    Summary

    Greg thought that he was done with this. Doing a show in Edinburgh. Apparently, his ticket sales don’t want to agree with him. It’s some panel like show where people have to do silly games. Taskman or taskmaster or something equally stupid it is called. He doesn’t like it, and he doesn’t like Alex, the overly happy and annoying creator. But Greg has a plan: He’s going to do the show and be on the earliest train back to London. After all it’s only one day. How hard can it be?

    Summary

    Greg stares at the dark-rimmed glasses sitting in the metal drawer and wonders, not for the first time, what the other him thinks he leaves behind before starting each day. Wedding ring? The keys to some house out on a country lane? A phone, the background image a few kids roughhousing with some mutt of a terrier while he and a faceless partner watch on behind them, sated and merry on that precious sort of ordinary happiness? Maybe other him thinks he doesn’t leave anything behind at all.

    Greg puts his phone into the locker. It doesn’t matter what other him thinks might be in the drawer. Other him doesn’t even know it’s December. Other him might not even know what December is at all.

    Summary

    [UPDATE 29/4/2024 - Added illustration at the end!]
    Very reluctantly, Greg is allowing Roisin to drag him along to a paint-and-sip evening at a local studio. She’s promised there’ll be wine and a bit of fun, but mostly he’s agreed just to shut her up. What does he know, after all, about art? Nothing! It’s all just making dumb marks on paper that he’s never been any good at anyway.

    Greg feels spun around. Confused. “Wait, model?” Carol shoves a box of charcoal at him, and he takes it, blinking.

    “A quick reminder for everyone to be respectful and mature about this. The human body – beautiful and interesting and unique is already a work of art , so let’s make art of that art. Art squared! Now…” She raps on the door, and steps back with a flourish. “Everyone give a nice polite welcome to our model for the evening – Alex!”

    Summary

    Famous author Greg Davies has his publisher breathing down his neck for a sequel, but writers block is making his life hell, so when Roisin offers her grandmother's old cottage on the tiny barren island of Maighstir-Tasg for a getaway, he accepts! It'll be just him, the curiously standoffish lighthouse keeper, and no distractions stopping him from writing. Definitely no distractions.

    “You won’t be entirely isolated, Greg, pet. I told you there’s a lighthouse keeper on the island too. I only saw him in passing, but he seemed nice – maybe you could make a friend?” Roisin is doing that smile that means that she means significantly more than a friend. Then she raises her eyebrows, just in case he wasn’t picking up on her subtlety.

    Edited by the incomparable WhenLifeGivesYouLemons, and will feature an original song and its lyrics in the final chapter.

    Summary

    Greg shifted so that his arm was around Alex’s shoulders. “Are you ready for this?” he asked, his voice low, for Alex’s ears only.

    “Ready as I’ll ever be,” Alex said, glancing up at him. “Are you?”

    Greg grimaced, then laughed. “Five of my favourite people back as contestants?” he said, rubbing his chin with his free hand. “I suspect the chaos levels will be off the charts.”

    “You’re not wrong,” Alex murmured.

    Summary

    Many years later, as Greg whispered, “There’s a part of me wants to fuck you,” Alex laughed so hard he could hardly recall that night on the same stage—Greg’s affectionate smile, seductive enough to make him lean in and kiss the bigger man sitting next to him.

    Summary

    “So, you’re the guy, huh?” Greg asks, eyeing the man opposite him warily.

    ‘The guy’ seems completely unfazed by all of this. He only raises his eyebrows. “The guy?” he asks, infuriatingly calm.

    “Yeah, you know,” Greg says, hiding his embarrassment behind a cough, “the professional.”

    “You’re allowed to say bodyguard, Mr. Davies.”

    Summary

    Alex winced and scratched the side of his head. “I was, erm, sleeping?” he offered, although not very convincingly.

    Needless to say, Greg didn’t look convinced. “Were you?” he asked flatly, clearly already well aware of the answer.

    “No, Captain.” Alex said, and if his ears hadn’t already been blistered red by the wind, they’d be flushing. “I was playing a game with Mr Key and Mr Watson.”

    Greg barked a laugh and shook his head. “Christ,” he sighed. “I should have you flogged for that.”

    “Yes, Captain.”

    Greg tried and failed to give him a disapproving look. “Try not to sound so excited about the prospect.”

    Alex grinned. “Yes, Captain.”

    Summary

    Greg's doctor hesitated. “Are there any calls you need to make?” she asked, and he knew this was the last chance he had to turn back.

    But he didn’t take it. “No,” he said instead. “I’m all set.”

    “Very well.” She managed a small smile. “Then I’ll see you down there.”

    “I’ll be the one with the hospital gown barely covering his penis,” he said dryly.

    Summary

    “It takes time,” Roisin said, and Greg glanced over at her, confused. “Hanahaki. You don’t just develop it overnight.”

    “No,” Greg agreed.

    Roisin hesitated. “Takes about ten years, yeah?” she asked, and Greg knew she was doing mental maths to figure out just who had come into Greg’s life ten or so years ago that would be causing him to cough up flowers native to the Chiltern Hills.

    Well. He doubted she realised the latter part, having not had the time he’d had to google image search all the various flowers he’d been hacking up or learn that the stupid purple one which made the most frequent appearance was the fucking county flower of Buckinghamshire.
