I shipped Magneto/Xavier since well before the movies even came out and even harder after they did. Then First Class came out and, um, well...platonic or sexual, getting through the chemistry between Erik and Charles in that film required virtual mining gear. Never before have I been so enthralled with a chess game. :p
I don't disagree that age has something to do with many of my ships, because I'm a shallow human being, but certainly not all. There are relationships that make for beautiful romances regardless of the years of the people involved.
In regards to the secret, however, it still makes me blink that people would be absolutely 100% CONVINCED of a relationship between Bertie and Lionel. In general, and especially given their relationship with their wives (I don't exactly see Bertie as the polyamorous type)
