Poetic Justice by Maverick

Why this must be read:
Ah, yes! PG Ozfic. Not merely PG Ozfic, but PG comedy Ozfic - and the whole damn cell-block says "What gives? Where's the angst we were promised?" Well, see, I'mout on parole going on holiday in a few hours and I don't want to be reading that depressing shit before I get on the plane. You got something to say about that, prags?
Also, this fic is a gem. Set in an alt Season 5, Keller's back home in Em City and Ryan's filling him in on a recent McManus initiative that is seriously bizarre even by Timbo's sterling standards. The Ryan and K-Boy double-act of season 4 was more than a masterclass in the art of manipulation (and the piling up of bodies)- it was totally hilarious as well. They have this great rapport, wonderful gallows humour (much like the fandom) and a gleeful, almost schoolboyish delight in yanking everyone's chain and getting away with it. That's what I like about this fic - even though it's a comedic parody of the show, the Ryan and Keller voices are authentic, reflecting aspects of the characters that I've always enjoyed on the show but rarely see reflected in fic.
