And then there's crossovers to avert character death... but I'm getting off topic..."

"Yeah, but I don't spend my time reading crossover slash. That's just...ew. I'm not even getting into that argument right now, though, so... "
"That's not fair. I don't just do M/M pairings. I also like some het and teamfic. And my OTP isn't slashy."
"Yeah, well, stop claiming that every ship I like is AU and I'll put some gen drabbles in your stocking. How's that?"
