Allergic to Professionalism by Anonymous
Fandoms: Taskmaster (UK TV) RPF, British Comedy RPF
04 Jun 2025
Tags
Summary
Greg was debating returning to his phone. He wasn’t the kind to make close friends with his coworkers and tried to keep work and home separate, but he was seriously debating making a friend for these situations. Richard was enough for occasional chats, but in a setting like this, he’d be professional enough to make Greg sneeze. He was allergic to excessive professionalism, after all. The choir director had reached for his phone, but Andy Devonshire started to speak before Greg could fully take it out of his pocket. At least the meeting was finally starting.
“I wanted to thank Richard for giving me the idea for this meeting,” the principal started as Greg’s lips quirked up at the confirmation of his earlier suspicion. “I know that most of you want some time to prep before the students invade, so how about we just go around and introduce yourselves briefly, and we can get out of here?”

Summary
“Your husband’s drunk,” Greg told her, as if she wasn’t already undoubtedly aware.
Rachel just shrugged. “He has to drink everything given to him,” she told Greg, who blanched at the thought. “That’s the tradition.”
“Surely not—”
“Everything,” Rachel repeated dryly, like a riff on a joke from Taskmaster that Greg had made several times over.

Best Laid Plans by Anonymous
Fandoms: Bad Golf with Alex Horne and John Robins (Web Series), British Comedy RPF
22 Jul 2024

Summary
Come to think of it, this had probably been Rachel’s idea. She always had a knack for outsourcing Alex to one of his friends when he was in a bad mood.
And he’d been in a bad mood for the better part of a few weeks now, working himself to the point of exhaustion like he had a tendency to do once every year or so. And since Greg was in Spain and Tim and Watto were getting ready for Edinburgh, apparently it had fallen to John to do what he could to help.
Whether it would help remained to be seen.

Summary
John huffed a sigh. “You do remember we’re sponsored by Cobra Puma, yeah?” he said, with more than a little irritation. “I shouldn’t have to explain branding and sponsorship to you, Alex.”
“It’ll be fine,” Alex said cheerfully, and John gave him a look.
“How?”
Alex shrugged, scratching his beard before suggesting, “We can swap clothes between the front nine and back nine."

Assume by Anonymous for TheNaturalFriends
Fandoms: Taskmaster (UK TV) RPF, British Comedy RPF

Summary
Alex wasn’t usually suspicious by nature, but while once or twice could be dismissed as coincidence, there had been more times than that that Greg and John had been, elusively, not free.
Which made it a pattern, and Alex had a healthy scepticism for patterns with no discernible explanation.
Greg and John knew each other, of course, the way everyone on the circuit knew each other, and series 17 of Taskmaster had wrapped a few weeks prior so knew each other even better now. But they weren’t mates, never had been, so to have something scheduled that they were seemingly both attending without him raised many questions for Alex.
And without any hint to an answer, his imagination had an unfortunate tendency to run wild.

Summary
Eva Malley is a stand-up comedian and comedy writer/performer early in her career. Despite some other successes, her dream is to bring a show to the Edinburgh Fringe Festival. She finally gets to live her dream, and meets one John Robins. The pair change each other's lives, but just how much? You'll have to find out.
This work is written with the upmost respect to any and all of the real people involved! It's just my drabbles, and a way for me to channel my love for Johnny JR.
Work begins with some background into the original character Eva. Actual events follow. Expect comedy, drama, smut and romance.

ie. John goes into cardiac arrest, then goes down (or have you ever dissociated while eating out)

One and the Same by Anonymous
Fandoms: Taskmaster (UK TV) RPF, Bad Golf with Alex Horne and John Robins (Web Series)

Summary
As much as Greg loved the losers and the manic whackos on the show, he also had a soft spot for those who put their whole heart into the tasks, and he’d had John pegged as that from the get. Largely because those who performed well usually bent over backwards to please him, and when it came to Greg’s ego, well, needs must.
But now he knew, beyond a shadow of a doubt, that John’s smugness had nothing to do with pleasing Greg. In fact, other than for the sake of his natural competitiveness, Greg suspected John wasn’t playing for his approval at all.
He was playing for Alex’s.
