give_satisfactionAs nowadays time is meaningless ("It's Blursday!) now seems right for time travel prompts!
darenotspeakitsname set up a Time Travel/Worldbuilding post which is worth taking a look at. For now, here are three prompts:
Prompt: older!Jeeves/Bertie:
"Bertie ends up in the future where he finds a heartbroken, older Jeeves who hasn't spoken to "his" Mr Wooster since he failed to prevent his former master's marriage many years ago. Bertie is shocked to find out that older Jeeves never loved anyone but Bertie, but never dared to confess his feelings. Bertie knows his feelings would have been returned.
I would not mind older!Jeeves' looks based on Mr Fry's. Not at all. <3"
Prompt: Groundhog Day
"Time loop! Bertie confesses his love to Jeeves but things go terribly wrong. The next day Bertie finds himself reliving that day and at first is glad that Jeeves does not remember but then Bertie wants to try again..."
Prompt: Flashbacks
"A flashback scene in the style of LOST that shows us that Jeeves and Bertie have met before Jeeves became Bertie's valet without them remembering it.
I'd love to see different takes on this. It could be a simple, short scene. It does not have to be a moment of any importance in their lives. Maybe they did not even talk to or look at each other and just were in the same place at the same time and we see what each of them did. The fun of it is knowing it's them and that later they will play an important role in one another's life."
"Jeeves, I think something might have gone wrong with the transporter."

Rating: Gen
Characters: Jeeves & Bertie
Also for:
Summary: Bertie returns from a excursion via a time-traveling wardrobe.
“Jeeves! How long have I been gone?”
“Seven minutes, sir. I confess confusion at your sudden absence. You gave no indication you were leaving the residence.”
“I gave no indication because I had no indication. I dug into the wardrobe in search of my green homburg and suddenly found myself somewhere else! Or more precisely somewhen else!”
“Sir?”
“Believe me or believe me not, but I somehow wandered about a hundred years into the future!”
Jeeves opened the door of the wardrobe and peered inside.
“And would you believe it, I got my own show on what passes for the wireless. Except they can see you, too. They’re gaga about the way I talk. People pay money, ridiculous sums, to have me read the newspaper, well, it isn’t paper, exactly, and tell them what I think. I had hundreds of thousands of followers on, what’s the word, the You tube and the Instant gram. I was what they call an influencer. But I had to return.”
“Why, sir?”
“For a good reason. There are virtually no gentlemen’s personal gentlemen in the future, Jeeves, and I simply couldn’t do with you.”
“Next time, sir, we shall look for the homburg together.”
