    Summary

    "So, Y/n," Ed prompts, "what would be your dream main course? Remember, you can have absolutely anything."

    Summary

    The three men stare at me in silence for a moment.
    "What?" I ask, confused by their expressions.
    Ed shakes his head slowly. "Y/n, I say this with love and respect... but you are absolutely clueless when it comes to flirting."

    - Basically just a story of Ed, James, and Sam being the most supportive friends, and trying to get the reader some action.

    Summary

    Ed laughed despite himself, momentarily forgetting about the way James's tongue had darted across his fingers, or how his lips had closed around each spoonful of ice cream with what seemed like excessive enthusiasm.

    Summary

    James knelt at Ed's feet and hooked his fingers into the waistband, easing them down carefully. Ed caught the soft gleam of James’s pale copper curls under the bedside lamp, felt the brush of knuckles against his skin, the whisper of fabric pooling at his ankles. The moment felt absurdly intimate.

    “This is the bit where you take advantage of me,” Ed muttered.

    James gave a low chuckle. “You should be so lucky.”

    ****

    Ed thinks being the dom means you're the strong one. James is going to show him how wrong he is.

    Inspired by two Off Menu episodes (Jamelia and Huge Davies) where fanfiction is discussed.

    Summary

    Per Henry's continuing work as an active member of the Royal Family (for now), he is required to do an interview with a British media company, lucky he knows a lawyer who can find the loophole to allow him on one of Britain's foremost light entertainment podcasts, Off Menu! Here are the transcripts.

    Summary

    "There's loads of fan fiction about us fucking."

    It's not like they haven't talked about it publicly before, but discussing online slash fiction in front of a live audience was not exactly a childhood dream of James'. In fact, he's hoped to avoid the subject, along with the all-too-complicated feelings it stirrs in him. But what can you do?

    And the one time they all realised he needed one.

    Or: sometimes, actions speak louder than words. When it comes to trying to be a good friend when he's barely got his own shit together, Ed finds there's always one tactic he can fall back on.

    Summary

    In the aftermath of their disastrous trip to the park, Greg returns home with his three boys to deal with the ramifications of Ed's breakdown. But taking care of an exhausted, hurt, and traumatised little is far easier said than done.

    Calling Mike feels like a good first step.

    Summary

    Ed is used to taking care of himself.

    He's also used to taking care of others, like James and Alex, because sometimes they're little and they need caring for. It doesn't matter what Greg says; he doesn't have to be little like they do. He doesn't need people to look after him. Never has. And he's spent his whole life proving that, and hiding the truth, and he's gotten very good at it. If it wasn't for that stupid task, no one would even have found out! No one would be treating him like he's any different. He's still him, he's still the same Ed. He can be big if he wants to.

    Throwing a massive tantrum in the park whilst watching Little Alex Horne play football kind of puts a dent in that plan.

    Summary

    It isn’t the decor or the other guests at the heart of the problem. It’s Noel. It’s that somehow, even after months of reassurance, James is scared to show his boyfriend his little side.

    If he’s being honest, James knew that his day was fucked long before he was hammered and bent over behind a bar licking a giant block of cocktail ice, all to be put on YouTube.

    Summary

    He can hear Ed in the kitchen behind them, cooking something and humming to himself. Must hand it to him, that does make this feel very domestic, like Alex really is a schoolboy over at his friend’s house for dinner. Except he’s forty and his friend is thirty-four, and his friend’s ‘dad’ is a year younger than that, and also his friend is drinking water non-stop until he wets himself.

    Summary

    The year is 2019, and life has become quite dull for you since graduating from university back in 2011. You used to do stand up comedy at uni but lost yourself in routine. One night, your best mates decide to encourage you to try comedy again and this is where you stumble across your old friend and old flame, Rhys James. Your life flips over and you dive into the world of the close-knitted comedy circuit. In the midst of it all, you end up meeting a particularly distinctive red headed fellow who could become a confusion for you and your past feelings for Rhys. Is life bringing back meaning to you again?

    A/N: Had to update the timeline of this story for it to make sense to when Rhys James went to uni because otherwise the reader would not have met him there! Whoopsie.
