A few more Yuletide recs that will make you laugh, and then I'll be AFK for a bit. Happy New Year, everyone!



Harmless (2687 words) by Anonymous

Warning: No Archive Warnings Apply
Characters: Havelock Vetinari, Cheery Littlebottom, Adora Belle Dearheart, Constable Dorfl

A rogue golem appears to be interfering with the harmless everyday activities of the respectable citizens of Ankh Morpork.

This is a stealth Asimov crossover and is hilarious.

Persuasion in the City (1748 words) by Anonymous
Fandom: Discworld - Terry Pratchett
Rating: General Audiences

Characters: Samuel Vimes, Angua von Uberwald, Jane Gordon
Summary:
It is a truth universally acknowledged that a text in possession of more than a passing reference to a certain literary work that shall not be named, must begin with the phrase 'It is a truth universally acknowledged'.

Another hilarious play with Jane Austen and Discworld. And Carrot's punctuation.

Even a 00 agent isn't told all the things MI5 has up its sleeve. Of course, things can get interesting when they find out anyway.

A fun adventure with excellent banter.

When Bertie and his android Jeeves flee the claws of dowager wrath by booking an intergalactic cruise with a dejected friend, they are inadvertently swept into the midst of an epic tale of love, hubris. and sacrifice.

Do I need to say more? PG Wodehouse on crack, in the best possible way.
