What's Not In Between by [livejournal.com profile] trickpie (NC-17 RPS)

WARNING FOR REAL PERSON SLASH

Fandom: THE MIGHTY BOOSH
Pairing: Julian Barratt/Noel Fielding (REAL PERSON SLASH)
Length: approx. 40,000 words (novella)
Author on LJ: [livejournal.com profile] trickpie

Why this must be read:
This is almost certainly the definitive piece of Real Person Slash in The Mighty Boosh fandom. Nothing else exists that has the same audacity (and I mean this in a good way). The segues where Noel exists in some Booshy-half-world are particularly effective. The world of Noel and Julian is the Boosh and sometimes there is the sense that it is the 'real world' that is mad, not them. So, although it is an RPS story it is also in its own fashion about the Boosh world and about Vince and Howard.

This story charts a certain part (time?) of their relationship, or to be more precise, the bits that "aren't in between" as Noel comes to refer to them.

The dialogue is also perfect. They talk in riddles just how I would expect them to:

“The, uh. The kites are all snagged up. I don’t have the – I don’t know. I’m too impatient for them. I can’t untangle them.”
“So you came here.”
“Yeah.”
“Not my place.”
“Noel…”


Here's my third recommendation, split over five parts. I recommend reading it with a box of jaffa cakes in one hand and a bottle of red wine in the other.

Part One
Part Two
Part Three
Part Four
Part Five
