Review:
Havelock Vetinari visits Uberwald as a young man, on the traditional Grand Sneer, with mostly-stupid companions. They stop at a vampire's castle, and he makes a valuable acquaintance in the owner. The two teach each other how to rule the world. In the sequel, Lady Margolotta visits the now-Patrician of Anhk-Morpork.
The characters are spot-on, and the stories account for a throwaway line in The Fifth Elephant by building up a plausible relationship between two very ambitious people. Bonus points for the passages from a book, written in the future, about the life of the Patrician. Note: when I went to the author's fic journal today, it appeared that more had been written in this universe that was not posted on Fanfiction.net. I haven't read any of the others, so while I presume they are good, I don't know the plots - and it looks like most of them are not Vetinari-centric.
