Soulmates
The Ultimate Guide to Relationships.

The Slash Page.

Slashers are just as devoted as 'Shippers. On this page appear couples who may have already appeared in other pages of Soulmates from the gen perspective. That's fine. Canon is rarely supportive of slash couples, resulting in mountainloads of analysis, discussion, fan fic and quite a few "Romantics Associations". Enjoy.

(I'm looking for a lot more information and a lot more couples for this page - can you help? I've had to "guess" quite a few based upon past suggestions so if I've got it wrong, tell me. And if I've missed your favourite slashy couple then let me know!)

Thin Line

Jim Ellison and Blair Sandburg

The Sentinel
So close...  Kiss him, dammit!

Let's face it: the majority of Sentinel fans believe they were more than friends (or that they should have been). The actors themselves seemed to advocate the relationship. And the blooper reels...!
TS is famous for the interaction between Jim and Blair. They live together. Jim constantly touches his guide. They share a deep friendship. In a strange dream, their spirit guides merged. SUBTEXT!
A picture of them, looking cute. :)
You can't go past The Gallery of Smarm for some wonderful pics. 852 Prospect has all the fanfic you'll ever need. Visit the The Sandburg/Ellison Romantics Association for a smile.

Thin Line

Lex Luthor and Clark Kent

Smallville

The 'gayest look ever' according to MBTV.

The new thing sweeping fandom, and with good reason, because Lex is the master of sexy looks. Not to mention CHEMISTRY! And when you look at Clark and Lex - how they met, who they are, what they become - it's a universe ripe with history and brimming with the tragedy we know is coming.
But for now - Clark Kent and Lex Luthor, friends? Clark saving Lex's life and giving him mouth-to-mouth, a typical slasher's dream, and we saw it in the first episode. Not to mention the dialogue: "We have a future together...." It's wonderful stuff and I so hope the producers don't screw it up.

Thin Line

Alex Krycek and Fox Mulder

The X-Files
Mulder and Krycek giving each other a look.
This relationship seems to consist of torture but people still love it. And it can't be denied that there wasn't something between Mulder and Krycek. They've had ample opportunity to kill each other yet never did. And who could ever forget that look in "Tunguska"? Not to mention the Kiss!

Thin Line

Benton Fraser and Stanley Raymond Kowalski (Ray)

due South
Ray and Fraser

Happily ever after, anyone? *g* Not to mention quasi-support from an actor in the form of innuendo, and all the wonderful slashy dialogue you would ever need. Fraser asking Ray out. Ray asking Fraser if he found him attractive. Fraser instantly responding that he loved Ray, "And I you". Mouth-to-mouth. Punches and angst and then smiles, just like a real relationship. ("They're so married!" one person said.) And of course, the perfect ending and even more slashy dialogue: "If you'll have me", before travelling off together on an "adventure" together, chasing the sunrise.
This couple sparkles onscreen together, and it's a shame that the fandom has factions due to RayK versus RayV.
Nonetheless, of all the couples listed on this page, Fraser and Ray had one of the most hopeful endings and it was magic to watch them together.

Thin Line

Obi-Wan Kenobi and Qui-Gon Jinn

STAR WARS
Qui-Gon and Obi-Wan, my favourite Jedi
The opening scenes of The Phantom Menace demonstrate this pair working together perfectly, echoing each other's movements, showing signs of a team who've been together for a long time. Mind-linked? Possibly.
Yet it is the final scene of the film which made slashers sit up and take note. The Touch. 'Nuff said.

The summer of 1999 was well known in slash circles as the Star Wars summer as people fled their home fandoms to begin to write about 2 gorgeous Jedi boyz. ;)
The Master Apprentice Archive has over 2000 stories about them. For gorgeous artwork, visit The Lair (Gayle's work) and there's some great fanfic as well..

