Summary:

Well, it’s a bit of a complex sort of story. I mean, it’s hard for a fellow to know where to begin. Was it when Dax finagled me into agreeing to get hitched? Or was it when my man Garak dropped callous words on my astounded ears? Or was it the hungry look in the Lady’s eye?

Oh, it’s no good: I’ll just have to start at the beginning. Brace yourselves, and let Uncle Julian spin for you a tale that’ll have your locks porpentinial in about two-and-a-half shakes.

(PG Wodehouse’s ‘Jeeves and Wooster’ meets DS9’s 'Garak and Bashir’. Expect ridiculous dialogue, giggle-inducing hijinks, and Garak to make it all right again after Julian’s made it all wrong.)

Written by tinsnip. Illustrated by Lady Yate-Xel. (For more of Lady’s art in this 'verse, may I suggest perusal of the tumblr tags ds1920s and what ho garak, among others?

All done! Thanks so much for reading, don’t you know, and pip pip etcetera!

Chapter 6: less than absolutely delish, what?

[ladyyatexel]

"What Ho, Garak!"  is on AO3~

Known in some tags as DS1920s, this is a story set in the DS9 universe as seen through a P.G. Wodehouse’s “Jeeves” filter.   

Spawned by deep love for Wodehouse’s Bertie and Jeeves and Deep Space Nine’s Garak and Bashir, “What Ho, Garak!” is written by the fabulous tinsnip and illustrated with 1920’s art deco in space by Lady Yate-xel (that’s me).  The drawings fed the writing and then the writing fed the drawings in a happy little collaboration we really hope you enjoy! 

There is, joyously, more to come, and what not.

[tinsnip]

What ho, what ho, what ho, what??

Enjoy!

kitkat-bar asked:

So if one were to want to get into reading Wodehouse, is there a particular place one should start, or do I just begin at the beginning, or is it more like Pratchett where there's little sets, or--?

You can start anywhere. Literally anywhere.

Jeeves and Wooster exist mostly in the Genteel Interbellum, and time never really passes. Everything happens at once. Mostly. Grab a story, any story. Bertie will quickly sum up anything you might need to know, and then you’re right away into the fun.

Starting with the shorts is nice, because the plots are quick and easy and you can get used to Wooster-tongue. Then you can chew into a book and enjoy how Bertie is screwed six ways from Sunday before the story even starts, oh, it’s super delightful.

Why not start here? It has the advantage of being free! And then if you like it, oh, my, there’s a lot more!

Voldemort and Snape as Wooster and Jeeves, and it is pitch perfect.

1) I don’t even go here.
2) I read this anyway.
3) You should read this too.

Imagine in DS9 if they had used Jeeves and Wooster as the basis for one of Bashir’s holosuite programs rather than James Bond. Then they might not have gotten nasty cease and desist letters for the episode.

``Eureka, sir. Like Archimedes.’'

I can’t even fathom spending the hour-long bus commute to work everyday without P.G. Wodehouse. His stuff is just SO DENSE with the kind fig lang that makes me bark-laugh out loud and startle all the other sorry patrons of Sydney’s mediocre public transport.  Have a brief representative sample: 

"Honoria was a ghastly dynamic exhibit who read Nietzsche and had a laugh like waves breaking on a stern and rock-bound coast."

 

"For a moment I saw my Aunt Agatha for what she was - not, as I had long imagined, a sort of man-eating fish at the very mention of whose name strong men quivered like aspens, but a poor goop who had just dropped a very serious brick."

 

"I can’t say I exactly saw eye-to-eye with young Tuppy in his admiration for the Bellinger female. Delivered on the mat at one-twenty-five, she proved to be an upstanding light-heavyweight of some 30 summers, with a commanding eye and a square chin which I, personally, would have steered clear of. She seemed to me a good deal like what Cleopatra would have been after going in too freely for the starches and cereals."

 

"Aunt Dahlia is one of those big, hearty women. She used to go in a lot for hunting, and generally speaks as if she had just sighted a fox on a hillside half a mile away. […]If all other sources of income failed, she could make a good living calling the cattle home across the Sands of Dee."

 

"If ever there was a kid whose whole appearance seemed to call aloud to any right-minded boy to lure him into a quiet spot and inflict violence upon him, that kid was undoubtedly Sebastián Moon."

 

"When it is a question of a pal being in the soup, we Woosters no longer think of self, and that poor old Bingo was knee-deep in the bisque was made clear by his appearance-which was that of a cat which has just been struck by a half-brick and is expecting another shortly."

 

Flawless.

'I want you to spring the news on him. I haven't the nerve myself.'

'What! I'm hanged if I do!'

'And you call yourself a pal of mine!'

'Yes, I know; but there are limits.'

'Bertie,' said Bingo, reproachfully, 'I saved your life once.'

'When?'

'Didn't I? It must have been some other fellow, then. Well, anyway, we were boys together and all that. You can't let me down.'

— P.G. Wodehouse
