Summary
"In Spotless, Robert breaks into Walsh’s office with Fran to steal his marriage certificate back, but Walsh comes back from lunch early so Fran and Robert pretend like they'd snuck in just to make out, and they get away with it."
Martin tilts his head to the side. Jon's eyes follow his lips as he speaks and it is awful, just awful, the way that Martin leans in closer without even thinking about it. Something hot and heavy builds up in Martin's gut. It feels like trouble.
"What does that mean?"
Jon frowns like it’s obvious. “I’m Robert and you’re Fran.”

Summary
The bedsheet around him smells like Juno, which is a sorry reminder that at the moment his presence is nothing more than a past tense. And Juno smells like whiskey and sweet sweat and the type of laundromat detergent they offer in low income areas, the type that's more acid than soap.
Juno Steel left.
He catches his own reflection in the mirror.

Summary
"What is this," Martin looks up and asks, flatly.
Sasha doesn't look all that phased or upset, but she trips over her words a bit like she is. "It's a — well, a pen-pal... thing! I ripped it off of the wall at the pub." Sasha rips everything off of the wall at the pub.
"And you want me to sign up for it." Martin squints, skeptically, and then adds as an afterthought, "there is no way you got this off of the wall at Harp & Crest."
Tim and Sasha think that Martin ought to do something about this whole loneliness business.

Summary
His lashes are thick with cheap drugstore mascara, and the product is smudged under his eye where he's made a few mistakes. Martin hasn't shaved in awhile, and Tim finds that the tiny bit of scruff looks good on him, frames his face in a nice way. He's got earrings in both ears, gold little symbols of anarchy. Tim takes a moment to count the freckles on his forehead. There are 18 of them, and they go all the way up into his hairline.
"Are you going to kiss me or not?"
"That's my favorite Thompson Square song," Tim tells Martin before pulling him in closer, licking his way into his mouth with enthusiasm.

Summary
“You know what, Jon?" Martin says boldly, rolling up the sleeves on his jumper, “I bet that I can make you a cup of coffee that you won’t hate. I’ll make you a cup so good that you’ll want to stop drinking tea.”
And the way Jon says “you’re on," the curious look on his face that Martin can't quite parse -- well, it makes Martin go warm all over.
“Okay," he snaps out of his gaze and he walks while he talks, "let’s get back to work. Tim, here are two cases for you, file them away for me if you would? Sasha, keep up the good work. And Martin,” Jon pauses.
“Yes, Jon?”
“Looking forward to tomorrow’s coffee."
Martin insists that coffee isn't all that bad and, respectfully, Jon disagrees.

Summary
Timothy Stoker has a lot of advice when it comes to matters of the heart, online agony aunt, gossip monger and general love guru. He has a list and he sticks to it.
Or he did.
That was before he took a job at the Magnus Institute and before he met three of the most fascinating and frustrating people to ever come into his life.Rule #7 under no circumstances fall for a co-worker.
Yeah, that rule was starting to become a problem.- Language:

Summary
"Truthfully, Monty hadn’t wanted to come back. But two months out of rehab, the medical bills had started piling up, and his mother finally pulled herself together and decided to leave, but she hadn’t the forethought to get a job or save any money or even try to get a lawyer, and he felt a certain obligation to pay for some of it. And there weren’t nearly as many job offers as the producer thought. When your only redeeming quality is ruined, it’s harder to get on TV. Monty’s never seen a sex symbol who looks like half of his face has been run over by a flaming truck, and there’s only so much makeup artists can do. So here he is, pretending like he’s not begging for his old job back."
Monty is a professional dancer on TV's 'Nine to Jive' who's only in it for the money. Percy is an indie singer-songwriter who really wasn't even expecting to get picked. They're bad at communicating but good at dancing. Please excuse me while I project.
(my draft is called *aggressively cries over trans percy and dancing competitions*)

Summary
On impulse, Monty signs up for the reality show Altarcations. On the show, two strangers are set up by the show's experts and get married without any prior knowledge about the other. In truth, Monty only signed up to spite his father, who had been hounding him to get married for months now. Monty never really expected to be chosen for the show. And he definitely didn't expect to be set up with another man.

Summary
“We shouldn’t just bet on them. We should try to get them together.”
“Yes!” Sasha cheers. It’s rather unclear if she’s specifically cheering him on, or just babbling into the empty air, because that’s the kind of thing Sasha does when she’s drunk.
“Initiative…. y’know? Sash, we need to show initiative. Like they do on resumes.”
“Yeah!”
In his defense, it had sounded like a good idea while they were getting smashed at three in the morning. Lots of inadvisable things sound like good ideas while getting smashed at three in the morning, but now that they’ve committed to it, they can’t just stop.
(Or: Tim and Sasha have plans. Also a spreadsheet, and an alarming number of doughnuts.)

Summary
Martin is the proprietor and manager of a very discrete and fairly exclusive brothel situated between Belgravia and Chelsea. Blackwood House excels at special requests and pleasing any client.
Except for Jon, who probably has never been pleased a day in his entire life.
Despite that, he still comes back. It eventually begs the question: how do you solve a problem like Jon Sims?
