Characters/Pairings: Brigadier/Benton, Jo Grant, Mike Yates

Recced because:

 

This story was inspired by the madness which is the kinkmeme. I think it’s nicely summed up by its original prompt: ‘When the Brigadier's moustache falls off mid-shag, years of trust and loyalty are undermined. Luckily, all is well thanks to Mike Yates, Jo Grant's mother and a tin of Spam.’

 

How can you go wrong with that???

 

This was only posted a few days ago, and I’m bumping off one of my original recs to fit it in. But rec it I must, because this is one of the funniest things I have ever read. The majority of the humour comes – not from the ridiculous situations – but from the ridiculously in-character reactions: Poor, clueless, and utterly betrayed Benton, Scarred-for-life Yates who has been wrangled into the role of unwilling relationship therapist, and dear sweet Jo who knows more than she’s letting on. And, of course, the stalwart Brig.

Well, bugger me, I follow the instructions to the letter, double-checked it, asked someone else to check it, and still the link goes pear-shapped. At this point I must throw up my hands and say lj hates me. Though, at least this time there is a clickable link!

Are you using a client? I've been having problems with Deepest Sender lately. :(

Did you post in rich text or HTML? HTML coding won't work if you post in Rich Text.

That must be it. Though, truth to tell, all of it confuses me to no end. I'm going to limp through the rest of my week trying to figure things out. From now on I'm going to post the recs first on my own page and fiddle with them until the coding is right before copy/pasting them here. Hopefully that wa I won't continue screwing up like this.

Not to add to your posting troubles, but I wanted to let you know that when you specify a text color, as you've apparently specified black for this post, then for people whose default viewing style uses that color as a background, the text will be completely invisible. If you leave the font color as the default/unspecified, then it will be viewable to everyone regardless of what style they're using.
