, but he seemed nice – maybe you could make a friend?” Roisin is doing that smile that means that she means significantly more than a friend. Then she raises her eyebrows, just in case he wasn’t picking up on her subtlety.
Edited by the incomparable WhenLifeGivesYouLemons, and will feature an original song and its lyrics in the final chapter.
