So Andy and I have been rewatching The IT Crowd (which is such a great show, and everyone and their mum is in love with Noel Fielding (and rightfully so), but I feel compelled to say, 'Richard Ayoade, let me have your babies'), and so I went and re-read some of my favorite pieces of IT Crowd fanfic, which OF COURSE are Moss/Roy fics. A whopping three of them, in fact (I kind of can't believe there isn't, like, a boatload more of this, but since it's kind of a niche/cult sort of show in the US, I guess I should be happy it exists at all... although, being that the Internet is, in fact "worldwide," that... doesn't actually explain why there isn't more fic, does it? Hmm).
Anyway.
The Amorous Adventures of Two Proper Men, by
thevampirepam. Very cute, directly based off of the kissing scene in "Are We Not Men?" (season three). Not my favorite of the three, but still a fun story.
The Eviction Notice, by shrift at AO3. This story (and the following one) are just all around amazing fics - spot on characterization, voices, tone - reference that hit that right chords, sweet and awkward and going just far enough to get the point across without descending into porn (this is one of those pairings that, while I could occassionally be swayed, I'm more about the pre-slash/PG stuff than I am about the porn). Just a great, cute story.
The Second Work Outing, also by shrift at AO3. Ditto from the above. I love the way s/he writes everyone, including Jen and Richmond, for the brief time either of them are in either of these fics, they are totally themselves and perfect. Much love for these stories.
If anyone else watches the show, and generally wants to squee with me/swap favorite scenes/drool over Chris O'Dowd, Richard Ayoade, Noel Fielding, or Matt Berry (SHUT UP)/trade favorite fanfic recs, please do so!!
