I'm thinking of the popularity of Cox/JD in Scrubs, or Gibbs/Dinozzo in NCIS. I find the appeal of this dynamic inexplicable, but clearly tons of people love to read it.
Oh, yeah. I'm not sure I'd call that SS, but it's on some kind of continuum with it, probably (this is why Drem and Blai in Warrior Scarlet bug me). I used to like Cox/JD, but I am not sure I would now.
There's definitely potential in a number of Sutcliff novels for SS as the hurt and a separate comfort with a different character. Knight's Fee and Outcast in particular....
SS!Flavia...would be incredibly depressing, although I'm actually not sure that what little we see in canon of her Saxon husband would even fit that.
