This is, quite possibly, the most amazing thing I've read for a long, long while. You have the characterization down pat, IMO. My love for your writing knows no bounds :-)
I do love your Vetinari fics. I have only recently been reading the novels and the Patrician has always been one of my favorites because despite his loose morals, he is my vision of the ideal ruler. Not one that is kind, but one who could ensure that a city runs and runs well and is mostly moral. Also, I have a weakness for omnipotent, snarky men in black. But what you have done is that you have kept that wonderful character Terry Pratchett created and made him into a man. Not easily done, and you have succeeded perfectly. While I love his character, I love even more when he is flustered or when he loses control because that means that the situation is extremely important. And I loved that even when goaded, he managed to keep control. You write beautifully, and i hope you will write more Discworld fics soon, and also update the Stealing Harry universe. I, like many of your reviewers, wish that was canon.
This was an amazingly satisfying read. I can't believe you managed to make a romantic Vetinari (or as romantic as he gets anyway) so damn... compelling. Magnificent work!
