Oh my gosh Xys, that was... that was beyond perfection. I giggled and cackled and laughed so hard. I could quote the entire story back to you for favourite bits, but just.... You twisted the fairytale so deliciously and fitted into LoM canon, and all those small bits about policing you put in, the soldiers, HIS GLADYSNESS, and I just fhdsakjdhjakhfjdka. You should write such crack more often. <333333333333333333333333 Thank you SO MUCH for this brilliant fic!!

Crack is definitely the word for this. Glorious, wonderful, precious crack. :D

I haven't even had my coffee yet, but I'm still here giggling over the mere concept of Morgan trying to wear white loafers with his horrible waistcoat. And thanks so much for the mental image of Ray applying Chanel lipstick, because no amount of brain bleach is going to scrub that one away... doesn't he know all the *classy* stepsisters wear Yves Saint-Laurent? :P

Also, I appreciate the fact that you allowed this to be 4,500 words. It makes me feel a little better about NOTHING I EVER WRITE BEING ANYWHERE NEAR SHORT... this makes me feel like it's okay to just go ahead and let it happen. XDDDDDD

This also makes me want more LoM fairytale adaptations. Hmm, maybe we should all take turns writing one? It obviously makes great comic relief. I had a ton of fun reading this! <33333

Ray couldn't afford Yves Saint Laurent on a DS's salary...

Hahahaha long fics are gooooood! Keep 'em coming!

Really really glad you enjoyed it, and sorry this reply is so late! <33333

Xys oh my god. This is just amazing. Firstly, it's absolutely hilarious. Secondly, the fluff at the end is marvellous, and thirdly - the meta that's going on here..... I LOVE it XDDDDDDDDDD

Things like this:

“Well, it’s either you or me, apparently,” Annie shrugged, “and inter-species does tend to be frowned upon."

"“My son danced with one of you tonight, at the Palace Ball. But he will not recognise this stranger, because they kept their hood up. Which, if you ask me, was a bit suspect really, so I’ll be CRB checking this bloke when we find him.”

And “Where’s the bloody script? Someone fetch me the bleeding script!”

AGH, SUCH PURE AND AMAZING CRACK <33333333333333 It's wonderful! XD <333333

This is hilarious!!!! Love the characterisations of all of them... the mention of the blood spatter book made me chuckle loudly!

Great idea, and very good execution! Thanks for a fun read!

(Just one thing that threw me while reading... shouldn't this: "arriving seconds before Litton, Chris and Ray" be "arriving seconds before Morgan, Chris and Ray"?)

[xysabridde]

(Thanks, I'll take a look and try to change that :D)

Really glad you liked it! Thanks hugely for your comment!!

Ahahahahahahahaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa! This is hilarious! Thanks Xys, what a laugh.

Love the idea of us taking turns writing fairytale fic, but I fear the bar has been set so high it'd be difficult to even approach.

So funny, loved the whole high jinks tone, and bringing in so many characters. Really great :D
