Summary
Still, Horne, a tall beta man despite his “little” moniker, is something of a stickler for rules. This character trait juxtaposes pleasingly with the extravagant capriciousness of that most alpha of alphas, the Taskmaster himself, played by Greg Davies. The dynamic between the two works most effectively as, of course, we are all hanging on the pleasure of the Taskmaster, who treats everyone with the same cruel disaffection regardless of career, secondary or primary gender, or ability. “It works because nobody expects it of him,” says Horne, “But I think everyone likes that, secretly. That alpha urge to be mean, to be nasty. It’s very satisfying to watch. To participate in.”
- James Park, “The Secret to Taskmaster’s Cult Success”, The Guardian
Alex Horne has a secret - later in life than is meant to happen to anyone, he presented as an omega. He decides to keep it under wraps; how hard can it be? He's got a successful show, he's got a group of friends... but a flare of unexpected jealousy during filming, coupled with a chance meeting in a hotel room in Manchester, starts a chain of events that soon rumbles out of his control.

Summary
“为什么不走呢？”蒙巴纳斯问她。
“往哪去？我累了，不想再跑了。在哪都能活下去。”艾潘妮把甘草糖的残渣吞下，花园里，雨水落在紫苜蓿芽上的味道几乎是让人畅快的。月光印挂在残破的房梁上，蜡烛要省着用，他们的眼睛早已经适应夜晚的黑暗，适应了那深渊般一直下坠的蓝色。
“这家伙呢？”他指了指躺在房间一角床垫上的格朗泰尔，黑头发的伤员此刻已经沉醉在酒精和吗啡织成的混沌迷雾中，露出一个空洞的微笑。于是艾潘妮知道他的心已经不在此地，便替他回答：
“他是个傻子。他相信爱。”Bookmarked by MadOwlintheMostAmazingTree

Summary
总有一天他也会失去他这股热情的，格朗泰尔想，所有律师都是这样，年轻时输了太多他们想赢的案子，年老的时候就会赢上一打他们不该赢的。他喜欢看安灼拉气急败坏的表情，但另一半的大脑却隐隐希望这个世界的规律对安灼拉来说不是这样，他可以一直保有他的热情和年轻。
可惜这个案子你会输的，太阳神。他想，把手里的瓶子歪歪扭扭地扔进了洗手台旁的垃圾桶。Bookmarked by MadOwlintheMostAmazingTree
