And yes I understand *why* they're probably not going to go there, and I can see why that is irritating to those who ship it, but that doesn't mean that what they are doing right now isn't also great.

While I understand that lesbian relationships are under-represented in media, so are mature friendships between women, especially between those who have originally been set up as rivals romantically.
