...Jeeves uses his ability to get people out of trouble as a job. :D
I think Jeeves is a man who knows how to recognise his strengths and work with them. It only makes sense that as someone born into respectability, he'd know how to make it a very profitable career from his problem-solving abilities.
Bertie/Chuffy! Awww!
I have a soft-spot for Chuffy. (And Rocky too, but that's neither here nor there for this story.) Of Bertie's various friends, at least any harm Chuffy does to Bertie is mostly unintentional and most of the time, Chuffy does seem geniunely fond of Bertie. (Which I think he would be here. At the same time, Chuffy is far more aware of class and status. He considers being upper-class and wealthy as necessary when he's courting, so it makes a certain sense that while he'd be rather fond of Bertie and willing to sleep with him, Chuffy would never consider Bertie in more emotional terms. Luckily, Jeeves is class-conscious but not blinkered by it, and he has a serious temperment that wouldn't consider becoming involved with a servant without being committed to the relationship.)
There wouldn't happen to be more of this waiting in the wings, would there?
Actually, no. Originally, there was more in my head but I had to cut it down to get it on paper. (And as it was, it still took about two years to finally finish off and get posted.)
