I recall reading a very homoerotic pro ST novel in the 80's. I wonder if Killing Time was it? It featured Kirk carrying an injured, naked Spock and other OTT h/c scenes. I didn't even know what slash was at the time, nor even that fan fic existed, but I was pretty amazed by how gay that book was. Also very amused that a straight male colleague loved it and seemed not to notice. Heh.
