You know you want to.
I want to know -- what do you think is the Slashiest Scene Ever in your fandom? Here are a few from me.
Angel
Season four premiere, Wesley -- grim, Lilah-fucking, Justine-enslaving Wesley -- hauls Angel, who tried to murder him, out of the ocean. And then he opens his arm to let Angel drink. Gah.
Babylon 5
In the S2 episode In the Shadow of Z'ha'dum, Mr Morden -- who I always called "the smiling man" -- and Vir Cotto run across each other in a bar. (I forget if Vir has come to get Morden for Londo.) Morden looks at Vir and sucks on his swizzle stick and says, in his smiling voice, "What do you want?" Vir looks flustered.
Starsky & Hutch
In the S1 episode A Coffin For Starsky, Starsky has 24 hours to find the antidote for the poison he's been injected with or he'll die. He and Hutch spend the time tracking down the man who tried to kill Starsky, Starsky growing steadily weaker.
In the afternoon, they go back to the police station to wait for some info there. They sit down at one of the desks in the middle of a large public room. And then they hold hands.
I think that's the Slashiest Scene Ever Out Of Any Fandom for me.
What are yours? It's a nice way to pass the weekend.

The episode "The Golden." Blair has ingested a drug that impairs eyesight and causes hallucination. (Jim has been dosed eariler and is blind) And he's shooting demons in the parking garage. Jim walks to him (still blind) and talks him down. Then cradles Blair in his arms.
ST:TOS
"The Empath." McCoy is lying at death's door. Spock takes his pulse, then lets his hand linger, gently stroking McCoy's.
Star Wars
In Empire, they're saying goodbye in the hangar. Luke starts to say something, stops and just smiles. Han just stares down from the top of the Falcon as he walks away. And stares, and stares intensely.
LotR
Appendix
In Ithilien, Legolas built a boat and sailed over the Sea. With him, he took Gimli Gloin's son. So passed the Company of the Ring.
Indiana Jones
Henry climbs into the Nazi tank to rescue Marcus, and they launch into "Genius of the Restoration aid in our resuscitation" with daffy hand gestures and giggling.

I nearly died.

Voyager: that scene in The Chute where Harry and Tom huddle/sleep in their little hut and there's clutching/holding of hands.
and probably a lot of other things that I'll remember once I've posted this. :)

If the WB is just promote the show this way already, the ratings would go through the roof!

Stargate has lots of slashy moments but that one is just. pure flirting and love and closeness and wonderful.

I'd like to say the double Quickening from "Revelation 6:8" because Methos/Duncan is so OTP for me, but I am going to have to go with the scene in Mary Shelley's bedroom in "The Modern Prometheus" when Byron cups Methos' face and basically suggests they have a three-way with Mary.
Forever Knight
So very slasy, but I think the slashiest scene was in the episode "Trophy Girl" (er, I think that was the name) where LaCroix takes his finger and wipes a trickle of blood off Nick's face and then sucks on the finger.
no subject
I watched about one and a half eps of Forever Knight, but may I say, gah

*melts into a puddly of femslashy goop*

Clark is under the influence of red kryptonite, and in a fit of pique, tells Lex he's decided to run away to Metropolis. Lex tells him that's a great idea, says he's never liked Smallville anyway, and says they can use his penthouse. Clark's next line: "Clark Kent and Lex Luthor. I like the sound of that."
Actually, that whole episode is gay like a big gay thing.
no subject
"What are you gonna do, B, kill me? You become me. You're not ready for that, yet." Faith grabs Buffy's neck and kisses her on the forehead. Faith runs away.

Slashiest. Scene. Ever.

"Looking for love, hoping for evil..."

