The Long Firm

[firestorm717.livejournal.com]

Anyone know of slash, or really, any sort of fandom/fic for the 4-part BBC drama, The Long Firm? It's based on a novel of the same name by Jake Arnott, and revolves around the rise and fall of homosexual Jewish gangster Harry Starks in '60s Soho. Magnificent performance by Mark Strong as the titular character (see icon).

Edit: You can watch the series in its entirety on Youtube.

Unrelated comment, but kudos on your icon! I LOVE Sylvian/Japan.

It's not possible not to love him/them once you know of them I firmly believe, after all they were so, so, so, so pretty and also Sylvian is hysterical with his lil coke habit, his deadpan seriousness and his coldness.

Oh yes and the music, of course, lol I knew I was missing out on something important.

I seriously rely so much on Sylvian's music in particular that it's untrue, beautiful heartfelt stuff.

The Batt brothers were/are seriously beautiful men. :) I wholeheartedly agree. And the deadpan seriousness! The interviews he did when he was in the band just crack me up with the sheer earnestness of just about everything he said.

And of course, there's the heavenly, glorious music. The album he did with Robert Fripp, The First Day, is absolute must-listen music when I'm writing fics. That and Gone To Earth are two albums I seriously could not live without.
