#* chats : thomas jeeves .

[patricianandclerk]

BERTIE AND THOMAS. Gosh yes. Bertie's very polite and a bit confused, you know, he really doesn't need any help, he has Jeeves. But he thinks Thomas is perfectly nice and treats him really well, and like... honestly, when people TREAT Thomas like he's capable of goodness, he's a much better person? So just having Bertie around improves his behavior a lot. Jeeves doesn't approve of Thomas going after the young master, but he can certainly understand. I want to subscribe to this newsletter tbh.

YEAH though especially when it’s like

so bertie arrives at downton, and is fucking On Eggshells because there’s several marriageable girls about and that’s always the fucking dangerzone, but jeeves is finishing up some business down in london, because bertie got the train up, but jeeves will be bringing up the car tomorrow

so this evening, bertie has thomas helping him dress down, and thomas is like, oh boy, oh boy, OH BOY, because this guy is fucking handsome, and he’s rich, and he seems to be... kind?

and he chatters away to thomas and makes all this conversation, and says, in a sort of bland and casual way, like people say this sort of thing all the time, “oh, you are the handsome sort, aren’t you?” and says, “oh, you’re dashed-well informed, aren’t you? reminds me of my man jeeves! good lord, you don’t go in for spinoza, do you?”

and fucking

bc the thing is, bertie, he’s so bertie

so the thing is, it’s one thing for him to chatter away happily to thomas and say thanks awfully, dashed good of you, i’ve never been well the master of my own buttons without a man to help me, and thomas is actually a little confused by the signals here bc this man is the gayest individual he’s ever met but isn’t making any advance at all

but bertie WON’T just say to thomas, “oh, you’re handsome and intelligent” - he’ll sing thomas’ praises to the fucking lord and lady, and to carson. he’ll SAY, “gosh, isn’t your man thomas just a marvel?”, and like, can you imagine thomas’ sneaky, eavesdropping ass hearing this absolute fucking stranger chatting merrily away to lord grantham about what an absolute star his footman is

OFFERING TO FUCKIN. put thomas in touch with a man to valet to????

and THEN, god, when jeeves comes up to the house, and you have this tall, handsome man in the servants’ quarters, who is polite and quiet and spends his free time reading improving books, but who makes fine and delicate conversation with the young ladies, and who is just a bit less trustful of thomas, but the thing is like

he and thomas are quite similar, in a lot of ways? thomas lacks of his self-restraint and his sense of strategy, but a lot of their instincts and drives are the same, and jeeves would, i think, appreciate a man who wants the best for himself but just needs to be reined in and honed a little bit, and to learn the value of loyalty over self-focus, and how that can be rewarding in itself

and the like, sharp little coughs when it comes to thomas eager for bertie until the pin drops and thomas is like OH. RIGHT. OOPS.

it’s unlike jeeves to go the entire morning without talking to her, but what the hell is he supposed to do when luke’s been breathing down her neck like a guard dog? the other had made it abundantly clear: you talk to my girlfriend, i’ll kick your ass, and although jeeves believes it’s both incredibly immature and borderline toxic, he can’t deny the guy’s got the strength to back it all up; take it beyond the point of empty threats. so, like the conflict-avoiding creature he is, he tries to stay out of the way when it fees reasonable, and as of late, even when it doesn’t. it’s not until lunch that he spots the girl on her own, finally free from the overbearing shadow of an overprotective asshole in a semi- alright looking guy’s body. afraid he’ll miss the opportunity, he prepares a humble apology gift in form of an apple before approaching, characteristically awkward and just the tiniest bit nervous. “hey! how- how are you?” pissed? disappointed? he surely hopes not, although he wouldn’t blame her. “how was last night?”

it’s literally five words. five little words, and yet, he’s been rehearsing them this whole morning. “i’m in love with you.” announced with feigned confidence in front of a bathroom mirror. “i’m in love with you.” whispered over a cheese toast. “i’m in love with you.” it plays in his brain like a broken record, making him feel like he’s walking on pins and needles, stomach turning, the anxiety increasing with each passing second. when he finally comes face to face with her, it feels like the earth might swallow him whole. heart races, palms sweating profusely. “i have to tell you something.” they both say at the exact same time. is it faith? suddenly, it’s as if jeeves has forgotten the basic concept of language, mind racing, the anticipation eating him alive. does she feel it, too? only one way to find out. like a lost, awkward gentleman, he passes over the metaphorical mic. “uhh,” a sheepish smile. “you can go first.”

“i spook easy,” a sheepish confession, though not too outlandish considering there’s a possible killer on the loose. “not to be confused with "speakeasy".”

"we’re placing ourselves in grave danger, which i’m not buzzing about, to be honest.”
