Touya/Yukito is an interesting pairing in that many fans are willing to accept it - even those who usually despise yaoi. Recently, I watched a friend (a rabid het shipper) post the 100 words meme, adding she didn't do yaoi - except for Touya/Yukito.

Touya and Yuikito - they're like Haruka/Michiru, Zoicite/Kunzite, and Utena/Anthy in a way. Same-sex pairings that, normally, not even anti-slash shippers dare to touch.

Except...

Yukito is so sweet that it's impossible to dislike him..

Male CLAMP fans and CLAMP bashers *loathe* Yukito. *Because* he's so sweet. Sad, sad...

Anyway, excellent essay (as good as your TezukaxFuji one), and GREAT fic recs.
