1920s TWW Jeeves & Phryne?

This is a 1920s-ish Worst Witch AU crossover with the Jeeves and Wooster stories (particularly the tv version of them) and with Miss Fisher’s Murder Mysteries. There’s a couple of different plotlines - Bertie and Jeeves know all the teachers and Bertie hasn’t twigged to the fact that Ada and Hecate have feelings for each other, though Jeeves of course has. Mr. Rowan-Webb meets Gussie and they bond over shared love of amphibians and possibly Mr. Rowan-Webb helps Gussie make slightly better decisions. Dimity teaches dance and Hecate is shocked by 20s fashion and dances. (Gwen of course loves them and throws her support in, and Ada thinks it’s a great idea so Hecate is outnumbered) Phryne and Ada had a thing that didn’t work out but they remained friends, albeit long-distance ones, and Phryne runs into Hecate and Ada in a tearoom one day, flirts a little with Ada just on principal, realizes Hecate has feelings for Ada, and generally outrages Hecate’s sense of propriety. (I just realized Julie isn’t specifically in this story yet and she definitely should be).

Snippet! Have a drafty bit of Gussie and Algie chatting:

“But life would be so much simpler if we were newts!” Gussie declaimed. “To have no cares other than those of the simple newt, and to make one’s affection for a member of the opposite sex abundantly clear.”

“I can assure you it would not be as pleasant as you think, Mr. Fink-Nottle, and I can speak from personal experience. Not from being a newt, but through an unfortunate act of perfidy I was a frog for decades.”

To this extraordinary statement Gussie, caught up in the only portion of it that mattered to him exclaimed:

“Then you know how it is, sir! Was your life not infinitely better as an amphibian?”

“Well no,” Algernon replied, much taken aback.
