Review:
This is a rarity among J&W fic: plotty *and* long. One of Bertie's (very attractive, *very* wealthy, and very, very dumb) friends takes a liking to Jeeves and sets about seducing him. Jeeves doesn't protest nearly enough for Bertie's peace of mind. Add into the mix a bawdy version of Twelfth Night (*everyone* wants to rehearse with Jeeves's Viola-esque character) and you have the makings of a farce. An extremely amusing farce.

This fic has something for everyone: truly Jeevesian machinations, an entertaining OC, and a Bertie so thickheaded that you want to beat him over the head with a baseball bat. Bonus: song lyrics from Mrs. Sir (the Twelfth Night adaptation everyone's so hot about).

Just letting you know, this story is apparently now found only on helena handbasket's livejournal page. Great story, and worth hunting out!
