Date: 2011-12-06 02:47 pm (UTC)Although Larry had periodically tweeted throughout the day, there was no clue to his whereabouts. His followers had no idea either judging from the #where’s Larry? tweets.
On top of that Ben’s father had taken a very dim view of the shenanigans at the cottage. Apparently they had arrived in the middle of what seemed to them to be Simon and Jim attacking Martha. Professor Willbond had insisted that they release her immediately only to be pounced on himself.
Mat had had to stuff his hand in his mouth in stop himself laughing at the image of Ben’s father, all ram rod straight posture, cut glass vowels and Barbour jackets trying to fight off an apparently semi naked Martha. Mat gathered that they had managed to pull Martha off and Ben’s farther had sedated her (he always carried his medical kit with him) and put her to bed. He refused point blank to believe anything about the magic hugs
“Don’t be ridiculous Mathew”
And had demanded that Ben call him later. Mat was starting to wish he’d never heard of Jim, magic hugs, Larry, twitter or horrible histories!
They went indoors.
“God I need a drink” sighed Ben “and a hug”
“Hug first” said Mat
“Thank god yours aren’t magic” said Ben resting his cheek against Mat’s hair “well they are, just not in a crazy personality transforming way”
“Mmmmm” said Mat squeezing Ben harder “we should probably check twitter to see if we can find out what Larry’s up to”
Ben groaned “in a minute, can’t we have a few minutes peace?”
“Yeh ok, but we mustn’t forget, plus we’ll need to check it during the night, you know what an insomniac he is”
“Yeh I know, we will”
They sighed and relaxed into each other feeling the tension slowly start to recede. God thought Mat; he really couldn’t imagine never being able to cuddle Ben again.
“So, you want some food then?” said Ben “bearing in mind that if you don’t say yes now, I might just throw you over my shoulder and take you upstairs and forget about the food”
Mat leaned back “we don’t have to do one or the other” he grinned “we could take some food to bed and you could, you know, feed me”
Ben’s smile widened “you have the best ideas. Come on let’s see what we’ve got”
They rummaged through the cupboards and fridge and then disappeared off upstairs, forgetting all about their phones laying on the kitchen side, with Larry’s twitter feed beginning to swing into action.

Date: 2011-12-06 02:51 pm (UTC)She was so beautiful, he thought, her face calm and peaceful, golden hair spread around the pillow. She’d never know, thought Jim, how much he had wanted not to have to fight her off. He put his head in his hands. This was all his fault. He couldn’t be trusted around people, not like this.
“Penny for them?”
Jim looked up. In the doorway was Anna, Ben’s mother. She came over to him and put a hand on his shoulder. Jim flinched away
“don’t worry” she chuckled, her Russian accent still audible even after all these years in the UK “I am not going to hug you, after all I would not want to become, how would you put it? A crazy person?”
Jim stared at her brow furrowed. She smiled at him, blue eyes twinkling
“You think I am laughing at you yes?” She shook her head, “I am not, I know these hugs they are real”
“H how do you know they are real?” he stammered
“I have seen them before” she said “in my village when I was young girl. We had an old woman who could do the same”
Oh! “Did they ever go wrong” asked Jim
“Once they did yes” she laughed “she hugged an old Babushka who was ill. Ha!she got better chased the young men all over the village” she laughed again “it was so funny, they were so scared”
“so what did you do, you know to make them better?”
“Ah” she said “I will tell you”

Date: 2011-12-07 08:50 am (UTC)have to say at the moment I've still no idea what the cure is going to be...my brain is working on it, possibly whilst it should be doing other things
Re: Fill Jimothy's Magic Hugs AU 11c/14
Date: 2011-12-07 12:04 am (UTC)Okay, Your Largeness. ;)
Am I right in thinking that the negative hug effect gets worse the longer it lasts? It seems Larry started off thinking he was some kind of Messiah and Evil Genius combo and developed into thinking he was a God. Whilst Ben started off snappy and impatient and ended up as an attempted rapist.
Also, I've decided it would be fun to deal with an annoying person by telling them they're going on your list of people to have executed if you ever overthrow the world.

