what-ho!

Hi! I've recently revived my love for the Fry-Laurie version of Jeeves and Wooster. It's hard to believe it was almost 15 years since the series aired! I recall watching the shows (most notably the one when Bertie tries to play the trombone) with my mom and laughing even when I didn't fully understand the humor or the Britishness or the Wodehouseness of it.

Anyway, for my first post I have a favor to ask: Can anyone point me to the J/W fic called "The Matter of the Bed" or somesuch? I swear I've seen a longer version than the one that simply ends with Bertie thinking Jeeves must have really loved that woman - the one he thinks Jeeves is dreaming about when they have to share the bed in the teeny beach cottage.

Did I get those details right? I hope I haven't hallucinated a longer version. Either way, I look forward to getting involved here. :)

Awwww, Steve icon! I heartily approve of positive portrayals of rats on TV.

Yes...I posted the story in two parts in one place and one part in this community--so here's the link if you want the whole story in one go:

Sorry about the confusion!

Yeah, it was a bit confusing. I knew I'd read more than just the one part posted here. Thanks for the linkage, and it's a sweet little story! Bertie's private sympathy and misunderstanding for Jeeves makes me want to cuddle him.

You're welcome! I'm very flattered that you liked the story enough to seek it out again, and that you enjoyed it the second time. :)

Bertie is at his sweetest when he's being oblivious, isn't he?

Hey, you should feel flattered, because it is definitely a sweet little story. I usually avoid heavy angst, and this one was just the right touch of angst and uncertainty and caring. Sweet!Bertie is very huggable.
