[emetophobiahelp]

Complete Masterlist of The League of Gentlemen (including live shows and radio show)

Hello! My emetophobia is very mild and doesn’t often extend to television, but I have a friend who wanted to watch TLOG with a more severe phobia, so I thought I’d compile this list for anyone else looking to get into their work! I will also probably do one for Psychoville and Inside No 9!

SEASON 1

S01 EPISODES 1-3- SAFE

S01 EPISODE 4- NOT SAFE [FULL VISUAL, AUDIO + MENTION]

[6:30-6:43] Chinnery is brought to a small tent to analyze ‘the beast of Royston Vasey’. The policeman (played by Steve Pemberton) lifts some foil off of the body, and Chinnery v* into his mask, then ducks behind the table. I’d recommend skipping the scene if you’re sensitive.

[24:25-24:32] Later, after Dave, Ollie and Phil have finished their performance, Dave says to ollie that he’s leaving legs akimbo. When Dave walks off stage, Ollie says ‘excuse me a moment, I think I’m gonna be s*’ and runs off stage.

He does not look nor sound ill so hopefully it shouldn’t be too triggering

S01 EPISODES 5-6- SAFE

SEASON 2

For the most part it is safe, the nosebleed epidemic *could* be triggering for some, however, so bear that in mind.

S02 EPISODE 1- SAFE

S02 EPISODE 2- SAFE*

Throughout this season Benjamin appears quite unwell when onscreen, but not at any point does he v*.

[14:50-14:57] However, during the Denton’s house rules song (an absolute banger by the way), when Benjamin is taken to the bathroom, he crawls along the floor to the toilet, and hovers his head over the top before he is shoved in by Harvey. He doesn’t make any gestures or expressions but I thought I’d put it here in case it’s triggering for some.

This is a silly detail but if you’re as a big a fan as me and you’ve bought the script book, on page 216 there is a deleted scene involving Benjamin that could be rather triggering.

[9:10-9:18] Pauline does spit a rather gratuitous amount of saliva onto a burger, just in case anyone finds that triggering.

S02 EPISODE 3- SAFE

S02 EPISODE 4- NOT SAFE [FULL AUDIO, VISUAL (?) + MENTION]

In the opening scene, Hillary takes Maurice into the woods, when they accost the two figures, Maurice sort of doubles over and coughs, no v* though!  

[26:16-26:25] However, after Maurice’s wife mentions ‘compulsory health inspections’ he v*, you see him lean forward with audio, the scene then abruptly cuts to Pop pouring a bowl of macaroni onto his plate. This scene is a bit of a weird one in terms of visual because it’s a match cut, so be wary.

[19:28-19:43] Iris is speaking to Judee and mentions her daughter, Nicola, having bulimia – just something to be mindful of.

S02 EPISODE 5- SAFE*

[10:38-10:45] When the police invade Hillary’s home, they pull a blanket over a mound to reveal a cow, they g* slightly at the smell. It’s sounds more like coughing to me though!

S02 EPISODE 6- SAFE

S02 EPISODE 7 (CHRISTMAS SPECIAL)- SAFE*

[25:15-25:20] I believe this episode is mostly safe, however, when Lottie unveils a plate of German breakfast in front of Matthew, he groans squeamishly and sits back but does not v*.

SEASON 3

S03 EPISODE 1- SAFE*

[15:48-15:57] Carlton takes Gina to his home to stay overnight. As she’s walking along the hallway beside him, she gets a sudden pain in her head and tells him she feels n*, but does not v*.

Although, if you’re going to watch the deleted scenes, be wary of the scenes with Gina. In one of the takes, when she reaches the top of the stairs, she runs towards a drawer and v*s in it, full visual and audio. It explains why she is wiping her mouth in the scene following the one mentioned above.

S03 EPISODE 2- SAFE* [MENTION]

[12:53-13:38] Gatiss’s monologue in the mortuary does mention v* in relation to seeing bodies in a morgue, it might be slightly triggering.

S03 EPISODE 3- SAFE

S03 EPISODE 4- SAFE*

[21:03-21:07] When the bodies Alvin has hidden begin to squeak, Judith coughs slightly as a result of the smell, I wouldn’t call it a g* but better to be safe than sorry if you’re particularly sensitive!

