I am perplexed, because in my view it's the least slashable -- or pairable -- anything I've seen in years... but if you're thinking about fandom-at-large, I suppose I can't disagree; it's just that almost none of it works for me personally, and what little does work, most of it requires even more specific interpretations than is usual for me in order for it to work. (Kind of like Yami no Matsuei, where even though my favorite pairing is probably the most popular in the fandom, I can't stomach most of the stories -- only more so, and in a different way.) After we passed a certain point in the game, most of my discussions with Andrea or anyone else about pairings turned into '...no. Well, ok, maybe like this, but otherwise? Um, no.'

But I do see where it would push other people's buttons. My brain just doesn't bend that way this time.
