Summary:
Jeeves comes into a bit of money. Enter ruses, angry words over gentlemen's accessories, Bingo attempting to be helpful, and a trip to India.
Review:
When Jeeves's uncle dies and leaves him his estate, it seems at first that nothing need change in Bertie's and Jeeves's lives. However, things shift subtly, and Jeeves soon realizes that his obligations to his uncle's estate in India, require him to leave Bertie's service. It's a painful wake-up call to Bertie, who doesn't know how to express his feelings to Jeeves and drops into a deep depression, until he and Bingo work out (increasingly farcical) plans to attempt to win Jeeves back or somehow work Bertie back into Jeeves's life.
The tone of this story, while preserving a Wodehouseian voice and humor--particularly with Bertie's plans--is overall rather heart-wrenching. They love one another, but it's a love that can't be expressed publicly and external obligations force them apart. Bertie's inability to communicate or deal with his emotions, as well as his little glimpses of Jeeves's loneliness really get to me.
Fortunately, they (mostly Jeeves) are able to resolve things, and have a happy ending once things are cleared up.

Summary:
Bertie was a rich wizard from an old wizarding family, and Jeeves was his very capable, very intelligent, not totally servile house elf.
Review:
The unfortunate consequences of a wish-granting spell change everything, and eventually Jeeves decides he must leave Bertie's service. Neither are happy with this, and Bertie does his best to find someone that can counter the spell. Of course, an unexpected engagement (with a wonderful cameo appearance by a Harry Potter character) must be averted, socks are pilfered, a territorial house elf dispute endangers everything, and a misunderstanding between Jeeves and Bertie need to be cleared up.
I love this story, with it's perfect meshing of the two 'verses. The characterizations are great, and I can really believe Bertie as an eccentric wizard and Jeeves his house elf with more attitude than the norm. The surprise AWESOME Harry Potter character cameo was pitch perfect and a great surprise. Beyond that, the plot, with its combination of typical Bertie bumbling and marriage evasion and magical hijinks are so much fun, especially with the requisite happy ending.

Summary:
Bertie was a rich wizard from an old wizarding family, and Jeeves was his very capable, very intelligent, not totally servile house elf.
Review:
The unfortunate consequences of a wish-granting spell change everything, and eventually Jeeves decides he must leave Bertie's service. Neither are happy with this, and Bertie does his best to find someone that can counter the spell. Of course, an unexpected engagement (with a wonderful cameo appearance by a Harry Potter character) must be averted, socks are pilfered, a territorial house elf dispute endangers everything, and a misunderstanding between Jeeves and Bertie need to be cleared up.
I love this story, with it's perfect meshing of the two 'verses. The characterizations are great, and I can really believe Bertie as an eccentric wizard and Jeeves his house elf with more attitude than the norm. The surprise AWESOME Harry Potter character cameo was pitch perfect and a great surprise. Beyond that, the plot, with its combination of typical Bertie bumbling and marriage evasion and magical hijinks are so much fun, especially with the requisite happy ending.

Review:
Jeeves is being blackmailed. Bertie overhears and saves the day, in his own inimitable fashion. A light and frothy fic, with a little hint of angst underneath for poor Jeeves's situation. I imagine if the tale had been told from Jeeves's perspective, there would be buckets of angst as he worries about what the blackmailer will do. Fortunately, Bertie has noticed something is wrong, and both his take on things and his methods are simultaneously hilarious and effective. (As his conscripted assistant says "God looks after fools and madmen.") In the end, Jeeves's secrets are safe, and the two come to a surprising and mutually beneficial understanding.
It's such a fun story, and one I've used for a pick-me-up on occasion. It's astonishing how much astolat fits into less than five thousand words of fic, the characterization and humor and action. For once, Jeeves needs someone to fix things, and Bertie does it in spades.

Title: Jeeves and the Hole in Time by Mice

Mice
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.