S03 EPISODE 5-6 SAFE

SEASON 4 (2017 SPECIAL)

S04 EPISODE 1 SAFE

S04 EPISODE 2 SAFE*

[13:19-13:26] The Denton twins shove a frog into Benjamin’s mouth while Val holds it open, he g*s slightly as he tries to resist it.

S04E03 NOT SAFE [VISUAL, AUDIO]

[25:00-25:20] Not technically v* but has the potential to be very triggering. When Val exorcises Benjamin (possessed by Harvey), he flings the curtains open and flops onto the couch. He then proceeds to cough up a toad, the visual is just a mucus covered frog but the audio is quite visceral, so maybe skip this one.

Also, earlier in the episode, after Pop pays Ritchie a visit, he comes out looking rather uncomfortable and ill, but he doesn’t v* so don’t worry.

THE LEAGUE OF GENTLEMEN’S APOCALYPSE (2005)- SAFE*

[22:15-22:42] Papa Lazarou begins to g* quite violently, and coughs up a matted ball of hair. It’s played for laughs but be wary if you’re triggered by stuff like that!

[45:40-45-50] Steve’s character spits a large amount of phlegm into a bowl, I found it to be not so much triggering but more gross, but then again, my phobia is very mild so watch at your own risk!

LIVE AT DRURY LANE (2001)- SAFE

THE LEAGUE OF GENTLEMEN ARE BEHIND YOU (2006)- SAFE

THE LEAGUE OF GENTLEMEN: LIVE AGAIN (2018)- NOT SAFE [FULL VISUAL, AUDIO]

(These timestamps are for just the Royston Vasey second part of the show, if you want to know the length with the tuxedo sketches included, just add the length of that show onto whatever timestamp you need!)

[34:23-34:48] I don’t know what it is with Steve and spitting but he seems to do it a lot. In this scene, Pauline spits into a cup for quite a while, again, it’s more gross than triggering personally but just be wary.

[50:52-51:40] Another Denton sketch. They do their typical ‘aquavita’ sketch, but towards the end, after Val comes up from behind the piano, Benjamin begins to g* and walks towards the lamp post. He then proceeds to v* onto Harvey. Both the visual and audio are quite unrealistic (it’s a v* rig so it looks more like a hose pipe with water, and the sound is just Reece sort of yelling) but the g*ing beforehand and the coughing after may be triggering, so be careful!

ON THE TOWN WITH THE LEAGUE OF GENTLEMEN

This is quite obscure but just in case I’ll pop it here too!

EPISODE 1- SAFE

EPISODE 2- SAFE*

There is a flu going around Spent, which as a statement within its self might be slightly triggering, but I can assure you that it is more a cold sort of flu as opposed to a stomach bug. Both Judee and Benjamin contract it but as I said it’s more like a cold.

EPISODE 3- SAFE*

[20:36-20:40] Like the scene from S01E04, Dave tells Ollie that he is leaving Legz Akimbo, and Ollie freaks out. After he says ‘…for our gala performance of everybody out!’ he then asks Phil to fetch him a bucket because he thinks he’s going to be s*, then begs him to be quick. This is only slightly more triggering than the television adaption but I thought I’d mention it.

EPISODE 4- NOT SAFE [AUDIO]

Mike groans all throughout this scene so it’s easy to see it coming. It culminates at about [21:15-21:20], the sound itself isn’t *that* realistic but something to be wary of nonetheless.

EPISODE 5-6 SAFE

HIGHGATE HOUSE OF HORROR- NOT SAFE [VISUAL]

[18:56-19:07] If you’re going to watch the christmas special DVD extra Highgate House of Horror, just be mindful that at 18:56 Reece’s bursts a bag of blood that spouts onto his face, and in response he v*. I actually found the g*ing a little bit triggering but it might have been justt the stimuli from everything else going on in the scene. There is no audio, only music and visual.

