Repetition is not a problem at all. :)

I find that I don't have much more to say than what I said in my original response, to be honest. You're absolutely spot on in the analysis of their relationship--although it does amuse me on some level that Sebastian has to stoop down to a very human plane and act as a servant, doing menial tasks. By no means does that make their relationship at all equal--in fact, it only enhances the illusion that Ciel has more control, which he doesn't--but it's strangely satisfying all the same.

The contract is not fair, equal, or balanced. You could make an argument for it being beautiful in its twistedness, but not in a of romantic way. That's my opinion.

The whole trope of romantic or sexual relationships as inherently being connected to predator-prey dynamics is also worth deconstructing and messing around with, imo, starting with the fact that canon is suggestive with it.

I agree with this wholeheartedly. I've have been writing a series of fics which deal with this aspect in a roundabout manner by making Sebastian and Claude common humans, and the results are both scary and interesting. It's definitely a theme worth pursuing in canon as well.
