Wimseyfic rec

[nineveh_uk]

executrix has written Maiden Overs, a Lord Peter Wimsey/Downton Abbey crossover, in which a visit from a certain Mr Pamuk conincides with one by Lord Peter, and everything is sorted out quite nicely.

Also whilst I am about it, I completely failed to point out two excellent and contrasting bits of commentfic in the post-one-night-stand-Harriet-is-pregnant Attenbury Emeraldsresponse, this one on LJ by lopezuna_writes and this one on DW by antisoppist.

Hah! Thanks for pointing this out. I was just recently pointing out in TWOP (to no response) that Thomas and Frank Crutchley are interesting to compare.

Hmm, blackmailer vs. murderer!

Since I still haven't seen Downton Abbey (something which I should probably redress), I have to forego the first one, but the two comment fics are quite brilliant.

Comments suggest the first fic is still entertaining even if you haven't seen Downton. The comment fics are great - I ought to have remembered to point them out sooner.

How much of Downton Abbey do I need to have watched before I can read it, assuming I'm trying to avoid spoilers?

If you're trying to avoid spoilers, then you need to have watched all of it, as there are spoilers for the final episode.

Thanks!
