Thank you. I'm glad Vince figured out what to do, it wasn't all that complicated really, given that he knows Howard so well!

This was so lovely! I really liked how you gave meaning to Howard's acting, makes perfect sense! And that last sentence...all the hinting!
Adored it ♥

Thanks - I always struggle with last lines, so I'm glad this one works for you. I confess I was going to write the smut that goes after parking the bus and before the others get home, in fact I tried, but it unbalanced the whole thing and the smut wasn't really the point. And in the end the just-hinting was funnier anyway. I love the idea of Vince waking up and having a quiet feel, while Howard snores on...

I'm so happy you decided on a sequel - this makes me feel all warm and fluffy inside :)

Glad you enjoyed it. I seem to be making a habit of extending one-shots to two-or-more-shots...

I honestly can't get over how good your characterisation is in this fic. Noel, is that you?

I think my favourite bit was this conversation:

“Get on the bus, Howard.”
“The bus isn’t here.”
“It’s a - a - mental physical bus, Howard. It’s here if we say it’s here.”
“Metaphorical,” Howard mumbles, “metaphysical means magic.”
“Well, it’s magic too.

Because, well, that just summed up the Boosh, didn't it? That's why we all watch the show right there. Stop it with your uncanny ability to psychoanalyse your audience!

No, sorry, it's not me - I mean, it's not him... No, really it's not, I am the wrong sex, not nearly as good-looking, and probably old enough to be Noel's mum!

Although I love the idea of the Boosh boys starting journals and becoming members of the Haven and critiquing our characterisations... and our best jokes and plots showing up in a future series...

I liked that bit of dialogue too. Vince trying to impress Howard with long words and getting it wrong-but-right is one of my favourite sorts of joke to write!
