Why this must be read: Written for the 2008 yuletide  , this is a story that taps into the idea that Geoffrey and Darren must have had some really crazy-but-fun times when they were younger. Just in case you don't know, spuffyduds   is a total riot when it comes to writing humour. Peppered with both Darren's quirks and Geoffrey's brilliant theatrical mind, this is one story that brings out the LOLs. Bonus points for the way the story segues into Geoffrey and Darren in bed. Their smexin' is as organic and prickly as I imagine it would be.

 

"Fire marshal?" Geoffrey says. "For an off-campus production? Tell him we're too poor to have a fire. We can barely afford flash pots. Do we have to have flash pots?"

"I could scarcely tell him anything," Darren says. "He was quite brisk with me on the phone. And he's going to inspect us tomorrow. And the flash pots are essential."

"Well, we can at least get some of the extra furniture cleared from backstage. Oh, God, he's going to check the curtain, isn't he? That curtain would go up like a, like a curtain."

"The fireproofing is prohibitively expensive, isn't it?"

"We could afford about a square foot of fireproofing. Christ. Christ. We're closing before we open."

Darren has an epiphany, one of those moments when he could feel the touch of God if he thought there was one, and says "No, we're not."

"What? How?"

"Leave it," Darren says, assaying a small bow, "to me."

Luce, you might consider changing the link, either to Spuff's LJ or to AO3 - eventually the Yuletide archive is going to be moved to AO3 and the link will break...AO3 link is here.

Oh, snaps, I had forgotten about the Yuletide archive moving over there!

Links have been fixed (AO3 and LJ respectively.)

Thanks for the heads up, Aka. :)
