Why this must be read:

First, ref. the summary. Okay. This is crack!AU and really, those are two genres I approach warily. It is simply too easy for a writer to get so enamored by the idea of what they are writing that they forget about things like, oh, characterization. Not so much with FiAndyFic -- the combined forces of Fi and Andy make for amazing results, and while they are known for their dark and downright evil fic-making, Andy created this little gem which is not only 100% in character but just...just...FUNNY! Hysterically, ball-busting FUNNY! Rolling on the floor, tears streaming down your face FUNNY! I think so, anyway. It is wrong in a thousand ways, which makes it oh-so-right!

Warnings for foul language (Gene Hunt, oh, Gene Hunt, you potty mouth) and the real possibility that you will laugh so hard you pee yourself. I mean it. Don't say I did not warn you!

I should apologize for reccing this, not because it isn't BRILLIANT (it so totally IS!), but because you do have to have a familiarity with the characters of LoM-UK in order to get it. If you are new to LoM, this probably isn't the fic for you to start with -- it is outrageously funny, though, so I feel bad about warning anyone off it. *frowns at self* Never mind, read it anyway, okay?
