Welcome to our eighth prompt post.

As ususal, here are a few things to keep in mind:

1) All fills for prompts of the earlier prompt posts go in the post the prompt was posted in. No re-posting or splitting up prompts and fills.
2) Self-prompt when you post unprompted fic. (This means posting what the fill is about in a first comment, like a real

Vince Cable/anybody

I want snuggling & comfort fic for a sad Vince after today's events. He doesn't get enough love anyway, and today is a perfect time to rectify this.

[anonymous]

WANT.

May write. Do you mind Hagle?

[anonymous]

Yay! Anything is fine, seriously! (:

Fill: Strictly Platonic 1/1

[anonymous]

Vince’s office was oddly silent, for someone at the centre of a PR storm. His mobile lay on the desk, switched off; the desk phone’s receiver beside it. He could have turned off the ringer or activated the voicemail but Vince was a traditionalist, and as susceptible to symbolism as any other politician

Lovely, anon. Hagle is one of my favourite pairings and it doesn't get nearly enough love on the meme.

Aw, Hagle <3

Aww, anon, that was beautiful! It really made me smile. This meme needs more Hagle like this.

Re: Fill: Strictly Platonic 1/1

[anonymous]

I hadn't realised til now, but the meme definately needs more Hagle.
That was adorable.
My heart...

Be still my beating heart! Oh the beauty of Teh Hagle! This anon is absolutely crazy for Vince and is very fond of William so this was a wonderful thing to read before heading to work. Authoranon, know that you have made this my day. THANK YOU!

And if you feel like writing less platonic Hagle, then I would worship you!

Captcha: Lowleg protection. (:

OP

[anonymous]

This is, genuinely, more than I was hoping for.

This is absolutely wonderful, and I agree with one of the other anons who said you should write more - I would certainly read it!

Re: OP

[anonymous]

Awww, I'm glad you liked it, OP!

I'm tempted to write a follow-up, but I'm not marvellous at sex so I can't make any guarantees.

Um, writing it, that is.

Re: OP

[anonymous]

I would love to read any follow-up you want to write, with or without sex.

I cast no aspersions on your love life, don't worry

Sequel Fill: Strictly with Permission 1/2

[anonymous]

Halfway through the third episode of Strictly, Rachel phoned. William paused the television and Vince hesitated for a moment, before answering the call on his mobile

Sequel Fill: Strictly with Permission 2/2

[anonymous]

He leaned in, and Vince realised his intent mere seconds before William's lips met his.

Vince hadn't expected fireworks. He was too old for fireworks, too grumpy and two battered by life for the earth to move. Nonetheless, it did quaver rather excitably at the feel of William's lips on his, of William's hand on his thigh, supporting his weight as he leaned in. He didn't deepen the kiss, until Vince brought up one hand to rest on his shoulder, mouth falling open not entirely of his own volition.

He'd tried, rather hard, not to want this.

"May I ask why?" Vince asked breathlessly a few minutes later. William was looking at him as though he was something amazing, eyes very slightly glazed over, for reasons that were readily apparent from a quick glance downward.

"Well, I was practically ordered to by my beloved," William said. "Though I can't deny that I wasn't unhappy with the command

Thank you thank you thank you, Authoranon! Oh what a wonderful sequel to read first thing in the morning. I adore this pairing almost as much as Cablorne and Xanderborne (don't know why but I do). I've just watched Vince on Strictly and was clapping excitedly at him. I like Vince, liiiikesss him! (:

Vince hadn't expected fireworks. He was too old for fireworks, too grumpy and two battered by life for the earth to move. This. I can really hear Vince saying/thinking something like that.

I've always thought William's voice quite sexy actually, even more in recent years.

Vince + William's voice + anon's love of bald men = I'll be in my bunk.

This is so, so wonderful!

Cannot believe such a beautiful universe has evolved from the ridiculously vague prompt I made, thinking nobody would fill it.

This is definitely my canon for these two from now on (:

Thank you.