And I think that’s it! Sorry if I’ve missed anything I tried to be as comprehensive as possible! Enjoy a safe watch :)

[anarcho-occultism]

Zombism

Zombism is a condition spread via various pathogens characterized primarily by rewiring the central nervous system in ways that weaken sensitivity to pain, remove higher cognitive functions and result in infected individuals targeting noninfected individuals with violence. Zombism has historically at times been used interchangeably with revenancy, the term used to refer to any circumstance where an individual has had all life functions cease yet remain animate. Clinically speaking, those who are reanimated via supernatural means are not considered zombies in the modern era, as though some examples of this act similarly to those infected by the range of diseases causing zombism, such as Inferi, others do not. The term ‘zombie’ is considered a slur when applied to individuals like the teenagers brought back during the Reanimation of 2008 or the members of Franchouchou, whom while clinically dead retain higher cognitive function and are no more predisposed to violence than the average person. The remainder of this article will thus focus on the conditions considered forms of zombism by medical professionals. For most strains of zombism there is no cure outside of supernatural methods (eg: resurrection rituals or use of healing potions), though a few can be defeated with vaccinations, antiviral drugs or alterations of temperature around the host.

The most baseline cause of zombism is the Solanum virus, which has existed for thousands of years. Solanum in nature is only capable of infecting humans in the present, though archaeological evidence suggests that now-largely-extinct species such as dinosaurs or mammoths may have acted as carriers of proto-Solanum viruses that made the jump to humans during the Ice Age. Solanum is universally infectious and transmitted via bites or deep scratches. Anyone infected this way will inevitably die and reanimate seeking to consume any living flesh within 24-48 hours, unless the infected area is amputated immediately. Over the centuries, there have been numerous small outbreaks of Solanum as well as at least one large-scale outbreak in Roman-occupied Britain. Solanum’s first known natural mutation was also in Britain in the 1800’s, where the ‘dreadfuls’ outbreak was sparked by corpses who rose from the graves despite being dead for years. However, Solanum is not the only natural cause of zombism. A plant known as the resurrection herb, native to the Korean Peninsula, is host to a parasitic worm that, if ingested by humans, will reproduce within their bodies and reanimate them, causing them to display behavior similar to Solanum infectees, albeit with some deviations. Those under the influence of the resurrection worms tend to have a low tolerance for warmth, functioning only in darkness or cold conditions. Additionally, the resurrection worms will be purged from the body if infectees are submerged in water, which was used to deal with a Joseon-era outbreak of zombism caused by the resurrection worm.

Both Solanum and the resurrection worm drew the interests of scientists researching biological warfare. The Darwinist Entente Powers of World War I considered using the resurrection worm as a bioweapon at the urging of the Japanese, whom had captured specimens of it from their occupation of Korea. This proposal ultimately was rejected and most of the specimens were destroyed (though the undeterred Dr. Herbert West would persist with his own experiments into the interwar period, which famously ended in disaster). However, it was the Second World War that would pave the way for zombism to become a more potent threat to humanity. Nazi Germany would begin research into Solanum as part of their broader Wunderwaffe efforts. Nazi research would ultimately lead to the creation of the original iteration of the compound known as Trioxin thanks to the efforts of Nazi scientist Edward Richtofen. Richtofen would ultimately have second thoughts about the bioweapon and would aid in destroying many of those infected with the prototype Trioxin alongside a trio of soldiers. However, samples were beyond Richtofen’s control, with a group of American soldiers participating in the D-Day landings having a vicious encounter with some Trioxin infectees during the invasion. This led to the compound being discovered by the Allies. Thanks to intelligence provided by defecting Nazi scientists Frederick Vought and Josef Merkwurdgliebe, the US would seize most samples of Trioxin in the closing days of the Second World War, taking them into American custody. A few were taken into Soviet custody or smuggled out by Hydra operatives.

