[meme] most wanted

Darrow's Most Wanted list is a constant work in progress, and one which isn't complete at present. This meme is your opportunity to add to it in a more detailed manner.

Comment to this post with the names and canons of characters you would especially like to see in the City. Whether you're simply listing or you're posting extensive essays complete with pictorial evidence (gifs) of why these characters need to be apped, anything goes. The more, the merrier!

Jamie Beaufort-Stuart - Code Name Verity/The Pearl Thief [Spoilers Aplenty]

[personal profile] callmekittyhawk 2019-03-19 07:42 am (UTC)(link)
Where Julie and Maddie are certainly the twin protagonists of Code Name Verity, and Julie the undeniable central character in The Pearl Thief, Jamie Beaufort-Stuart is criminally underappreciated.

If not for the war, Jamie might've ended up a civil engineer or some other expert dealing with irrigation and plumbing. With the war? Jamie became a pilot. Even after his plane went down and he lost his co-pilot, along with his toes and several of his fingers to frostbite, Jamie leapt at the chance to get back into the skies. With a recommendation from Maddie (along with the name of a certain intelligence agent who would do the official recruitment) he became a pilot for the SOE and was absolutely brilliant.

Jamie's an absolute sweetheart. When he'd thought himself grounded for the rest of the war, he threw himself into watching over a whole pack of little boys at Castle Craig and ensuring that they were well-fed and cared for. And when he flew behind enemy lines to retrieve Maddie and his sister, he nearly ended up brawling with a Resistance agent about twice his size because the man decided to disrespect a woman in front of him.

It's really no wonder Maddie fell in love with him and marries him before the war's over.

As you should!

He's so soft and lovely (and ready to fight a creeper at a drop of a hat).

I'm not calling you a list but...'enough?'

Remember the time he wanted to fight a Resistance agent twice his size?

Or that time he gave Maddie her boots to keep her feet warm? Was that or was that not the most romantic thing you've ever read?

You know very well that that was the most romantic thing anyone has ever read.

Forget Shakespeare and his sonnets, Jamie wants to see that her feet are toasty warm in a warzone.

Oh gods and its so much more important when you remember how he suffered because of frostbite.
