Why this must be read:

Anyone attempting smut in Bertie Wooster's voice has their work cut out for them. The Wodehouseverse is in general so innocent one sometimes doubts sex exists at all past kissing and possibly a little heated knee-fondling, and Bertie is generally seen as the quintessential little lamb lost in the woods. It's one of the great joys of slashing these characters that the energy which in canon seems to be sublimated into cocktails and crisply knotted ties can be re-diverted right back where it really seems to originate. But there is, still, an inevitable challenge with language and point of view.

Which is exactly why this little parody is so deliciously, painfully hilarious.

Thank you so much for the rec; happy you enjoyed it! It seems like ages since I wrote that... okay, I checked the date. Four years ago. Wow.

You're very welcome! This was one of the first fics I ever read in the fandom - in fact, it may have been the very first - and I can still remember my "!!!" reaction coming across it. So fun.
