Why this must be read: You have to ask? Slings & Arrows + The Muppets = one of the most funniest, stories I read in 2011. I knew this would be a crack_van rec as soon I finished reading it.
LovelyPoet's Yuletide fic is a series of vignettes about an unusual acting troupe's visit to New Burbage. She matches the Muppets with their Slings & Arrows counterparts so well (Miss Piggy and Ellen!), and the result is a comic gem that meshes perfectly within the wackier elements of S&A. It's sheer crack, yet it feels like it could be canon-compliant. I would happily read more about the Muppet's New Burbage season.
"Heigh ho." Says a voice that is most definitely not Anna. "I was told you wanted to see me as soon as I got here."
"Ah yes, the tardy Americans. Do take a seat," Geoffrey says, looks up, blinks once, and then screams, "ANNA!"
"Geoffrey, please. How many times have I told you, you don't need to yell. My desk is ten feet away."
Geoffrey stares at her, then at the... the thing must be a hallucination, and then back at her, and oh, he hasn't felt quite like this in some time.
"Geoffrey, what is it? I have work to do. And you know it never goes well when you act like yourself in front of new people."
"New people?" Geoffrey asks, daring to hope.
"I think she means me," says the hallucination.
"I'm sorry," Anna says, turning away from Geoffrey and speaking to what Geoffrey has, to this point, assumed was empty air. "He doesn't always make the best first impression, but everyone says he's really quite brilliant."
