Christmas in Taskerville by Illuminescence for jmurph773
Fandoms: Taskmaster (UK TV) RPF
21 Jun 2024
Tags
Summary
New York Times bestselling romantasy, "Masked Fall" is headed for the big screen, and heart-throb leading man, Greg Davies, will play its bisexual protagonist. But when an aggressive interviewer asks just the wrong question, Greg says something he didn't mean to - and flees the ensuing media shit-storm to the tiny village of Taskerville.
Hiding behind a fake name, Greg meets a colourful cast of village characters - but none more-so than the gap-toothed, shabbily dressed Alex Horne, who rescues Greg from mishaps and misadventures. The influencers are circling, and Christmas is coming - will Greg keep hiding, or will he find a reason to throw off the mask and step into the light?“Thank you so much for taking the time to chat with us today about your upcoming film, Mr Davies! I know it’s very early in—”
“—Oh, fuck! Please, Tim, for a hundred and one reasons, call me Greg. I left Mr. Davies back in the classroom!”- Language:

Summary
[Updated with an illustration for Chapter 4! 7/23/2023]
Alexander Frankenhorne has been betrayed by everyone he's ever loved, and can't stand it any more - so he'll make a monster to do his bidding and never leave him - a Taskmonster. But his efforts to keep the creature at arms length go poorly, until they are dramatically torn apart. They'll both need to change before they can find their way back to each other in a dangerous reunion.This is what happens when you go a bit too far on the thought "Alex made the Taskmaster...". Inspired by Mary Shelly's Frankenstein - including the torturous journal format and dramatic descriptive style. Gets pretty gruesome in spots due to subject matter (reanimation), and there's nothing more risqué than pining and a kiss.
All the characters named here are lovely people IRL that I would never wish any harm upon. That said, one is written as a villain, and two characters with minor appearances die.

Summary
Bambi AU.
Greg laughed again. “I know who you are, young prince,” he said, and for some reason, the title sounded more like a teasing insult from his mouth. “Little Alex no Horns, as it were.”
Before he could stop himself, Alex let out a hum of disapproval. “Antlers,” he corrected, and Greg blinked at him.
“Pardon?”
“It’d be Little Alex no Antlers, surely.”

"I can practically hear you thinking," Greg murmurs after a while. "Everything okay?"
Y/n turns on her side to face him, though in the dimness she can only make out the outline of his profile. "Just... processing today, I guess."

Summary
“It’s retail, mate. I’m not expecting perfection from some twenty-something dairy stocker. I know it’s not your passion—hell, it’s not mine either. It’s nobody’s, really, is it? You’d have to be properly mad, maybe even a bit masochistic, to actually enjoy it.”
Alex swallows, because he sometimes worries that he could very well be both of those things.

"So, what, I'm supposed to drive to Cambridge and knock on his office door and– what?"
Rhod shrugged. "And punch him in his smug face, if you like," he said. "Or maybe just have a chat. Up to you, really."
Just like that. As if it was the easiest thing in the world.

It takes two flints to make a fire.
Which isn't actually true, but it's more important to be convincing than tell the truth.

Die waarin iemand anders zegt dat Alex idd transvibes afgeeft irl
"You want me to stay?" Greg asks.
"Yes, I'd like that very much," Alex says bashfully.
Greg looks a little like he's hooked a fish, but Alex doesn't mind getting caught. "Do you want to talk, or do you want to tell me what you're into?"
"It seems awfully early," Alex says, and Greg looks confused. "Um, I meant, if we were to-" He waves a hand- "Now, then we'd already be done by ten."
"Mate-" Greg starts.
"Alex," Alex says.
Greg's face softens somehow. "Alex, if we were to, now, I would consider it a professional failure if we were done by ten."

Summary
Greg cleared his throat. “Can I, er, get you anything?” he offered.
Alex shook his head. “No, thank you.”
“Right,” Greg said, shifting awkwardly before clearing his throat. “Well, I’d offer you an explanation, but I think that’s what you’re here for.”
“Oh, right,” Alex said, his blush deepening, and he fiddled with the cuffs of his jumper, dressed far too warmly as always for the beginning of September. “You didn’t come to my party.”

Summary
[edit 6/18/23: Animation added to chapter 22] A sci-fi space fic where Greg is a spaceship, and Alex is an escaped, drug-chemist, slave. They have a bad time, finding comfort in each other.
After decades of indentured servitude on Al Murray’s private moon, Alex has made a break for it – scrambling through a junkyard in a desperate bid for freedom. He’s terrified, bleeding, and fears a laser blast in his back at any moment, but he would never in a million years expect to literally stumble upon a half-junked spaceship from the war in need of a name, a purpose, and most of all, a friend.
He reaches out his hand, and carefully wipes away years and years of dust from the cold metal surface – feeling the engraving rippling on his fingertips. The plaque reads “Geran Republic 3Ө, Stellar Monitor Warship” There’s a date too – which seems to be the commission date – forty-three years ago.
“Can I call you Greg?”-

Summary
Greg is getting irritated again. “I know I’m not one of Alex’s fifty closest friends, but that doesn’t mean I don’t care."
“Did he tell you that?” Tim asks. "That you’re not one of his five hundred closest friends or whatever?"
“I said fifty,” Greg says. “Now I’m thinking it’s five hundred and I feel even worse.”
*
Or: Tim has known Alex for two decades and knows him better than anyone, and still thinks he would rather die than hear Alex say something nice about him.
Greg has known Alex for almost one decade now, but he still sometimes feel like he doesn't know him at all.

Summary
Alex is a little tipsy and can't resist when Tim sets him up perfectly for the well-worn joke. Or at least Alex thinks it's a joke. For Tim it just cements the idea that Alex is fed up with him. He doesn't realise he's not the only one in this relationship who's struggled with the whole business of government-enforced seperation.
Or: Tim gets the wrong impression, thinks Alex is breaking up with him, and then Alex does his very best to prove him wrong.
