gentleman/gentleman's gentleman

*goofy grin* Yeah, that's a dynamic I'm particularly fond of. I'm slowly reading Jeeves&Wooster - I don't find it overly slashy myself, but it's still really fun to read.

not slashy, really? well, i didn't read that book, but carry on, jeeves was quite slashy. at one point he explicity compares his feelings to those of a husband when a wife has him wrapped round her finger. but the rest is full of little bits of affection for how wonderful jeeves is, and these remarks about swellings of profound affection and whatnot, and how the first sign a girl is after him is always her contracting a dislike for jeeves. and then the last story alone is jeeves's pov, and it he fears wooster is going to get married and schemes to make sure he doesn't want to after all.

Stop! You're making me gooey!

the only one I've read all the way through was "The Mating Season", I'm picking my way through CotW (I almost typed CotB, heh), but I have like 15 different books on the go right now, which is kind of unusual for me. It's slashy in the sense that Bertie not only never evinces any interest in the fairer sex but actually actively tries to avoid marriage for himself even though he's perfectly happy to fix other people up. I haven't read the one where Jeeves schemes to make sure Bertie doesn't get married, but that does sound more slashy. I guess I was just kind of expecting more schmoopiness or UST or something.

Also, I think I'm comparing it in my head to a wonderfully UST-ey novel I read when I was in high school that I will forever kick myself for forgetting the name and author of - I think it was a murder mystery told from the gent's-gent's point of view and I think there might have been a character named Aubrey, and that's totally all I remember, my bad.

Innit groovy? It's Frank Smith from one of Sharon's batshit Dragnet comics: http://www.journalfen.net/users/romana/5063.html

(This one is teenage Joe Friday and a nun, also by Sharon.)

They're weird. Sometimes they're slashier than penguins adopting a rock, and sometimes not so much. Yay for that!
