The Cottage and the Lighthouse by Illuminescence for WhenLifeGivesYouLemons
Fandoms: Taskmaster (UK TV) RPF
11 Aug 2023

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.

Sherlock Horne & Doctor Mark Watson - The Case of the Two-Faced Taskmaster by Illuminescence
Fandoms: Taskmaster (UK TV) RPF
26 Jun 2023

Summary
Sherlock Horne and Dr. Mark Watson are consulting detectives with the London Police, but a new serial killer case snaps Horne out of his self-destructive boredom and gives them a new mystery to solve. They'll cross paths with a very large crime scene cleaner, Greg Wickstead, who Horne takes an immediate liking to. Together, with the help of Horne's near-omniscient ex-wife, Rachel Mycroft-Horne, they must identify and stop the killer known only by the name signed on the tasks they leave behind - 'Taskmaster'.
WARNING: This has lots of murder, quite a lot of crime-scene blood (I'll warn on a per chapter basis), and has background implications of human trafficking, abuse, and death. These characters are inspired by, but are not really, these people. Also it has Sherlock Horne and Rachel Mycroft-Horne amicably post-divorce. I would never ever wish any harm, emotional or otherwise, on the real humans these characters are based on. They all seem lovely, IRL. Concrit welcome.

Night at the (British) Museum: The Oracle by Illuminescence

Summary
Greg's a broken hearted, out of work actor, temping as a night security guard at the British Museum. He only has a few days until an all important audition, but he can't dredge up any emotions beyond anger and sadness from his recent breakup. That is, until he makes a very strange discovery in the new Greek Mythology exhibition, in a simple wooden box.
He bends down, getting right up in what he assumes is going to be where the camera is, and opens the doors all at once.
“Oh! Hello!” the face startles.
Greg ignores its greeting, ignores the fuzzy funny grin it’s giving him – all gap toothed and enthusiastic. Ignores the way the skin at the corners of its eyeliner-and-smokey-eyeshadow-daubed eyes crinkles genuinely, or the soft looking texture of the greying auburn short beard.
It is frighteningly realistic.
