Summary: When Chris joins some of the cast on a trip to London for a convention, an awkward encounter with a naked Darren and some late night flirting lead him to contemplate his feelings for his co-star. With Ashley on hand to offer her unique brand of support, Chris is just trying to survive the weekend without completely embarrassing himself in front of Darren, his friends, or the eight hundred strangers he's there to meet.

Author's Notes:
First I want to thank catchmelike for being my cheerleader and reading over random paragraphs whenever I sent them! I'm pretty sure I wouldn't have finished without the extra prodding :D
The fic is set this coming summer and I tried to keep up with real life events the best that I could, but if you see something that doesn't seem to fit, it was probably announced too late for me to change without having a mild panic attack. I was trying to be fluid with my mentions of season four but I was absolutely convinced there would be a tour this summer, so by the time it was confirmed there isn't going to be one I'd written so much I just had to leave the references in there and hope nobody minded!
The title comes from Love Is A Laserquest by the Arctic Monkeys.
There are a couple of bonus bits I made myself from random information I had worked out in my head when trying to figure out who would be where when. So you can view Darren's schedule (which he checks towards the end of part one) in PDF or JPG format, and the full weekend schedule as it would be handed out to the attendees, also in PDF or JPG (side 1/side 2) format :)
So, onto the fic!
Part One: Thursday night & Friday
Part Two: Saturday
Part Three: Sunday
