Ficlet: Fall

[thirstyrobot]

What ho, I suppose? I am de-lurking with a ficlet. It was actually written for the Porn Battle, but my inexplicable need to make an icon for the occasion delayed starting it. It was also some 500 characters too long, and cutting it down caused it to be 13 minutes too late, and it contains no porn anyway, so really sort of a wash all round

Ahhhh, so adorable:) I love the "damsel-no-longer-in-distress might do to the avenging knight." line. I think it describes Bertie and Jeeves' relationship very well;)

[thirstyrobot]

Thank you! Yes, Jeeves often strikes me as the knight-in-shining, swooping in for last minute soup-extraction. Part of the charm, of course.

I love this! The "I trust you"/"I'll catch you" is sort of a microcosm of the Bertie/Jeeves dynamic.

He sounded as though he'd just spent the last few hours lighting one gasper off another, possibly with bouts of shouting in between. That is to say, hoarse.

I love this bit. I love Bertie metaphors in general, but in this instance I like the rambling extended metaphor...and then the actual point he's trying to make.

(And I'm pleased to hear about an epic of epic proportions in the works. I adore long fics.)

[thirstyrobot]

Thanks very much! I was rather proud of that line, actually, so it totally gives me a happy to have it pointed out. And hopefully the epic will wind itself down and get postable before too long, provided it doesn't turn out to be awful once I've pulled my head out of it. :P

Aw. That was great!

What an adorable ficlet ^^ I'm so glad the Porn Battle wielded something from the J&W fandom, as well! :)

Thank you! I only wish I could've managed the actual porn part of the equation, but one can't have everything.
