Musing pornily as I often do, I have come to wonder how things would go if Jeeves was a hardcore masochist.  Would they be able to work something out, do you think?

I... I have such a hard time with questions like this in Wodehouse fandom, because everything is so goddamn happy all the time. It's the one fandom where I'm not afraid to click links to new fic because I know there's no risk of me spontaneously crying in the middle of public places (looking at you, House fandom).

At the same time, I totally think Jeeves has a masochistic side to him, whether he realizes it or not. But I think it's entirely emotional-- you don't fall in love with someone that oblivious unless you don't mind your emotions getting trampled on. Jeeves, I think, would be into the mind games that are so essential to true masochism. A sincere loss of power, believing himself to be deserving of scorn, etc etc.

I just can't imagine actually writing that fic. Someone else totally should, though.

Yes - I can picture that as plausible (if BDSM can ever be plausible in Jooster). Since Jeeves is so often called on to deal with everyone's troubles, and has to be so responsible all the time, he's a character you can truly imagine getting relief from being controlled for once.
