Do you perchance have any vetinari/drumknott fic recs

What a great question! I have so many recs and it does depend on what you like in your Vetinari/Drumknott fics. If you haven't found it already Badass Tiger made a Dreamwidth with links to V/D fics from all over. Some links are dead (blog was last updated 2018) but there are some great links to fanfiction.net, LiveJournal, their own drabbles they didn't post else where, but most links are to A03. BadassTiger has one written called Colour that is very short and sweet.

As they haven't updated since 2018 they do not have links to any of DictionaryWrites who is an exceedingly talented writer who now post their own original works. Their Drumknott/Vetinari works are a masterclass and look towards a more mature take on the relationship. Drumknott is more than the rosy clerk and is given a cutting edge that makes sense for the personal clerk to Vetinari, who is more machiavellian. There are very tender moments and though their largest fic about this pair, In Duty, is not completed it is at a good stopping point and is supplemented by the the others stories in their Patrician and Clerk series.

Youtomyme and Ololon, on A03, have my favorite takes on Vetinari/Drumknott. Youtomyme does some great soul mark ones that allow Vetinari and Drumknott to face their feelings due to outside sources that fits them very well as they are both such dedicated professionals in the books. 'All's Fair' is my current favorite in this trope. Ololon is so talented as well and is one of the highest kudos authors on this pair for a reason. 'Three mistakes Drumknott made' is a fic I read over and over again. When I need a nice long fic the 'Seamstresses' Guild Ball' is my go to. I love that one and have commented on it several times. The way they write Vetinari is very believable.

I am not sure if you want explicit some of the ones mentioned above are. Everything has a tag! Even in BadassTigers they include a summary and SFW or NSFW tag next to the link for the most part. Last one I am going to recommend because I really could go all day with these is 'The Self-Publishing Subculture' by Aunt_Zelda. It really scratches my discworld need. It is hilarious, heartwarming and practical. Plus it acknowledges how fanfiction written on Disc might be taken from an administrative POV. I feel I am not selling this well but it is such a good fic.

I hope I didn't recommend to many you may have already read and if you are looking for non romantic Drumknott & Vetinari that still has them very close @cirrus-grey writes several excellent ones.

Thank you for the ask! It is flattering to be asked my favorite recs and there are so many good ones I didn't mention that are very much worth the read. These were top of mind. Let me know which ones you enjoy!!!

Um, you geeked out over my fic Regret, and I stumbled into that discussion about Vetinari growing wings. So, I've written a fic about it, called Angel, first part is out.

Thank you for telling me actually! I visit this app so sporadically these days I miss a lot of stuff 😅.

I read it now and I really love it!

The descriptions are all so beautiful, especially Vetinari’s thoughts slowly driving him mad with every single change to his body. Sam and Sybil comforting him were really lovely to read and the last bit with Drumknott was so sweet 💜💜!

I’ll link it here in case anyone hasn’t seen it: Angel. It’s a lovely fic, I love what you did with the idea and I look forward to see where it’s going <3

"Do you think they have explored each others bodies?"

Oh yeah, but not in any normal sort of way. More like an analytical, purely academic way. Noting every physical trait and oddity so they can tell if one of them has been replaced by a look-alike, because if you're prepared, you don't have to prepare. And no, it isn't paranoia because it has already happened, and now, NOW they are ready for it.
