I hear ya. The internet recently discovered my favorite book and all it is are endless longing looks between the stuffy upperclass man and the insecure black nerd-guy. Either that or just skipping the longing glances and going straight to the fucking. Despite both of them in canon having het sexual interests (former with the maid, and the latter with a different girl each book). In a set of books with limitless potential for adventures, the nascent fandom never gets out the bedroom. Or occasionally the lounge.