ThinLine

Kirk and Spock

Star Trek
THAT Scene.  Sniff.
Kirk and Spock - no slash page would be complete without the couple that started it all, even the terminology. K/S have been slashed since the 1970's and with good reason arising from so much onscreen evidence. They seem married to their jobs, or the Enterprise, but the films allow the possibility of Kirk and Spock being involved to a greater depth than what we see onscreen.
"Star Trek II" broke hearts when Spock died and Kirk's shattered reaction was so powerful. He then proceeded to throw away his career and his ship to get Spock back. Nothing says love like that. :) And just watch the films focussed on them sometime - every film has an extremely slashy moment (hand holding! Looks. Touches and constant companionship, declarations and familiarity.)

Much fanfic and even some profic speaks of a mind-link between the two. I highly recommend the original version of "Killing Time" (1985) which says everything but....

Killa's Fanfic will take your breath away.

ThinLine

Xena and Gabrielle

Xena: Warrior Princess
The infamous dance.
Why is it that women are allowed to say "I love you" and kiss onscreen? The relationship between Gabrielle, from sweet beginnings in friendship, is is beautiful, and romantic. They have taught each other so much. This is the show where the subtext has ceased to become subtext, with speculation and innuendo almost openly encouraged. And the musical epsisode -oh- that was one of the most romantic thiings I have ever seen!
"Fallen Angel", where the spiritual forms of Xena and Gabby continued to be together "for eternity" was another absolutely wonderful relationshippy episode which brought a huge smile to many fans' faces. Xena and Gabrielle's relationship is probably the closest to an onscreen acknowledgement slash fans will get. They are definite soulmates.
How will it end?

ThinLine

Colonel Jack O'Neill and Daniel Jackson

Stargate:SG-1
Jack and Daniel.  Oooeee.
A relationship often compared with (or crossed over with!) Jim and Blair from The Sentinel, Jack and Daniel are another example of opposites attract. The military colonel and the archaeologist. Two different worlds and two different worldviews, yet somehow they became devoted friends. Their experiences (involving deaths and Danny Whumping!) serve to bind them even closer.
Key moments include hugs and the famous "Space monkey" endearment, "Need", oh-so-cute arguments and apologies, and despite much angst in early season 4, this was remedied by a glasses-scene, and "The Light" which finally seemed to fix up the mess left by "Shades of Grey" in which Jack harshly rejected Daniel's friendship and spawned a thousand fanfics.

Loius and Lestat

The Vampire Chronicles
Louis and Lestat
Ever since Lestat made Louis into what he is, a vampire, an immortal, they have been inexplicably drawn to each other. No matter what wars rage between them, what hurts arise, Loius always returns to Lestat. A strange relationship - they are lovers in a vampiric sense - but more than that, they are bonded forever.

Chris Keller and Tobias Beecher

Oz
Keller and Beecher
Who says you can't find true love in prison? The tentative, volatile, and seductive romance that bloomed between a meek, emotionally scarred, married lawyer named Tobias Beecher and the ultrabutch convicted murderer Christopher Keller has
fascinated, delighted, and left more than a few fans in a puddle on the floor. Despite being incarcerated in a maximum security
prison, this canon slash couple have tried to forge something stronger with their delicate and complicated relationship. And
through the vicious fights, angry accusations, and bone-breaking betrayals, neither can deny they truely love each other.

ThinLine

Stuart and Vincent

Queer as Folk

Such an adorable relationship that almost redefined UST. Vince had been in love with Stuart all of his life, but never acted upon it because of the agreement between Stuart and Vince that they were best friends and nothing would get in the way of that. Yet when Vince finally entered a serious relationship, it was Stuart who was jealous, but realised that he only wanted the best for Vince. Through careful suggestion, Vince realised that he belonged with Stuart rather than anyone else, and the first series ended with them happily dancing together.
Series 2. And the agonising night-together that never was. ARGH! So close, yet so far, and these two were kept apart by their own hesitation until Vince finally quit everything else and went after Stuart who was leaving forever. The pair was last seen travelling together across the states, with every rumour about them being true. ;)

Constable Benton Fraser and Detective Ray Vecchio

Due South
Benny and Ray
The first due South relationship that got fans hooked. Benny and Ray would do anything for each other, and had such cute dialogue and moments together - such as Benny dressed as a woman and then dancing together. :) Not to mention time spent in the closet! And there were some wonderful near-declarations after two years of partnership.
Unfortunately, due to television politics, this couple was split up and both found a new partner: Fraser in the form of the new Ray, and Ray in the form of the new Ray's ex-wife. Confused, anyone? Still, Benny and Ray remained good friends with a bond that can never be forgotton.

