It occurs to me...
Aug. 27th, 2011 06:08 pmIf most of these super-subtexty bromance stories had the m/m become canon, people would hate them.
Sherlock Holmes: Sherlock and John, gay lovers, split up so that John can marry a woman. Sherlock's character arc is coming to accept the fact.
X-Men: First Class: After forging an intense bond, Erik and Charles break up. Charles immediately rebounds with the chick from Damages, while Erik takes up with a horrible actress.
Smallville: Clark and Lex break up due to evil. Clark marries a nice girl reporter. Lex remains bitter and alone (and gay).
Supernatural: BROTHERS. FUCKING. Also, of the gay angel pairings, one dies and the other turns into a douchey God.
I'm trying to think of some of the other big slash fandoms, but I don't get USA, so it's hard. (Seriously, that should be called the Bromance Channel.)
