Indeed, Sir

I used to frequent this comm on-and-off-again under the username polly_oliver, if anyone remembers that (it's been several years so probably not - I was mostly a commenter rather than a contributor). Revisiting because I've been reading too much darkfic in the most recent fandom to stage a coup in my psyche. Jooster fic is almost invariably good-hearted and funny, like its source material, and I thought it would be the perfect tonic. (I was correct. Thanks guys. ^_^)

Anyway, I remembered a burning desire I'd had years ago in my Wodehouse era, which is that I'd wanted to see Bertie and Jeeves deal with the problem of their professional relationship after moving past the "mutual pining" stage or what-have-you. They do go over it in some fics, but the discussion generally sails pretty smoothly by, and I'd really like to see Bertie get a bit stroppy about it, in a "no but seriously I can't be your employer if we're carrying on, but I can't dismiss you either, what do you mean it doesn't bother you, it should bother you, how do you know I won't abuse my position, why are you smirking at me like that" &c. It's a thorny issue and I'd really like to read Jeeves' take on it, especially if he's somewhat ambivalent about it in theory but not in practice (because who are we kidding, Bertie can be thoughtlessly selfish but he's not cruel).

This prompt got a bit more specific than I was aiming for. I guess if anything about it strikes your fancy, I'm letting you know there's an audience of at least one for your take on it. :D

Or if you can remind me of the fics that already deal with this theme I would love that too. Many thanks!

(Also: hi again! I love this comm, I love its members, I love that it's still running, I love that it's survived the decline of LJ, I love the whole world, and all its gentlemen's personal gentlemen, boom de yada boom de yada, boom de yada boom de yada...)
