They came, you know, and told me you were dead, by antisoppist (PG)
Fandom: Lord Peter Wimsey
Pairing: Harriet/Bunter
Length: 3200
Author on LJ:
antisoppist
Why this must be read:
I have just told you that this is a Harriet/Bunter fic. Do you need another reason?
Oh, all right then.
Considering that Harriet confessed on her wedding night that she loved Bunter, it’s taken a surprisingly long time for a fanfic in which she gets to go to bed with him. This is that fic, and happily it is utterly, magnificently worth waiting for. It’s an AU that posits that Peter did not come back from his overseas mission of the Wimsey Papers/Presumption of Death to live happily ever after with Harriet, but died leaving her a widow with two sons. And Bunter. It is sensitive, plausible, with spot-on characterisation, and very, very funny. Last December,
azdak suggested that Wimseyfic fell into two catagories – more than, and more of. This fic does both.
Harriet propped herself on one elbow and contemplated the dark head on the pillow beside her. Dawn had not, as part of her mind had feared, brought regret and a sickening sense of “what have I done?” but peace, the memory of laughter and the absence of the heavy numbness that had weighed on her since Peter’s death. Waiting for Bunter to wake, she could only hope he felt the same way about it.
