Fic help, please!

[juliacarmen.livejournal.com]

There are a few things I need to finish the last part of my fic. Since I'm not nearly as well-read or adept at Google-fu as you lovely ppl, I thought I'd ask what you would use in these sitchs:

1. Jeeves quotes something loving/adoring to Bertie as they, um, bask in the afterglow (more like: lay in exhausted stupor). Any suggestions?

2. Bertie says: ‘You were on top of me in [an instant], still fully clothed.’ 'Two shakes of a ducks tail' is a bit long. What Bertieism / flapper slang would you use here for 'an instant'? Answered! Thanks, thebirdmachine and bertiebwriting !

3. What pet name (aside from dream-rabbit) do you think Bertie would use for Jeeves?

Here's a bit from Percy Bysshe Shelley. I'm quoting the whole thing so you know the context.

The day passed thus: at night, methought in dream
A shape of speechless beauty did appear:
It stood like light on a careering stream
Of golden clouds which shook the atmosphere;--
A winged youth, his radiant brow did wear
The Morning Star: a wild dissolving bliss
Over my frame he breathed, approaching near,
And bent his eyes of kindling tenderness
Near mine, and on my lips impressed a lingering kiss,--

(XLII, The Revolt of Islam)

It just super reminds me of something Jeeves would associate with Bertie. Donno how quotable it is, though.
