QI Fic: Spoonful of Sunday

[kat_lair]

***

Title: Spoonful of Sunday
Author: kat_lair/ Mistress Kat & pushkin666
Fandom: QI RPF
Pairing: Alan Davies/Stephen Fry, Kenneth Branagh/Hugh Laurie/Emma Thompson (background), Stephen Fry/OMC (past), Alan Davies/OMC (past)
Genre: coffee shop AU
Rating: R
Word count: 40,730 (ahahaha ughhhhh)
Disclaimer: This is not a real story about real people. This is a fictional story about fictional representations of real people.

Summary: Alan owns a coffee shop. Stephen owns a caffeine addiction and a sweet tooth. Neither of them own up to their feelings, at least not out loud. Cue mutual pining and a lot of cake.

Author notes: Look, this is sheer, ridiculous authorial self-indulgence of clichés and more food related stuff than January diet really allows for. You might still enjoy it. margaret_r said she did even after beta-reading it (bless her) so who knows? Read with coffee and cake, you’ll probably want some anyway.

this was very cute, I love it.
two questions:
is Tony Tony Robinson or Tony Slattery?
how do you make quiche without eggs or cheese?

[margaret-r.livejournal.com]

Yay, you've posted! :D

So - all downloaded. Twice. I d/l'ed all four parts from P's post(s) intending to link and convert later and determined, though muttering under my breath about old fashioned ways of doing things whilst realising I am a spoilt child. Then (yes, of course I always scroll backwards through my f'list's posts - doesn't everybody???) found yours and got the AO3 version all tidy and converted. Thank you!! *hugs you both*

Thank you! We really just wrote it to amuse ourselves so I'm happy if it entertains others.

Tony Slattery would have been who we were thinking about I think :D

Hah! It is possible to make a vegan quiche with tofu, just google it :D I must confess though that I didn't think it through at the time of writing!

[kat-lair.livejournal.com]

We did! Thank you again for your beta help.

Expect fluffy ridiculousness. This kept us entertained for a while, writing wise :D And glad you found the easily downloadable version!

the only snag is now I want cake and I'm on a diet

[milly-gal.livejournal.com]

DUDE I so left a comment on this, then tagged it for a later re-read and discover - NO COMMENT! Damn you lj!

This has been very lovingly placed upon my hard drive with the full intention of wine and low lighting and a do not disturb on the door!

*AIEEEEEE*

[kat-lair.livejournal.com]

Yeah, this did get a bit like food porn at times...

[kat-lair.livejournal.com]

Bad LJ for eating the comment!

Hee, excellent. I hope you enjoy the romantic date with this fic. Although coffee and cake would probably go better with it than wine... :D

[chocolate-frapp.livejournal.com]

my usual food porn is the great British bake off

[milly-gal.livejournal.com]

*snorts* Right now it's gonna be lemsip and painkillers as an accompaniment!

[kat-lair.livejournal.com]

Hah, mine too! Sue and Mel aren't bad on the eyes either :D

[chocolate-frapp.livejournal.com]

Roomie thinks Sue is David Tennant's sister!

[kat-lair.livejournal.com]

Hah, is it the converse? I'm now imagining her as the Doctor and that would be so awesome :D

[kat-lair.livejournal.com]

Aww, poor baby! Hope you feel better soon.

[chocolate-frapp.livejournal.com]

I didn't even notice the similarity till he brought it up and I can't unsee it now!

[milly-gal.livejournal.com]

I feel ten times better than I did Monday but I still haven't managed to read this and I'm slowly starting to froth at the mouth, lol!
