I'm just as bad at starting plots! Pretty much all I have is death showing up for Vetinari because it's Vetinari's time to be dead, and Vetinari's all "one moment let me finish a thing first."

Actually let me just quote at you the entirety of what I have written in the file, ending note to self and all:



For reasons that don't need exploring at this juncture, Discworld's Death was on vacation and a replacement was borrowed from a different dimension. The new Death was... different. Not skeletal, didn't carry a scythe, very sparkly, had a tendency to get attached to mortals. -- Er. More attached to mortals.

This could go poorly for the mortal in question.

It could also go poorly for Death.

Vetinari looked up from his paperwork with a mild expression which didn't change at the sight of Death's cheekbones. "Oh, " he said, "do take a seat. I should be finished here soon."

Then he turned back to his desk and seemed to entirely forget Death was in the room.

Death was not used to this kind of treatment. He was fascinated. "It's time, mortal," he said -- but without looking up Vetinari simply raised a bony finger. One moment.



Pretty sure this needs to turn into some kind of caper where Death is dragged along in figuring out a Dastardly Plot with Vetinari, and the fic ends with Vetinari still not dead and Death utterly confused about everything that just happened.
