The Secret Ingredient by Sweet_Peach_Cobbler
Fandoms: Off Menu with Ed Gamble and James Acaster (Podcast), British Comedy RPF, Just Puddings (Web Series)

Summary
James knelt at Ed's feet and hooked his fingers into the waistband, easing them down carefully. Ed caught the soft gleam of James’s pale copper curls under the bedside lamp, felt the brush of knuckles against his skin, the whisper of fabric pooling at his ankles. The moment felt absurdly intimate.
“This is the bit where you take advantage of me,” Ed muttered.
James gave a low chuckle. “You should be so lucky.”
****
Ed thinks being the dom means you're the strong one. James is going to show him how wrong he is.
Inspired by two Off Menu episodes (Jamelia and Huge Davies) where fanfiction is discussed.

Summary
"There's loads of fan fiction about us fucking."
It's not like they haven't talked about it publicly before, but discussing online slash fiction in front of a live audience was not exactly a childhood dream of James'. In fact, he's hoped to avoid the subject, along with the all-too-complicated feelings it stirrs in him. But what can you do?

Days Like This by rustyjaybird

Summary
Ed is used to taking care of himself.
He's also used to taking care of others, like James and Alex, because sometimes they're little and they need caring for. It doesn't matter what Greg says; he doesn't have to be little like they do. He doesn't need people to look after him. Never has. And he's spent his whole life proving that, and hiding the truth, and he's gotten very good at it. If it wasn't for that stupid task, no one would even have found out! No one would be treating him like he's any different. He's still him, he's still the same Ed. He can be big if he wants to.
Throwing a massive tantrum in the park whilst watching Little Alex Horne play football kind of puts a dent in that plan.

Summary
He can hear Ed in the kitchen behind them, cooking something and humming to himself. Must hand it to him, that does make this feel very domestic, like Alex really is a schoolboy over at his friend’s house for dinner. Except he’s forty and his friend is thirty-four, and his friend’s ‘dad’ is a year younger than that, and also his friend is drinking water non-stop until he wets himself.

Summary
The year is 2019, and life has become quite dull for you since graduating from university back in 2011. You used to do stand up comedy at uni but lost yourself in routine. One night, your best mates decide to encourage you to try comedy again and this is where you stumble across your old friend and old flame, Rhys James. Your life flips over and you dive into the world of the close-knitted comedy circuit. In the midst of it all, you end up meeting a particularly distinctive red headed fellow who could become a confusion for you and your past feelings for Rhys. Is life bringing back meaning to you again?
A/N: Had to update the timeline of this story for it to make sense to when Rhys James went to uni because otherwise the reader would not have met him there! Whoopsie.
