Summary
I take a long hard look at myself in the mirror and I don’t like what I see. It’s time to finally admit the tough truth: my hair has gotten way too long.
I take a deep breath and grab the scissors.

Summary
Rocky is fascinated by flutes. Turns out Eridians don’t have any wind instruments. It makes sense, given the fact they don’t exactly have mouths. Or lungs. That’s why I’m currently using the 3D printer to make a recorder. Rocky wasn’t satisfied with just listening, he wants to see how it works in real time.

Summary
“You must leave my nephew’s service immediately,” Lady Worplesdon began. Unlike her nephew, she had the habit of cutting to the quick of the argument succinctly with no preamble.
“I believe that is up to Mr. Wooster’s sole discretion, ma’am. I do not fancy I have given him any cause for complaint during my time in his employ.”
“You misunderstand me. I am not asking.”
-
When Aunt Agatha blackmails Jeeves to leave Bertie's employ, Jeeves quietly makes his exit. But perhaps Bertie won't give up on him quite as easily as Jeeves thinks....

Valet's Honeymoon by romanathethird

Summary
If you were playing one of those word-association games that those psychiatrist Johnnies use to tell you that you have odd beliefs about cigars, I bet it would take a good long while before you got from ‘honeymoon’ to ‘aunt’. If there’s one thing that you’re not supposed to have on a honeymoon, it’s an aunt. In fact, as we approached Venice, as far as I knew all my troublesome relatives were five hundred or more miles of clear blue sea away from me, and I gave them not a thought.
In which Jeeves and Wooster are enjoying a relaxing and romantic honeymoon - until Aunt Agatha appears.
(Part 3 of a series, but can be read as a standalone).
