It's hard to define something by a partial and possibly temporary, even if longstanding, absence.
I FEEL THIS SO HARD GODDAMN.
Glee fandom, for mysterious reasons, had a rash of Kurt/Blaine student/teacher fic that complicated the dynamic by throwing in -- heesh, I can't even remember the fannish shorthand for it -- the biologically determined D/s + soulbond trope?
Like, 18yo student is a sub who's been masquerading as a dom for social reasons, but Biology Will Out, and he's hit a crisis point and is about to go into cardiac arrest unless somebody Marks him, and Oh Noes, it's after band practice and everyone else has left and Teacher is the only dom in the building who can Complete the Task!
Or, freshly hired young History Prof has the name of his dom + soulmate on his wrist. Guess who's in the front row of his history seminar?
Some of them were pretty great, and I enjoyed thinking about the creative variations even when the execution was iffy.
