Canon: Nero Wolfe
Pairing: Fritz Brenner/Saul Panzer
Canon Level: They Know Each Other and Have No Ill Will Towards Each Other
As much as I love Archie/Wolfe, I will stand by my belief that Saul and Fritz are perfect for each even if I am standing all by my lonesome. Both Fritz and Saul are on the periphery of Archie's stories, an essential piece but never the focus. I think that suits them well because neither would want the spotlight if offered. They're not flashy like Archie or dramatic like Wolfe; they're both masters at their skill sets, but they prefer to get on with things without calling attention to themselves. They're wonderfully suited for each other because their way of approaching their lives is so very similar, for all that cooking and detecting are two very different skill sets. Fritz is already used to the detective lifestyle and the danger inherent in it, so that wouldn't be as much of a deterrent as it might be for others. They already respect each other, and I just feel like they have to have some sort of relationship that we never get to see because the stories are told by Archie and Archie isn't involved in whatever is between them. But they've been in the same social circle for too long for me to not believe that they understand each other and are friends.
