Class differences in femslash. Some of my favourite rarefandom pairings, particularly in Shakespeare and opera, feature a lady and her maid. Or think about Gwen/Morgana in Merlin, or Jenny/Madame Vastra in Doctor Who. What are others' experiences with writing or reading class inequalities?

Yes, I agree. I really like a story where there is a power differential that is character-relevant, but I don't like it when it's glossed over or fetishised. I don't like teacher/student for the same reason.
