indeedsir_backupWhat ho, chums!
I've recently written a Jeeves/Downton Abbey crossover, and I'd like to have it beta'd by someone with Jeeves and Wooster experience, since it's my first effort in that fandom. (My third in Downton.)
I decided to write the thing because my favorite Downton character is Thomas, the evil footman who dreams of being a valet, and when one thinks of valets, one thinks of Jeeves. Actually, what I really wanted was to read about Jeeves's reaction to Thomas, but since a request on the DAkinkmeme got no takers, I finally decided to sit down and write it myownself.
Let's see, the fic is about 11K. It starts out Bertie/Thomas, and ends up Bertie/Jeeves--no explicit sex for either pairing, since Bertie is too preux to narrate it. (That is the in-story explanation, I mean. Many excellent writers have managed to believably write sex scenes in Bertie's voice, but I didn't dare.) The basic setup is that Bertie visits Downton, he and Thomas begin a fling, and are caught in the act. This gets Thomas fired. Bertie decides the only preux thing to do is find him another job. Or rather, have Jeeves find him another job. Jeeves is reluctant to do so because Thomas Does Not Meet the Required Standard. Events ensue, and it ends up, as I said, Bertie/Jeeves, with Thomas happily settled elsewhere and somewhat the better for his experience.
Working titles are "Jeeves and the Inferior Valet" and "Thomas and the Kindest Man in England."
I look forward to hearing from any interested parties. I'll post the completed fic here and at the Downton community.
