Why Charlie Brooker's 38-Point Plan to Survive the Zombie Apocalypse is Doomed To Fail by Irmelin for fitofpique
British Comedian RPF
17 Dec 2012
Tags
Summary
The plan is falling apart like a house of cards, the points crumbling one by one. It's not because of Charlie himself, or the nature of zombies, or the world in general. No. In fact, it's all because of David Mitchell.

Bookmarker's Notes
Charlie Brooker's 38-point plan to survive the zombie apocalypse is beautiful and carefully tended. Until David Mitchell comes along and disrupts everything.
Thoroughly lovely and hilarious. <333

Bookmarker's Notes
This is awesome. Except that overused word can’t begin to describe how wholly wonderful this is. It is tremendous. It is remarkable. It is grand. It is splendid.
Sam is just perfect. Oh, Sam. I love her quiet strength in this, and how much more competent she is than anyone around her. And Emma has such a larger-than-life presence - I love the way she's seized control and runs everything. This is a very special fic. <3

Jeeves and the Amatory Dilemma by who_la_hoop for lovelokest
Jeeves - P. G. Wodehouse, Jeeves & Wooster
27 Nov 2012
Tags
Summary
I don’t know if you have ever had your torso scraped with a butter knife by your valet. There is not much in the experience to recommend it. Particularly when you suspect said valet is not entirely happy with you, and so wields the implement with more vim than strictly necessarily.
Or, the tale of how Bertie and Jeeves finally Confessed All to each other, despite – or, possibly, because of – the passion-dampening affects of Giant Squirts, thwarted wrestling, unhappy boating, rabbits (both of the Luminous and Dream varieties), an aunt who breakfasts on the ground bones of nephews who displease her, and a pair of very natty yellow socks.

Bookmarker's Notes
Yes, so this is the one where Bertie's clueless and Jeeves is secretly pining, and Bertie tries to come up with a Plan to address Jeeves being off his feed, and this works about as well as you would expect. It's awesome. Read it.

Bookmarker's Notes
One of my gift fics for 2012! This is an amazing and lovely fic with parallel storylines in which Lila shows her new sister-in-law Ella that living in castles doesn't always have to be boring, and Gustav and Frederic fall in love and contemplate a future together (with many hilarious Gustavian insults and impeccable Frederician outfits along the way). <333333

Summary
Every year on December 9th, Malcolm Tucker goes for a drink with his alternate universe counterparts.

Bookmarker's Notes
Beyond the joy that is a perfectly-written Malcolm Tucker - and I seriously cannot even begin to comprehend the amount of work this tour de force must have taken - this fic is perhaps the best crossover I've ever read. It combines a deep and thoughtful understanding of both fandoms with an unerring accuracy of characterisation and tone, and delivers a beautiful analysis of political life in both fandoms, as seen through the gaze of the characters involved.
READ IT.

Bookmarker's Notes
This fic is beautiful, and funny, and deep, and I've read it three times already and loved it more each time, even though I wasn't sure that'd be possible. This is my head-canon now, in an immediate and unshakeable way. Do read this. You won't regret it, I swear.
