BBTB2020 Fanworks Masterpost
We know this post is late, but if youâve been paying attention to the news this week, shitâs been going down and everything is terrible. Luckily, we have 17 brand-new fics to help distract you from the fact that the world is on fire.Â
Thanks for your patience, and big thanks to everyone for participating in this yearâs Bringing Back the Boosh event. All of our creators deserve mad kudos and comments for creating so many wonderful works under such extraordinary circumstances.Â
Hereâs a masterlist of all the works submitted to our AO3 collection! Donât forget to let our artists and writers know how much you appreciate their work.
âNaboo and the Marriage of Incovenienceâ, by @littlebooshmaid for @iocococo, The Mighty Boosh, Mature
Naboo receives some unwelcome news from Xooberon: everyone on the planet is supposed to be married by the age of one hundred, or face execution. Now theyâve caught up with him, it looks as if only marrying Howard will save Naboo from certain death. But how will Vince feel about that? And will anything where the Shaman Council is involved turn out as expected?
âCut Your Bangsâ, by @the-stoned-ranger for @anciientboosh, Nathan Barley, Explicit
After slipping in his sobriety, Dan Ashcroft, forty-year-old fuckup, attends Alcoholics Anonymous and gets his shit together. It just takes almost losing everything to motivate him to do it. This started off as a simple fic about Dan learning how to have a relationship with Jones, and became a 40k epic of a redemption arc. For reasons known only to the muse, Nathan Barley insisted on tagging along for the ride, as he so often does when Dan Ashcroft is concerned.
âThe Wrong Kind of Monstersâ, by @concupiscence66 for @littleredchucksâ , The Mighty Boosh, Explicit
Howard and Vince were both lonely and lost, but when they met... it was actually pretty awful, but stories can always be re-written. In a world of magic and monsters, there's no reason to settle for just one reality.RedChucks asked for "A second shot at a first kiss" and I went a bit off the rails here. The story is about... reinvention. I adore RedChucks, so I hope they forgive the liberties I took with the prompt.
âwe've got to live, no matter how many skies have fallenâ, by @silentorator for @badbadbucky, The Mighty Boosh, Teen (you must be logged into ao3 to read this fic)
Vince and Howard go to a psychic to get their tarot cards read.
âThe Simple Lifeâ, by @bob-skeleton for @peacockbluey, Mature
A look at a more mature Howince, with a lot of backstory of how they got there.
âBorrowed Lightâ, by @iocococo for @bob-skeleton, The Mighty Boosh, Explicit
A Victorian AU!When Howard Moon moved to London to pursue his dreams... well, he probably shouldn't have. Turns out getting a gig with the London Symphony Orchestra isn't as easy as he'd hoped. He's broke, nearly homeless, and bombarded by the pesky attention of his housemate, Vince Noir, who doesn't annoy him nearly as much as Howard pretends he does. With a unsympathetic landlord, a boss dead-set on making his life miserable, and magical shenanigans afoot, can Howard ever sort out what he really feels for Vince? Will he ever achieve his dream job? Will I actually have written a semi-competent summary of this fic by the time I stop typing this?Find out in Borrowed Light!
âWalking a mile in unfashionable shoesâ, by @littleredchucksâ for @kateyboosh, The Mighty Boosh, Teen
Howard makes a wish and things go slightly wrong, though more so for Vince than for Howard, which is strange for them both. This was meant to get sexier at the end but it didn't end up that way. My apologies.
âThe Kiss of a Mermaidâ, by @datcilly for @r3lilith, TeenÂ
And then Howard was back in that dreadful wet cave. His heart was beating fast but filled with determination because this time - he was on a mission.
âThe Mortifying Ordeal of Being Knownâ, by @peacockbluey for @littlebooshmaid, The Mighty Boosh, Explicit
When a spell gone wrong forces Howard and Vince to get closer to each other in more ways than one, certain things are forced into the open. Written for the Bringing Back the Boosh Fic Exchange 2020. Slight AU, set post-Party.
âyou can't always get what you want (but if you try sometimes)â, by @culumacilinte for @the-stoned-ranger, Sweet, Explicit
Five times Pete caught Stitch having a wank, or: four times Pete caught Stitch having a wank and one time Stitch tried and failed to get caught, or: these two idiots are kinky and make bad decisions but it all works out in the end.
âIf You Think This is Real Lifeâ, by @anciientboosh for @chagrinfalls, The Mighty Boosh, Mature
An adventure is had, strange things start happening about the flat, and Howard is sick. Guess it's up to Vince to save the day. Should be easy right?
âTouchedâ, by @agarlandoffreshlycuttears  for @datcillyâ, The Might Boosh, Teen
A prompt for the Bring Back the Boosh challenge:Likes: Naboo, the Shaman Council, Gen, a good laugh
Pairings: Open to anything but only platonic :)
Prompt 1: A stag tour to Xooberon does absolutely not go as planned. Prompt 2: Howard and Vince mess with the Occult again, bad juju is afoot!So I mixed the two together (sort of): Howard goes missing again and Naboo has finally had enough of his pet humans being a complete bloody nightmare and decides to get to the bottom of why they can't go five minutes without something terrible happening to them (and thus Naboo).
âWorst Dressed Listâ, by @badbadbucky for@agarlandoffreshlycuttears The Mighty Boosh, Teen
Vince finds himself on Cheekbone's Worst Dressed List. And even worse, Howard is on the best dressed list.
âCall the Fashion Policeâ, by @badbadbucky for @silentorator, The Mighty Boosh, Teen
After the owners of a high end fashion shop make fun of Vince's clothing designs and Howard, his slightly absent minded boyfriend, fails to notice for far too long, vince decides to get rid of all his clothes. Now Howard must defend his boyfriend's designs and unravel a fashion conspiracy.
âIâm Having a Partyâ, by @r3lilith for @fucking-pimberly-i-guessâ, The Mighty Boosh, Teen
Vince notices that Howard has not been the same since the disastrous party he threw for his birthday, and decides that another party is just the thing to cheer him up.
âEpisode 9âł, by @kateyboosh for @concupiscence66â, The Mighty Boosh, Mature
What happened between Series 1 and 2? Why did the Zooniverse close? Why are Vince and Howard so sexy and half naked in Series 2?All these questions from the lovely concupiscence66 answered inside, along with healthy doses of mischief, mayhem, fluff, angst, and smut, references to later events in S2 and S3, and blatant disregard for the Zooniverse map.Connie, thank you for the challenge of this prompt. I sincerely hope I did it justice, and that you enjoy reading.
âMiseducationâ, by @chagrinfalls for @culumacilinteâ, The Mighty Boosh, Gen
Howard goes on a school field trip. It doesn't go as planned.
