Fic: A Comedy of Errors (Spooks/B7)

Mar 24, 2010 19:11

One of those things that definitely wasn't what I was supposed to be doing with my afternoon off. But emerald_happy's suggestion of a Ros-Avon snark fest began to take shape in my head. Two disclaimers: 1. I apologise that there isn't anything like enough snark. 2. There really ought to be a very dark version of this somewhere. (I'll think about it).

Firstly my day has been crap and then you write this. I officially love you. Have the world. Have the universe. Have chocolate chip cookies.

LOL. Blue Peter teleport bracelets. *rofl*

Ruth getting along with Vila. Awww that is superbly cute. Yay for ice creams. HOMG Ros smiles. That smile is like Avon's smile.

LOL. I love the ending. It's wonderful. Interfering Orac after all!

And the Ros and Avon bits are awesome fun. I need to rewatch Spooks and B7 and think up some funny crossovers situations...

If it hadn't been you with your ice creams, I would have set this S8 for Spooks, S4 for Blake's 7. In fact, I am feeling strongly tempted to do so anyway. ;-)

But, heh, you can tell I ♥ Ruth and Vila best, can't you? And struck me that there compulsive attitudes to what they do and deceptively dangerous moments gave them far more in common than I'd have dreamt before writing this.

I couldn't resist the tacky-B7 props joke. *cough*

So glad that this could cheer you up. Thanks for the universe, but I'm not sure what to do with it (as someone once said), except shout at it. I think I'll give it back for the moment. :lol:

Re: Not so much a comment as a running commentary emerald_happy March 24 2010, 20:19:30 UTC

Oh my, S8 and S4. Very dark. I can see post last B7 ep Avon and post 8.03 Ros having some interesting conversations. Or Vila and Harry having interesting conversations about them. Not to mention Vila and Ruth meeting again would be wonderful. Awww just thinking about it makes me want to hug them both. Oh the angst! Then they can all make friends and Tariq can make them a spaceship and Ruth and Harry can wave them off from the rooftop of Thames house. Happy ending of sorts is a must.

Ruth and Vila are both curious and love figuring things out.

Oh and I can see Vila asking Ros "Are you by any chance related to Kerril? No. Forget I asked."

I hadn't thought about it being post S4. That would be interesting. I'm still thinking maybe near the end of S4, and S8 for both, with Lucas, Ros, Avon and Soolin forced to work together, Vila stuck on the grid (for some reason I haven't fathomed yet), maybe with Orac (Ruth and Orac?) and Dayna and Tarrant stuck back on the ship. But I think it would have to be an alternative to this, because I don't think I can accommodate both versions in the same universe.

I think everyone who watches both these shows (is that only us?) should attempt their own versions! ;-D

Re: Not so much a comment as a running commentary emerald_happy March 25 2010, 19:51:17 UTC

Vila would get stuck carrying Orac because Avon told him to and he doesn't want to cross Avon?

I will attempt my own version. Sometime in July when I have this thing called free time. Meanwhile *notes down possible scenarios*

Also, you have to read THIS: http://odainath.livejournal.com/65114.html#cutid1

*grin* More silliness. Plus FYI I wrote the last section which I am sooo proud of.

Re: Not so much a comment as a running commentary lost_spook March 26 2010, 08:02:53 UTC

That was very, very funny. :-)

Re: Not so much a comment as a running commentary emerald_happy March 26 2010, 13:14:15 UTC

I am quite proud of how much sheer insanity of Spooks fic I have enabled in the last 48 hours. *grin*

Also: currently writing Spooks the musical. It's taking over my brain. :-)

Oh dear...

Re: Not so much a comment as a running commentary lost_spook March 26 2010, 08:02:21 UTC

Ooh, good idea. Obviously that's why he's on the grid. My only problem with this scenario is lack of Malcolm, but maybe they can call him back in and pay him a massive consultation fee for the privilege?

:-D How long till July?

Re: Not so much a comment as a running commentary emerald_happy March 27 2010, 01:12:56 UTC

Oh bring Malcolm back! He and Tariq and Vila and Orac would be so much fun.

Also: And then I wrote episode 9.3

Re: Not so much a comment as a running commentary lost_spook March 27 2010, 13:22:36 UTC

btw, I kind of wrote the fic with this running on the other tab, if you've not already seen it, you might like. B7 S4 happy spoiler free fanvid.

(There's also this mash up with Monty Python, but somehow it seems such an apt pairing, it's not quite as awesomely funny as it ought to be.)

Re: Not so much a comment as a running commentary emerald_happy March 27 2010, 14:35:07 UTC

Oh I've seen those. They're MADE OF WIN. Hilarious. Thanks for linking them to me again.

Also, 9.04 is up on odainath's lj! :P
