Die Hard 4.0 fic!

[hope]

Title: Smokin' cigarettes and watchin' Captain Kangaroo
Author: Hope / angstslashhope
Fandom: Die Hard 4.0 / Live Free or Die Hard
Genre: Slash (Matt Farrell/John McClane), domesticity, complete lack of action (er, the helicopter/car kind).
Rating: R
Notes: For the July 4 Ficathon @ hard4brains, using the "outsider POV" prompt. Giant thanks to fools_game for the beta and kphoebe for the glee and consultation. :

The title is from a song called "Flowers on the Wall", which is used in Pulp Fiction. John McClane also quotes that particular line of the song in Die Hard with a Vengeance, which made me flail with glee. It's that line that I've used for the title, though it doesn't really have anything to do with the story. Aside from the fact that the whole thing is one big excuse for me to make jokes about Bruce Willis being in Pulp Fiction.

Matt's shirt is an artifact of geekery.

Jack's frat, KOK, and his associated money troubles are taken directly from one of the most appalling (and yet entertaining) films ever made, Sorority Boys. Because original plots are for losers who have imaginations.

Also, Justin Long with glasses. How could I not?
