Thought you said the second one was to cheer us up! *cuddles poor Paisley*

Brilliantly written, though..

The Lady 529

Eek! I didn't mean to make anyone feel sorry for it! It might help if you imagine it being read aloud by the Hilarious British Person of Your Choice. (Mine was actually some Boffle vox pop incarnation of Hugh.)

[lady529]

I still feel sorry for poor Paisley though.. Maybe he can learn to appreciate being such a useful item to the two gentlemen?

And ooh, ooh, which one? *bounces on sofa*

The Lady 529

Hee! It's either one of the chavvy girls or the 'you eat your dinner off this' guy, but I don't have the episodes to check them.

The tie story is just classic. I never wondered what the ties thought of all these shenanigans, but now I know. That had to have been so much fun to write. Bossy and Fathead! Too funny.

[thirstyrobot]

It totally was fun. And sort of weird because I was sitting there with my coffee this morning debating whether or not a tie can become sexually aroused. O_o

1. Flawless in every way, to be framed and put on a wall in a prominent place. So warm and smooth, and believable and worded just so, and perfect.
2. Ouch! Nice and classic, indeed. Although now, I think, I'll be trifle weary for a while of what do my own articles of clothing feel or hear - a disquieting prospect.

[thirstyrobot]

Really? Flawless? Wow, thank you! ♥
Oh, lor, I'd hate to think of the inner monologue of my boots or something. I had no idea people would feel so bad for Paisley!

Octosyllabicis possibly an unique fic. Jeeves, overjoyed and madly in love, and Bertie who loves him also, but not quite the same way (yet). It's a lovely misunderstanding, that ends well. (thank you for not doing the cliché "...and I suddenly realized that this Wooster was passionately in love with his valet as well!"
No, you haven't hurt my feeling the lightest. ^^
But I can pretend, if you wish, because the poor Paisly fic? Well, my grin does not fit my face. ^^

I figure Bertie's slow enough on the uptake that the sudden realization approach can and does work, but it can get a bit tired and didn't really feel right to me here. And in case you couldn't tell, I'm rather a fan of taking 'traditional' plotlines and turning them on their heads.

Glad you liked! And that you were amused by poor old Paisley. :D

[closetofheroes]

Oh wow - that was fantastic! I'm laughing right now from the excellent tie-pov. 'At least Dove Grey can't see me now' - that was brilliant. I'm going to be laughing about that one for a while.

But the first piece was distinctly moving. There were points where, had I been writing it, things might have gone a bit differently - a bit more reluctance from Bertie creating more angst, for example, but that would have created a much longer tale, and in the end all I wanted was more.

Thank you, thank you! I'm in full agreement about Octo. having loads of room for more, but that's the thing about quickie ficlets. I'm highly inclined to expand on it at some point, but one thing at a time.
