Summary
“Do you make it a habit of collecting husbands, Y/n? Are you going to put them on a shelf, next to your little awards and your family photos?”
There’s a hot flush crawling up my neck, equal parts shock and humiliation. “What are you—” I start, but Greg cuts me off, his voice low and mean in a way I’ve never heard before.
“Maybe you should think about how it looks, before you go snogging a married man.”Series

Summary
Greg grins. “This—” he gestures at the table, at us— “this is drama. Y/n’s got four blokes circling her like some sort of reverse Jane Austen.”
James, already three-quarters through his soda, grins. “You’re saying Y/n is the new Mr. Darcy?”
“More like Mr. Bingley, if you ask me,” Ed says, mock-somber. “Unfailingly polite and secretly devastating.”
Rachel leans in, elbow on the table, eyes wicked. “If Y/n doesn’t have at least four boyfriends by Valentine’s, I’m going to consider the entire British comedy scene a failure.”Series

Pythagoras, Oh, Polycule by teatimeready

Summary
The word—*polycule*—hangs in the air like an accidental fart, impossible to ignore but also too gauche to point at directly. I can’t tell if James is trying to destabilize the conversation or settle it. It’s always a coin flip with him.
“Polycule,” I say, testing the syllables for bitterness. They taste disappointing, like flat tonic. “Is that what we are?”
James shrugs. “We’re not *not*.”
