*Blinks* ... Are there fics where Ryan is queer but Esposito isn't? Because I'd be all over that, too, especially if it comes with a side of unrequited love.

But Castle fandom is pretty unusual, I think. It's only real juggernaut pairing is Caskett...which has been canon for years and was obviously endgame from the pilot.

How is that unusual?

(Anonymous) 2015-03-20 11:38 pm (UTC)(link)
The juggernaut is both het and canon, not slash and based on subjective subtext.

(Anonymous) 2015-03-20 11:42 pm (UTC)(link)
I....don't really think that's unusual at all?

(Anonymous) 2015-03-20 11:45 pm (UTC)(link)
Must depend on your fandom circles.

(Anonymous) 2015-03-21 12:23 am (UTC)(link)
Yeah, I used to think that was unusual too until I left the canon-shipping circles...

(Anonymous) 2015-03-20 11:35 pm (UTC)(link)
I'm probably the only one who can see both/either of them as bi/gay, but can't see them together romantically, at all? Like, I can picture Ryan going "Damn, that guy's pretty hot," and Esposito nodding in agreement. Then they call each other bro and go eat pizza or something.

Yeah, I get real sibling vibes from Ryan, Esposito and Beckett. Not really romantic at all.

(Anonymous) 2015-03-21 12:03 am (UTC)(link)
Also agree. I don't give any thought to a character being gay or bi; I ship regardless so I don't consider how likely it could be in the show..

But, either way, Esposito and Ryan never clicked for me as a couple.

(Anonymous) 2015-03-21 02:48 pm (UTC)(link)
I would LOVE this. So many times, queer characters are defined by being in a relationship. Two guys (maybe one is bi and the other is gay?) just hanging out and being friends without it being about the ~sexual tension~

After all, nobody makes a big deal then two straight people hang out.

(This may be a bit rambly and discombobulated. I've only had one cup of coffee so far.)

FYI I'm queer.

(Anonymous) 2015-03-21 03:57 pm (UTC)(link)
People make big deals all the time about straight men and women hanging out. They're always assumed to be fucking or in a friendship that's just a stop on the way to becoming romantic. The "men and women can't be friends" trope isn't just a trope, it's an actual thing a lot of people believe. No matter how stupid it is.

So it makes sense that two men who are both attracted to men would get the same treatment.

Image: Ryan and Esposito from Castle

Text: My absolute favorite Castle fics are the ones where Ryan is queer in some way. (Super Bonus Points if Esposito is not.)

I absolutely, to tinhat degrees, headcanon that Esposito is bi. Like, if the writers aren’t writing it that way, Jon Huertas is playing him that way anyway.
