I'll be your Gypsy Lane

I dug these things up for some reason and posted them to AO3. With a year and a half of distance from them, I think they're actually quite good. XD

Jeeves and the Dalston Detour
Boosh/Jeeves & Wooster crossover
That one time where Jeeves and Bertie were inexplicably in the 21st century and hung out in the Nabootique.

The Mystery Writer
Nathan Barley/Black Books crossover
It was the strangest friendship Manny had ever seen. (Dan and Bernard are mates.)

RECS.

I really really meant to get over here and pimp my Yuletiede prezzies before the reveal, but Dean Winchester had other ideas. BUT. In an unprecedented display of EEE YAY, I got ALL my requests filled, in the form of awesome fics for Breaking Bad and The Hour (why have you not watched The Hour? You need to watch The Hour.) and a lovey Downton Abbey drabble with THOMAS. Which is completely amazing and I can't thank these writers enough. <3


*Breaking Bad: Saturday in the Sticks with Jesse
Walter Jr. has questions, and he's pretty sure Jesse has the answers.

*Downton Abbey: Some Truth
Make him feel, if not like a good man, at least a better one.

*The Hour: Let Nothing You Dismay
Christmas Eve, 1965: We interrupt your scheduled programming to bring you this breaking news.
The threat of a rapidly spreading epidemic has the entire staff of The Hour spending a holiday in unexpected quarantine.

AND ALSO FIC.

Annnnnd as probably (or definitely if your name is Eggy) suspected from the suprise guest appearance by Pingu and the fact that I make fun of Morrissey and use the 'hang the DJ' line from 'Panic,' by anyone who read it, what I wrote was How to Plan Your Funeral. In which we rejoin Dan Ashcroft in 2011, Jones is not my!Jones, and everyone is kind of a dick.

It was actually really kind of fun to write because part of the request was for some subversion of fanon!Jones tropes, and after I got done cackling at the irony of a request including that going to me of all people, and after I got done nearly chickening out and trying to write Mean Girls femslash instead, it was a good challenge and I haven't written them in eons and I kind of missed them as it turns out.

Title: Landscape with Bastard Roses
Pairing: Claire/Jones (yes, you read that right)
Rating: R
Words: ~3600
Summary: One possible summer after a fall.
Notes: This came out of a couple of weird dreams I had a while back and several months later I finally finished it. Just to be clear this does not belong to any universe of mine that you have ever met.  Thanks to the_reverand for cheerleading and threats.

( The House of Jones has a garden. )

Title: You Get the Last Word
Pairing: Dan/Jones
Rating: PG-13
Words: ~2000
Summary: And they saunter vaguely back towards real life.
Notes: Thanks to the_reverand for looking over this! Any fail is all mine.
Takes place directly after One Day We'll Look Back And... Masterlist for this universe is here.
Oh! And the thing that gets bought in the shop is courtesy of silent_fields :D

( This morning felt suspiciously like goodbye... )

So map_of is FANTASTIC and drew Roadtrip!Jones and has kindly given me permission to show it off. :D

( oontz oontz )

Title: You'd Save Me From the Aliens
Pairing: Dan/Jones
Rating: just shy of NC-17
Words: ~900
Summary: Just a hotel with no heat and some almost-porny ridiculousness.
Notes: Bon voyage, eggnogged! Who I hope gets to see this one way or the other before she goes, as I'm very eleventh-hour and full of fail. Unfortunately not terribly occasion-appropriate except that it's cold. This is set in early 1999 and takes place in Rennes, France, which you'd really only know if you've ever been there and had a galette saucisse, also known as The Best Thing You'll Ever Eat With a Hangover.
The masterlist to this universe is here.

( "That'd be well twisted, snowman bumming." )

OMG I FAIL AT FLUFF. This was supposed to be fluff. I don't know what happened. It was supposed to live in its own fluffy universe but that lasted about three seconds and it turned out to be a sequel to Believe (that's the Dan/Jones/Pingu one for those of you playing along at home). But it's not Tuesday anymore, so. *sets it down and runs off*

Title: Flux
Pairing: Jones/Pingu, sort of? and background Dan/Jones
Words: 950-ish
Rating: PG
Summary: Nathan Barley's about to have the worst gig of his life, but this isn't really about that.

F-locked for now 'cause it's weird and I'm tired. I've had notes on part of this for ages and dreamed some of it last night. Welcome to my brain, such as it is.

( He opens the window and a two-cent piece hits him in the forehead. )

I thought I'd collect all the Roadtrip bits and pieces in one place.

Everything supposedly leads up to Someone Like You, which was the first one written. It's probably going to end up with some re-writes along the way as I seem to keep breaking little bits of it.

In chronological order:

I Wondered What You Were (October 1997) for booshbattle - the first time Dan hears Jones's music.
One Day We'll Look Back And... (March 1998) ~8500 words, NC-17
I'll Learn Eventually (missing scene from ODWLB, aka Shower Porn) 2342 words, NC-17
My Eyes are Brown and it's Backwards Anyway (dialogue-only silliness later in the ODWLB trip) 226 words, R
You Get the Last Word (the end of the trip) 2026 words, PG-13
These Are Our Times (Italy, August 1998) 1050 words, R
This Wasn't On My List (Santa!Dan, Xmas 1998) 986 words, R
You'd Save Me From the Aliens (France, early 1999) 913 words, nearly NC-17
Someone Like You (post-series, late 2005/early 2006) ~1400 words, PG-13
Apochryphal bonus track: Some Assembly Required (May 2006) 200 words, PG


In the order I wrote them:
Someone Like You
One Day We'll Look Back And...
My Eyes Are Brown and It's Backwards Anyway
Some Assembly Required (fits in the universe if you want it to)
This Wasn't On My List
I'll Learn Eventually
These Are Our Times
You'd Save Me From the Aliens
You Get the Last Word
I Wondered What You Were

Title: These Are Our Times
Pairing: Dan/Jones
Rating: R?
Words: 1050
Summary: Something about an open window in a hotel in Rome.
Notes: This was supposed to be done quite a bit earlier in order to soothe the_reverand's bad day, but maybe it's just as well that it's late because it's a bit heart-hurty-er than I thought it would be. Er. Anyway, this is another short that got massively out of hand, and I kind of didn't want to stop even when I did. Set to Beirut's Postcards From Italy, which was also Rev's idea. <3

This takes place late-summer-ish in the same year as One Day We'll Look Back And... (which occurs in March if anyone's keeping track) but is sort of a director's-cut extra due to being Jones's POV. Masterlist for this universe is here.

( It's too hot to shut the window, really even too hot for clothes. )

Title: Living Conditions (lame title is lame)
Pairing: Dan/Jones
Rating: NC-17
Words: 1459
Summary: Jones has nipple rings. Filth ensues.
Notes: This is brought to you by ftw302's awesome shirtless Jones with piercings. Noodle cartoons really should not do these things to my brain. XD (Also bonus Jones who I'm totally defying.)

( "What, these?" )
