    Summary

    Sometimes, their acceptance of him is almost a death sentence. Because he tells himself there’s nothing wrong – because they say there’s nothing wrong.

    That’s just AJ. We’ve all got our quirks. He’s always been like that.


    Maybe that’s why AJ hasn’t tried to explain the clear differences in the way he processes the world compared to everyone else. Because these three friends who have long since earned the title of family have never made a big deal out of it. They joke about it, sure, because they wouldn’t be good friends if they didn’t do that.

    (But they worry about him, sometimes. Quietly – like they’re not sure they’re meant to.)

    Summary

    ‘People think, or more realistically assume, that I hate a load of things, and maybe even loads of people- the primary example of the latter going by the name James Acaster. If you’re reading this, you probably know that isn’t true, but don’t people need reminders every once in a while? While you’re here, I might as well clear up that I don’t hate Alex Horne either. Sure, he was the master of my torment at times, but I don’t hate him. Never have.’

    Summary

    “This is it,” Tom murmured, gesturing to the four of them. “For as long as we all want it to be. This is going to be our life. With or without the people who accept it.”

    They had always talked about forever in metaphors – the secret bookcase door or jokes about ending up in a retirement home together. But Tom had laid it out more clearly this time. Their life - together.


    Fear, rejection, panic and bad memories.

    Patience, vulnerability, growth and protection.


    Or, progress towards a life lived without metaphors.

    Summary

    Maisie was pretty sure the only reason she had been assigned scribe of the crew was because she had thin, metal framed glasses. Unfortunately for Captain Shearsmith, she was illiterate.

    Summary

    They’re called Hedgehog and it’s not even close to the type of music Reece is interested in if Maisie’s description of it was anything to go by. She hadn’t had time to play him any of it or show Reece a picture of who he was meant to look for, just what they were like and that they were going to be at a place called the Crossroads at eight. They’re the only ones playing tonight, she had told him, they won’t be hard to miss.

    Summary

    After the Taskmaster Finale comes to an end, the Series 20 cast continue their chaos with an impromptu pirate adventure, led by Reece Shearsmith himself. Nobody knows what they’re doing, but there’s a treasure map, mutiny, and a cabin boy with a hopeless crush. Perhaps when night falls, overthrowing the power becomes the greatest celebration of all.

    Summary

    She’s not upset. It’s the opposite, really: the stuff of them in her space makes the days feel less brittle. There’s an accidental intimacy to it, a slackening in her chest when she finds the tea-bag wrappers left on the counter. Some nights they stay too late and crash on her sofa, long limbs everywhere, Greg’s bare calves sprawled across the coffee table while Alex (despite his height) curls up like a hibernating fox. Sometimes, one of them will unspool a long chain of anecdotes from their own past until Y/n’s eyes sting from laughter.

    -Part two of Drink Your Damn Fluids!

    Summary

    “I’m saying all this stuff about excuses not to go and stay with Sam and Tom but the truth is, my brain just instantly went to you. And now I’m at Euston and I know I won’t even get to yours for another two hours if I actually come…”

    “Get on the train,” AJ interjected, gentle but firm. If Luke was thinking about spending the money on a last-minute train ticket, AJ knew that meant he was desperate.


    Three months after graduation. Three months after moving to Manchester. Three months of realising that short space of time is nowhere near enough to get over what he was trying to leave behind.

    Summary

    They say of the Acropolis, where the Parthenon is, that there are no straight lines. At least, that’s what Stephen would be graciously informing that day’s QI panel of, if he could bally well keep his tongue in check.

    The lot of them tease - of course they do, they are comedians after all. But it’s Alan who surprises Stephen the most.

    And at the end of it all, when the lights are down and the personas are stripped, there’s going to be a price to pay…

    Summary

    “I just know we aren’t getting any younger,” Sally says. A simple fact laid out in the open, they were, what? In their late 40s to early 50s? His back starts to ache, although it always was due to his height, no surprise, and she has three children sleeping at home. It wasn’t like it was an unknown fact that they were getting old. Greg just doesn’t know why there was a need to point that out.

    Greg feels her foot bump his leg from under the table, but neither of them moves from the contact.

     

    Or; Greg contemplates the conversations he's had with Sally over the years.
