Trajectory Unknown by Calico (Explicit/NC-17)
Heya, back again! This time I come bearing another pairing of my favorite sort - socially awkward and difficult. I'm a huge fan of David Mitchell and outside of his partner in crime Robert Webb (whom I'll cover later - promise) I had never actually read fic involving him with someone else. And then I got a delightful tip in my inbox that lead me to Calico's doorstep (or, you know, AO3 page). I was peripherally aware of Brooker's writing and had seen him on the odd programme but until I caught him paired with David on the Big Fat Quiz 2009 I hadn't really taken much notice of him. So, seeing him paired against David in fic was something totally new and unexpected. I read the first few in the archive and fell in love with her characterization of Charlie's insecurity played against David's (much more apparent yet somehow totally different)neurotic tendencies. I could quite readily recommend all of her stories but this one in particular really stands out from anything like it.
Fandom: RPF (British Comedy)

Why this must be read:
The first thing I'll cite is the premise, I'm a sucker for accidental dating - particularly when you have a character like David that is nervous at the mere prospect of potentially dating. Calico handles this with amazing ease - regardless of the path you choose to take our characters to their end.
Which leads me to the second, and perhaps most amazing, reason to read this - you get to choose your own ending. I've not seen very many choose your own ending pieces, and never in my favorite little RPF fandoms... so that alone blew me out of the water! Will they? Won't they? It's up to you. And, if you're like me, you get to read all of the variations!
It's a simple story, but full of depth and the certain delightful self-deprecation that no David Mitchell fic would be complete without.
