Fanfic: Watchmen In Black

Watchmen in Black was my first Discworld crossover. I wasn't trying for any impressive feats of prose - I just had a plotbunny involving the Men In Black pursuing a shapeshifting alien fugitive in Ankh-Morpork with the aid of the Watch. Naturally, Hilarity Ensues.

This fanwork contains examples of:

Bavarian Fire Drill: Colon and Nobby attempt to stall Vetinari from discovering the fugitive hunt in his own Palace by spinning a tale about fumigating for ninja mimes that no one can see or hear.
Big Eater: The shapeshifter.
Cool Shades: The standard MIB-issue Ray-Bans.
Da Chief: Vimes.
Laser-Guided Amnesia: "Having a Neuralyzer means never having to say you're sorry."
Out with a Bang: The implied usual fate of the shapeshifter's chosen targets.
Spit Take: J finally gives in and tells Vimes what the shapeshifter is and what she wants. Vimes is taking a sip of coffee at the time. J gets wet.
Those Two Guys: Colon and Nobby, in fine form.
Un Funny: Vimes.
Venus Needs Men: The more powerful, the better.
Voluntary Shapeshifting
You Need to Get Laid: J's implied theory about the root of Rincewind's nervous condition.
