Wanna write slash? In any fandom? Here's how!

[jlh]

First, you need to find the two guys who are friends, and one is more the leader than the other. However, they should not have that "Leader/ultra-cool friend who isn't a follower" dynamic of Frankie and Dino or Wyatt Earp and Doc Holliday or Butch and Sundance. They must have a proper Leader/First Lt. vibe. They also should have established relationships with women; don't worry, you can write around that. Okay, got your fellas? Let's go!

• Present tense story from submissive friend's pov


• Dominant friend suddenly wants to fuck and orchestrates it


• Sub secretly loves Dom, so he goes along, likes it, wants more


• Dom always ends it before Sub wants it to end


• Sub is actually in love


• Dom either just messing about or experimenting or having fun before he marries the right girl or fulfills some other family obligation


• Tense parting where nothing is said


• Sub fucks his girl thinking of Dom


• Months later, Sub hears from or runs into Dom


• Sub still with his girl, Dom still with his girl


• Dom reveals, in subtle code that only the two of them can understand, that he loves sub just as much as sub loves dom


• This ambiguous line should be the last line of the fic


• Angst, but perfect love because it never actually becomes a relationship


• fin.

How great is THAT? Everybody wants a lover like that!
