    Summary

    “I need to use your shower,” says Bill as he lets himself into the flat.

    It is only then that he takes in the sight of the living room – or rather, the lack of sight. The sofa and coffee table have been pushed right up against the TV stand on one wall, and most of the floor space is taken up by a massive standing backdrop, facing toward the window so that all Bill can see is the metal pole holding it up and the glow of sunlight through the off-white material of it.

    “Aren’t they meant to have those at the training facility?” comes Elliot’s voice, seconds before the appearance of the man himself, popping his head around the edge of the backdrop to take in the sight of Bill standing there. “Ah,” he says, flicking his eyes down the length of his body and back up again. “Clearly not today.”

    “The water’s not working,” says Bill. “Do you mind?”

    “Course not,” says Elliot. “Although…” He pauses, dragging his eyes back down Bill’s body again. “How time sensitively do you feel about showering?”

    Summary

    Mr Stirling is drinking again.

    This is not, in itself, so unusual. Mr Stirling has always been a man with a fondness for drink, has never shied away from having one or two at the end of a particularly long day. He’s always permitted Anthony the same even, holding out the bottle in a silent offer, though Anthony never says yes. At first he had been worried it was some sort of a test, and by the time that he accepted that it wasn’t, a new problem had arisen – namely, the fact that he did not trust his own impulses around the object of the intense and silent lust that had now consumed him for the better part of a year.

    Really, he should have known better. He should have, but he didn’t, and so tonight, Anthony is drinking too.

    Summary

    Almonds gives Kershaw a proper bollocking on the way back to their camp. Anthony leads the way and has a very pleasant time listening to the two of them behind him, especially the moment where Almonds slips in praise for Anthony himself for his resilience. If Anthony deliberately stands up straighter and sways his hips a bit, that’s between him and God.

    Or: After the 2SAS-led mission, Anthony is in pain. Kershaw helps, doesn't he.

    Summary

    For a split second, Pat thinks Reg might be jealous. He’s always had a quick temper, and Pat remembers well the incident a few months previously when they’d gone out to a gay bar together and Reg had practically dragged Johnny away from the man who was flirting with him and then straight into the bathrooms. They hadn’t returned for nearly twenty minutes, and Eoin had given a very pleased and ruffled looking Johnny such a scornful look when they returned that Pat had only barely fought back a laugh.

    Reg doesn’t look angry though. He pauses for a moment to take in the sight of them, and then he hands the glasses of whiskey he carries to Pat and Johnny and returns to the kitchen to get the other two. Pat raises his eyebrows at Johnny questioningly, but Johnny just gives him a mysterious little smile and a shrug.

    It’s only a moment before Reg returns again, giving Jim his glass as well before taking a seat in the red velvet armchair by Pat’s end of the couch.

     

    Set about a year after the events of the first fic, can be read as a standalone.

    Summary

    It’s just Joe's luck that he ends up reading the entire damned book in one go. The writing is good enough, he thinks, but mostly what keeps him going is he lived it.

    Okay, a lot of it. He didn’t exactly live much, or none at all, of the relentless fucking. The book is from the view of a man who he can hear perfectly despite having not seen in nearly two years; a man who is assuredly not called Palme, nor who got a pass made on him by any sort of Major Summers, nor endlessly pursued a Corporal called Lovegod of all the unoriginal goddamned things.

    Joe has work in five hours carting around morons and good working people, and he did not ask to be turned into some kind of fictional sex fiend made-to-measure for David fucking Webster.

    Summary

    (Web series era.)
    Matt finds himself missing the days that when he and Jay fought and Jay got physical with him. He thinks its all for laughs and entertaining himself, except for Jay getting particularly harsh with Matt for the first time in years and the tension that had been building under Matt's skin bubbles over. When he feels struck by his best friend who hit so hard he knows there will be bruises, Matt finds his blood is pumping for reasons more than the sharpness of pain.
    -

    “I’m sorry Jay, could you repeat that? I wasn't listening." Matt wasn't even lying to piss him off, this time.

    Jay's eyes went wide with anger and the next thing Matt knew he fell back into the piano bench seat, his face stringing from where Jay had slapped him. Jay, still gripping Matt’s arm, twisting it slightly. Matt felt dizzy as he looked up at Jay, still hardly listening.

    Again, he silently begged.

    Summary

    In a move that has become simultaneously less (since ‘08) and more (since ‘25) prevalent in their lives, Matt throws himself bodily on top of Jay and wakes him up. It’s April 20th. What, in the aftermath of the 4/20 of yore, circa 2017, has become the most important day of the year. Closely rivaled by the day they finally got together, which, like, hasn’t swung around again yet. But when it hits this year, Matt has plans. Biiiig plans.

    Summary

    In the throes of temporary blindness, Matt asks Jay for some help. Jay obliges, after a fashion.

    "This is a trick," Jay says, wrenching his sleeve out of Matt's hand and crossing his arms. "You're just, uh, trying to get me to touch your dick so you can call me gay. I bet you don't even have to pee."

    "You're gonna find out how bad I need to pee in a second," Matt says, oddly threateningly.

    Summary

    “It’s a bit of a stereotype,” Don says, doubtfully, “you know. About inverts, getting off on dressing up as women. You know, perverting marriage, or whatever.”

    So, it’s a fetish. Of course, it’s one he would have, Don thinks bitterly, that would be his luck.

    He turns it over in his head, looking at it from every angle. He probably shouldn’t, but it’s like a loose tooth in his mouth, something he can’t stop drifting back to. There’s something magnetic about the idea of it. There’s a stirring, a waking excitement, an irritatingly physical response that denies him control.

    “Dunno, I just don’t like it. Tastes like fish, y’know?”

    “What kinda fish you eatin’ that tastes like chatte, Perconte?” says Doc.

    “The normal kind,” says Perconte. “You eat a lot of pussy, Doc?”

    Doc’s mouth twitches into a smile. “Why?” he asks, drawing the word out into two syllables. “You need tips?”

    “Needs a diagram,” says Muck, and Penkala snickers.

    “Ah, fuck off, George,” Perconte says, throwing his dirty napkin at Luz, who’s making obscene gestures with his tongue.

    “Hey, Babe, you with us?” Malarkey asks. Babe’s brain stalled out at the idea of Doc eating pussy and hasn’t caught back up yet. “You also need a diagram?”

    Summary

    The burning in Jay’s face is enough to make him itchy. He can’t identify the emotion behind it. It’s indignation and it’s mortification and it’s a new word ending in -ation no one has ever felt in history before called ‘Matt is talking about having a shitty girlfriend and that’s me’. He keeps his tight fists at his sides and his jaw clenched and Matt holds his gaze but he breathes like Jay just sent him for a race. And maybe Jay wants a race now.

    It's 2008. Matt's a little bit drunk. Jay's a little bit high.

    “You should be saying sorry for waking me up,” Matt suggests, like Jay should have thought of it first and he can’t believe he didn’t. Jay opens eyes he hadn’t realized he had closed, looking up at Matt who hovers over him. He’s got an expectant look on his face. “Go ahead, say it.”

    “What?”

    “Say you’re sorry for waking me up. Maybe then I’ll get you off.”

    Summary

    "I'm from the future," Jay says at last.

    That's not possible, is Matt's first thought but he clamps down on it because this is Jay, and Jay is wandering Spadina, and Jay is also here in his room. So. Something impossible is now possible and it may as well be time travel.

    "You're a time traveller." Matt giggles. "Holy shit. Holy shit. How did you—? No, never mind that, what am I thinking. Do you have a sports almanac on you? Any winning lotto numbers?"
