    Summary

    Merlin's employees bet him the recipe for the most addictive cocoa in the world that he can't find out what the hot blond who comes into his chocolate shop does for a living within the month. He ends up getting far more than he bargained for.

    Summary

    “There has to be something,” Trent muttered, furiously scrolling through his feed. Each suggestion he found was debunked by the next post, with many parents swearing up and down that certain techniques made the whole thing worse. Trent stopped on a video of a mother taking scissors to her daughter’s curls and bit down on an actual sob building in the back of his throat.

     

    It was right before Trent let it fly that his mobile rang.

     

    Coach Ted Lasso (from America).

     

    Trent couldn’t say what possessed him to answer with his throat thick and his eyes prickling, but his traitorous hand had already swiped while his mouth said, “I have to shave my head.”

     


    Or: 5 times Ted got to touch Trent's hair and one time he returned the favor.

    Summary

    Gillion’s lungs stop, his diaphragm spasming as it can’t decide whether to pull air in or push breath out and Gillion’s hand slides down to grip Chip’s shoulder. His eyes burn with tears and impossibly a panicked laugh bubbles up in his chest. Chip is dead. Chip is dead.

    JRWI Riptide as the Muppets, why has no one ever thought of this before????

    Complete with references, running gags, and Gillion as Gonzo and Animal

    Summary

    And Gillion understood. He did, he knew what this was, he understood the miscalculation he’d made, and he knew that Chip wouldn’t hurt him, that the worst he’d do was taunt him before letting him go, that this was just a way for him to prove that he’d well and truly won.

    But he couldn’t help the freezing.

    He was on his back, and he’d been turned so quickly that his brain couldn’t quite catch up, and he thought he might still be spinning, and he couldn’t help the locking up of his muscles, forcefully relaxing against his will, leaving him unable to writhe or push or get Chip off of him.

    /////

    Or: Gillion has experienced tonic immobility before. He just didn’t think that it would be so much worse on land.