Duncan MacCleod and Methos

Highlander
Duncan and Methos
Methos, the Oldest Living Immortal, could have almost anything.  Yet he maintains an unusual interest in Duncan MacCleoud, wanting him to survive the Game.  Their relationship is cute at times (the paint on the nose!) and full of angst at others, such as when Duncan learned of Methos's past.  Not to mention the double-quickening, the likes of which had never been seen.

Besides, Methos always seems at home in Duncan's place, so it seems something's going on...

Frodo Baggins and Samwise Gamgee

Lord of the Rings

Frodo and Sam, literally, go through hell. Frodo has to destroy the Ring, but Sam...what does Sam have to do?
He has to be with Frodo. Sam is the one person that stands by Frodo, helps him on, even carries him on his back when Frodo is too weak to walk. The Ring is destroyed only because of their loyalty. They are perfect soulmates and will always be, even for those who don't believe they were ever involved in a romantic sense.
Least Expected

Mystique and Destiny

Marvel Comics' "X-Men" series

Are they, aren't they? That has been the rumor whispered about super-villainesses extraordinaire, Mystique and her long-time partner in crime, Destiny. What is certain is that Destiny is one of the few people Mystique truly loves -- but does it go deeper than that? It would appear so. Recently, Marvel Comics (which has always coyly skirted around the issue) has mentioned Destiny as Mystique's "lover", apparently finally confirming that they are, indeed, more than just friends.

Thin Line

LaCroix and Nicholas

Forever Night
LaCroix and Nick
There is something inherently sensual about any couple when vampires are involved.
LaCroix and Nicholas have been described as, "Parent/child, master/slave, protagonist/antagonist, friendship, adversarial, sensual and/or sexual." Perhaps the most complex relationship in Forever Night, these two were undeniablly bound to each other.
The Unnamed Faction

ThinLine

Dan and Casey

Sports Night

Dan and Casey have been best friends for who knows how long. They have an anniversary together for cryin’ out loud (Casey forgot it too!). They talk to each other about things know one else on the planet would understand.

ThinLine

Dave Lister and Arnold J. Rimmer

Red Dwarf
Listy and Rimsy in the ultimate position.  ;)
Let me say up front that Red Dwarf is absolutely full of innuendo. Just listen to the dialogue sometime. "...when I tried to insert this guitar in you..." Um, excuse me?!

The show is based around Lister and Rimmer who, despite having an entire ship to themselves, still share the same room. They pretend they can't stand each other but are together all the time. They lust after women (although there are none left alive) but seem like two schoolboys sniggering at something they don't understand and never will. Why? They have each other! They even kissed in one of the most classic RD scenes ever and fans keep hoping for a repeat. Not to mention the heartbreaking scene where Rimmer#1 left...and it was Lister who convinced Rimmer#2 to come with them.

ThinLine

Angel and Wesley

Buffy, the Vampire Slayer/Angel

Angel, looking happily at Wes.

Cuteness and UST abounds. ;) Not to mention the scene where Wesley had Angel in chains. [More info, pics needed!]  They seemed to have an intense relationship until Angel went temporarily Dark, and from there Wes found a new relationship.  Angel was left to look back with regret and jealousy...but the boys are still wonderful friends. 

ThinLine

Mac and Vic

Once a Thief

They met over boquets of roses, and were soon rolling around the floor together. And then again later, accompanied by heavy breathing. And a third time, wrapped together in swinging ropes as they got into the most ludicrous and "Hmmm!" positions.
So they hated each other at first. So they both loved the same woman. So what? It was each other they spent the most time with, and (review pending....)

Thin Line
Darla and Drusilla

Angel
Darla and Dru

Evil, pure evil, or so they seem, and they have the erotic-vampire relationship down to a T.  After all they've shared, the fact that only the two of them remained together out of the 'family of four' and you begin to realise that these are the ones with the lasting bond.
