Wotcher! Err, no, wrong fandom... What ho! That's the one.

I have been lurking here since last summer and now I thought to drop in and introduce myself. So hi and greetings from Finland.
Under the fake-cut is a piece of Jooster-fiction I made. I never thought that I would actually manage to write fan fiction in English because I'm not good in that and it's been years since I studied English, but here I am.

Title: The Morning
Author: Pipariperho
Pairing: Jeeves/Wooster
Rating: PG-13, perhaps.
Genre: I have no idea. Something cute in the end as today is V-day.
Warnings: Un-betaed and not in that lovely style Wodehouse used. My first fic in English and my first Jooster-fic too, so please be kind.
Words: ~400

He awakes in the morning at the time he had always woke up every morning before this. The dream he had last night still haunts him. It was too good, too realistic and he still remembers every detail of it which is strange because usually dreams fade away the more he tries to keep them in his mind. But this one is different. He can recall the feel of skin beneath his fingers even now; can almost hear the voice uttering breathlessly the words he had longed to hear for too many years to count; smell the intoxicating scent of after-shave and tea he had taken granted so long until last night…
But something has changed. This morning there is no valet who brings his tea two minutes after he had stirred. No one who could tell how brightly the sun will shine in the south-eastern sky or whom Aunt Agatha this morning wanted him to marry in her call which is too early for civilized people. No Jeeves beside his bed with almost visible smile and the usual ‘good morning, sir’.

*

He wakes up at the same time he had for so many years it is now a habit of his. At ten past five like nothing had changed and yet everything had. He wakes to find the things he could recall were not the dream he had had since he took his position as Mr Wooster’s valet. Instead he finds the reality too beautiful and frightening to be true. He fears it will fall apart if he dares to move so he remains still, barely able to breathe. For hours he stays there, listening the soft sounds his young master makes in his sleep, watching him dream, wishing to be a part of that unknown land.

It is ten o’clock when Mr Wooster’s eyelids flutter and he hopes should his world crash down it would be fast. He can feel the exposed body using his chest as a pillow to stiffen when Mr Wooster realizes the position they had taken in night and he fears the worst to happen. Then he sees the sleepy smile brightening the face of his lover and he remembers how to breathe again, only to forget it when he gets lost in the deep blue of Bertie’s eyes. Softly he whispers ‘good morning, Bertram’ and starts to apologize the lack of tea when he is interrupted by the soft lips he can recall from the night. He welcomes the change wholeheartedly. It is too early to get up anyway.

Comments are welcomed. Please feel free to correct me as English is not my native language.

This could do with a light polish by a beta, but I love the general mood of the thing! :)

That was just perfect!

I added some tags, you hadn't, so I thought I would. Feel free to change. ^^
Also--not your native language? Wouldn't say so. <3!

Thanks, I forgot those. And thank for your comments. <3

Betaing is a good idea if you're not too sure about your English, but other than that, this was brilliant. I absolutely loved it <3

Hope you'll write more soon,
The Lady 529

Hey, I would have never guessed you didn't speak the language natively. It's very well done, and very cute, and it doesn't matter at all that it's unwodehousian, because it's still good.

Would NOT have guessed that English isn't your native language. I used to be able to speak Finnish a bit, but had I written a story it wouldn't have been even CLOSE to the quality in this. Were I wearing a hat, I would doff it.

Amazing, this has a very poetic feel to it. You have an excellent grasp on the English language and I hope you continue to write.

I'm glad you have taken the time to introduce yourself formally, it is always a pleasure to meet a fellow Wodehouse fan.
