1507. Twelfth Night, Olivia, Olivia had never felt any attraction towards men before she met Cesario. Sebastian is exactly like him in every way, so why do things simply not work between them?

1509. Twelfth Night, Viola/Orsino, Viola and Orsino discover they're both happier when Viola is Cesario.


1510. Twelfth Night, Viola/Orsino, Viola realises that she was far more comfortable living as Cesario. Orsino discovers that this doesn't change his attraction to hir at all. claimed by baffledking

1515. Twilight, Angela and Bella, Edward never came back, he never set up Angela with Ben, and when Angela comforts Bella after his departure will the two sweetest girls in Forks make nice?


1516. Twilight, any Volturi character, Their hidden passion for another and subsequent "outting". This does not have to have a HEA for the LGB - but a realization of self would be lovely.


1517. Twilight, Bella and Edward, "It just never felt quite right." Bella sits down with Edward to explain why she isn't happy in their relationship.


1518. Twilight, Carlisle/Aro, Aro is captivated by Carlisle, Carlisle does not feel the same way, but is afraid of eternal loneliness.


1519. Twilight, Carlisle/Edward, Carlisle is riddled with guilt about his feelings for Edward and is more than surprised to find Edward is in the exact same position as he is - do they repress it, or explore it?


1520. Twilight, Carlisle/Jasper, Carlisle is confused - is Jasper manipulating his emotions, or are they real? Jasper feels awful for playing with Carlisle's feelings for his own benefit but is too selfish to stop.


1521. Twilight, Edward Cullen, Edward said he'd never loved anyone before Bella, and Esme once told Bella that she feared Carlisle had turned Edward too soon because he'd never shown interest in a girl before. But what if it just wasn't GIRLS he's interested in? And if he's never loved anyone romantically before, he's had sexual feelings for them. Born in 1901, this same-sex attraction scares him to death and he's hoping Bella will "fix" him. How does it fall apart? And can Bella help him face the truth about himself?

1526. Twilight, Leah Clearwater, Leah is not just the first female werewolf, she's also winkte (to borrow a Lakota word). The older she gets, the more she realizes she misses the stability and familiarity Sam had offered, but not the sex. It's women who turn her head. (This topic will take knowing or finding out a little about how same-sex attraction is viewed in native cultures. I'd suggest starting with Paula Gunn Allen's The Sacred Hoop.) claimed by sideadde


1527. Twilight, Leah/any female character or OC, When Leah finally imprints, all are surprised. How Leah handles this is up to you, but should be more than just the "angry" Leah characterization that is typical. claimed by mysticgirl5


1528. Twilight, OCxOC, Edward is so happy with his success of setting up Angela and Ben that when he hears [Bella's classmate's] thoughts about [classmate of the same gender], he can't help but continue to play matchmaker and enlists his entire family to help.

This secret she holds dear, but on one afternoon her secret comes face-to-face with her secret. How does Rosalie reconcile her past to the life she leads now? Rosalie comes to the realization that Love is Love, whatever form it takes for her. **This slightly could be construed against the rules as in Canon she is in love with Emmett, but I am trying to get out that Rose finds herself not discerning of sex when it comes to who impacts her life and love. An understanding of her Bisexuality should be the ultimate goal here.** claimed by emibella

After Justin's day at Mode, Marc strikes up an e-mail penpal relationship with the young man to try to help him navigate the cruel waters of teenagerhood and emerge fabulous on the other end.


1539. Ugly Betty, Randy and Justin, the reason Randy didn't want his friends to tease him about being gay for hanging out with Justin is that he's starting to think it's true (up to the author to decide how to portray Justin and what kind of relationship to give the two boys)


1540. Ultraviolet, Jack Beresford, "Now there's an irony." It's more than just the obvious changes, now Jack finds he can live the life he's always wanted to.


1541. Ultraviolet, Michael Colefield/Frances Pembroke, Mike has come to rely on Frances. She's level-headed, a good friend and there's still *that* spark. More importantly she's helped him out of many a difficult situation and has been a sounding board for a variety of outlandish theories. So why is it so hard for him to tell her he's bisexual?


