Somebody talk me out of reading Ant'n'Dec slash. I've found some. I'm not reading it. But the temptation is sooooooo big and tempting. Argh.

Am? Where are you when I need you, eh?

Actually, I'm surprised it's taken you that long to find any. Don't they live next door to one another IRL?

Ahem, sorry, Fay. Resist, resist! It can only be terrible.

Ant 'n Dec? I should know this.

The idea did cross my mind some months ago, but I immediately banished it back to the recesses of my psyche. But that was before I got seduced into LotRips, which is warping me. And Ant'n'Dec are the slashiest thing I have ever seen. By which I don't mean the gayest, because I sincerely believe that they're straight and their love is a beautiful and fraternal thing. But - my God, they're slashy. Inseperable, tactile, cute as a button double-act-alicious Sam'n'Frodo level coupledom.

But I'm not going there. I'm not. It would upset me. It's just there's this whole morbid/salacious curiosity thing. Which I'm ignoring.

Ant'n'Dec are an adorable little duo. They're actors from a kids' show called Biker Grove. In the early 90s they left Biker Grove and were briefly a cheesy pop act, before segueing into their true calling, which is presenting. They've done very well indeed with their cute'n'cheeky style, both on kids' shows (SMTV and CDUK) and on several evening shows too. Their style echoes that of Vic Reeves and Bob Mortimer (who themselves owe quite a bit to Morcambe and Wise), only in a more cute'n'mainstream fashion. They go on holiday together, with their respective girlfriends. They work together. They have houses a few doors away from one another. They are pretty much inseperable. It's cute as a cute thing.

I've not read the slash. I really don't want to read the slash.

(Incidentally - despite looking about 15 they're about 27, I think.)

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.

Oh, you say that now.

Once upon a time, you didn't read LotR RPS.