Date: 2011-12-07 12:35 am (UTC)I'm glad that Jim does have Anna to talk to about the magic hugs. It seems that finally things would begin to look up for him.
Anyway, there is still so much love for this fic it's unbelievable. I look forward to finding another installment.

Date: 2011-12-07 04:50 pm (UTC)“Martha is clearly a disturbed young woman and”
“She isn’t” began Jim
“Who needs help” continued Alexander as if he hadn’t spoken “and I intend to help her. What I will not do is indulge this hug business for one more minute”
Anna smiled sweetly at Jim and Simon. “Would you mind leaving us alone?” she said “I’d like to speak with my husband in private”
Jim and Simon nodded and left the room. Jim looked downcast,
“cheer up” said Simon nudging him playfully, “my money is on Anna”
When they were alone, Anna turned to her husband
“so” she said “you are not prepared to listen and you are not prepared to help?”
“no” said Alexander looking down at his wife feeling somewhat less confident than he sounded. She may be a foot smaller than him but she was not in any way to be trifled with. He winced as he remembered a works do early in his career when he was still a junior doctor and one of the consultants had made the mistake of rubbing against her rather to closely when they danced. It was amazing what damage a well aimed heel could do to a man’s groin. Thank god they’d had plenty of ice!
She looked at him and sniffed disdainfully “always you have lacked imagination”
“I merely believe in what I see and what I can prove”
“Слабоумный! (idiot)” you can see if you would only look! Do you think that poor girl would behave like that normally? When her friends tell us she wouldn’t? And when Mathew tells you the same happened to Ben?”
“Benjamin has always had too much imagination! He gets that from you”
“He does” anna was shouting now “and you should be grateful he does and is not stuck up and высокомерный (arrogant) like you” she continued glaring up at him, her blue eyes flashing, her cheeks flushed and looking altogether far too beautiful
“Anna there’s no need to shout”
“oh Alexander” Anna ran her finger down his shirt, “what harm could it do just to help? If I am wrong, then I am wrong but no-one gets hurt”
She put her head on one side and looked up at him
“please” she whispered looking up, blue eyes glimmering through thick lashes
“Anna..” he could feel himself weakening “I shouldn’t”
She put her arms round him “please” she said again
“I....”
She stroked his face
“I...OK”
“Thank you” she said “have I told you are a wonderful man and I love you?”
He smiled down at her “i don’t know what you see in a высокомерный Слабоумный like me”
“ah” she stood on tiptoe and kissed him “because you are also моя единственная настоящая любовь (my one true love)

Date: 2011-12-07 04:53 pm (UTC)“Yes” said Jim nervously. He wasn’t overly keen but it certainly sounded better than what had happened in Anna’s village where they’d knocked the woman out with a log
“But she could have been killed” he’d said wide eyed when Anna told him
“Well yes but what else where we to do? And anyway she was not killed and it cured the hug problem”.
It would seem that inducing unconsciousness in some way reset the bit of Jim’s brain that dealt with the hugs. The theory was that Alexander would knock him out and then bring him round again, hopefully with his brain back to the way it was before and therefore the hugs back to the way that they were before. That was the theory anyway....
“Ok Jim, are you ready?”
"are you sure man?" said Simon worridly "this does seem a bit drastic"
"simon, what else can I do?"
Simon nodded and punched his arm lightly "see you on the other side man"
"ready Jim" asked Alexander again
“yes” no, but what else could he do?
Anna took his hand as Alexander injected him “do not worry малютка (little one) I will look after you”
“Count back from 10 Jim” said Alexander
“10, 9, 8, 7...” Jim closed his eyes and slipped into unconsciousness

