Length: ~800
Notes: Written as comment!fic for 1297 ages ago, but her journal seems to have been deleted *sad sad face* so I am reposting here. Original prompt: it's written all over your face. Also, I know nothing of Gossip Girl or Serena but what Google/Wikipedia could tell me in a few minutes when the prompt grabbed me because I cannot resist Karl. WHAT.

This is how it happened.

First



Like, it's the world's ugliest sweater. Am I right?

Second

A conversation with ohownovel  (yes, I will continue to blame credit my enabler. shut up) that went something like this: (lots of lol's and rofl-ing left out for readability.)

McCoy's sweater on the shuttle is truly hideous.

But he's so lovely it doesn't matter.

It just makes you wonder - why is McCoy wearing that hideous sweater?

Because Jocelyn burned all his clothes.

Like, who decided that McCoy should be wearing THAT.

I dunno. He looks like he's been on a bus for ten days. Hobo!

I wouldn't be surprised if Karl had been all "Yeah, that sweater right there, McCoy is wearing that ugly piece."

HAHAHAHAHAHA. YES!!!!!! I want another wardrobe mistress fic now. Where she's like NO FUCKING WAY. And he's like YES. And she's all NO.

You're cracking me up!

TRUFAX. YOU KNOW IT HAPPENED.

OMG. Karl totally brought the sweater himself.

He saw Deforest wearing it once and had to find one JUST LIKE IT.

Third

I write another wardrobe mistress fic! I swear, I'm going to end up doing this for like every movie Karl has ever made. THIS IS NOT GOOD.
