OH MY GOD YOU GUYS. YOU GUYS. You know that fic I've been blathering on about wanting, the one where there's a crossover between The Thick of It and Torchwood: Children of Earth where Malcolm Tucker replaces John Frobisher and sorts out the 456 in no time flat?

Well. I just found out that somebody wrote it. Somebody wrote it AND they are cleverer than me and didn't even have to sacrifice Frobisher to do it. ♥ ♥ ♥

"Jamie, be nice to the twats, they don't know any better," said the other man in the door. Also Scottish, Jack observed, but leaner, grey hair neatly cut, and he sounded a little like - actually a lot like - Jack gaped. It was impossible. It was a joke, certainly.

"What are you trying to pull?" he snarled at the phone.

"Nothing of yours, I know the places you stick it," the other Scot at the door went on.

degroove is a genius, with perfect characterization for Malcolm and Torchwood having no idea what hit them. Go read "Spinners of Earth" (spoilers for CoE, obvs, though no real spoilers for TToI) and share in my glee.

FINALLY!!! YAY and thanks for the rec. Putting it on my "to read" list. (I may even fight off OCD and bump it up a few places.)

I'm not sure I could accurately reproduce the squeeful sound I made when I stumbled across the link. XD Naturally, I had to pass it on.

I haven't watched the new series yet, because I'm in process of downloading and watching from the beginning. I only caught a few episodes that BBCA showed a couple of years ago, so I want to make sure I catch every delicious profanity out of Malcolm's mouth in the order it was uttered.

But of course. :D Well, you know where to go once you get caught up. (OMFG, how did they even manage to air that on BBCA?)

The fic's okay to read before you do, though; it's got no spoilers for TToI whatsoever.

They must have bleeped quite a bit. These are the same lovely folks who deprived us of Jack's arse.

Oh, American TV. I am so very not sad that I can get hold of my favorite British shows in all their properly obscene glory.
