extemporally

You know what bandom needs more of? SILLY PLOTTY FIC. Like an Agatha Christie AU (... which, imagining Brendon as Miss Marple makes me burble with laughter a little) where they solve CRIME and there are SUSPICIOUS GIRLS who are really secret agents (Special Agent Asher -- c'mon, you'd read it) and villains who are so much more menacing for the mundane personas they assume. And I realise that this isn't really silly plotty fic any more, but sort of slick noir, but I am pretty sure that a balance could be found. Somehow.

Or! or! What if it they were detectives who solved small crimes (think, um, think Mma Ramotswe from the #1 Ladies' Detective Agency) and suddenly one day someone just turned up at their tiny office and asked them to investigate a case that soon spun out into a HUGE FUCKING THING that involved maybe the government and lots of jewels? And Brendon & Spencer would be so in over their heads (the Principles of Detection never prepared them for this! It's exactly like living in a cliche!) and also terrified and there would be a lot of traveling around and staying in hotel rooms and midnight terrified cuddling. \o/

... come to think of it, their dynamic reads more as a Tommy & Tuppence Beresford one, only a lot more failsome. However, the general principle of the thing remains: GAY MARRIED DETECTIVES FOREVER. Although I would also read Spencer Smith: Really Sherlock Holmes.
