His Butler, Mirthful by Nimori (Gen)
Fandom: KUROSHITSUJI
Pairing: none
Length: 1509 words
Author on LJ:
nimori (no longer updated, see journal note)
Author Website: Nimori on AO3
Why this must be read:
Finny, Maylene and Bard are great characters in their own right, and this is a story to convince you that there's too little fic written from their point of view. They know less about the household than we in the audience do, but there are ways in which their perceptions may, paradoxically, be all the clearer for that.
The three, and Tanaka, decide that Sebastian owes them something more than his usual aloof patience, and challenge each other to make him laugh. The results are at once, and paradoxically, funny, warm, and chilling to the bone. This is one of those rare stories that's a pleasure to read the first time, and then gets stronger with re-reading: the better you know the characters the more of a punch it delivers.
