I'd parse their relationship as probably in love, but I'm hedging my bets with integrated personality that doesn't hate itself
Yeah -- this is kind of my reading of it. I mean, in some ways becoming an integrated personality is sort of the goal of a lot of in-love sorts of situations -- but in some ways I felt a bit like FoD!Young/Rush kind of skipped the "in love" phase and went straight to integrated-personality.
I see FoD as an example of slash at its most skillful - it's not only a same sex pairing, it's a pairing that is brought together despite a fairly unrelenting reading of the canon dynamic of intense conflict.
But yes to this! Like I said earlier in this thread, I think it's amazing that I started buying into the relationship even though they're both kind of... obnoxious.
