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.

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.
