The Plot Protection Agency is a noir/hardboiled-style AU of the PPC. It focuses on many of the literary devices found in that genre including gritty hard-drinking agents (or 'officers,' as some of them are called instead), metaphor-heavy internal monologues, and a bleak sense of moral ambiguity. It originally appeared in a story by PoorCynic. There have been no known interactions between the PPA and the PPC as of yet.
