Valet in a Bottle by Rosamundeb (PG-13)

Fandom: JEEVES & WOOSTER
Pairing: Jeeves/Bertie Wooster
Author on LJ: [livejournal.com profile] rosamundeb
Author Website: check LJ for updates
Why this must be read:

For our last J/W rec on [livejournal.com profile] crack_van, a fic both sublime and ridiculous. In response to the question 'Where does Jeeves sleep?', this is a well-sustained, hot fic that posits an amusing idea in three episodes.

I hope you're enjoyed the ride through some of the best that Jeeves & Wooster has to offer. It's been great fun re-reading and selecting some of my favorites. Hope to see you in the fandom - toodle-pip!



Jeeves made a final brush to remove the last wrinkle from the garments before straightening up and pivoting noiselessly, one eyebrow arched slightly. “Sir?”

“A question occurs to the old Wooster bean, Jeeves. Where do you sleep at night?”

The other eyebrow rose slightly to join the first on that noble brow. “Sleep, sir?”

“Yes, Jeeves - sleep, slumber, hit the hay, lower the eyelids, stretch out the old frame - sleep! When I’m tucked into the old fourposter at night - where do you sleep?”

“Sir, there is no need to be concerned with my sleeping arrangements. I assure you that I rest quite comfortably, sir. “ Jeeves inclined his head slightly, eyes averted and began to turn towards the door.

“I say - Jeeves!” Jeeves’ back stiffened. My tone surprised even me, but this was unheard of - Jeeves, avoiding a question? This was no way for a gentleman’s gentleman to act. If there was a problem, it was dashed important that I know about it. And so I stood up, arms folded, back straight, and stepped into the breach. “Jeeves, I am disappointed. I asked you a question, a simple, honest question, and I do not think it too much to expect you to answer it - where do you sleep?”

Jeeves faced me, sighing deeply. “I was afraid this day would come, sir."

I did enjoy the ride. Great recs, and excellent pimpage. Pimped me right in, and I'm out trying to convert others.

Thank you so much for all your efforts!!!

Hi! I just wanted to compliment you on what a marvelous job you've done with the J&W recs this month. I enjoyed all of them immensely. *applauds*

I am still stunned by my discovery of this fandom (which took me back happily to old favourite readings from childhood) and feels very grateful for the reminder. I just ordered the DVD from Amazone... Thanks so much!

Thank you

This month I've read 654 pages of Wodehouse short stories, watched the first season of Jeeves and Wooster, and enjoyed some of the finest fan fiction ever. It's all thanks to you, you did a wonderful job showing the joys of Jeeves and Wooster and I am happier for it. As a proper thanks I will now donate one of my more eye catching yet slightly tasteless shirts to charity. Then I continue reading!

Oh, Absolutely. I only started reading J&W this month so your recs have been exceedingly helpful. I had no idea there was such first rate fanfiction floating around online. It fills me with glee and makes me want to pick up a pen myself.

Cheerio!
