Hello, all! I've just been rewatching the series over the past few days, and it's got me seeking further gratification now I'm nearly done. I'm afraid I'm not much for writing fic these days, but I'd quite like to read anything you lovely chaps can recommend. I'm looking for something lighthearted, keeping in tone with the series, with ample amounts of fluff and joy; nothing dark or depressing or angst-ridden, thank you, though hardly Madeline Basset levels of cavity-inducing sweetness. I also like medium-length one-shots, as I've not quite the attention span for anything that consists of many chapters. The preferred pairing, of course, is Jeeves/Wooster, though if you've anything of Mrs. Rockmateller*/Duke of Chiswick lying around, that will also be appreciated.

(I do hope this isn't in bad form, but you see I'm rather new around here and looking about, it seems this isn't an entirely unheard of practice. And if I've tagged wrong or otherwised bunked something up, please tell me so I can correct it immediately.)

*I think that's her name, anyway.

edit: I also like a bit of silliness, if you've any of that hanging about wanting to be read.

"A newt can marry a fish, sir, but where would they live?"

"A tin, I suppose."

"...If you say so, sir."

"Jeeves, shut up and kiss me."

"When you put it that way, sir..." smooch, hot, hot sex, and tea.

Wait, is this fish!Jeeves/newt!Bertie AU, or a really weird metaphor?

Because either way, I'm game.

I don't know, now that you ask, lol! I just thought of that a fish can marry a bird but where would they live thing and wanted to toss it out here. As I just told somebody else, I suck at metaphors.

Let's say Jeeves is trying to use words to convince Bertie that setting up Gussy and Kipper (human) wouldn't be a good idea. Some hot, hot sex and Jeeves will see Bertie (and our) side of things!

Not that it's relevant to anything else ever, but what color fish would Jeeves be, were he to be a fish?

That is to say, I'm not doing crappy MSPaint art or anything, this is just a matter of curiosity.

Oddly enough, I'm thinking Jeeves!fish would be a flounder. They are thin, lay on the floor of the ocean until an eye moves around the body (so Jeeves' is pre-eye migration stage). They see everything and blend into the background, jumping out at the last minute to save the day (eat, whatever)

Black fish, with dignified white spots.

Bertie? Anything tropical and brightly colored;)

Bertie is a newt, which is bright orange and blue, and clashes beautifully with his red tin.

How does one go about dignifying white spots, especially when one is using MSPaint as one's medium of choice?

Round eraser tool, on a black fish. Erase to white background, ta da, spots:)

Re: Bearing in mind the only thing I know about them is that Herrings are red and kippers are tasty.

[captlebubbles.livejournal.com]

Oh, I know how to make the spots, just the trick is making them dignified.

Re: Bearing in mind the only thing I know about them is that Herrings are red and kippers are tasty.

[trista-zevkia.livejournal.com]

Perfectly round is dignified, or ring them like cheetah spots?
Hey, I got a drawing of Jeeves and Bertie as Groucho and Harpo, if that means anything to you, by annoying someone on comments like this =)

Re: Bearing in mind the only thing I know about them is that Herrings are red and kippers are tasty.

[captlebubbles.livejournal.com]

I have no round eraser tool, and was running out of patience anyway. It's somewhat crappier than my usual concoctions, but, well, there you are (http://i44.tinypic.com/w7f2u.jpg).

As long as Bertie gets his, the tin remains shut. Everyone wins.

Now I'm trying to figure out a reason for Jeeves and Bertie to be blackmailing each other into sex until they realize they are in love. I hope you two are happy;)

Re: Bearing in mind the only thing I know about them is that Herrings are red and kippers are tasty.

[captlebubbles.livejournal.com]

I'm doing crappy MSPaint art of newt!Bertie/fish!Jeeves. I hope YOU two are happy.

And here's this that I re-found while looking for the snakes in a biplane drawing.
Jeeves in the shower,um, forgot what I was typing.

Heh. Unlike the rest of you lot, I'm not madly in love with Mr. Fry's body, nor Mr. Laurie's- but that was rather lovely. *doffs cap*

Re: Bearing in mind the only thing I know about them is that Herrings are red and kippers are tasty.

[trista-zevkia.livejournal.com]

Several of our artistic types have very different images of Jeeves and Wooster than Fry and Laurie. Run take a look, I'll wait here;)
http://indeedsir.livejournal.com/1003415.html#cutid1

I'm enamored of Fry and Laurie just because I've loved everything I've seen them in, and they are both fantastic, outstanding authors, and Laurie's a musical genius as well. I'd be jealous as a green eyed whatsit, but they're both nice people too. WTF is up with that? They are supposed to be all stuck up and hateable!

Re: Bearing in mind the only thing I know about them is that Herrings are red and kippers are tasty.

[captlebubbles.livejournal.com]

Nah, I love Mr.'s Fry and Laurie as the titular duo, I'm just not madly in love with their corpuses.

I think it's kind of interesting, how most of the people on this comm have seen F and L as J and W, everybody loves them at it, and they make great icons, yet we can still have lots of different body images in mind.
I tend to avoid descriptions in my fic, figuring most people already know what J and W look like, at least to them.
Though in my mind, Claude and Eustace look more like the Weasley twins from Harry Potter than the guys in the series, lol! Gingers ahoy!

Re: Bearing in mind the only thing I know about them is that Herrings are red and kippers are tasty.

[captlebubbles.livejournal.com]

Yeah, I was actually thinking yesterday that they were a bit like what F and G would have been, had they been born to high society and, you know, not cruelly ripped from one another at such a young age.

Re: Bearing in mind the only thing I know about them is that Herrings are red and kippers are tasty.

[chuffing.livejournal.com]

Hahahh! I hope to hell that you come up with one, or more than one. I'm quite happy, thanks! :D

Re: Bearing in mind the only thing I know about them is that Herrings are red and kippers are tasty.

[captlebubbles.livejournal.com]

Well sure, you're happy. You just get to sit back and reap the rewards.

That's just how I roll.
