Why this must be read: I love fic that explores the minor one-episode characters in the show, and here's an excellent fanfic about a really minor character- Strood, one of the Big Brother contestants in Bad Wolf. He gains a whole backstory, the Big Brother house is given some grim little details, and Lynda-with-a-Y is in it. It's terrific.
"Well, Strood doesn't have to worry about any of this, what with his boyfriend that he never tells us about!" Linda's voice had a supremely irritating way of dissolving into a cackle at the end of every sentence. She'd be out as soon as she got nominated, but she'd managed to cement herself with Skip's group so that probably wouldn't be for a while.
"Aww, don't be mean, can't you see he's worried about the eviction?" It bothered him that Lynda could tell. He'd already discounted her as a real threat -- for a little while, he'd thought her cloying niceness was a front for some complex plan, but even the most dedicated schemer would have given up on changing Leigh's bucket by now. But she could still be dangerous, with her tendency to be so open and honest.
"Don't be silly," said Skip, "they can't evict you, you're too tall for us to do the archway thing!"
The others erupted into laughter and Strood joined in, keen to show what a good sport he was. Not like that git Darian, the public would think. He's always so precious about that sort of thing. Strood had been annoyed when Darian had been called to the Diary Room that morning and he hadn't. That was hardly fair, and he'd said as much to the others. But probably he'd just gone in and had a good whinge and alienated more viewers. All Strood had to do was make everyone see that he was more easy-going and prepared to laugh at himself and he'd be sure to win the vote.
So why did Lynda have to ruin the effect by putting a reassuring hand on his leg?
But Linda was right -- he had kept quiet about Mark. But that was because he didn't know whether he knew him any more. Didn't really even know whether he was still his boyfriend.
