since one fic is slashy while the possible fic is a het fic for those who don't exactly do slash (and that was me a few years ago, though I was open towards slash by writers I trusted; one of these days I'll post a Teal Deer about how I came to be more accepting of slash pairings).

I'll be interested to read your teal deer. I have... strange opinions on slash. While I don't hate it (nor do I hate slashers), I'm very selective about it. Then again, I'm in fandoms where the favorite pairings are "This Half of the Round Table/That Half of the Round Table", for example. >.>
