Fic: "Being Stupid" (QI RPF; Alan & Stephen Friendship. Teen.)
Title: Being Stupid
Author: Amber (anemptymargin)
Fandom: QI RPF
Pairing(s): Alan/Katie, Alan/OMC
Posted to: anemptymargin, queer_fest, quiteslashy
Rating: Teen
Genre: Angst
Prompt: Any character 40+, Questioning your sexuality after over two decades of not questioning is hard-especially when no one believes you. But sometimes all it takes is one person to care enough to listen.
Summary: Alan’s having an identity crisis and everyone thinks it must be a joke.
Notes: This was not an easy piece to write, I’ll tell you that up front. I feel a bit strange doing something this emotional in an RPF piece, but I like how it worked out. Thanks go out to Missy for doing my first read. Major beta thanks go out to, gimmesimon for catching all the big stuff (and a fair amount of the little stuff) and allheadybooks for hitting it with a fine tooth comb. There are not enough thanks to you folks.