Date: 2011-12-11 09:05 pm (UTC)Mat attempted to turn over and dislodge Ben but Ben was heavy and fast asleep. Mat wriggled until he was on his back and Ben flopped on to his side, muttering “strong cover drive” before resuming his snoring.
Mat stretched his legs wondering why the bed felt so odd, what was he laying on he thought digging around under his back with his fingers. He grasped it and pulled it out, a banana skin. Why was there a banana? Oh! He blushed as he remembered Ben feeding him the banana and his own frankly filthy response. Still not as filthy as what he’d done with the whipped cream....anyway!
He wondered what the time was and automatically stretched out his hand for his phone, arse it wasn’t there, where was it?? Bugger he must have left it downstairs. Pushing back the duvet, he grabbed his boxer shorts and put them on before padding lightly downstairs. Y
awning, he scanned the kitchen, ah there it was. He picked it up, rubbing his eyes as they adjusted to the screen and, oh shit!! Larry had been tweeting through the night (Mat cursed his insomnia) and Mat’s eyes widened as he read the tweets and the responses.
He sprinted up the stairs and jumped on the bed waking Ben up with a start
“Mat?? Wha??”
“Ben, Ben, I know where Larry is, at least I know where he’s going to be”
Ben blinked suddenly very awake,” where?”
“Hyde Park”
“Hyde PARK???”
“Yep Speakers Corner. His tweeted all his followers to meet him there at 10am”
“Right,” Ben jumped out of bed, what time is it now?
“8.30”
“Bollocks we’d better hurry”
“Ben?”
“What?”
“Do you think we should you know try to get phone him or tweet him or something? I mean now he’s got a phone. Maybe if we spoke to him? At least we could find out if he still thinks he’s God or whatever it is”
Ben looked thoughtful, “couldn’t hurt I suppose” he said.” It’s not like it’ll make things any worse”
“We should find out how Jim is as well” said Mat “let’s hope nothing has gone wrong up there”
“Oh god yes of course. Ok you tweet Laz and I’ll ring the cottage”

Date: 2011-12-11 09:11 pm (UTC)Even better was the number of women who were willing to be part of his harem and bear Baby Larry’s. Obviously he WAS the divine Lazbotron and the opportunity to mate with a God was literally a once in a lifetime opportunity but even so the number had been more than he’d expected.
However, he wasn’t sure they would need some of the things they’d suggested they brought with them – what on earth use was baby oil without a baby? And handcuffs would be no use nor ornament – he’d need his hands to smite people once his powers were back. The grapes, bananas and whipped could come in handy though – he was partial to a fruit salad.
His twitter feed seemed to be going at a mile a minute with people saying they would be there. So many followers, his devoted army of fans.....oh, what was this?? His eyes narrowed
Mat Baynton @Lazbotron – Larry mate how you doing?
So! There heretics had decided to show themselves
@realmatbaynton – the divine Lazbotron demands you apologise for your actions towards our person
@lazbotron, so you’re still the same then?
@realmatbaynton – I am still the divine lazbotron and you are still a heretic
@lazbotron - we're worried about you
@realmatbaynton - you locked us in a room and deprived us of our followers. If you cross our path again, you will suffer
Mat sighed, it didn’t look like he was any better.

Date: 2011-12-11 09:19 pm (UTC)“Ben!” Ben looked at the phone, that didn’t sound like his father at all “Ben, how are you??”
“I’m fine daddy”
“excellent! And how is Mathew?”
“he’s fine too”
“Wonderful! And how is the acting?”
Ben looked at the phone suspiciously. His father never asked him about acting. He knew his father disapproved of his acting career “waste of an oxford education Benjamin” and the fact he did comedy acting made him apoplectic “couldn’t you at least have been a classical actor – Shakespeare, Ibsen that sort of thing? Instead of falling over and pulling silly faces?”
“um yes that’s going well”
“I’m so pleased” and he did sound pleased too, not like he was pretending, this was all very strange thought Ben
“Ben?” his father sounded more unsure now
“Yes?”
“you know Ben I am very proud of you. Making people laugh is a good thing. World would be a better place if people laughed rather than you know started wars or fights”
Right this was beyond strange thought Ben
“um thank you daddy”
“i er, I er love you Ben”
Now he was hearing things thought Ben. His father never said things like that. He was the original buttoned up unemotional upper class Englishman
“Ben?? did you hear what I said?”
“I love you too Dad”
He could hear his father smiling down the phone “now would you like to speak to Jim?”
“yes please”
“i’ll go and get him”
Ben heard his father’s footsteps and then voices and then
“Ben??”
“jim! How are you?”
Jim laughed, a proper normal Jimothy laugh, “i’m fine”
Ben leant against the doorframe “fine as in...better??”
Jim laughed again “fine as in the hugs are back to normal. Your mum is a very unique woman and your dad was brilliant. seriously, you're so lucky"
"what happened?"
"well I'll tell you more later but long story short I turned Martha into a nympho.."
"you did WHAT??" Ben choked at the thought "yeh Simon and I had to hide in the bathroom"
"and then your parents turned up while we were trying to subdue her and thought we were attacking her until she tried to jump your dad. THEN your mother told me about a woman in her village and well let's just say I'm not the only one. She convinced your dad to help, he knocked me out and then when I came round I was better"
"oh but how do you know, have you tested them?"
"yes, your dad insisted"
Ah, a lightbulb went off in Ben’s brain
“did you test them on my father by any chance?”
“yes I did, he volunteered - I don't think he really believes in them anyway”
Mat appeared signalling to Ben
“Hang on Jim” he said “Mat’s here with some news on Larry”
“Larry’s not any better” said Mat “he still thinks he’s divine and we’re still heretics"
“buggering fuck!, Jim you need to get back here before Larry does anything really mad”
“I’m leaving now” said Jim and put the phone down

