A Parliament of Owls
Disclaimer
The story is intended to be work of satire, even meta-satire, more possibly a farce. Nevertheless, it is undoubtedly fiction. All events and characterizations within are invented. Resemblances to reality are accidental or coincidental. Resemblances to particular fanon or particular meme-associated things less so.
Summary
Written based on the following prompt:
Apocalypse fic!
How will David Cameron lead the remnant of the country through an economically depressed Britain with a flooded London while he struggles with his newfound affection for his deputy? What will Nick Clegg negotiate for Britain in Europe and will he return to the place where everything suddenly went unimaginably wrong, not least his conflicted feelings over that one minute and thirty-three seconds alone with Cameron? Where is George Osborne, last seen in conversation with a smiling Mandelson?
Treachery, dishevelments, un-used to hardships; it's a reality wrenched from a nightmare. Just how will everyone cope?

Comments are love. Concrit welcomed. No disrespect meant to reality or to other fics. It's meant to be amusing. It is also, to an extent, one huge in-joke. The story began mid-June 2010. It finished Feb. 2011.
