Darker Jeeves?

[detective-wolf.livejournal.com]

What would happen if all of Jeeves' cunning plans would not work with getting rid of a woman who is intending to marry Bertie? 




Even more fun: Bertie is perfectly oblivious of these darker antics...
EDIT; People please, chill. I chose the axe because I want it to look gruesome, a bottle of poison would not have been strong enough. *shrug* I like gory things and personally think that Jeeves might go a bit insane with all his obsession with Bertie. It's not carved in stone, do not take this too seriously.

"I say Jeeves! Absolutely not, nolle prosequi and all that, that's not at all preux Jeeves, I say!!"

I find dark Jeeves incredibly sexy, even though him wielding an axe is slightly scary. I don't think Bertie will ever forgive him though xD... if he would ever find out :P

This is hilarious!

[lokuro.livejournal.com]

Hilarious! >D

Jeeves looks quite mafioso-like. Michael Corleone would have approved this kind of feudal spirit.. Had Jeeves tried it with the "dead horse head in bed" ruse first? :)
(Also, an ax can leave quite a mess - think about the carpet and lock her in the bathroom first?)

In the books he was already a bit dubious, but that picture adds to my mental image yet another small splash of darkness...

Also, poor terrified Bertie, that fiancée looks aggressive even from this (which is to say - save) side of the screen. Well done with just a few lines. As for the style I just love the darkish colours and Jeeves' tense jet elegant pose - that hip swing is a corker! Absolutely sexy.. I mean - scary. Scary is the right word.

Maybe he's not tried the 'dead horse head in bed' ruse, but he might have tried the 'dead annoying little pesky dog head' in bed ruse. Especially if the thing was as annoying as Stiffy's critter.

I love this in all kinds of ways.

[cat-13145.livejournal.com]

There was fic along these lines once I am sure. But this is still good, if slightly scary. Jeeves and Bertie would probably get away with it.

[shiplizard.livejournal.com]

It was called 'let there be no more marriages', I recall-- but not the author's name.

[dessieoctavia.livejournal.com]

The drawing made me think of that fic immediately, you can read it at http://archiveofourown.org/works/95656 (Note: I am not the author!)

Love the drawing!

[damigella-314.livejournal.com]

Agree with lokuro, that has to be the most Mediterranean looking Jeeves I ever saw... and the attitude and clothes also fit! Totally cute scared!Bertie, too, but Jeeves is really the focus of the scene.
And of course he wouldn't hurt a maiden - just let her know in no uncertain terms that her presence will no longer be tolerated. [Too bad I can't explain how funny it is to imagine Jeeves issuing jealous threats with a Calabrese or Sicilian accent...]

[chocolate-frapp.livejournal.com]

as they say in MST, oh, poopie.

[cyeager.livejournal.com]

Be afraid, be very afraid. Between this art and the fic mentioned in earlier comments, I have decided I must write kiler!Jeeves fic. Admit it. You want to read it. Any one brave enough to beta?

[lepidoctor.livejournal.com]

I don't mind! :D

[cyeager.livejournal.com]

Sorry I took so long to reply to your kind offer. I catch most of my mechanical mistakes with spellcheck but I really need a beta for voice/characterisation since I haven't written anything in this fandom yet. So grab my hand and we'll jump off the deep end together!

[lepidoctor.livejournal.com]

I can also provide anatomical/medical sort of knowledge (being in a sort of related field of study - Human biology that is) so feel free to use me as a sounding board for "If I do this will this person die" sort of ideas. and generally I can "feel" if characters sound right or not so, hooray! let us go on an adventure! go ahead and PM me whenever you need a betaing.

[dessieoctavia.livejournal.com]

If you need a second beta, I volunteer, but mainly I'm commenting just to egg you on. Wriiiiite iiiiiiit.....

[meatball42.livejournal.com]

If you do write this (or have since this post) could I have a link, please? *waits anxiously*

[cyeager.livejournal.com]

It's still a work in progress since RL is kicking my butt right now. I hope to get the first part finished and forwarded to my beta in a couple of weeks. I 'll post each chapter to indeedsir and probably AO3 (if you'd rather read the whole thing in one piece)

[lepidoctor.livejournal.com]

Death by axe is far too messy for Jeeves. Something nice and clean like a neck-breaking (swift, type of thing they teach you in some army, Jeeves may be ex-military? load of possibilities there) or poison, something from an unheard of flower or other seemingly innocuous botanical source that isn't common knowledge.

[the-archandroid.livejournal.com]

Exactly, Jeeves strikes me as a poisoner on the same level as Livia Drusilla from I, Claudius . Oh there might be some speculation, but you could never pin a thing on him.

Love this picture though, it is just the right level of light and dark.

[lepidoctor.livejournal.com]

Otherwise he'd have a job with the carpets being all stained afterwards...

[dogwoodblossom.livejournal.com]

First off, this is awesome. Second, there's lots of things he could do with that axe besides straight up axe murder that would all be significantly less subtle than his usual methods.

[drunken-kurage.livejournal.com]

He really does look like someone from a mafia movie. Gotta be those pin stripes.

Though he'd never use an axe. Far too messy, plus you have to take into account swing room, etc. Like some others have said, a simple neck breaking or poison would be more his speed. Perhaps something that mimics a heart attack.

[lawnnun.livejournal.com]

To me, the look on his face really says, "Am I going to have to use this, or can I just threaten her and not have to clean the carpet?"

[krisreinke.livejournal.com]

"I say Jeeves, disposing of ties is one thing but vanishing carpets are just... a bit far."

"I regret, sir, that a domestic accident soiled it beyond hope of repair. WIth your permission, I will order another."

"Maybe that dashing red Chinese pattern rug I spotted last week."

"If you wish sir."

"Really, Jeeves? I thought you found it too bright."

"I have reconsidered the matter, Mr. Wooster. While a bit bold, one may allow that the red will be less inclined to show... inconvenient stains."

"Well, that's all right then. As long as... I say, You don't think Drucilla will be put off, do you?"

"One supposes the lady is unlikely to offer any commentary, sir. It is my understanding that she has left... London."

"Among the departed, you say?"

"Precisely, sir."

[ladymoondancer.livejournal.com]

Ahahahahahaaaaa!

Wait. Wait. Maybe we are looking at this the wrong way. Maybe Jeeves' entire motivation in getting ax-happy is to get rid of a carpet he hates! Getting rid of an unwanted fiancee is just a bonus . . .

[margi-lynn.livejournal.com]

This actually sounds fabulously (murderously? lol) IC to me.

[gini-baggins.livejournal.com]

Haha I needs fic :D

[meatball42.livejournal.com]

Totally love this :) canon!cunning!Jeeves plus creepy!killy!Jeeves for the win

[ellex42.livejournal.com]

Love it. I can see Jeeves speaking oh so politely to the young miss while hefting the axe. He'd never say anything explicitly threatening, but the intimation would be there: back off, or the next thing that comes off might be your head.

[laeticiav.livejournal.com]

Wonderful! I think there are hints in canon that Jeeves can be quite dark, and this takes it to a whole new level!

[piccadillyo.livejournal.com]

Oooh wow! This is dark, but definately ficworth :)

[trista-zevkia.livejournal.com]

How did I miss this? This is awesome, makes me want to do and evil laugh =)
Jeeves if very sexy here, and this fic needs to happen.
I think most of the people in the comments enjoyed this, even if they thought Jeeves would be more subtle than an axe, but if she had managed to not drink his poison and escape the bomb, Jeeves would do whatever is needed! Bertie is his, bwahahahaha!
Love it!

[almostnever.livejournal.com]

Sooo funny, and I love the colors and the style!
