Summary
Daeron Targaryen has finally landed a gig (fuck yeah!). Fifty quid a night, five weeks, one pub in North London wedged between a fried chicken place and somewhere called Fun Pizza. His brother travels an hour on the tube to be there and is, allegedly, there to record. The bar guy is six foot six.
Nobody panic.
Or: a very realistic love story set in modern-day London.

Summary
They aren’t his family, not in the traditional sense. But the idea that they might be, that they could be, unsettles him more than he wants to admit. It’s the same quiet dread that hit him when Collins said he had helped raise Amy. He doesn’t know why exactly. Maybe because imagining them as a family implies imagining him and Jack as something. And that’s just absurd, right?
Or: Robby has been a quiet constant in the lives of Abbot and his daughter, filling a space that was never clearly named. As they drift into their fifties, he begins to recognize that his feelings for Jack may have deepened into something real and perhaps impossible. Now he’s left wondering if this almost-family could ever truly be his.

Summary
It’s a go-down-in-flames level terrible idea, especially when the cameras catch the part where he murders Patrick live. He shouldn’t agree. And certainly not because she double-dog dared him. He is far too self-aware for that tactic.
