Tangled Thread (Inside My Head) by Anonymous

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
“Maybe it’s a guessing game,” suggested Alex, who had by now got the hang of rhetorical questions, but found it amusing to pretend that he hadn’t.
“The Taskmaster doesn’t play games,” she snapped. “He isn’t you.”

Summary
"Lads," Paul says. Greeting. Assessment. Warning all in one word.
"Hi," Lando says. Too cheerful.
"What are we making?"
"Battenberg," Oscar says. More measured. More controlled.
"Why Battenberg?"
They'd discussed this. Practised this. The answer about two colours coming together. About precision and balance. About partnership.
What Lando says is: "It's got squares."

His results stated that he was just another beta, and Alex had never questioned it…
A/N: chapters 1-2 edited, rest should follow.

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
"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?
