Slash. With two male characters not established as a cannon couple or openly stated to be gay, merely treated in the sense of shipping two characters that happen to be the same gender.

You, admittedly, don't like it, and I have a sort of fascination with how writers who are not particularly interested in a certain type of fiction would handle that genre- what exactly about it do they dislike and what would they alter to both stay true to their ideas and the essence of the original idea. How you would write slash is something I've admittedly spent an inordinate amount of time thinking about.