In the era immediately following the end of the Second World War, it was an alien incursion that led to the first large-scale zombie outbreak. A race of aliens led by one Commander Eros attempted to raise the dead of the planet as part of a plan to prevent humanity from harnessing a universe-threatening element at some point in the future. To that end, the aliens made use of radiation to reanimate the dead to attack the living. The immediate aftermath of this saw the US government ramp up research into Trioxin, seeing the potential controlled reanimated corpses could have in warfare. However, the first containment breach on Trioxin occurred the same year, when a leak near the futurist town of Punchbowl, Pennsylvania reanimated a dead man in the graveyard, who triggered an outbreak that overran the town. Following a second containment breach not too far from the original site in Pennsylvania, President Esker Scott Anderson formally ordered an end to testing on Trioxin and that all samples of it in US custody be destroyed. This order, however, was not followed and several crates of the substance remained in secret warehouses until Richard Monckton assumed the presidency. Monckton, looking for a degree of plausible deniability, would decide to contract out research into zombism ot the private sector, settling on a company known as Umbrella Pharmaceuticals as the primary custodian of Trioxin research on behalf of the US government. Umbrella was already tasked with carrying out research into biowarfare, circumventing rules prohibiting such by also researching cures. Umbrella CEO Oswell Spencer was deeply interested in the potential bioweapon use of Trioxin.

One of the first breakthroughs Umbrella had was in removing the effect of Trioxin that rendered the host utterly unintelligent. After a number of experiments, a variant of Trioxin that allowed infectees to retain capacity for speech and strategy while maintaining a hunger for human brains was developed. It was this variant that was responsible for the Louisville zombie outbreak of 1983. Umbrella’s research would continue to develop a number of variants of Trioxin over the next several decades, each one varying significantly from baseline Solanum or earlier iterations of Trioxin. The most well-known version, the T-virus that overwhelmed Raccoon City in 1998. However, this was not the only outbreak caused by Umbrella’s meddling with Trioxin. The 2003 London outbreak, the 2006 Willamette outbreak and the 2011 Thousand Oaks and Banoi outbreaks just the confirmed outbreaks resulting from Umbrella’s actions. While never fully confirmed, it seems plausible a number of other undead outbreaks such as the 2009 Santiago outbreak, the 2011 Havana outbreak, the 2017 Little Haven outbreak and the 2019 Pleasant Valley outbreak were also the result of Umbrella’s action. The DC2 outbreak in rural Texas in 2007, while not caused by Umbrella directly, was also the result of research conducted by ex-Umbrella personnel on behalf of Biosyn. In the end, the 2021 fall of Las Vegas to a horde of zombies that escaped an Umbrella facility was the last straw and the US government forcefully dissolved the company the same year. However, the President’s Day Massacre and the assumption of power by David Jefferson Adams let key management officials off the hook for liability and allowed them to reconstitute themselves as the Randall Corporation. Only time will tell if the revamped company will continue on the path they already started upon.

While the path of Trioxin in Umbrella’s custody has led to the most notable zombie outbreaks and viruses, it is certainly not the only source of them over the decades. The most notable undead zombie strain not involving Solanum or Trioxin derived viruses in the modern era was the Kellis-Amberlee outbreak of 2014, sparked by an interaction between a cure developed for the common cold and a cure for the common cold mutating, though thankfully this outbreak was contained before it could get too widespread. Of note as well, however, is the existence of so-called ‘fast zombies.’ These are beings who possess a number of zombie traits (such as a loss of brain function and a tendency towards cannibalism and harm towards the uninfected) without becoming deceased. The Rage virus that breached containment in the United Kingdom in 2002 and hit Germany in 2010 is probably the most iconic example of this. Other similar viruses exist as well, however. In 2006, a variant of bird flu gave rise to a disease affecting prepubescent children, rendering them homicidally violent and cannibalistic. The bioweapon known as Trixie lacked the same age limits and ravaged the town of Evans City in 1973 and the town of Ogden Marsh in 2010. Variants of the rabies virus have also been documented that cause the general symptoms of zombism. Rabies variants are responsible for the 2008 Los Angeles apartment outbreak, among several others. Some zombies are the result of parasitic infection by alien races such as the Vodun or the ZQN. Other kinds of zombies are the result of demonic possession–the Deadites, the Stitched and Medeiros syndrome infectees all display the general behavior associated with zombism coupled with an explicit sort of malevolence owing to the source being demons.

