I totally agree. Howard is a spineless, amoral jerk who doesn't deserve Raj's friendship or Bernadette's love.

I think Raj is bi-curious*, so I like to imagine that he and Stuart start dating or that he meets another man who has mutual respect for him and they get into a relationship.

*I'm not a big fan of this term but it was the only one I could think of at the moment. It isn't accurate for Raj - he's hetero but could easily have strong friendship lead to a romantic/sexual relationship. In the case of Stuart, they don't canonically have a deep or strong enough friendship for that to happen yet. The beauty and power of fic means we can make it happen anyway.

You know, I toyes with the Raj/Stuart thing in my mind a bit, but I ended up thinking "but Stuart will probably do this because he's desperate for affection" and that left a bitter taste in my mouth.

Thank you for putting my thoughts into words! I've been thinking of that ship, but something didn't sit right with me, and now I get it.

In my head I usually go with the first (or was it second) season Stuart. I can't reconcile the guy we see now with who we first met.

I do sometimes like to imagine how Raj would handle it with the depressed, lonely Stuart that exists now. Raj is a good guy and he wouldn't be comfortable taking advantage. Keeping that in mind leads to big-bang length fic (that I will probably never write down) that leaves a lot more room for character exploration and can easily lead to them developing a deep true friendship. If it develops beyond that or not could go either way.
