There are times when I prefer Tamaki/Kyouya over Tamaki/Haruhi, just because Tamaki/Kyouya is so much more understated and complex, and I appreciate that in a pairing — but like you, subtle and not too subtext-y is usually best in any pairing, I think. Prince of Tennis (for example, though you're not in the fandom that I can tell) really has no canon pairings to speak of, but it's chock-full of subtle and subtextual slash and little bits of het. That's why it's so easy to have fun with. Any series with too many blatant pairings, slash or het, is bound to get boring. :/ Though the wank should be great.

(Or his lovely item. ;D)

dkslafj;adsf, Kyouya/Ayame, honestly, I cannot get enough of it. Or maybe I can't get enough of Kyouya, because I really, really love Kyouya/Tamaki, too.

And you know, Renge's one of the two character types that instantly pisses me off (that is, loud and interfering) — it always takes me a second go-round to begin to grudgingly like them. (You're familiar with CLAMP — I hated CCS' Meiling at first, too. |D;) Now that I've come around to liking Renge, though, I'm seeing all kinds of subtext with her and Kyouya, and it's absolutely awesome. ☆

I think you're right about Kyouya/Tamaki being more complex--which is why I can appreciate the pairing, if not ship it. PoT sounds like a really fun series, then! I always wondered why it was so popular, but I don't think I ever bothered to check up on it. Though it sounds like the fandom could be really susceptible to ship wars...?

Though, what you said about Hikaru/Haruhi -- I think that's exactly how I feel about Doumeki/Watanuki. I know there's all these canon suggestions, and I agree that Doumeki-->Watanuki, at least, is canon, but while I'm willing to admit it, it doesn't make me like it. I won't stop shipping Watanuki/Zashiki Warashi. D:

(THAT TOO. XD;)

I think I end up liking the loud and interfering types partly because they're so hated by fandom in general. I always think they have the most emotional honesty, whereas characters like Haruhi are always emotionally clueless as to their own feelings. And I love Meiling so. ♥ Tho Nakuru is my fav. CCS character for much of the same reasons. I have a lot more respect, I think, for these types of characters than for someone clueless and effortlessly charming, if only because they somehow seem more "real" to me.
