Master/servant slash

[princesshannah4.livejournal.com]

So I think it's safe to say that this fandom has warped any and all master/servant relationships in fiction for me (not that I have a problem with that ;D). That established, I was just a little nervous about reading/seeing Comedy of Errors this past week because it has TWO master/servant pairs and a housemate that I have a crush on was playing one of the two servants. This could have ventured into RPS. However, the actual performance seemed to justify my suspicions of Syracusian bromance. Antipholus and Dromio did a CONSIDERABLE amount of touching and clinging to each other and giving meaningful looks.

But what I'm really getting as is, do you guys see master/servant relationships as automatic potential for slash, or do the undertones from Jooster just bleed over into other fandoms? Just curious.

Discuss.

It depends of the characters and the relationship they have if I see it slashable or not. J&W def. is s.(my very first same-sex OTP, in fact) and so is that Love Boat thing, in which Jeremy Brett played valet to some younger man, a member of the crew (can be found in the youtube with words Jeremy Brett Love Boat). Sooooooo cute and funny. I have watched Upstairs, Downstairs some time now, but though I love Hudson, I don't pair him with the master of the house or with a man at all.
