Story of Hönk/Adeo:
At the end of episode three, there is a hug between the two characters, and before they hug they stare into each other’s eyes (and lips) for a long time, and it seriously looks like they are about to kiss. I watched it and was like "Dude, this is the gayest shit I have ever seen". I have watched the entire thing five times since then, and I still can't believe that I'm actually invested in Tatort of all things.
Story of SydneyHardin:
Vagrant Story is a dark fantasy game about a secret agent investigating a cult. Sydney is the cult leader (who starts as the antagonist but turns out to be morally grey), Hardin is a supporting character and Sydney’s henchman. When I was looking up fan material for this game, I saw that an author had written several novel-length stories about their relationship before the events of the game. I was stunned and a little amused: John Hardin? The henchman who says “Kill all the hostages”?? But I was intrigued enough to read one, and the author was such an excellent writer that by the end I was on board. Now, somehow, Vagrant Story has become a game about Sydney and Hardin’s gay divorce. They are not even a little bit canon.
