And lots of pistol-shooting, directed randomly, if we're lucky, at the ceiling.
Going by what happened in Torchwood, George would be pretty shocked by what might happen if he hit Jack...!
I'm sure most slash writers would say that when they slash a character, it's because they perceive them as gay or bi in the source material - or at least potentially gay or bi - and this of course is highly subjective.
What I find rather sad - whatever the sexes and orientation of the characters - is that so many fic-writers can't accept characters being close friends without sexualising the relationship: it's as if they're devaluing the whole idea of friendship, that a relationship isn't important unless it involves sex.
