Another sweet one from this author (and some darling illustrations to go with it). She manages to create beguiling and lively characters with economy and cleverness, and while the plot is on the slightly fantastical side (rather fairy tale like), I loved the descriptions of the devices and ideas, the fact that both characters surprised me at times with their reactions. It’s funny, and a jolly nice romance. Highly recommended.

normally I'm not too fond of the more yaoi-style original fic because the characters aren't strong enough for me. However, for this story I'll make an exception! Jennings is an inventor, both his creations and himself a puzzle that intrigues Frederick sufficiently that he plans to burgle him next. Or at least that's the original intention... m/m.
