Summary
“Good evening, Your Grace,” the kidnapper said coolly. “I do apologize for this. It seems I should have invested in more accurate mercenaries.”
“Look, the guards were coming and we just grabbed the first people we cou-”
The slim man held up a hand with a sharp sigh. “Vetinari’s terrier,” he interrupted, eyeing Vimes, and then turned his gaze to Drumknott. “And his lapdog.”

Summary
Hogswatch fic. Prompt: When the cold front rolls down from the hub, old injuries ache. They both care a lot about each other’s well-being and comfort but neither of them is the sort to slow down and take care of themselves, which is a tricky sort of situation. They’re each thinking, “someone ought to retire early and have a warm bath before the day is out.” Neither of them is thinking, “that someone is me.”

Summary
‘Could you stop sniffing my hair? It’s distracting.’
‘Sorry, just…nice herbs. Garden herbs.’
‘I see the brandy’s kicking in at least.’ Havelock is surprised, Downey sounds for all the Disc as though he's trying quite hard not to laugh. ‘You have the better end of the deal, by the way, you smell of blood and lilacs.’
(His chest feels too empty for recrimination, this minute the spades are eating the earth as they dig Keel’s grave.)

Drumknott looked at the ceiling without moving his head “Maybe you can have another piece of cake and cease subjecting me to the mortifying ordeal of being known.”

The Dressing Gown of Dimensions by Minutia_R for youtomyme

Summary
"I was referring," said the man, "to the ongoing magical crisis that's threatening to destroy your entire world, and possibly several adjacent worlds as well. There is one, isn't there?"
"I hope not!" said Leonard. An annoyed look flickered briefly across the man’s vague expression, and Leonard added apologetically, “You might inquire at the University? I’m afraid that I don’t get much news here."
Rufus Drumknott has been in love with his employer for years, and he's sure that Lord Vetinari must know it. But it will take a visit from a couple of enchanters from another world, and a magical toddler running amok with one of Leonard of Quirm's flying machines, to get either of them to do anything about it . . .

Summary
Contrary to established and documented fact, the Dark Clerks did, in fact, exist. When one says something awful - in fact, some things awful, plural - about Lord Vetinari's mobility, Rufus Drumknott must deal with the the consequences of of the Clerk's tongue.

Summary
His Lordship did, Rufus had observed, have many traits most of the populace passed off as appropriately Tyrannical quirks, and thus never really considered, much like how most of the populace assumed the Lady Ramkin’s interests were natural due to her wealth and high breeding, and not because she understood dragons more than humans.

Angua watched with half-frustration, half-bewildered. Why wouldn’t they just say it, either of them? There had been eyewitnesses. Vetinari had stabbed Drumknott.
So much loyalty, she thought. What kind of man inspires this?

Summary
As usual, the meeting had begun at three o'clock precisely, and he had reasonably assumed that it would have ended by ten to six. The agenda was short and the motions raised had previously progressed without arguments. It was now, by his watch, quarter past nine. The guild leaders were still arguing about the first motion.

The Guild Leaders argue, that's what they're supposed to do, but carrying on one argument for six hours straight? That's going a bit too far even for the most patient of men.Bookmarked by CassandraTheRed

A heatwave has struck Ankh-Morpork, with temperatures higher than most on record. Drumknott in particular is suffering. Fortunately, Vetinari has come up with a solution.Bookmarked by CassandraTheRed

Summary
His Lordship was talking about the mechanisms of wire cheese slicers. His Lordship had in fact been Talking about the mechanisms of wire cheese slicers for most of twenty minutes. Drumknott had not taken in almost any of it.

Lord Vetinari is highly practiced in the art of the tangent. Mr Drumknott is equally proficient in disguising that his mind is wandering.Bookmarked by CassandraTheRed
