Summary
Much to Greg's surprise, Alex invited him on a camping trip - just the two of them. Several things have gone wrong already - not least of which is Greg forgetting to pack his trunks, but several more things will go wrong before they go very, very right.
Or: remember that bit in series 4 when Greg and Alex talked about Alex feeling what was in Greg's sleeping bag?

Summary
[Edited 24th Oct with beautiful illustration at the end!] Marine Biologist Alex has been studying Llyn Tegid - the largest lake in Wales - and its fragile, delicate ecosystem. Desperate to protect its last remaining, unique, endangered species, he takes on illegal fishing operations single-handedly amidst a terrible storm - and comes to a terrible end. Then the marine biology finds him.
A merman Greg fic, Alex-PoV, set in Wales at some indeterminate time in the past, but probably around the 1970s.Alex heaves, spasming to the ends of his fingers as he explodes with air. Sweet air. Precious air. Filling his lungs that sear with it and sing with it and soar with it. Air, from a soft sealed kiss on his blue-cold lips. Air, that he sucks and gasps and shudders around. Alex’s eyes snap open – the colourless nothing shattering as life courses through his veins once more.
He must be dreaming.Bookmarked by ColourMeConfused

Summary
Wicky cleans up a crime scene at a bird sanctuary.
"Ah, hello there," Wicky said, with a cheery, but respectful, smile. "Alex Horne, is it?"
The man tilted his head slightly, not unlike a bird, really. "Dr. Alex Horne, yes."
"Sorry. Doctor Horne." Wicky looked down at his clipboard, scribbling a quick 'Dr' in indecipherable writing beside the man's name. If there was one thing he'd learned over the years, it was that people could be very particular about their names and fancy titles, even in the face of death.- Language:
