Bookmarker's Notes
Sakel loads work on Jim like Jim is his TA and has nothing better to do with his life than study the history of Vulcan verbs, translate bits of Surak into Standard, and then, because Sakel's a mean, mean son of a bitch, defend his translation in formal Vulcan. He varies this by making Jim memorize and recite huge chunks of Vulcan poetry, with the correct intonation and accent, and when Jim complains he doesn't actually give a shit about Bugger the son of Clusterfuck the son of Snafu, makes him write an essay about matriarchal lines in Vulcan tradition. (Girls are scary, do not piss them off or you will not reproduce. Jim could have told him that without reading descent lines of psi-talents until his eyes bled, but whatever.)

Summary
Leonard finds it irritating to be stared at by a blue-eyed horse. He's already in a bad mood; the shaking of the cart as it drives over uneven dirt roads is making him nauseated on top of the headache he hasn't been able to get rid of. And the horse, the "Companion," keeps giving sidelong looks at him.

Casual alien aphrodisiacs wreak havoc with Jim's allergies, and to a lesser extent with Spock's distance.
Good rescuing, excellent protectiveness, hot like burning.

Summary
Claud Darracott isn't looking forward to going home for Christmas: for a Dandy like Claud, there's nothing to do in the country, and on top of that, the Darracotts will be a sorry bunch, because his cousin Richmond, in Paris with Wellington's Army of Occupation, has still not returned. Being trapped by a blizzard at a country inn on the way turns out to be a blessing in disguise, when he meets Felix Hethersett. But inviting Hethersett to the family home seems to have been a mistake: something's afoot there, and whatever it is, with the Darracotts, it's bound to be a mess...

Magnificent Heyer-story, note-perfect, with romance, intrigue, wit and slashiness perfectly served.
Also long enough to do one some good. No messing with anyone's previous relationships, either.
Highly recommended.
