I don't know if you've ever read Sentinel fanfic, but there used to be a genre of the same called "smarm"; I'm not sure if the specialized use of the term ever made it into other fandoms. Smarm had Jim and Blair professing undying nonsexual love and doing all sorts of physical things *but* except sex--hugging, massaging, h/c caretaking, etc.

I preferred the porny slash, myself, preferably with mystical/shamanistic elements.

I've never been in that fandom, but this has been reported to me frequently. It seems unique to you all (although I think I've heard of similar in Due South).

I guess it really was the product of that particular premise--two guys living as well as working together, the younger man training and guiding the older in the use of extraordinary sensory acuity. That and the fact that the actors kept doing things like holding hands and smooching in the gag reels. *g*
