“Fine. Last Christmas—”
Tim sniggered. “Let me guess, you gave him your heart, and the very next day, he gave it away?”
But Alex just glanced at him and away again. “Yes.”
Tim’s smile faded. “Wait, really?”

Summary
“It’s retail, mate. I’m not expecting perfection from some twenty-something dairy stocker. I know it’s not your passion—hell, it’s not mine either. It’s nobody’s, really, is it? You’d have to be properly mad, maybe even a bit masochistic, to actually enjoy it.”
Alex swallows, because he sometimes worries that he could very well be both of those things.

Summary
It's quite odd to know something deep down in the marrow of his bones, and yet when it's suddenly a reality, it's gone. He still thinks something good slipped through his fingers, not just all at once but also equally over the course of decades.
Years of misunderstandings from both sides mar his past and make it impossible to look back without questioning every single second shared between him and Tim.
OR: Alex finds out that everyone, and Tim, thinks they are dating.

"You can clean it for me."

"What?" I ask, confused by their expressions.
Ed shakes his head slowly. "Y/n, I say this with love and respect... but you are absolutely clueless when it comes to flirting."- Basically just a story of Ed, James, and Sam being the most supportive friends, and trying to get the reader some action.

Summary
Alex is a little tipsy and can't resist when Tim sets him up perfectly for the well-worn joke. Or at least Alex thinks it's a joke. For Tim it just cements the idea that Alex is fed up with him. He doesn't realise he's not the only one in this relationship who's struggled with the whole business of government-enforced seperation.
Or: Tim gets the wrong impression, thinks Alex is breaking up with him, and then Alex does his very best to prove him wrong.

Twice Over by Vamillepudding

Summary
“Did you know Horne is dating Greg Davies?” Tim asks bluntly.
There’s a pause at the other end of the line. Then Mark says, sounding confused, “I- yes? That is to say, I did know that, and so do you. We went camping with them last month. Are you feeling alright, Tim?”
“No, I’m not fucking ‘feeling alright’,” Tim snaps. “I wake up to find out that my best mate has apparently been sticking his boy in another bloke behind my back, so excuse me that I’m not besides myself with joy here.”
There’s another pause. Eventually, Mark clears his throat. “Is this- sorry, are you being homophobic?”
Or:
Tim dies taking a bullet for Alex, and if he had the time to make his final joke, he would have said he predicted this two years ago on Kathy Burke's podcast. What he didn't predict is that he'd wake up - in a world where Alex is dating Greg Davies.

Summary
“Now,” Greg purrs, stepping over the remnants of the salt and in the direction of Alex, who’s still watching him with big, guileless eyes, “for the record, I do have a heart, but I haven’t got a heartbeat. Any last words?”
“A few.” And then, without even glancing at the book, Alex loudly starts chanting, “Exorcizo te, immundíssime spíritus-“
“For fuck’s sake,” Greg says, for the second time tonight.
Or: After Greg is summoned and then unceremoniously sent back to Hell without striking a deal, all he can think about is how he's going to see the upstart little witch again so he can
ask him outeat his heart.- Language:

Summary
“I brought beer,” Tim told him, fishing a can out of the bag and holding it out to Greg, who took it, surprised and surprisingly gratified at the thought. “Figured this might be easier to do with a little, er, liquid courage.”
“Why, are you nervous?” Greg asked, cracking the beer open.
Tim glanced up at him, both eyebrows raised. “I mean, look at the size of you,” he said, and Greg scowled. “I’d be a fucking idiot not to be nervous.” He fiddled with the pull tab of his beer can. “Besides, I wasn’t lying. I’ve never done this before.”
