Discworld. Vetinari/Vimes Adult.

Much thanks to witchword and richardf8 for beta reading.

Havelock Vetinari was a knife - cold, sharp, deadly. Sam knew that - he knew that as well as he knew he was a copper, as well as he knew his city. There was nothing warm, or gentle or...loving about the man.

I very much enjoyed that. Really good Discworld is hard to find and this is a gem. I'll even forgive you for [spoiler]. ;)

Thank you. And thank you for your forgiveness. It was very hard to write.

[cyprinella]

I bet. I think you handled it beautifully. I especially loved the Susan bits.

It's a great story, but there are two nitpicks...:

"I'll won't wake him, then. Perhaps, if her ladyship is feeling better, he might have a visit with her tomorrow." I'll won't wake him?

Vetinari smiled at that. "I would not be so sure. I have not seen the reports lately - how are your men getting on with the Thieve's Guild?" Thieve's, not "Thieves'"?

Again, very well-written, and I love your stuff.

Thank you. Fixed.

I'm glad you liked it.

I can see why it was so hard to write. But you did it right. You made her a person, and you made it meaningful.

The epilogue made me beam.

And the phrase "a..." will be making me laugh for a long time.

This was recommended to me by vassilissa and I enjoyed it very much, where 'enjoyed' means 'cried over'.

Thank you!
