Summary
Still, Horne, a tall beta man despite his “little” moniker, is something of a stickler for rules. This character trait juxtaposes pleasingly with the extravagant capriciousness of that most alpha of alphas, the Taskmaster himself, played by Greg Davies. The dynamic between the two works most effectively as, of course, we are all hanging on the pleasure of the Taskmaster, who treats everyone with the same cruel disaffection regardless of career, secondary or primary gender, or ability. “It works because nobody expects it of him,” says Horne, “But I think everyone likes that, secretly. That alpha urge to be mean, to be nasty. It’s very satisfying to watch. To participate in.”
- James Park, “The Secret to Taskmaster’s Cult Success”, The Guardian
Alex Horne has a secret - later in life than is meant to happen to anyone, he presented as an omega. He decides to keep it under wraps; how hard can it be? He's got a successful show, he's got a group of friends... but a flare of unexpected jealousy during filming, coupled with a chance meeting in a hotel room in Manchester, starts a chain of events that soon rumbles out of his control.

Summary
“So we know we cannot drown it,” Edmund says, his words sticking in his throat; thirty pairs of eyes fly to him, but he refuses to be drawn away from his point. He has plenty of practice holding his own in council chambers too old for him. “We know we can’t drown it, and you say we can’t keep it – can’t use its power for our own benefit. What do we know, then? How can it be destroyed?”
“Finally,” Greyhame flings his hand Edmund’s direction, “The right questions.”
***
A chance discovery on a remote hill in Dorset leads the four Pevensie siblings, now all grown up, into Middle-Earth. But as they come together to Rivendell, each with their own cross to bear, will they be able to discover what has brought them here, and fulfill their quest without the world falling to darkness?

Summary
It had been a spur of the moment purchase.
Greg’s got a fake name for when he orders weird shit to his house. When the box arrived last week, coming for a David Timms, he’d been so embarrassed to be ordering fucking sex toys to his fucking house like a fucking kid, but now he’s through that and into the delightful little vignettes that the fucking thing has inspired.
“What,” Alex’s voice actually sounds a little hoarse, and oh, what a delight that is, to know he can pull a sound like that out of a man as artfully constructed as this, “What exactly was your plan with… this?”
Greg doesn’t have to look around to know that Alex is plucking at the bubble wrap and the instructions, discarding both in the corner of the box, feeling the leeching of the cold metal base, the odd, insincere rubber of the black silicone where it swells to fatness and thins again.
“Well,” he says, in a slow, patient voice, “I thought I’d take you home and fuck you, and then tomorrow morning I’d put that in you and we’d go to work.”

Summary
Greg follows him leisurely, watching his arse in his jeans. “Any particular plans this evening?” He teases.
Alex sets the milk carefully on the kitchen table, then stands there, awkward, a spare part. “I don’t know how to answer that.”
What does it say about Greg that even that sentence gets him going? “Lucky for you, I do. Sit down.”
Alex puts his hand on the back of one of the chairs, but Greg lifts a finger, muscling in on Alex, using his wider shoulders to cram the man into the space between counter and table. “Ah, ah,” he warns, “I said sit down, but I didn’t give you permission to use my chairs.”

Summary
Curiosity piqued, he taps into Alex's photo.
Again, it's totally innocuous on its own; it's Alex's hand, held out in the white background of the lab at the filming house, holding a loop of hot pink electrician's tape, the sort you get in B&Q if you're the kind of man that paints his own edgings, or skirtings, or fixtures or whatever. Skinny, the plastic end slightly white where someone has pulled it with force. Greg can't help but see the marks on Alex's wrist, though, soft pink strips of skin, overlapping, newly freed from mysterious confines.

Summary
"Did you see?" says Dick, and he lets go of Tim's shoulders to take him by the arm, tugging him toward the kitchen instead of the Batcave. "Alfred made cookies."
"Think he's trying to lure you in," says Tim, with a huff of a laugh. "Like one of those traps they bait for raccoons."
"Raccoons are too smart for that, baby bird," says Dick, blithely, and swipes up one of the bait-cookies anyway, biting into it with an appreciative little hum.
Tim finds somewhere else to look — fixes his gaze on a spot on the far wall, trying hard to ignore the way the kitchen smells of cinnamon and nutmeg and sugar. His stomach twists a little, hopeful, and he tells it firmly that these aren't for him. They're Dick's welcome-home cookies.

Summary
It happens on a Tuesday night, on a rooftop in Gotham, the way so many horrible things do. One moment Jason has the Replacement’s throat under his hand and his blood is boiling with irritation and the kid’s wearing that irritating little smirk that means he’s got the information that Jason needs but he’s so desperate to show off about how he found out that he’s willing to take the risk of being strangled. The next moment he’s got a huge hand on his throat, gripping hard, and he’s short and his heart’s going like a rabbit’s and there’s a red helmet inches from his nose.
The next—
The next—
What the fuck.

Summary
Leon shuddered a breath out of his frozen lungs and asked numbly, “Why do you hate me?”
There was a quiet more invasive than the deadly silence of the world beyond the walls protecting them and Leon hated himself for being so stupid— stupid fucking Kennedy saying shit he wasn’t supposed to say— fumbling for a way to cover up his fuck up, when Chris’s low voice broke the silence, saying, “I don’t hate you, Leon. I never have.”
“Liar,” Leon accused softly into the darkness of their warm refuge. “You’re a f-fucking liar.”
