Summary:
Bertie and Jeeves set out for a walk in Hyde Park one day as Bertie attempts to escape yet another beazel. They end up in an entirely unexpected place. Whether or not they manage to maintain their sanity is an open question.

Review:
I adore this fic (and after discovering it, quickly read all the rest of Mice's Jeeves and Wooster stories, which are also awesome), which takes the cracky sounding premise of Jeeves and Wooster getting transported through time to 2009 Seattle and makes it a thoughtful and intelligent character-driven drama. Saved from drowning and taken in by a well-drawn original female character, Jeeves and Bertie have to make their way in the world with very little resources and cope with a very different world than the one they knew. Dealing with illness and injury from their transition to 2009, and the strange new society they live in, as well as the legality of same-sex relationships, the story draws you in to both their heads with alternating POV sections of Bertie and Jeeves.

If you can accept the premise, and don't mind quirky original characters taking on a large role (I certainly didn't; she felt interesting and unique without being a Mary Sue), then this is the story for you. I loved seeing how both Bertie and Reginald found their way in the world, and how their romance developed. Both feel very much in character, despite finding themselves in situations far removed from those in canon. Altogether an excellent, and very long and satisfying, read.

Summary:
Bertie Wooster's in the supernatural soup! After a swinging party in New York leaves him accidentally affianced to an elven heiress with more than the usual amount of matrimonial influence to throw around, where's a young gent to turn? Why, to old acquaintance Harold 'Mimsy' Dresden, part time investigator, part time stage magician, full time wizard. Together they'll have to scuttle Bertie's engagement and solve the mystery of a missing sword that could completely upend the New York social scene. In their corner they have their manservants--the inimitable Jeeves and the Machiavellian Johnson--as well as a tiny bouncer, a massive bookseller, and a shady informant who likes his payment in dirty novels. Arrayed against them are Mimsy's parole officer and Bertie's fellow suitors. Oh, and the entire might of the Old Families, those inscrutable Unseelie socialites who can't touch iron and won't ever let you out of a debt... or an engagement.

Review:
This fic is a delight. I'm not quite sure how binz and shiplizard managed it, but they combined the tone and time period of Jeeves and Wooster with universe of the Dresden Files, included almost all the characters from both, and it works! It's like cuddling up under a warm blanket with some hot chocolate.

The plot is a combination of most Jeeves and Wooster stories--Bertie trying to escape another engagement--with plot elements from the Dresden Summer Knight novel. All the Dresden characters are re-envisioned into the 1920s setting, and it's one wiz-bang of a rollicking case fic as Harry and Bertie try to extricate themselves from one sticky situation after another and Jeeves and Marcone come to the rescue with clever behind-the-scenes planning.