The diverse array of zombie viruses out there naturally has stoked widespread fear of an apocalyptic zombie outbreak. While most outbreaks do not last long thanks to rapid governmental responses, some strains seem more likely to trigger apocalyptic consequences. The variant of the virus that hit South Korea for the first time in 2016 and again in 2019 showed the potential of a highly transmissible zombie virus, as it ravaged the country to the point it was forced to reunify with North Korea under the North’s authoritarian rule. Many have speculated that the virus was a bioweapon–perhaps engineered from the same parasitic worm that caused the Joseon outbreak–created specifically to make the Greater Korean Republic’s existence possible. A similar strain ravaged Japan in 2022, but eventually a cure was developed by Yuuko Sagami before it could wipe out civilization. The variant responsible for the Seattle outbreak-which rendered infected people hungry for human brains but retaining mental capacity so long as they could consume them-likewise was contained before it got too big. Another strain that very plausibly could threaten the world is the highly infectious Crossed virus, which couples many symptoms associated with Rage with an intense sense of sadism and a persistent ability to use tools. This virus, fortunately, is not native to our timeline and has only been encountered in extradimensional investigations (though the so-called ‘Taipei strain’ of the Alvin virus that broke out in 2021 has heavy overlap with the symptoms of the Crossed virus). Speaking of parallel timelines, others have been documented where Kellis-Amberlee or Trioxin largely overran the human race, reducing humanity to bands of survivors and petty warlords. There have even been documented worlds where Solanum pushed humanity towards the brink, though the limits of Solanum did allow humanity to overcome it after a long struggle. The specter of an actual, full-on zombie apocalypse remains dreaded, though it has been avoided.

By far the dumbest movie reference no one caught in Good Omens is : The League of Gentlemen's Apocalypse

I'm working on a theory that requires many hours of movie watching, so here we are. Many people have already mentioned that the nazi zombies/Furfur is a The League of Gentlemen comedy troupe shoutout. But I'm taking it one step crazier. Remember the opening scene from the 1941 minisode of S2E4, the one with the london bombing and the Angel statue in the bottom right corner ?

Haha sorry my bad. That's the climax intro scene of the movie The League of Gentlemen's Apocalypse. Here's the opening scene of the 1941 minisode:

You can excuse the confusion after seeing both, with how they look pretty much identical (yes this is giving me The Tales of Hoffmann PTSD, thanks for asking) And it's not very coincidental when you know who helped write the minisode.

You know, just the fourth member of The League of Gentlemen and writer of the movie LG Apocalypse. So shall we tease out all the (I'm warning you) EXTREMELY dumb quotes and story beats this terrible movie has lent to the 1941 episode? There are quite a few. But there's also a potential story arc that isn't so dumb... (TW offensive comedy, including mild gore)

In order to understand this you probably have to know a bit of background on British show The League of Gentlemen. "[A] surreal British comedy horror sitcom... follows the lives of bizarre characters, most of whom are played by three of the show's four writers – Mark Gatiss, Steve Pemberton, and Reece Shearsmith – who, along with Jeremy Dyson, formed the League of Gentlemen comedy troupe in 1995." You don't need to know all of the characters or backstory of the show, just that it's a fictional town with many fictional characters played by the same three writers (and an invisible fourth).

(Also known as all these people right here) Want to know who they plays a stand-in for Jeremy Dyson in LG Apocalypse and gets murdered first with black marker on his face?

Say hello, baby Sheen!

So we've seen the bombing scene, what about the car driving through fire and Aziraphale's suggestive line at the beginning?

Yup.

Do the characters make a deal with a Reece Shearsmith character to enter the real world through a church?

HECK YEAH. Bonus points for the green background.

A gag about fake lips with Steve? Sure.

Steve Pemberton seen here as a nazi zombie, and also here playing "Herr Lipp" (also known in the actual script as "the worst pun in the world" in the movie. Groan). What about Mark Gatiss Stealing binoculars from Steve to spy on two important characters? But of course.

Surely not the arm falling off too?

Oh dang. It's a big plot point in LG Apocalypse you say? Then, in the climax, does someone in dark sunglasses who doesn't know how a rifle works fire it at a main character, and the other character who he misses says fuck? Now you're pulling off my arm..

