Hmm. The only other master/servant pair besides Jeeves and Wooster that I ship is from Hellsing, which is possibly the most radically different fandom imaginable. (I ship Alucard/Integra, in case there's any fandom overlap here.) Seriously, vampire manga. The dynamic really isn't the same at all, especially since the main character also has a butler, who is way more like a traditional servant than the character I ended up shipping with his master. I can see that there's an underlying sense of loyalty/dependence in some of these relationships that can easily translate into romance, but sometimes it really doesn't. I'm not sure why. I'm also not sure if any of that made any sense at all.

We should list other fandoms with master/servant pairs and see what we come up with. This is so interesting. : )

Hey, wait...I don't watch Merlin, but would Merlin/Arthur count? I see people talking about that all over LJ now.
