Fic Master List:

- Cycles by @acyborglostintimeandspace for @silentorator [T]

Howard comes home. Takes place one year after The Chokes.

- Their First Adventure by @badbadbucky for @anciientboosh [G]

This is the adventure that started it all. Vince and Howard's very first adventure together. There is an evil Candy Queen in town stealing kids and it is up to Howard and Vince to stop her, and perhaps become friends along the way.

An AU where Vince and Howard work at the same shopping mall and romance inevitably ensues.

- For Better or For Worse by @anciientboosh for @r3lilith [T]

When Mr Gideon finds out what kind of man Howard is, he encourages his wife to quit and threatens the Zoo with a lawsuit. Furious, Fossil gives Howard seven days to fix his mistake and get Gideon back. Moon is resigned to his fate but Vince? Vince might just have an idea.

- Hand Made Gifts Only by @badbadbucky for @cronchy-saboo [G]

Vince and Howard have been together for a few years. Vince wants to propose on Christmas, but he and Howard have a rule that they're not allowed to give each other store-bought gifts. And Vince isn't sure how he's supposed to propose when he has no idea how to make a ring.

- Party Part 2: The Return of Old Gregg by @the-mirrorball-suit for @nathanbellamy [T]

Party alternative ending based on the deleted scenes. What would have happened if Old Gregg saw the kiss on the roof?

- Baby, You're my Favourite Gift by @anciientboosh for @badbadbucky [T]

Howard has successfully maintained the ruse that Santa Claus is real since Vince was 8 years old, and he would have kept it up for another good few years. Had Naboo not happened.

In order to pay off their debts, Vince and Howard make a special delivery to an alien planet. Then things get weird.

- Into the Breeze by @nathanbellamy for @acyborglostintimeandspace [M]

After a misunderstanding that blows up into a fight, Vince and Howard are separated and thrown into alternate universes. Forced to deal with other versions of each other and trying to make it back home, the two will have to come to terms with how they truly feel about each other...before it's too late.

BBTB2020 Fanworks Masterpost

We know this post is late, but if you’ve been paying attention to the news this week, shit’s 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. 

Thanks for your patience, and big thanks to everyone for participating in this year’s Bringing Back the Boosh event. All of our creators deserve mad kudos and comments for creating so many wonderful works under such extraordinary circumstances. 

Here’s a masterlist of all the works submitted to our AO3 collection! Don’t forget to let our artists and writers know how much you appreciate their work.

“Naboo and the Marriage of Incovenience”, 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 they’ve 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?

“Cut Your Bangs”, 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.

“The Wrong Kind of Monsters”, by @concupiscence66 for @littleredchucks​ , 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.

“we’ve got to live, no matter how many skies have fallen”, 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.

“The Simple Life”, by @bob-skeleton for @peacockbluey, Mature

A look at a more mature Howince, with a lot of backstory of how they got there.

“Borrowed Light”, 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!

“Walking a mile in unfashionable shoes”, by @littleredchucks​ 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.

“The Kiss of a Mermaid”, by @datcilly for @r3lilith, Teen 

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.

“The Mortifying Ordeal of Being Known”, 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.

“you can’t always get what you want (but if you try sometimes)”, 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.

“If You Think This is Real Life”, 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?

“Touched”, by @agarlandoffreshlycuttears  for @datcilly​, 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).

“Worst Dressed List”, 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.

“Call the Fashion Police”, 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.

“I’m Having a Party”, by @r3lilith for @fucking-pimberly-i-guess​, 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.

“Episode 9″, by @kateyboosh for @concupiscence66​, 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.

“Miseducation”, by @chagrinfalls for @culumacilinte​, The Mighty Boosh, Gen

Howard goes on a school field trip. It doesn’t go as planned.

[chagrinfalls]

Fandom: The Mighty Boosh (TV)

Pairing: Howard Moon/Vince Noir

Summary: 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?

Rating: M

Word Count: 53,283

Notes: Written as part of the #BringingBackTheBoosh fic exchange for @chagrinfalls - I hope you like it!

I apparently can't write anything short or without angst so find my BBTB 2020 fic, a tale of adventure, mutual pining, feelings, post Denmark-fixit, and Howard being down with the flu!

I was very sad to hear of the passing of horror legend and all around wonderful person, Sid Haig. As much fun as he was to watch in the movies, I found him to be much more entertaining when he was just being himself and talking on podcasts and interviews. He was an amazing storyteller who seemed to enjoy talking about his adventures as much as his audiences loved listening. He came to my local horror convention practically every year it has been around, and I regret never venturing out to meet him. Goodbye, Mr. Haig and may you and your family and friends find peace. https://www.instagram.com/p/B2xVihYlx9X/?igshid=14uwbafc4n1hp