Well I'll be damned. The only difference here being Steve's head exploding, naturally.

I'll admit, I have trouble seeing where a giant 3 headed chimera beast that destroys a bunch of characters fits in at the end of the 1941 miniode, but I don't think 1941 is meant to be a stand in for the whole movie, because at that point in the movie the role of the main characters shifts to become the real versions of Shearsmith and Gatiss, not the characters. But even though the end of the movie doesn't track with 1941, I think the moral at the end is interesting : "In the church, Lipp says he will kill Gatiss. The other characters try to dissuade him, saying that once all the writers are dead, Royston Vasey will cease to exist and they will die. Lipp claims that they will in fact be better off, because as long as they're controlled by someone else they have no free will and can never change for the better. Tipps tells Lipp that because he saved the day and can therefore change, Lipp need not kill Gatiss. He persuades Lipp to hand him the gun, only for Tipps to accidentally fire it and kill Gatiss.

With all the writers now apparently dead, the residents of Royston Vasey prepare for the worst. Instead, everything calms down and The Apocalypse is averted. The characters realise they now have free will. Herr Lipp adopts some orphaned children, the vet, Mr Chinnery, finds a rabbit and is able to take care of it without killing it, and Bernice and Pauline become romantically involved. Tipps leaves the church, waving goodbye to Edward, Tubbs and Papa Lazarou. It appears that Royston Vasey can continue to exist independently of its dead creators." This struggle for free will outside of the plan originally set out by their creators, especially in the context of said creators not really caring about them anymore, really starts sending red flags up for me. Crowley's existential crisis at the beginning of S2E1 seems to be mulling over similar themes. The lack of any God narrator as in season 1 might be a change in storytelling technique, but might also point the the creator being absent, or having moved on without really letting her original creation know it gets to exist on it's own now. Funnily enough, this is the second movie with shot for shot quotes throughout, that places a specific set of characters at the center of their own deeper plot that has a meta level to the storytelling. I'm starting to think there's a pattern here...

i wanna roll with him

6x13 poker spec

Buck let Bobby talk him into going undercover at an underground poker game with Eddie because it’s not like he has anything better to do.

He lets Eddie talk him into pretending that they’re dating because sometimes his mouth says things before his brain has a chance to catch up. 

“It just makes sense,” Eddie is saying as they drive to the club. “It’ll be less suspicious.”

“Suspicious how?” Buck asks, though he’s already said yes. 

“Like—if we need to talk about the marks,” Eddie says. “Couples whisper to each other all the time, so it won’t be weird.” 

Buck tries to fight the shiver that runs through him at the thought of Eddie whispering in his ear, Eddie’s lips brushing against his skin and his warm breath fanning over his neck. He’s on edge already, tormented by the suit Eddie wears like it was painted on him, and now he’s supposed to survive an entire night of Eddie pretending to be his boyfriend?

He must stay silent for longer than intended, because Eddie looks over at him from the passenger seat. “What, you worried I’m going to kiss you or something?” 

Please do, Buck thinks, but this time he manages to catch the words before they slip out of his mouth. “You think you’ll be able to resist?” he asks instead, and Eddie laughs, but when Buck glances over at him there’s something dark gleaming in his eyes.

“Maybe you’re the one who won’t be able to resist me,” Eddie says as Buck pulls up to a parking spot and cuts the engine. 

As they climb out of the car, Buck realises Eddie never said he wouldn’t kiss him.

The game is unlike anything Buck’s ever seen. He’s sat at poker tables all the way across the country, from coast to coast and down in Peru, too, but they were all the same kind of temporary as Buck’s entire life was back then. They were games set up at corner tables in a seedy bar, at beaches and in living rooms and once in the back up a pickup truck. They rarely played with actual chips, and sometimes not even money, just a barter system of favours won back and forth until everyone had what they need.

This is not that. This is a table in the basement of a gentlemen’s club, the kind Buck thought didn’t even exist anymore. Not in southern California, at least. This is a table upholstered in emerald velvet, carved out of a wood Buck can’t identify as anything other than expensive. This is sleek ceramic chips clacking against each other as they move in piles that could cover Buck’s entire rent, tossed around like milk money.