X-Files: The Krycek/Mulder kiss-on-the-cheek moment in "The Red and the Black".
no subject
Vinnie, an undercover Fed, has betrayed Sonny, a crime boss who has made him his right hand, in a really big and spectacular way. They get locked in an abandoned theater and hit each other until they're both wrecked; then Sonny turns on the jukebox and chooses "Knights in White Satin." He and Vinnie then sit, bruised and swigging liquor from the bottle, staring deeply into each other's eyes for the entire length of the song while the Moody Blues wail, "'cause I love you, oh how I love you" over and over.
Slashiest scene ever, yet to be equalled by any fandom as far as I'm concerned. :-)
no subject
Maze of the Minotaur: Iolaus gives Hercules seriously steamy looks over the rim of his wine goblet. He wants to, ahem, wrestle with Hercules. Herc refuses.
Next shot: Hercules and Iolaus are wrestling in Herc's barn, their half naked bodies gleaming in the firelight. Hercules ends the fight by grabbing Iolaus by shoulder and crotch - camera lingers lovingly on this shot - and prepares to stuff him into a water barrel.
"Mommy, what are Daddy and Uncle Iolaus doing?" asks cute widdle Ilea, who has suddenly appeared at the stable door, along with Deianeira, Hercules' wife.
"I was wondering about that myself," says Deianeira, looking indulgent. Ah, ancient Greece.
Our heroes look unaccountably embarrassed, and Hercules keeps holding on to Iolaus juuust a little longer before recollecting himself.
Mary Crawford, loving her pause button
Slashiest fandom moments
Archer and Tucker drinking wine and watching water polo ("A bunch of guys screwing around in a pool"). The look of love that passes between them is so... uh! Later in the same episode, they eat "essence of the male."
West Wing
The New York slashback when Josh is in hospital. Because, obviously, Sam has to leave his fiance and his job and go to New Hampshire with Josh.
Deep Space Nine
The bit in Extreme Measures wherein Miles and Julian believe themselves to be dying. Miles wishes he'd left a note for his wife to explain why he had to follow Julian into some guys brain:
"She'll know you did it for me."
"That's what'll upset her the most. She always said I like you more than her."
"That's ridiculous. Well, maybe you do. A bit more."
"I love my wife"
"And I love Ezri. Passionately. I just... like you... a bit more. There, I've said it."
So. Canon. Gay.
no subject
Project Greenlight, Season One, Episode Two: While cooped up in a hotel room picking the winner with some Miramax honchos and their other partner in slash (Chris Moore), Matt stands up to light a cigarette. He takes Ben's lit cigarette from his hand, lights his own, and places Ben's cigarette back between his fingers. Ben keeps on talking about Pete Jones or someone the whole time and doesn't blink an eye. Later, Ben's wrist is resting on Matt's knee.

Sports Night
Toss up between two scenes, because damn, this show is so textually slashy.
The *entire* episode of Thespis, bits quoted to give y'all an example:
Danny: Our anniversary.
Casey: Our anniversary?
Danny: Our anniversary. Today is our anniversary.
Casey: Jeez, Danny, that night in Minneapolis with the Jaegermeister, we didn't do anything untoward, did we?
Danny: You mean did we get married?
Casey: Yeah.
Danny: No.
Casey: Good.
Danny: You recited the St. Crispin's Day speech from the lobby of the St. Paul Radisson.
Casey: Well, was it untoward?
Danny: No, it was just embarrassing.
Casey: So, how is it our anniversary?
Danny: It's the anniversary of our first show. November 23rd, five years ago.
Casey: We went on the air two years ago last July.
Danny: I'm not talking about Sports Night. I'm talking about our first broadcast.
Casey: Lone Star.
Danny: Lone Star Sports.
Casey: November 23rd?
Danny: That's right.
Casey: What do you want from me?
Danny: Nothing, Casey. I'm just going to sit over here and do my show.
Casey: Impersonating my ex-wife never won anyone a place in my heart.
Danny: It's an important day to me.
Casey: It's an important day to me, too.
Danny: Oh, I don't think it is.
Casey: How do I prove it to you?
Danny: Remembering it would be a step in the right direction.
and later --
Casey: In a funny way, Danny and I are having the same fight right now. Only he doesn't know it's about a fight Lisa and I had five years ago.
Isaac: You've never told him, have you?
Casey: No.
Isaac: Why?
Casey: I don't know....
Isaac: You gotta learn to show people how you feel about them, Casey.
Casey: Why do I have to prove it to him?
Isaac: 'Cause he feels like a consolation prize.
Casey: He's not.
Isaac: Tell him. So you say a few words. You make a gesture. You remember an important date. A small price to pay for what you get in return. For what you get in return, it's a steal.
and later still:
Casey: I was gonna buy us some flowers on the way back from the control room, but--
Danny: I don't know if you've noticed, but I dropped that like fifteen minutes ago.
Casey: Good.
Danny: I just think that--
Casey: Danny. They offered me Conan's show.
Danny: They did?
Casey: Yeah.
Danny: They offered it to you?
Casey: They made-- there was an offer, they offered me the show.
Danny: And you passed?
Casey: Yeah.
Danny: You passed on your own network show?
Casey: Yeah.
Danny: To work with me in Dallas.
Casey: It was clear we were going national.
Danny: No, it wasn't.
Casey: Look, I passed on the show. What does it matter why?
Danny: And if you passed on the show, Lisa must've gone thermal.
Casey: She wasn't happy.
Danny: Case... was that the beginning of the end? For you and Lisa?
Casey: Yeah.
Danny: Casey. Casey, Casey, Casey....
Casey: Look, I appreciate your fond wishes, all right? But can we just move on--
Danny: Are you stupid?
Casey: What happened to the fond wishes?
Danny: You turned down Late Night?
Casey: I wouldn't have been any good on it.
Danny: Yes, you would've.
Casey: No, I wouldn't have.
Danny: You would've been great.
Casey: Danny--
Danny: You would've been great.
And the really really ultra slashy one from "April Is the Cruelest Month" -- Casey and Danny have been fighting. Danny does something really shitty, immediately apologizes, but Casey is still pretty pissed off. Things are tense. Danny extends the olive branch and invites Casey to a Seder he's organizing. At the last minute, Casey shows up, pulls Danny away from the dinner, and they stand there looking nervous and making small talk until Casey says, "I wouldn't trade the last ten years working with you for anything. Not for anything, Danny, I swear to God." And then Casey opens his arms, and they hug, hard, like they missed each other. Talking quietly in each others' ears. For ten seconds. Then they go inside and join the Seder. Casey picks up his wine glass to drink before it's time. Danny puts his hand on Casey's arm.
Oh, I love my boys.

