It feels like half the nation is converging on Sunhame in the hopes of glimpsing another series of miracles - hopes that all those actually involved in the last year's miracles are, in turn, very much hoping will be dashed.

Unfortunately for all involved, there will be few, if any, miracles. There will be no less work.

[This 460K+ series has been updating approximately monthly. If you are new to the series, start at the beginning: most of the cast is OCs and this installment is NOT where to start getting invested in either the characters or the Karsite side of events we basically only canonically see from the Valdemaran or Tarma-Kethry-Kerowyn perspectives. The series includes canon-typical violence and one subplot involves offscreen non-con.]

Marinette hadn't been sure, originally, that leaving on her Pokémon journey so much later than all her friends was such a good idea. She hadn't been ready to leave when they did, though, and she's ready now.

And then she finds a boy in the woods the first night she makes camp, and then she discovers something terribly wrong with the very first town they try to visit, and-

It's a good thing she waited, after all, because something is deeply wrong in their region, and she's going to need the friends she's finding along the way.

But which way will the balance fall?

Fairies Aren't Gentlemen by Amarguerite
Fandoms: Jeeves - P.G. Wodehouse, Jonathan Strange & Mr. Norell
https://archiveofourown.org/works/4512429/chapters/10263258

Or, "The Other Club Book." Bertie Wooster accidentally attends a party hosted by the Chappie with Thistledown Hair in the Faerie kingdom of Lost-Hope, and finds it dashed difficult to get out of another invitation. How can Jeeves possibly get him out of the soup when Bertie can't describe his rummy circs?

Reccer notes: This crossover is a great blend of different genres. Absolutely perfect Bertie-voice throughout. Funny and touching.

Sounds interesting!