Date: 2011-12-15 02:08 pm (UTC)Hyde Park, Larry entered the gates by Marble Arch, his followers were only minutes away and...he turned the corner and his smile spread from ear to ear. There clustered around Speakers Corner were hundreds of people, mostly young women but some older ones too and some men as well.
Some were standing in groups talking while others stood alone, a look of expectation on their faces while still others were fiddling with their phones.
Many of them were wearing lumberjack style shirts whilst others were wearing “what would larry do?” t shirts and wrist bands.
As he approached, someone at the back of the group screamed “oh my god it’s HIM” and the crowd of people surged around him
“larry, larry”
“we weren’t sure it was real”
“so is this all a big prank then?”
“is Bobsy with you” (who the hell was Bobsy wondered Larry)
“about this harem”
“please please my loyal followers, stand back and allow the divine Lazbotron room”
They fell back enough to allow him through but people were still trying to touch him, take photos and ask him questions
“when do we take over the world?”
“where’s Jim?”
“what about the hugs?”
Eventually he reached the platform and climbed on to it as his followers began to applaud
“Larry, larry, larry” they chanted
He stood there letting the applause wash over him and then eventually began to shush them
“loyal acolytes” he began “The divine Lazbotron has come among you at last”
There were cheers and whoops and hollars
“the world is a mean and cruel place, full of liars and heretics. The BBC even faked Frozen Planet!” there were gasps from the crowd “nothing is sacred. We shall change this together! All Shall be Larry”
More cheers and clapping
“we shall populate the earth with our divine offspring through our imperial harem”
There were a large number of screams from the crowd and several women fainted
“we shall convert those who deny us through the use of the High Priest Jimothy’s magic hugs”
The crowd chanted “jimmy Jimmy”
Those that refuse to be converted and choose to remain heretics shall be executed”
“yaaa....oooooooh ummmmm” the crowd’s cheers tailed off and there were several mutters of “sounds a bit drastic”
Larry sighed, he needed to toughen these people up but he had time on his side, his was the Divine Lazbotron after all
“alright, all heretics shall be sent to live in Luton where the train service is terrible”
“hurrahhhhhh”
except for Ben and Mat, he thought, they will be executed as they stole our phone from us with deliberate and intentional naughtiness.
“so my people are you with me?”
“yes”
"ARE YOU WITH ME??"
"YES!!!"
“what will everything be?”
"LARRY LARRY LARRY"
He stood there arms raised milking the applause waiting for it to die down
“and now we will choose our Imperial Harem”
Hiding in the bushes Ben and Mat groaned, this was so much worse than they thought.
“I hope Jim get’s here soon” whispered Mat
"Me too, apart from anything if Larry starts trying to mate with the fans we’ll be off air quicker than you can say ‘shoot public sector strikers’” said Ben
