Title: Jeeves And The Lovestruck Spirit
Author: Ataratah
Fandom: Wodehouse
Pairing: Jeeves/Wooster
Summary: Usually the women who land Bertie in the soup are at least alive. This time, not so much.
It was here that I became aware of the stickiness of my position. If I admitted to seeing a ghost this morning, he'd wonder, naturally, why I hadn't told him before, after it had caused me to behave so strangely. Then there was that other bit, where brainier coves than I had clearly decided that there was no such thing as ghosts, meaning that Jeeves would no doubt misconstrue my confession as the ravings of a mad man. However, and here was where it got sticky, if I did not tell, and he found out later - and Jeeves generally does find out about these things - he would not like that I had not told him when he'd asked.
A ghost story in the Wodehousian style, with a Jeeves I found quite amusing. While still maintaining the cool that he's famous for he still somehow manages to be at turns sarcastic, smug and not a little funny.

Title: Jeeves And The Lessons On Love
Author:

Fandom: Wodehouse
Pairing: Jeeves/Wooster
Summary: Jeeves takes Bertie under his wing to teach him the secrets of love-making, but then things quickly go from "Oh my" to "I say!"
I found myself nibbling at my thumbnail, a nervous habit that I'd thought defeated in grammar school. I gave the attached thumb a disapproving look and then raised my eyes to Jeeves once more. "I've been considering a brothel, Jeeves."
There is a certain look that Jeeves adopts when seriously stricken. I have seen it when Jeeves is presented with fruity hats, ties, or spats that he deems unsuitable. And I saw it now as Jeeves stared back with said soupy expression.
"I could not advise it, sir," he said.
What is Jeeves to do but stalwartly offer himself up to the problem at hand? Many a time I've been chatting with an employer about their life issues only to end up bringing them off on the chesterfield. Maybe that's why I've gone through so many jobs?
Quite filthy and a little romantic as well:)

Title: Taking Liberties

Fandom: Wodehouse
Pairing: Jeeves/Wooster
Summary: While I do enjoy tickling the ivories for hours at a time, and have occasionally fancied that a bit of tricky finger-work was carried out so adeptly as to bring the house down, this was in the way of being a metaphor.
I awoke once in the night, and thought for a moment that I was back at Eton, when I was accustomed to waking with some regularity to find another fellow pressed up against me in my dormitory bed. It wasn't an uncommon practise, although in retrospect it did seem that there was no shortage of boys who decided that the only cure for loneliness and homesickness was to cuddle up to one Bertram Wooster.
But a few moments of observation cleared that memory away -- Jeeves was taller and broader than any of those boys had been, and though he was not wrapped limpet-like around the Wooster corpus, he had a sort of presence and warmth that made it seem as though he were.
Bertie kind of toddles along as usual but then keeps having these startling insights into what he's doing to Jeeves. How the things he's doing or say might be cutting Jeeves to the quick. This was delightful and, like most Jeeves/Wooster stories, ultimately very happy:)

Summary: Jeeves doesn't want tips from Bertie anymore. What could he want instead?
"What's got into you, Bertie?" Bingo said. "I've been sitting here for five minutes trying to get your attention."
"I am thinking deep thoughts, Bingo," I said severely. "A man is permitted to review his life on occasion, is he not, without inciting comment from all and sundry?"
"Just as you like, Bertie, but I wouldn't do it in public if I were you. It makes you look frightfully stupid, having your mouth hanging open like that. "
Lighthearted and funny without being silly. It was really just a delight to read:)

Pairing: Jeeves/Wooster
Summary: While apart for some time, Bertie and Jeeves agree to write each other dirty letters
But--and I point this out because I have read and reread your last letter many times--I don't think that was the case. You say you felt desire, Jeeves, whilst thinking of me alone in my bed. I admit that, after I had finished putting the Wooster seal on the thing, I also felt that familiar surge of need.
I bet you're thinking that any dirty letters between these two would sound wildly out of character and maybe even ridiculous. Oh how wrong you would be. There's a delicious build up to this until Jeeves finally gets into the spirit of things and surprises himself, the reader and Bertie:)
And the things triedunture can do to you just by changing her breathing? Let's just say I *really* enjoyed this podfic:)

Title: Reggie And Wooster

Pairing: Jeeves/Wooster
Summary: At first glance Wooster appears to be a reasonable Gentleman's gentleman. His collar is ironed, his dark suit simple but well-pressed, and a bowler hat sits upon his head, although the style does not suit him terribly well.
After trotting through five of the agency's purported best men I suggested (in a flash of perverse inspiration, it must be acknowledged) that they send me their worst fellow; shortly thereafter Wooster arrived on my doorstep. As I have said, at first glance he appears to be a reasonable Gentleman's gentleman. His collar is ironed, his dark suit simple but well-pressed, and a bowler hat sits upon his head, although the style does not suit him terribly well.
Can you imagine? Bertie as a valet? Bertie as *Jeeves* valet? It's definitely comical in places but there's more to it than that, to me the change in situation changes Jeeves more than Bertie.

