in memoriam sequel but instead of a literary story of gauntwood processing all their trauma its a comedy sitcom about life at the british embassy in brazil in the style of Parks and Rec or the Office
gaunt looking judgementally at the camera while a colleague he hates gives a terrible presentation on translations
ellwood flirting with gaunt in the tearoom trying to ask him on a date even though they literally live together as life partners - gaunt not noticing it was flirting - ellwood withering against the tea kettle as if this is the greatest trial of his life
the embassy being overrun by marmoset monkeys one day. gaunt stays very still at his desk, frozen in place until its over (he's still there the next day and ellwood is Fed Up TM)
ellwood giving a dramatic talk to the camera about the Trials of Ellwood (its just something about which cut flowers to choose for an embassy event) and gaunt in the background just like . . .
a bottle episode of gaunt and luis hijinks when they get trapped inside the dumb waiter in their house. ellwood is going about whole his day oblivious, assuming gaunt is just chilling in the library reading thucydides
recurring character gideon devi who turns up every now and then to make ellwood's life hell. it doesnt make narrative sense as he shouldn't even be in brazil but no one questions it except ellwood and he never gets a real answer
and of course the obligatory cheesy/adorable/sexy scenes with gaunt and ellwood where gaunt eventually realises ellwood was flirting the whole time and then they sleep together in the copies room
