Why this must be read:
For all my occasional wanderings in the wilder realms of the Lord Peter Wimsey fandom, I nonetheless still love the more canon-compliant sort of story, and that perhaps closest to canon genre, the missing scene fic. Here,lopezuna_writes has carved a gem of a piece (intaligo Wimsey mice) as Harriet deals with the aftermath of the Wilvercombe mystery of Have His Carcase and its personal, professional, and legal fall-out. It's very much a character-driven story, a study of a pre-Gaudy Night Harriet, irritable, hurt and hurting, and still not quite able to get rid of Peter.
Harriet did not mention her European trip to Wimsey. She told herself that it was none of his business, and that he had no claim to know where she went or what she did - and in justice, she had to admit he had never asserted such a claim. But the thought that she was planning to disappear once again without telling him, this time for a prolonged period, made her feel curiously furtive. In consequence, she was more than usually bad-tempered on the occasions when they met, and let him know in no uncertain terms that if he thought their prolonged and frequent interactions at Wilvercombe had set a precedent for the future, he was bound to be disappointed. Wimsey responded with his usual imperturbable urbanity, leaving her with an unreasonable desire to hit him.
