MANDELBORNE prompt:

Mandy is reluctantly playing the househusband in the aftermath of the election - cue lots of domestic rows about washing up, feckless purchase of new cushions and so so. George is having problems at work with Vince Cable: can Mandy resist putting his professional expertise at George's disposal?

Bonus points for use of TRUFAX that they share a tailor and Mandy needs reading glasses.

(Sorry this didn't hit all your prompts, but I will almost certainly write more househusband!Mandy)

“What a day,” said George as he came through the door. “Meetings, meetings, more meetings.”

“I’m sure,” came Peter’s dry reply. He was sitting at the kitchen table, with four newspapers spread out in front of him.

“And how was your day, dear?” said George, slyly, as he set down his briefcase and shrugged out of his suit jacket.

“Oh, riveting,” said Peter. “Yes, really riveting. I watched Flog It, and Bargain Hunt, and Escape to the Country. I’d no idea there were so many hours in the day ( ... )

Your Mandelson is perfect, and I like your George also :3

I'd love to see you continue with this! Quite frankly, I think househusband!Mandelson is brilliant. Just as long as he manages to sneak some authority back later :D

(But, srsly, we all know Mandy is in control :B)

OP here: THANK YOU!!!! This is just what I wanted only better. There CANNOT be too much Mandelborne squabbling bitchily over cups of tea. They're like a cross between Round the Horne's Julius and Sandy and Mr Bridger and Michael Caine from The Italian Job.

I love the idea that some day some unsuspecting talk show host or radio phone-in will get a call from Mandy.

Can Mandy acquire a puppy? Either George buys him it to make him feel better, or Mandy buys it and George disapproves. Because he's been waiting for one since 1999...

(Firstly, I have to link this video of the most adorable Mandy interview ever, also featuring the legendary Bobby! Link: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=nalhHIc-V1U

Secondly, every time I think that there's no way these ficlets could become more self-indulgently sappy, they do D:)After two weeks of Peter’s restless moping and mounting boredom, George decided that for the sake of his own sanity, he would have to resort to drastic measures, which was how he found himself at an animal shelter in South London, having been driven straight from the Treasury in a ministerial car by a driver whose stock in bizarre anecdotes was about to skyrocket ( ... )

“You’re home late,” Peter called affably from kitchen, when George finally made it back to the house. “I was beginning to wonder if you’d left me for Vince Cable ( ... )

D'awwww!

This is seriously my new OTP. I'm starting to ship them more than Clameron.

*flails* that was just so unbelievably cute. And oh Mandy, it's your love of dogs that convinces me you can't be all evil, even if I did used to think you'd do better witha fleet of flying attack monkeys.

*Has melted*

I will end up relaying this back to anyone who thinks that either Osborne or Mandy are baaad men :3 It's my own personal fanon |D

But, yes, Mandelborne is now my OTP, thanks to the undeniable brilliance that is this domestic relationship .///.

And as always, you got the characters dead on :)

OH MY DAYS that video has won the Internet. Too ridiculously adorable.

And puppy!fic has done it justice. Love, love, love it, they are secretly such big saps. Love George not being very good with dogs and children and 'suspiciously bright-eyed' Peter /wipes tiny tear away.

Captcha: has gannets.