Summary: While apart for some time, Bertie and Jeeves agree to write each other dirty letters.
My word, it's difficult to get this ball rolling, so to speak. I mean to say, one spends hours and hours tossing and turning in bed at night, thinking of all sorts of things to put down on paper in a letter like this. And in one's head, all the lines sound rather corking and fruity. But when one is sitting at one's desk, actually about to write the thing, it all sounds a bit thick. What I'm getting at here, Jeeves, is that I'm rather nervous; I've never done anything like this before, and I hope I can carry it off in the proper way.
Oh, my. The language used here, both sexual and otherwise, drives home the fact that this is set in the 1920's. And somehow *that* makes everything so much dirtier, so much more shocking when they get comfortable and start detailing their fantasies at length.

Summary: A very bad thing happens. And then we must go on.
But just as Jeeves was about to parse out the solicited information, the strange man pulled a metallic, glinting something from his jacket pocket, aimed it, and fired it. It was only after ten whole seconds had passed that Bertie realised the something was actually a gun: five to recover from the loud banging noise, three to stand in shock, and two to grope for the word 'gun'.
We get to see Bertie under pressure and at one point he actually cracks, which was quite shocking for me. Not what I'm used to from my usual lighthearted romps through Wodehousian England. We get an introduction to the Jeeves family and we get to see Bertie take control...or as much as he's capable of it anyway.

Summary: A Bertie POV this time, featuring Aunt Agatha and Stiffy Byng and kinky tie bondage, oh my. (Er, but the bondage does not involve Aunt A. or Stiffy. *shudder*)
So it was a decidedly less-than-braced Bertram who motored up to Totleigh and presented himself for inspection. I had had a spot of trouble with the car – how was I to know that the thing would get so deuced temperamental if I didn't offer it petrol every other moment? The blighted machine was rather like my pal Chuffy's cousin, that foul young blister Seabury – rather greedy and demanding, I mean to say. Anyway, as a result, I had missed dinner completely and was feeling as empty around the midsection as the Grand Canyon, not to mention still rather cheesed off about the recent coolness from Jeeves, and dreading the entire notion of Totleigh Towers. As soon as I walked in, I was set upon by Aunt Agatha and Stiffy, which improved my mood not a whit.
This girl is awesome at voices, she maintains this great level of energy right throughout the reading. And the story itself is a great Bertie POV, stylistically very true to the sound and feel of the books.

Summary: Jeeves miscalculates. Bertie and the world stand in collective shock.
Bertie paused mid-chew and allowed his last bit of toast to fall from his slack fingers onto the breakfast tray. He eyed his valet closely before swallowing with slow care. 'I say,' he said to Jeeves, who was standing at attention at the Wooster bedside, 'did you just say you loved me?'
There used to be two authors that I had to stop myself from reccing everything that they ever wrote ever and now there's another.
triedunture writes Jeeves/Wooster like a dream and it's never too late to get into another fandom people! So, go read:)

Pairing: Jeeves/Wooster
Summary: Jeeves comes into a bit of money. Enter ruses, angry words over gentlemen's accessories, Bingo attempting to be helpful, and a trip to India.
Things had progressed nicely. There had been an inspired few moments of hand-holding at the piano bench, followed some weeks later by a rather bold kiss to Jeeves' cheek while he was helping me out of my dressing gown one night. I had blushed and stammered, thinking I had gone too far in a moment of weakness, but Jeeves had merely slid a hand over his cheek, an amused glint in his eyes, and wished me a goodnight before gliding off to his own lair. I had fallen asleep with a girlish smile fixed on my own face, I'm sure. And the day before receiving the news about the uncle, I had sprawled on the chesterfield with my head in Jeeves' lap while we read our respective improving books. It had been absolutely topping, in my opinion. Nothing could beat Jeeves' upper thigh for a pillow while his fingers played idly in the Wooster curls.
Everything is going swimmingly in this long fic until Jeeves received the news that his uncle has died and left him great riches and property...in India. Cue misunderstandings and separation and High Romance. Jeeves is perfectly proper and Wooster is perfectly silly and it's all a great deal of fun.

Summary: Bertie begins writing for the first time.
'You should be happy, old man. This is a love letter, after all. And a dashed fine one, too. A little verbose, but --'
'It is certainly not a love letter! It's a work of fiction!'
Bingo frowned. 'Oh, Bertie, I don't think so. Why, no self-respecting magazine would print this in their serial section. It's entertaining, mind, but this bit here about Jeeves being your cupbearer, well, even someone as daft as me can see what you mean.'
triedunture has an uncanny ear for Bertie's voice, the way he speaks and thinks. And given that she's both writer and reader of this it's something of an experience to listen to. It had me laughing and grinning madly and made me really, *really* happy. It's a delightful listen, I can't recomment it highly enough.

Summary: In which Jeeves is surprised, Bertie hides in a closet, and there are far too many scenes involving ties.
That very afternoon, I was preparing Mr. Wooster for a lunch outing with his Aunt Agatha. He seemed to be viewing the outing with his usual mixture of determined cheer and dread, and I saw an opportunity to explore my theory when he stood in front of the mirror to adjust his tie.
I approached from behind and began whisking a lint brush over his back. Ostensibly to hold him steady while I performed this task, I placed a hand at the curve of his neck and shoulder. I allowed my thumb to brush against the exposed skin at his nape, shifting slightly with each stroke of the brush.
I don't often read a Jeeves/Wooster story with a Jeeves voice, so I liked that aspect of it. But also I just like that maybe Jeeves isn't always the one who has the most accurate take on a situation. Jeeves has a theory, it's just not the right one:)
