fic n° 022: Unexpectedly intimate 🔒

  • 963 words,
  • Political RPF, Nick Clegg, Ed Miliband
  • gen
  • Written for lolitics-meme. Prompt: A nice fluffy story about these two comforting each other? They don't have to be in a relationship or sleeping together or anything, maybe just something gen like one of them is sitting in a cafe daydreaming and the other sees them and just joins them at the table and they kinda talk for a bit? About things that other people 'don't just get' about their position or about the future, etc. Or hot, emotional sex, I literally don't mind.

Awww. This was really sweet, author!anon, with just the right balance of cynicism and wariness and world-weariness from Nick to make it seem plausible. You've really pegged both their voices, too. It's a great little slice of parliamentary life.

Welcome back to the meme! I hope you stick around. :)

Welcome back to the fic world, ovely a!anon! And thank you very much for this!

"You know," said Ed apologetically, "I mean, it was hard for me, but it was hard for you too, yeah? I imagine," he added hastily.

Ah, this is so sweet an awkward, and it's so nice for a fic where people are happy and moving on, healing over the election angstbomb!

Aw, that was sweet. I do like to imagine they're both discovering all those upsides.

I hope you keep writing, AA :)

N'aww. I like how you smoothly incorporated what was caught on the microphone and captured how they can relate to each other, when no one else can.