Beside him, Eddie must be coming to the same realisations, because he lets out a low whistle. 

“Eddie, is this—” Buck murmurs, then remembers what Eddie had said about the suspicion and the whispering. He leans in, his mouth just below Eddie’s ear. “These guys look like they mean business. Pretty sure I’m Little League in comparison.” 

“It’ll be fine,” Eddie whispers back, and Buck only startles a little when Eddie’s hand comes to rest on the small of his back. “We don’t have to win, right? Just get to know them.” 

“Won’t it be suspicious, though?” Buck asks. “Don’t you have to be good to get into a game like this?” 

Eddie thinks for a moment, then one side of his mouth tugs up in a flicker of a grin. “In the movies,” he says, “When the main guy goes undercover like this. If he brings his girl, the girl doesn’t play the game. She just sits on his lap and watches.”

Heat rushes up the back of Buck’s neck, and he’s pretty sure Eddie can feel it as it spreads across his cheeks. “You want me to sit on your lap?” 

“That part’s up to you,” Eddie says, then turns his head so his lips land right next to Buck’s. To anyone watching, it’d look just like a real kiss.

—

It turns out to be a very good thing Buck had chickened out of playing. He’d been right about these people being much better than he is, for one, but the bigger issue is that three rounds into the game he’s still thinking about Eddie’s lips on his skin.

He’s not on Eddie’s lap, but it’s close. They’re pressed right up against each other, Eddie’s ankle hooked around his, so far into each other’s space that Buck can practically feel Eddie’s ribs move as he breathes. 

The other players had looked at them a little funny when Eddie had said only he would be playing, but understanding dawned upon them when Eddie had called him his good luck charm.

“Never seen a six-foot good luck charm,” the woman at the head of the table said, and Buck, still distracted by the fact that Eddie had just kissed him, scraped together just enough brainpower to smile and say “Actually, I’m six foot two.” 

There’d been a round of polite laughter, and no one else had challenged him.

And Buck knows they’re not actually here to play poker, that he’s supposed to be getting to know the people opposite him so he can report back to Bobby, but there’s something about Eddie tonight that makes it hard for Buck to take his eyes off him.

Eddie’s like a different person at this poker table, starting from the set of his shoulders and the way a hint of a Texas drawl slips into his speech. Buck’s fascinated, but it’s almost disturbing, like he’s looking at Eddie in a funhouse mirror. 

Then Eddie will look at him, and for that split second he is Buck’s Eddie again, the man Buck knows better than he knows himself. And it’s enough to reassure him that no matter how far away from himself Eddie gets, his Eddie is always in there.

It starts to get a little complicated when Eddie starts flirting. Because he’s been teasing the two sides apart all night, but when Eddie looks at him and winks, Buck can’t tell which Eddie it is. When Eddie leans over to press his lips to the curve of Buck’s jaw, he can barely remember his own name, let alone that Eddie is playing a character tonight. 

Eddie’s hand is on his thigh, and Buck can’t take it any longer. “Wait a minute and then meet me in the bathroom,” he murmurs into Eddie’s ear, then flashes the other players a quick smile and a nature calls.

He hopes the fact that he’s half hard isn’t visible through his pants.

In the bathroom, Buck takes a deep breath and tries to organise his overheated thoughts into words he can say to Eddie. Words like what the fuck are you doing and can you please cool it before I do something we’ll both regret. 

But when Eddie comes into the bathroom, Buck doesn’t have time to say any of these words. Because Eddie walks in with a look Buck has never seen on him, and within moments Eddie’s hands are on Buck’s waist and Eddie kisses him.

Really, truly kisses him, not just on the cheek and not just for show. Eddie’s lips are warm against his and open for him almost immediately, and he tastes like the bourbon he’d been nursing at the poker table.

Buck stands still for just one stunned second, then he’s reaching for Eddie, for any part of him just to hold on. He feels desperate, frantic and uncoordinated, but Eddie rocks against him and Buck finds Eddie is just as desperate as he is.

