    Summary

    The Tuesday after flying back from his Dick Turpin press trip to New York, Noel answers a knock at his door to find James standing outside wearing the sort of spiffed-up autumnal look he hasn’t really been into since he finished filming Repertoire. Which is confusing, but not as confusing as why James didn’t simply let himself in. Noel cocks his head. “Lose your keys, sweetheart?”

    James gives a small cough and answers in a voice thick with his persona: “Please, sir. I am DC Pat Springleaf of the Metropolitan Police Service, otherwise known as Scotland Yard, and I’ll thank you not to call me ‘sweetheart’.”

    Summary

    How did Alex and Greg end up as the Taskmaster and his PA in a TV show?
    Why was Greg not a part of "The Taskmaster" on the Fringe?
    And why is the Taskmaster the way he is?

    Well, that's a long story and maybe it contains a secret of Little Alex Horne.

    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

    But it had been unbelievably shit of Rhod, hadn’t it, to bring it that stupid ceramic ornament he’d gotten Sian, to proudly offer it up for display in front of the whole fucking world, as if it was just another ugly knick-knack to have a laugh at, and not Greg’s attempt to…

    Well, that was the issue, wasn’t it. Greg still wasn’t certain what he had been trying to accomplish with it in the first place.

    Summary

    To be sung to the melody of "Music of the Night" from "Phantom of the Opera" - Alex sings (probably quite badly, let's be honest) to and about Greg - his Master of the Task.
    There's pining and longing, a reference or two - and you can give yourself a headache by imagining Alex trying to hit that note for "next" ("soar" in the original) 😉

    Summary

    Julian hasn’t even met James yet. Knows nothing about him, probably, apart from what could be learnt from telly. How is that possible?

    But as Noel opens his mouth to start gushing, an image appears in his mind. Like a dream. Or a painting. Julian frozen behind a glass wall, and Noel and James on the other side, hand in hand, and when Noel reaches out a finger to gently tap the barrier, it shatters. A deluge of water engulfs them.
