I did an impromptu survey of a friend who watches White Collar, and is aware of the existence of slash but is not an active slasher.

me: what's your opinion of Neal and Peter's relationship?
him: what are my choices: a) gay b) hot c) forbidden d) YES

So... yeah. He also observed that he doesn't think there's authorial intent, and that "they're gay like hobbits are gay."

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.

he doesn't think there's authorial intent, and that "they're gay like hobbits are gay."

Not even directorial intent? Because, dude.

Matt Bomer was tossing around the L-word to Tim before DeKay even auditioned, if memory of the interview Jesse linked to serves.

Perhaps it's just a different estimation of the depth of friendship, but crying, really? Pleading? They have to know the subtext is rapidly subsuming the text.

there were tears. that's some intent right there. I mean, maybe they were trying to show the magnitude of the choice that Neal was making, but they didn't have to go with tears.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.

No, but I did get a hint of Bodyguard. I'm a little ashamed of it, though.

I'm glad I'm not the only one.

Hey, I didn't say I agreed with him! I don't even watch the show (though I am definitely going to start) and I can tell they're in lurve.

"I remember when they eventually introduced that drug kingpin who murdered people and smuggled drugs inside snakes and I was like 'Finally. A normal person.'” —RahvinDragand

I'm skeptical about there not being authorial intent. I think SGA is about as far as you can push slash without the writers being in on it.

We won’t stop until everyone is gay.

Gay like hobbits. Heh.

I'm right there with Perkins on the OT3. I never would have thought I'd be loving a Tiffani Theissen character! But I am!

I know. She and Brian Austin Green have really...surprised me.

"Look, son, if it's good enough for Shirley Bassey, it's good enough for you."

I'm reading the Guardian UK blog covering Mad Man's S3 as it plays there and they just got to the episode where Pete has sex with the au pair (and Don and Betty are in Rome).

And it's funny how Pete's behavior is seen in a different culture, because over here everybody seemed to see it as very clearly rape, over there it's reading as "not quite consensual."

Whereas in Pete's era it was merely a breach of neighborly etiquette.
