Eh- you don't have to repay me. As I said- I live in the same apartment as the person who runs that thing so I just love giving the link out to people. It really is the only decent ToS archive on the net. It should get more attention. :(
Hrm- I'm halfways glad the Kratos/Lloyd slash fandom disappeared. They were really annoying because they didn't like to be honest about the fact that they liked an incest pairing. They would always write all these essays about sociological factors that would make parent/child sex "okay" and "normal" and "not like incest" at all when really, they just all shipped it because they didn't realize that they were father and son and Zelos hadn't been introduced yet (not the the Zelos/Lloyd fandom is much better *SIGH*).
I don't know if Regal/Presea is still difficult to find, but about two years ago when Dawn and I first played the game there was nothing out there. In fact, most people found it DISGUSTING and claimed it was pedophilia while shipping away Presea/Genis which, uh. Yeah. I think I actually wrote some of the first, if not the first, Regal/Presea fics in the English fandom *that's* how scarce it was. I think there's more of it out there now although I can't attest to it's quality.
The characters are Connor Hawke (http://variable.nine-tales.net/avatars/DC/connor.jpg) and Eddie Fyres (http://variable.nine-tales.net/avatars/DC/eddie2.jpg). They have such an awesome (http://variable.nine-tales.net/imagrey/scans_daily/Ollie/connor%20and%20eddie/sympathy1.jpg) relationship (http://variable.nine-tales.net/imagrey/scans_daily/Ollie/connor%20and%20eddie/sympathy2.jpg) full of adorable, affectionate snark (http://variable.nine-tales.net/imagrey/scans_daily/Ollie/connor%20and%20eddie/Green%20Arrow%20%23112%20-03.jpg) and synchronized ass-kicking and they, like, live together and travel the world together and professional, chain-smoking, dirty-mouthed Eddie went to LIVE IN A MONASTERY for Connor because their love is so true. ♥ ♥ ♥ It's not that their explicitly slashy- it's just that they're not quite like father and son and not quite like mentor and student and not quite like BFF and almost but not really like an odd-couple, buddy cop movie. That many not quites always makes the slash-sirens in my brain go off like woah. Plus, they have random moments like this (http://variable.nine-tales.net/imagrey/scans_daily/Ollie/connor%20and%20eddie/machine.jpg). :P
The fact that this pairing doesn't exist in the fandom could probably be attributed to the fact that they're kind of obscure. Except that the (Green) Arrow family have nearly as much fic as the BATS despite being markedly less popular and Connor himself is a fandom darling. He's also one half of one of the most popular slash pairings in the fandom- Connor/Kyle (Green Lantern IV. Connor and Kyle have worked together in less than ten comics, but Eddie appeared in almost every single issue of Connor's series. It's just baffling considering the DC fandom's propensity for slashing everything that moves and isn't Guy Gardner.
