indeedsir_backupOr did Hugh and Stephen play up Bertie and Jeeves with as much of the slashy subtext as they could? I mean, given that Stephen grew up reading the stories, and he's gay, it seems quite possible to me that he read in the subtext himself, just as we do. And then Hugh obviously doesn't mind flirting with him in the name of comedy, as ABOFAL proved time and time again.
Or are you all going to hit me over the head and yell, "DUH!" ?

Somebody should write thatno subject
Date: 2005-05-01 09:32 am (UTC)Well, if no one else picks up the gauntlet, I just might. I've been dying to write ambiguous Jooster/Fry&Laurie slash. And soon I'll be done with classes and will actually have time to indulge my baser instincts :)

Date: 2005-05-01 09:34 am (UTC)Mmmm baser instincts. Mmmm Jooster. Mmmm the combination.

Date: 2005-05-02 02:10 am (UTC)I am now thinking it would be fun to write a FPS/RPS crossover. Like, Stephen/Jeeves or Hugh/Bertie.

Date: 2005-04-30 10:20 pm (UTC)else, especially. And lovely moments like the end of S2 e4 ("Jeeves in the Country"), where the soundtrack music backs up the slashy subtext... (Bertie: "Does this mean you're back with me now, Jeeves?")no subject

Hallo all - new to the comm and very excited about it. *waves genially to all*

Date: 2005-05-01 09:12 am (UTC)Ah, a fellow observer of ABOF&L slash. Jolly good.
Hugh: Yes, because that's not to imply that we literally
went to bed together, introduced various fleshy
nozzles into each other's warm places and then
gave birth to a pile of paper covered in amusing
sketch material, is it Stephen?
Heh heh heh.

Would that be "shaped like two men lustily fornicating" or "vaguely scythe-like"?

Date: 2005-05-01 09:09 am (UTC)Then, there are certain books I find slashier than the series as well, both from Jeeves' POV...
"I am fond of Mr Wooster, and I admit I came very near to melting as I looked at his face."
"I had no desire to sever a connexion so pleasant in every aspect as his and mine."
"For I may hope, may I not, sir, that you will allow me to remain permanently in your service?"
... as Bertie's....
"I did not care to think what existence would be like without Jeeves."
"Mingled with the ecstacy which the sight of (Jeeves) aroused in my bosom was a certain surprise that he should be acting as
Ganymedecup-bearer.""But, Rocky, old top, it's too bally awful! You've no notion of what I'm going through in this beastly hotel without Jeeves. I must get back to the flat."
And the entire final scene of 'Jeeves and the Tie that Binds' AND 'The Inimitable Jeeves.'

*glomps the both of them* You really can't imagine anybody else BEING Jooster, can you? Gah, they're so perfect.
