Well, were, before the bad times happened.

Fic labels tend to be, at best, vague. IME.
Lorne: Take care of yourself and ah, make sure fluffy is getting enough love. Gunn: Did he have anything? Fred: No. And who's fluffy? Are you fluffy? Gunn: He called me fluffy? Fred: He said make sure…wait. You don't think he was referring to anything of mine that's fluffy, do you? Because that would just be inappropriate.

Bob's learned to live with tragedy, but he knows that this tragedy is one that won't ever leave him or get better.

Because books.
They're a canonical same-sex relationship.
See, that's where the "non-canonical" confused me. I knew they had been involved -- osmosis, I guess, since I don't watch. Clearly, I should, though.

Days shrink and grow cold, sunlight through leaves is my song. Winter is long.
Someone explain "bob" to me, please.

Bob? In what context?

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.
Oh, what I meant is how does one label a Demian/Barnes fic, for instance? It's not slash by my eye, but it's hardly het. Just gay.

I'm so confused. Who are they? And they're both gay canonically?
I should just go take more meds and go to sleep, probably.

Fic is sometimes labeled "bob". I dunno why. You got your slash, femslash, het, gen, and bob.
If the focus of the fic is about Demian and Barnes' relationship set in the SPN'verse, it's slash. If Demian and Barnes, though gay, are characters in a casefile fic, it's gen. If Nick and Nora Charles are in a casefile fic, it's gen. If Nick and Nora Charles are in a steamy het romance, it's het. If Nora and random other chick fall in lust in the SPN'verse and there's a story focused on their relationship with a casefile as background, it's femslash.
Then there's genderswitch, kink, yadda. I'm still very unclear on bob, though.

A story that might incidentally contain relationships or sexual situations but isn't a romance or focused on a pairing.

Demian and Barnes are the gay LARPers from The Real Ghostbusters.

Ah, so I got my gen definitions wrong, then, because I was actually describing bob? So then gen is totally casefile focused?
