Summary
Vimes is retiring, but Vetinari has a surprise of his own up his sleeve.
For the Tumblr kiss prompt "...good morning" kindly submitted by helenvader. As can be seen from the tags, we got a bit further than kissing; I hope no one minds too much.

Summary
Esme Weatherwax sat up and stared at him. Vimes had thought Vetinari had a penetrating gaze, but it was like being stabbed with a toothpick in comparison to the look the woman was giving him.He’d never felt so naked with all his clothes on.
“Erm. I’m…” he started, hesitantly.
“I knows who you are, Mister Vimes.” The witch scowled. “I ain’t sure why you’re in my bedroom, mind.”
During a diplomatic visit to Lancre with Vetinari, Vimes gets dragged into solving a murder.
It turns out they do things differently in the country, and the local equivalents of the law aren't too thrilled to have a copper from the city interfering...
I wanted Vimes to meet Granny et al., so this is a case fic guest starring the witches.

Summary
“What exactly are you doing, Sergeant?” Havelock asked, mildly.
The eyes opened, and Havelock was looking into pupils so dilated that the deep brown irises encircling them were almost invisible.
“You sure you don’t need payin’ for earlier?”
Ah.
A young Havelock Vetinari is completing his final exam with the guild, when he comes across a drunk young sergeant in a gutter in the Shades and decides to offer some assistance.
Unfortunately, this is Ankh-Morpork, where no good deed goes unpunished.

Summary
His mind went completely blank. He was dimly aware of Vetinari reeling off his full list of titles in further introduction, and of the woman responding in kind, but Vimes’ own personal universe had shrunk to the size of five fingertips grazing the back of his hip.
A series of little vignettes in which Samuel Vimes comes to realise he's in love with Havelock Vetinari.
Vetinari, of course, already knows.
Basically an excuse to play with a few fluffy romance tropes, as a palate cleanser from all the angst I've been putting out.

Summary
Vimes scowled. Vetinari noticed and continued, mildly, “I would remind you, Vimes, that we have agreed it is best that this remains a clandestine affair, given the situation.”
“I know.”
“A fact that does make blackmail a possibility.”
“I know.”
“And yet, Commander, you are still attempting to disrobe me in a public area.”
“Attempting being the operative word there, sir. Could you give me a hand, do you think? This button's stuck.”
Vimes and Vetinari have been attempting to balance their secret relationship with the running of the city. But now it seems their secret is out, and as the people they care for are threatened, painful choices are needed.
Sequel to Balancing Act and Leverage, although can be read straight after Balancing Act if you want and will still make sense.
M rating is for smut in Chapter 1.

- Part 3 of Balancing Act Series

Summary
“Cede the city to us. Tell your people to stop fighting, and we will spare you.”
Vimes considers it. It would probably be the diplomatic thing to do.
But the blood has reached his knees now, and it is still warm, and he never was much of a diplomat.
“Go to hell.”
The city is under seige, and Vetinari and Vimes face the end of something that never really started.
I don't think I can emphasise enough to read the tags; this does not have a happy ending.

Summary
Vetinari meets Granny and Nanny Ogg at the opera; they talk about family, burning buildings, and Carrot and Oyster Pie.
Slightly canon divergent missing scene from Maskerade.

Summary
One evening Vimes walks in and finds Vetinari in his parlour. Sybil makes herself scarce. Smut ensues.
Basically two thousand words of smut wrapped in five thousand words of repressed feelings and snarky banter.
Technically set after my fic Instinct, but probably works fine as a standalone; I think I've given enough background to provide sufficient context for all the sex.

Summary
Vimes’ eyes narrowed. “'You will agree...'?! Is this you consenting to stay arrested…?!”
“I thought it might help.” Vetinari looked at the colour rising in the other man's cheeks. “I see that it did not.”
Flirty banter! Handcuffs! Vimes questioning his life choices!Vimes and Vetinari are in a clandestine relationship, which makes things difficult when Vimes has to investigate him during the events of The Truth.

Summary
The Patrician and Vimes visit the Vetinari wing of the local hospital.
Someone on Tumblr wondered what Vetinari would make of all the random people who believe they're him, so I wrote this silly little piece on there and now I'm putting it on here.

Summary
Captain Sam Vimes is getting married...until he isn't.
Vetinari vaguely alludes to Having Feelings, and Vimes self destructs.
Spoilers for Men at Arms, although it diverges somewhere in the middle; this is essentially an exploration of what might happen if Vetinari realised he had feelings for Vimes in the run up to the wedding. There's angst, and Vimes whump, and miscommunication, and probably a million other tropes.
