   Summary

   After four atrocious attempts at a task, Greg waits to see if Jack Dee’s efforts will be worth any points at all. It is not. But when the contestants complain that the task was impossible, and that no-one – not even Greg – could do better, Greg decides to prove them wrong. The task: ‘Romance Alex’, and Greg’s time starts now.

   A collaborative fic written by LadyJekyll and Illuminescence – with the prompt “Fake Dating”. Alternating chapters from Alex’s PoV and Greg’s PoV (by Illuminescence and LadyJekyll respectively), we surprised ourselves, tossed the hot potato of plot twists and cliffhangers at each other, and ended up with 40k of flirting, misunderstandings, and fake dates! Enjoy!
