Fic:: Both Hands [Parks and Recreation] [1/2]

So I tried to write a Parks & Rec story that was serious! political! drama! And then couldn't. I think it's because Parks & Rec has ambition, and competing ideologies, pragmatism, idealism, feminism and congressional re-election campaigns! It's already serious political drama - with pratfalls, cock jokes and true love. I adore it.

Anyway, I sat down to write it regardless, and a few hundred words later the aliens invaded, and there were another many many many words after that. Kind of not sorry. Proper notes and acknowledgements at the end, but forthwritten and tau_sigma helped me an enormous amount with this. It's in two parts because of LJ's posting limits - the link to part two is at the bottom. Also, a brief content note: there is some depiction of violence in this story, but I don't think it's terribly graphic; if you want more detail, please feel free to get in touch.
