Title: Jumping Hedges in the Afternoon
Artist: untldeathtakeme
Author: fickle_fics
Fandom: The Thick of It
Characters/Pairings: Grey White(ofc)/Malcolm Tucker
Rating/Category: (ie, NC17/Gen or PG13/Slash) : pretty sure it's R/Het
Warnings (ie, major character death, non-con/rape, extreme violence): language and sex. It's Malcolm Tucker people. lol
Summary: With Malcolm's resignation all over the news Grey knows two things - it isn't for real, and despite their break-up , she can't just leave him to deal with the aftermath on his own, even if it means putting herself back into a life she doesn't want to be in. Still with him no longer working 18 hours a day she's given the chance to actually spend some time with Malcolm and remember why she fell in love with him in the first place. She knows it won't last, of course, but the thing about Malcolm is a few days with him is better than nothing. She'll deal with what comes next when it happens.

It's no surprise then when he gets asked back to the party. The question is is Grey willing to spend another few years of her life waiting around for him, or will she finally get out? And will Malcolm just let it happen like he did before? Or will he finally realise the job isn't the only thing he has.
