Jeeves and Wooster (TV series)/Fanfic Recs: Difference between revisions

These are recommendations made by tropers for [[Jeeves and Wooster (novel)|Jeeves and Wooster]] fanfics, all of which have to be signed to stay on the page. After a few samples, you will be able to note the interests of the tropers recommending them, and judge whether you might be also interested in a certain 'fic.

 

 

Reviews of fics are encouraged, but if you choose to write one, please make it substantive, and give specific details about what you liked / disliked in the fic. If you want to give a fic a thumbs-up without writing a full review, you can add your troper handle to the Recommendations Line. Please refrain from posting "Comments" or [[Conversation in the Main Page]] though; that goes in the discussion page.

* Synopsis: What's the story about? Give here a brief summary of the plot. It would be also useful to point out in what moment of the series the story takes place. If it's a Gen Fic but it has some romantic elements, note here the characters involved too.

* Pairing(s): If it's a Shipping Fic, list here the pairings that feature in the fic (warn here if it's het, male slash or female slash). If it's a Gen Fic, remove this line. To tell the difference between the two, notice if the focus of the fic is on a romantic relationship or if it focuses on the other aspects of the story. In case of doubt, classify the story according to the genres it's been tagged: the Romance tag for Shipping, absence of that tag for Gen Fic.

* ''Synopsis'': Lord Attenbury's emeralds have gone missing while he was staying with Aunt Dahlia, and for once Bertie had nothing to do with it. Fortunately, Bertie's old Oxford chum [[Lord Peter Wimsey|"Flim" Wimsey]] is on hand, and proves to have a knack for the detecting business; Bertie also shows hitherto-unsuspected depths. Starts as a typically fluffy Wooster story, but turns over some unexpected rocks; the narration is all Bertie, but the villains are more in Lord Peter's line, as is the undercurrent flowing from the aftereffects of the War.

* ''Warnings'': See above about "aftereffects of the War", some of which get described in detail and language not usual for Wodehouse. Also, [[Alternate Character Interpretation]] of a canon character which is not going to be everybody's cup of tea.

''Stories whose primary focus is on romantic or sexual relationships between the cast.''

* ''Pairings'': Bertie/Jeeves

* ''Pairings'': Jeeves/Wooster

* ''Summary'': An overheard conversation changes everything. Histories, mysteries, romance, and a dive or two into the soup.

* ''Pairings'': Jeeves/Wooster.

* ''Summary'': Bertie has a rather rummy realization, but there's hardly time to consider it, what with all the dratted relations who've decided to invade the old Wooster homestead, not to mention Honoria Glossop. Only Jeeves could possibly save this day.

 

 

* ''Tags'': hurt/comfort

* ''Pairings'': Jeeves/Wooster.

* ''Comments'': If you've ever thought Bertie deserves a hug for all the abuse he has to cope with, this is your fic. The parts about the {{spoiler|war}} are a bit of a stretch for a Wodehousian narrative, but the sheer emotional intensity of the story and the ever-present humour manage to keep it fresh and enjoyable. Definitely worth a read.
