2) Self-prompt when you post unprompted fic. (This means posting what the fill is about in a first comment, like a real prompt, and commenting on that with your fill.)

So a lovely anon wrote the fantasticly angsty fill 'Anyway':

http://lolitics-meme.livejournal.com/6006.html?thread=12387446#t12387446

And I am shamelessly asking for more in this universe because I am a complete angst whore!

I need to know whats happens next, eg: does George find out about the fragile state of the Mandellbell relationship from Nick and determine to break them up to get Peter for himself, will Alastair head for a complete breakdown if he sees Peter with George, and is Nick feeling guilty for what he almost got Alastair to do or does he now find he is actually attracted to him now he knows how damaged the man is.

:D My ego is purring... I especially love the idea of George exploiting their unstable relationship to get Peter. Let us see what happens. <3

Other anon is excited about this (and is genuinely terrified about the prospect of her OTP breaking up).

Damn meme, what have you done to me??

Very nice prompt, Peter belongs to George (FOREVER!) and Alastair can go on with Nick, would love to read it. <3

I'd almost forgotten that I used to write Osborne & Clegg all the time! :'D Also, I decided to write everything in the prompt, so have the first few parts & hopefully it'll finish soon. <3It was early morning by the time Nick stumbled through his own front door. Wringing his hands, he went straight to the fridge and poured himself a glass of wine before sinking into a chair ( ... )

"Calm down," hissed Nick, "stop being such a disagreeable arse. You're not going to do anything. We're going to leave them both well alone from now on - their having a really rocky phase at the moment and they don't need us hanging around to complicate matters further ( ... )

There was never any conscious decision on George's part to split up Peter and Alastair. He wasn't capable of the malice or forethought required to examine the cracks in their relationship and exploit them until he had Peter for himself, but on some subconscious level he was massively cheered and encouraged by Nick's report. The fact that Alastair had (almost) been unfaithful, that the two of them had apparently fought in front of Nick - it was all very reassuring. Maybe he did stand a chance, after all.

What George lacked in cunning he made up for in childish pig-headedness, and it was in this spirit that he called Peter just after noon. "Hi," he began, only a little stiffly; "it's me. I know last night didn't quite go according to plan -"

"Not your plan, perhaps," Peter sniffed. "I was quite satisfied ( ... )

"Look," spat Peter, "I don't care what judgements you choose to make about us. But if you've only invited me here so you can slag off Alastair to my face then I'll be leaving."

George caught Peter's arm, desperately guiding him back to his seat. "Don't go," he pleaded. "We can talk about whatever you like, Peter. Don't you ever just want to do things differently?" He smiled cheekily - in a way that made him look pretty sinister - and raised a dark eyebrow.

With a sigh, Peter picked up his coffee again and blew on it thoughtfully. "Okay," he murmured. "I'll stay for a little while."

"Why only a little while? Stay all day. It's not like you've got anywhere to go any more." George suppressed a guffaw.

"I've got a house to run and mail to answer," Peter replied icilly. "So don't waste time, George. You've got me all to yourself, just as you wanted. Let's talk."

When they parted ways just less than an hour later, it was with plans to meet up again when George wasn't so caught up in running the country. As Peter smirked while watching the young man count out a tip, "Here's hoping we won't have to wait long ( ... )

"But..." Nick paused, confused. "You and I haven't slept together yet, either." Yet? What's with the 'yet'? "I called it off at the last minute, remember?"

"I know that!" groaned Alastair, sticking his head round the living room door into the hall to make sure Peter was out of earshot. "But I haven't told him yet, have I? It's... hard..."

Nick was baffled. "What the hell are you thinking?" he demanded. "Why don't you just tell him?"

"I mean, I'd sound so... silly," Alastair explained, ashamed. "After that big fight we had in front of you, acting like it didn't matter to me - just letting you slip away would be pathetic."

That word again. Nick clenched his teeth. "Get over yourself," he snapped. "What you did in letting me go was sensible and noble. The only thing that's pathetic is not being able to admit it to Peter! How old are you, seventeen? Grown men shouldn't need to lie about their sex lives ( ... )

OMG OMG OMG Have only just got into this 'verse and I neeeed more like drugs. Seriously gripping work, authoranon!

Re: Fill 4/? anonymous January 2 2011, 10:30:53 UTC

Thanks, I was beginning to suspect the whole thing was invisible. :) Working on part 7 right now!

Re: Fill 4/? anonymous January 2 2011, 14:52:47 UTC

Anon this is brilliant! I am loving this fill. Please update soon other swise I shall break my f5 button.

Re: Fill 4/? anonymous January 2 2011, 16:49:38 UTC

Steady! :D Thank you, I'm glad to hear you're enjoying it so far. I normally never post until it's all written but with such a long fic, you know... sorry!

Re: Fill 4/? anonymous January 2 2011, 16:31:39 UTC

OP here- feeling like I am having a second christmas.

Thank you author anon- this fill is everything I could have imagined and more.

Love it all- The dis-functional dynamic of the Mandelbell relationship- so intense and broken, the bordering around a break down Alastair with a vulnerable side deep in there that makes you want to cry, the good/evil sides of George knowing he should leave Peter alone and knowing he is not going to manage it, and the unexpected but so real George/Nick friendship, and Nick angsting about whats he seen of Alastair and somehow attracted/repelled at the same time-

I don't know if I have ever liked a fic more (feel bad for wanting Mandelbell to break up and Alastair to disintegrate- but also so good)!

Am so waiting impatiently for more!!!
