Summary
Mike leaned close, clearly pleased to let the lid off something, “Well, I feel like, if we’re getting serious about helping our ghosts-”
Alison couldn’t help beaming at him. He really meant it, “Our ghosts?”
“He’s making a list!” The Captain whispered, matching Mike’s excitement and Alison’s adoration.
Mike grinned, “Well yeah. I mean, yeah they’re your inheritance, and your friends, and I can’t see them, but you’re my wife, so your ghosts are our ghosts. And if we’re getting serious about helping them with their problems, we ought to figure out what that really means. Thomas doesn’t have to be the only one.”

Summary
"Fanny organised all of the village events - the Halloween Party, Bonfire Night, Remembrance Day, Santa’s Grotto and the Christmas Cracker Bash, New Year’s Eve, the Valentine’s Day Ball, the Easter Egg Hunt, the May Day Fête, the Midsummer Party, the August Barbecue and the Harvest Festival."
***
A collection of fluffy, cozy core one shots exploring James and Thomas' first year in a relationship, through the lens of Fanny's famous village parties. AKA - an excuse to write about James and Thomas being absolutely obsessed with each other and crazily (read: sickeningly) in love.
Can be read as stand alone one shots, but will make more sense as part of the wider story!

Summary
Turns out dying is the easy part. Navigating the afterlife with the recently discovered ghost of your former lieutenant is decidedly harder. As old memories are dredged up and new traumas are dealt with, the Captain and Havers get the closure they need (and I very much want).

Summary
In hindsight, it was foolish to think that getting the whole gang to Scotland for Alison and Mike's wedding would be completely hassle-free. Of course fate would find some way to shove Pat and the Captain into an awkward situation or twenty.
Or:
A sudden change of plans leaves Pat and the Captain sharing a car across the country. They endure terrible traffic, even worse music, and their feelings for each other.

Summary
James Fairfax coached Kitty Higham, the most successful British swimmer ever, to 7 Olympic medals. Her retirement after Paris 2024 leaves him with no goals, an empty calendar, and aching knees.
Anthony Havers had a bright future ahead of him in the British Army until an explosion in Afghanistan changed everything. After years of surgeries and retraining as a counsellor, he’s built a life helping others. But he can’t ignore the pull of the water, or the sense that time is running out to chase a childhood dream.
When Anthony seeks out James as a coach, both men find more than they expected. For James, despite having never worked with a para-athlete, it's an opportunity he's powerless to resist. For Anthony, it could be a chance to fulfil more than one dream.
Together they’ll discover that medals aren’t the only thing at stake. Sometimes the biggest challenge is daring to believe in a future—one they could share.

Summary
Anthony has an idea for a 'club', and his reasons are mostly self-serving. The Captain finds himself the focused topic, but with Anthony to provide cover it's a little less daunting than he'd been anticipating.
An extract from a larger work, it's just soft feelings and ghostly antics with the gang.

Summary
Tommy Button died at fifteen and has been haunting Button House ever since. When his mother finally passes on, old wounds resurface—along with the unsettling realization that the ghosts he calls family may have been watching over him long before his death.
But one of his distantly related decides to move in.
(Also I need to point this out before anything begins, I do use “—“ i’ve been writing with this since grade-school, no this not written by Ai.) (any trauma that relates to Tommy is based on something I went through as a child, but a little bit over exaggerated, not by much though)
(every chapter will have one to five parts, based on the episode; chapter 1, based on episode one, Ect. hopefully I’ll get one full chapter out every month.)

Summary
Cordelia Edevane has always been an enigma to the other ghosts who haunted Button House, seeming to prefer the company of the living instead of the lingering spirits gathered over many centuries. So when Heather Button, the last inheritor of Button House, finally passes away due to old age, Cordelia is the only ghost who worries over the rundown house's fate while the rest bask in their new freedom.
Months later, the arrival of new homeowners Mike and Alison Cooper rid Cordelia of her previous worries. However, her housemates don't take too kindly to the married couple's plans to renovate Button House into a hotel, resulting in an unsuccessful haunting that ends with a near-death experience for Alison and her gaining the ability to perceive and converse with the dead. The ghosts, led by the Captain, plot to use Alison's new abilities to make the Coopers leave for good. But to their surprise, Cordelia is prepared to keep them from leaving, even if it means foiling the mischief of her fellow ghosts.
Meanwhile, an at-her-wits-end Alison may have found an unlikely ally keeping her sanity in check; Cordelia might be the only ghost of Button House she can just about tolerate.

Summary
Pat was happy, considering the circumstances (i.e. the divorce). His new job at Button House was more fulfilling than the bank had ever been and the other tenants of the manor had been very welcoming. They were all quickly becoming friends.
Except for the grumpy groundsman who would not talk to any of them and never came to Pizza Night.
Who in their right mind didn't like pizza?
-------------------------------------------------
Life at Button House was never quite boring.
Well. It did feel very boring most days. But one of Humphrey's housemates always managed to liven things up. By coming up with more and more ridiculous ideas for pizza toppings during Pizza Night for example. Or by making Humphrey think that they might commit mass murder with their shotgun soon.
No, life at Button House was never entirely boring.

The Captain being a mysterious and mopey autistic gay mess and Humphrey being his accidental confidante and Patrick stubbornly insisting on being his friend. -
