Summary
“With you it’s always ‘Father this’, ‘Father that’.” Gianna sniffed. “It’s an obnoxious habit. Very childish. Act your age.”
“Oh? And trying to interrupt a stranger about his business isn’t obnoxious?”
“You’re such an asshole,” Gianna said, incredulous. “I can’t believe you said that. We’re trying to save a life.”
“If you were remotely interested in charity of that nature you wouldn’t be in the family business.”
The stranger was staring at them now, blinking owlishly. It wasn’t an unfamiliar reaction to anyone exposed to his sister and their quarrels. “Do you guys mind?” he said finally. His voice was rusty, seldom used.

Summary
The prisoner's dilemma is a concept developed in game theory (as in mathematics, not video games). The idea is that two criminals are suspected of a crime: If both stay silent, they get a short sentence, if both confess, they get a medium sentence. If one confesses, and the other stays silent, the confessor goes free and the other gets the maximum sentence. The game assumes that the two have no way of communicating and that no other aspects influence their decisions.
For Vincent and Leo, nothing of this applies. A fix-it fic.

Summary
Vincent wants to push his hand up into Leo’s sweaty hair, wants to drag their mouths together. He wants one more distraction, one last moment just for them before this whole thing reaches its inevitable end.

two flints by dizmo, sabinelagrande

Summary
It takes two flints to make a fire.
Which isn't actually true, but it's more important to be convincing than tell the truth.

"I meant what I said, you know."
"What's that?"
"That I would like to be your friend. Properly."
Well, friends do things together, don't they? They drink beers and play games and share secrets.

Summary
"Tim and Greg Davies I speak to quite often, and they've got similar lives to each other and couldn't be more different from me, I think. They're both in a flat and they're both isolating pretty exclusively. I don't think they've seen anyone in a month. And I think it's probably grass is greener territory but they're both being pretty organized with their time and they're getting a lot of writing done. I...I...yeah. I think I'm more envious of them than they are of me." — Alex Horne, Parenting Hell, S01E08
Not really, mate. Not really. Grass is greener? Greg hasn't seen grass in a month. But maybe out in the country, on a camping trip, there might be some grass?

Summary
While on the tube on his way back home, Alex's phone had buzzed. A new notification from WhatsApp. He'd swiped his way over to find an unread message in one of his biggest group chats: it had been Greg, telling 50+ comedians about what Alex had done on his orders. Bragging about what Alex had done. For him.

Alex wants something from Greg. Greg doesn't think he can take it. Which "he" I'm referring to is left as an exercise to the reader.

and, to my left, a man who once drunkenly explained to me the appeal of tentacle porn by thingswithwings

Summary
"Christ," Greg says, completing his blasphemy. "It’s a funny scene, Alex, I don’t deny it, but I can’t say it does much for me. I have just never gotten the appeal. Slimy wet things sliding into your clothes all cold. What's wrong with a good old fashioned cock, I ask you."
