    Summary

    Outside, waves crash against the shore with hypnotic regularity. The cottage settles around them with small sighs and creaks, and Greg closes his eyes, willing himself toward sleep and away from the dangerous territory his thoughts keep wandering into.
    Tomorrow they'll fall back into familiar patterns, he tells himself. Tomorrow the spell will break, and they'll be just Greg and Alex again, two friends on a perfectly ordinary holiday.
    But as he finally drifts toward sleep, the sound of the sea a constant murmur beyond the windows, Greg finds himself hoping that tomorrow might be just a little bit longer in coming.

    - Greg and Alex go on Holiday to a seaside cottage, where their feelings crash louder than the waves.

    Summary

    Turns out James might have practiced for Bake Off, but with Ed's "helpful" hands (and mouth), it's little wonder why his performance on the show left something to be desired.

    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.
