Lost fic - please please say you know it!

So after a very long absence from J&W I felt In need of a fix. I've been enjoying the archives again but can't shake the idea I want to read a particular story - I've tried looking (I promise) but have had no luck - please help!

TBF I remember very little so if anyone knows what I'm talking about it'll be a miracle.

So - it was a role reversal for reasons I don't remember. Jeeves was being quite OOC and maybe a bit mean (?) and something about him choosing to wear 'Jewel tones'. And yeah... That's it. I just know I really liked it!!

Hopeless aren't I? Sorry! But maybe if you wrote it you'll know what I'm on about!

UPDATE:

This fic is 'Adventures in Valeting' but it's by woe_in_a_hoodie who is a deleted user. If anyone has a copy of this fic I would be the most grateful person ever!

No jewel tones, though.

Nice fic - but not the one. They had swapped roles for some reason but were still who they were. I wish I could remember more! :). It'll probably come back at 4am one morning!

Role swap, out of character, still themselves, but... no meanness or jewel tones. Darn it. But still a good story. :)

Yes, Sir, Jeeves (http://archiveofourown.org/works/1642511) by skyblue_reverie

I remember more about this fic. Bertie tries to be a valet and gets Jeeves to teach him. Jeeves isn't amused, and makes him run through the whole thing like a drill master. Bertie remarks that he looks bad in all black and asks if he can have a splash of color but Jeeves vetos it and mentions that he looks best in jewel tones but he doesn't wear them when in his valet uniform and life's not fair. There's balancing tea trays too.

Role reversal... Jeeves OOC and mean...
I'm not so sure but maybe that was "Adventures in Valeting" by Darkeyedseer.
Unfortunately, the writer vanished and deleted all fic from archives (here&AO3).
I wish if I had a copy of it. Sorry.

Here is related topic.

Darn it - I hope it's not that (but it seems like it might be) - my Google-Fu is finding nothing. Very sad now - going to think of a plan!

Right - it was 'Adventures in Valeting' but it's by woe_in_a_hoodie - which doesn't help as they are also a deleted user.

This is killing me!!

Oh, sorry again. It seems my poor memory mixed lost writers. X(
Good to know that you confirmed the fic's title. That was a really interesting (and a little kinky!) story...