“Thank fuck you didn’t actually sit on my lap,” Eddie mumbles between gasped-out breaths. “I’d have come in my pants.”

“Maybe I’d have liked that,” Buck counters, breathless, and Eddie groans. 

“You can’t—can’t just say things like that,” he says, then ducks his head to mouth at Buck’s jaw like he’s trying to leave a mark.

“Then do something about it,” Buck says. Eddie looks up at him, eyes dark and pupils wide, then puts his hands on Buck’s hips and steers him into the nearest stall. The door slams shut, and Eddie pushes Buck up against it and starts fumbling with the fly of Buck’s pants. 

“Well, if you’re asking,” he murmurs, returning his mouth to Buck’s jaw. Then his hand wraps around Buck’s cock, so strong and sure it makes Buck a little weak in the knees, and he starts to move—

Buck wakes up panting, thrusting desperately against his mattress. For a groggy moment he isn’t sure what woke him, then, on the bed next to his face, his phone chimes again and the screen lights up.

Here’s the address for tonight, the first text from Bobby reads. The second one just says Dress nice.

And for a moment Buck is confused, but then it hits him.

The real undercover poker game isn’t until tonight. 

He’s so fucked.

Jelly my friend! I'm gonna take a moment or two to answer all those LOL in the meantime let me send you something!

How does Levi do the first time he changes his newborns diaper?

How does Levi and his s/o (can be self ship of course :) ) handle trying to get to all of babies needs in those early days as parents?

It's a rainy day and outdoor plans are cancelled, how does Levi spend it/ spend it with you?

Also,

what meal does Levi request from you on his birthday?

Is there a tv show you like binging together?

If there was unlimited time/money/space how many dogs would he want?

How does Levi do the first time he changes his newborns diaper?

Levi does incredible! I've always HC'd that Levi would change almost all the baby's diapers. You carried the baby for nine months and you went into labour for hours on end and your healing process takes a while. He will be shocked at the colour of it and worry a bit, but then he would look at his baby books and online chats and see it is very normal. We would talk to his baby the whole time, he'd make comments on their dirty bum and how weird their poop was. He'd be so gentle with cleaning them. He'd kiss their tummy, feet, hands and their face.

How does Levi and his s/o (can be self ship of course :) ) handle trying to get to all of babies needs in those early days as parents?

You'd both be a well-oiled machine. You will find that Levi will do almost everything for the baby and you. In Levi's mind, you have already done plenty! So, he will get up in the middle of the night for the baby and tend to them so you can get as much sleep as possible. During the day when Levi rests, you will look after the baby. You will be very organised, but you won't be pressured to follow the routine you and Levi had made together. Levi will pretty much be over-prepared.

It's a rainy day and outdoor plans are cancelled, how does Levi spend it/ spend it with you?

The sofa gets set up with blankets and cushions. You'll have hot drinks and snacks as we cuddle up on the sofa. You'd sit on the sofa together and cuddle. You'd watch movies together and if you play video games you would play games with each other, mostly comfort games. Indoor dates are really your favourite kind of dates. Levi will want a lot of cuddles and kisses. He will hold you all day long and even have a little nap with you. The two of you will not cook but have a lovely takeaway instead.

what meal does Levi request from you on his birthday?

He would want the first meal you ever made him when you first started living together. The meal he had when he came home from work to you for the first time ever. He adored coming home and seeing you living there with him and you'd cooked him the most incredible dinner he'd ever had. He was so full of love and wanted you in his life for eternity.

Is there a tv show you like binging together?

I don't watch many TV shows, I'm more of a movie person. I think Levi would be similar. He would hate reality TV and would strongly dislike game shows as well. I think maybe he'd like shows like Expedition Unknown with Josh Gates, where he goes to different countries to find lost treasures and history as well. Any show that has dark comedy in it, like inside no 9 and league of gentlemen. He'd find always sunny funny as well.

If there was unlimited time/money/space how many dogs would he want?

It's really how many he would let me have ahah! I love dogs. I think Levi would happily have four maximum, but two would be the perfect number for him. Both would be well-trained but also spoiled. They would get lots of love and cuddles.