There are those that maintain the entire episode Warriors is on-screen slash. In addition, there's the dreaming about Blair naked thing in S2P1, and the...well, the whole series, really. Slash-a-thon.
Due South
On the Fraser/Vecchio front, I *love* the bickering "I like my women to be women"/"That's picky, Ray" at the end of Some Like It Red. So loving. So sweet!
For F/K, it's a tossup between the buddy-breathing sequence in Mountie on the Bounty and the hand-holding in...Odds, I think, when Ray and Fraser have fallen in an alley and they stand up together, holding hands, and not in an I-helped-you-up way, either.
French is such a romantic language
"Are you good for anything?" asked Enjolras.
"I have a vague ambition in that direction," said Grantaire.
"You do not believe in everything."
"I believe in you."
"Grantaire, will you do me a service?"
"Anything. I'll black your boots."
"Well, don't meddle with our affairs. Sleep yourself sober from your absinthe."
"You are an ingrate, Enjolras."
"You the man to go to the Barriere du Maine! You capable of it!"
"....I am capable of that. My shoes are capable of that." ....
"Be serious," said Enjolras.
"I am wild," replied Grantaire.
Enjolras meditated for a few moments, and made the gesture of a man who has taken a resolution. "Grantaire," he said gravely, "I consent to try you. You shall go to the Barriere du Maine."
Grantaire lived in furnished lodgings very near the Cafe Musain. He went out, and five minutes later he returned. He had gone home to put on a Robespierre waistcoat. "Red," said he as he entered, and he looked intently at Enjolras. Then, with the palm of his energetic hand, he laid the two scarlet points of the waistcoat across his breast. And stepping up to Enjolras, he whispered in his ear: "Don't worry." He jammed his hat on resolutely and departed.

(Two young men watch their friend go by in the street.)
"He has the air of a man who is following some one."
"That's true," said Bossuet.
"Just see the eyes he is making!" said Courfeyrac.
"But who the deuce is he following?"
"Some dearie-sweetie-flowery bonnet! He's in love."
"But," observed Bossuet, "I don't see any dearie-sweetie-flowery bonnet in the street. There's not a woman around."
Courfeyrac took a survey, and exclaimed: "He's following a man!"
Bossuet burst out laughing. "Who is that man?"
"He?" retorted Courfeyrac, "he's a poet. Poets are very fond of wearing the trousers of dealers in rabbit skins and the overcoats of peers of France."
"Let's see where Marius will go," said Bossuet; "let's see where the man is going, let's follow them, hey?"
"Bossuet!" exclaimed Courfeyrac, "eagle of Meaux! You are a prodigious brute. Follow a man who is following another man, indeed!"
Most Slashy Moments
BODIE: The nutter! Could be anywhere, couldn't he? Eh? A thousand yards. What's that? A hit. Easy, couldn't miss.
DOYLE: That's right, but he won't, will he? Well, not yet anyway. He's teasing me. He's not just a nutter; he's a sadistic nutter. He's setting me up.
BODIE: Yeah, and you're just going to sit here and take it like a traditional nanny goat.
DOYLE: Till he comes out to get me.
BODIE: And then what?
DOYLE: You'll save me.
("Hunter/Hunted" transcription 2003 by TD)
Bodie is frantic for Doyle's safety in a macho and bullish way but Doyle won't give an inch. The look Doyle gives Bodie in the pause just before he says "You'll save me." Like there's no question, like that's how there Bodie is for him and Bodie shuts up, stops arguing because it's entirely true.
Blake's 7
Liberator and crew are about to go into an uncertain battle against a much greater force. Blake has been injured but won't stay away from the flight deck and action.
AVON [to Blake] Why didn't you stay in the medical unit? Couldn't you bring yourself to trust me just this once?
BLAKE I thought I might be able to help.
AVON In that condition?
BLAKE All right I'll go back.
AVON Can you manage, alone?
BLAKE Yes. Avon, for what it is worth, I have always trusted you, from the very beginning.
(Star One transcript from www.hermit.org/blakes7)
Two for the road
Van and Deaq are arguing about whether Deaq should trust Aquarius and why Van couldn't possibly understand what it was like to grow up black in the hood and why the issue isn't Deaq's banger roots but his cop present, but for reasons known only to cast and crew, Peter Facinelli is doing a fine upstanding impression of an extremely annoyed housewife for the duration of this conversation. These guys are so clearly married so often, but this moment is one of the biggest.
For X Files, I would offer up the entirety of SR 819 as slashiest ever, particularly the first bit where Mulder feels free to enters Skinner's office without so much as a by your leave because he's worried about his boss.
And one more
