Archie Goodwin and Nero Wolfe; Robin Hood and Little John; David and Jonathan; David Balfour and Alan Breck Stuart; Modesty Blaise and Willie Garvin; Mr. Steed and Mrs. Peel; Perry Mason and Della Street
I’ll probably think of more as soon as I hit “Post.”
That is :
A) The Royal Navy
and B) A Three-way.
Good one.
And their predecessors, Sherlock Holmes and Dr. Watson.
In fact, there’s plenty of fan-fic that makes it so 
He’s a bishonen, but that doesn’t mean he’s neccesarily gay.
The Doctor and Rose.
If there was a good term for “in love, just not romantically or sexually”, it would apply to Detectives Elliot Stabler and Olivia Benson, Manhatten SVU. The absolute panic each displays when the other is in danger tells it all. They’d pretty much die for each other, or avenge the other’s murder at any cost.
Not that it stopped them from having other lovers, at least in the novels.
I second these.
And in the comics it’s clear that all those beautiful girls don’t just follow Willie around to gaze into his eyes. And Modesty is shown with overnight male companions as well.
Sexual encounters with others, yes, frequently and openly. But true and deep love between them.
He enjoys dressing in drag (one of the few episodes I’ve seen had him enthusiastically masquerading as a schoolgirl) and has a sassy, evil female friend who bosses him around. He and Jesse are basically Jack and Karen from Will & Grace.
Speaking of SVU, I’ve long felt that Munch and Fin are basically married. I’m not saying they’re sleeping together, but they totally act like a couple.
If I recall correctly (and it’s been a long time), James was meant to be a parody of a Japanese theater where all the characters are played by women. So, no, he’s not gay, he’s a lesbian.
There were no canon pairings on Thundercats! (besides Lion-o & the Sword). Besides, cats aren’t exactly monogamous anyway.
Xander and Riley were totally doing it behind Anya and Buffy’s backs.
I can’t watch them together in fifth season episodes without getting those vibes.
This makes no sense at all, and sounds to me like something made up by an American Pokemon fan who knows little about Japan.
The Takarazuka Revue is an all-female theater in, surprise, Takarazuka (there’s also another theater in Tokyo), and some of the most famous actresses are the ones who specialize in male roles. But I don’t see how a male character who sometimes dresses as a woman as part of an evil plan would serve as a parody of a female actress who always plays a man onstage. James doesn’t even look like a Takarazuka actress. The women who play male roles have much shorter hair, often dyed brown or auburn. I’m not finding many good pictures on the web, but the actress shown here is pretty typical.
If anything James would have to be a parody of kabuki theater, where all the roles are played by men, but even that doesn’t make much sense.
Just to be clear Silver Tyger Girl, I don’t doubt that you read that somewhere, I just strongly suspect that whoever wrote it didn’t know what they were talking about. Looking at my post again it kinds sounds like I’m accusing YOU of making it up, which was not my intent.
Damn it, woman, what’s the pointof me teasing you when you refuse to rise to the bait?
Forgive me, but I’m not sure I recognize these two. Are they from Season 1 of the 1980s detective show Remington Steele? If so, I only know that because I was madly in love with Stephanie Zimbalist aka Laura Holt at the time. 
Skinner and Scully in the X-Files.
And why should I take the bait when doing otherwise bothers you more? 
Like I said, it was a long time ago. My Rocketshipping days are long past. (and the ‘he’s a lesbian’ part was a joke)
Twice I’ve seen James disguised as a female.
And, um… he seemed to take to that role with relish.
But he’s not as over-the-top as Harley.
Yep. The link is at the end of the first sentence. Sometimes I’m too subtle for my own good.
Laura never did anything for me at the time, but I’ve grown to appreciate her. “Miss Wolfe,” however, has always been a welcome visitor.
