Guest chapter 1 . 10/13/2015 I can't believe there's fic for this. Well, I guess I can. There's fic for everything. Mostly what I can't believe is that in such a presumably small content producing fandom, there is fic this good! This is rather beautiful. Well done. |
IstariWho chapter 1 . 2/22/2014 Awww... poor Peter! Thanks for writing! Hannon-le! |
amitai chapter 1 . 10/9/2012 Oh, this is just absolutely lovely! |
Catherine Pugh chapter 1 . 7/30/2012 So well done. Good inner monologue, like a memory. Well written! Love the insight of Peter's character. |
Goldleaf83 chapter 1 . 10/7/2011 Another beautifully worked story: the arc of episodes from childhood to the end of Sayers' series perfectly encapsulates this aspect of Wimsey's character, of which he himself is highly self-aware. Each one is grounded directly or implicitly in canonical references, which are a pleasure to catch for those of us who have read all the books. Yet they are simultaneously heart-breaking in showing the impact of the events on Peter from his perspective, rather than outside as we see in Sayers's own work. And the set of vignettes taken as a whole forms a very thoughtful meditation on fear, violence, responsibility, and death. A very fine job indeed! |
fledge chapter 1 . 9/14/2011 Another highly philosophical and/or psychological from DLS reincarnate. A wonderful portrait of Peter - again - and in addition a subtle argument against capital punishment. Principles certainly do kill. Actually, there is a lot of truth in the idea that all the really horrible atrocities in history have been committed by so-called (self-styled) idealists... A rare treat indeed! |
Dickensian812 chapter 1 . 8/26/2011 Oh, my word. That was so good. So, SO good. You've captured Peter just brilliantly. |
leyapearl chapter 1 . 8/22/2011 Very nice. You've hit the characterization spot on. This was a pleasure to read. |
Captain Weirdo chapter 1 . 8/5/2011 Well done! cw |
Olivia chapter 1 . 7/17/2011 This was beautifully written and characterised, and a real pleasure to read. Thank you! |
nariB chapter 1 . 6/17/2011 Lovely characterisation. there is just not enough Wimseyfic out there. Togsos |
perwinkle27 chapter 1 . 6/16/2011 This is very well done. You've caught several of the key elements of Peter - the shell shock, the trouble he has when a murderer is to be hung, his reliance on Bunter and later Harriet. Very nice vignettes. |
ShakNali chapter 1 . 6/16/2011 Nicely done. The ending of Busman's Honeymoon has always stuck with me vividly. Dear Peter is the only detective I can think of who genuinely feels upset at sending someone to death row, even if the person is an unrepentant murderer. There are a few who feel some regret, but the vast majority seem to wipe their hands and say, "Well, that's done. What now?" Peter, on the other hand, acknowledges that there is a real person involved, not just "a criminal'. |
