FANDOM: Saki's Short Stories
FIC LINK: The Feather in his Cap
AUTHOR LINK: parhelion
RATING/WARNING(S): General, no content notes apply
WIP?/WORD COUNT: 1586
MAIN CHARACTERS: Clovis Sangrail

FIC SUMMARY: While on Home Leave, Clovis indulges in Christmas

RECCER'S NOTES: No one has a pen quite as sharp (and possibly slightly poisoned) as Saki, and the author captures the tone perfectly. This is a delightful, satirical story that shows you Clovis at his devastating best. No canon knowledge needed, just a taste for Edwardian satire.

This was great! Thanks for the rec. I think the "no canon knowledge needed" is my favourite tag here, haha ♥

I love Saki's short stories very much, and digging this fic out of my bookmarks prompted me to go and read them again. I am thinking about requesting them for Yuletide this year, just to get more delicious Edwardian snark.

I also love the 'no canon knowledge needed' tag. I have sometimes stumbled into beautiful new canons thanks to its seductive ways.

Saki is the epitome of fun (and a few other, less savoury, abstract nouns)
