WHO did I like being hurt and comforting each other yolsaffbridge: you kept talking about it in your books! and then whenever i'd say, "there's a lot of that in SLASH", you'd say it's not the same zelempa: WHEN yolsaffbridge: every book you read! ever! zelempa: WHAT BOOKS yolsaffbridge: you were like, this is what i like: all the emotional arcs. not the plot, just them taking care of each other. i recall it! zelempa: I can't think of a single h/c het couple I have liked. I mean, I liked Frodo and Sam. yolsaffbridge: brideshead? you def. talked about it there zelempa: THEY ARE GAY yolsaffbridge: yeah, i KNOW, but not EXPLICITLY. that would count as gen zelempa: pre-slash yolsaffbridge: you liked h/c gen! zelempa: wow.