1542. Ultraviolet, Michael Colefield/Jack Beresford, The reason Mike has the feelings he does is because of Jack's strange new powersà isn't it?

1550. Victorian Romance Emma, Tasha, How does she feel about Emma getting married to William?

1562. Vorkosigan Saga, Terrence Cee, Adjusting to life on an all-male planet isn't always easy for Terrence. He's bisexual and the fact that he's falling in love with Ethan doesn't bother him, but he's having trouble dealing with the fact that being sexually attracted to women is an ultimate taboo on Athos.

1601. X-Men Comicverse AU, Doug Ramsey, older than he was when he died in canon.

He never told Chris how he felt," but did eventually tell Chris's mother. The concept of "coming out" is anachronistic", but it it was after Chris died that Alan was forced to make decisions about being open about his sexuality.


1619. RPF, Angelina Jolie/Brad Pitt/others (author's choice), Brad knew Angelina was bisexual, he also knew she missed women. It was inevitable that they'd have the conversation about her being with women again. What he didn't know is that she would be willing to have him there, and how actually watching how two women were together, and joining in would help him realise that he might be interested in being with a man, not to mention how much he'd like to be with Angelina and a man. They find a like-minded couple to help them explore this side of themselves.


1620. RPF, Ann M. Martin, Ann's resigned herself to secrecy and celibacy -- living publicly as a lesbian is much more spotlight than she wants her life. But as she gets older, she wonders if her silence is sending a message too -- one she can't agree with.

The idea he might be bisexual never really occured to him since it tends to have such negative connotations. When he realises he has strong feelings for another man but still fancies women he decides he needs to accept bisexuality is a legimate sexuality and come out as such.


1623. RPF, John Barrowman, he's been out as gay for years and is in a long term relationship (not with his RL partner, please, I prefer not to see non public figures in RPF, OC or former/current co-star as the author likes). What happens when he finds himself having feelings for one of his female co-stars, and wanting to act on them? How will his partner react? Preferably Eve Myles or Billie Piper as the woman, but the choice is up to the author. Would prefer it ending as an OT3 or poly situation.


1624. RPF, Kevin Jonas, "Oh my God,"I'm the gay one."


1625. RPF, Sue Denim/Dee Plume, Sue and Dee have both had (or still have in Dee's case) feminine boyfriends. In fact the idea of manly men doesn't appeal at all.

1641. RPF - Beatles, George Harrison/Paul McCartney, Juggling appearances with reality.


1642. RPF - Beatles, George Harrison/Paul McCartney, Part of the appeal is that they might get caught; but is that worth everything that comes with it?


1643. RPF - Beatles, John Lennon/Any Male, What does love without sex mean to him? Is it just a way to convince himself he's not into guys?


1644. RPF - Beatles, John Lennon/Brian Epstein, It's not what John wants, but it might be what he needs.


1645. RPF - Beatles, John/Paul, "Since when do best mates shag?"


1646. RPF - British comedy, Any comedians, On most comedy panel shows, jokes about sexuality are common and generally at the expense of those who perpetuate prejudice. However, after one panellist makes a joke that could be taken to stereotype gay people unfairly, another panellist decides to challenge them about it, with surprising results.


1647. RPF - British comedy, Any same-gender double act, There are constant rumours about the real nature of the relationship between a long standing double act. One partner decides they ought to just be open about their sexuality, but the other reasons that it's no one else's business. Can this disagreement be resolved? If so, how?


1648. RPF - British Comedy, Mitchell & Webb, In The Smoking Room, Robert's character (Robin) is described as 'using sarcasm and defensive humour to keep people at a distance because he is terrified of them learning his secret, an aspect of himself he hates'. The secret alluded to is that he is gay. Robert can't help mentioning to David how accurate a description he thinks that could be of *him.* How does David react?


1649. RPF - British Comedy, Mitchell & Webb, When Rob Brydon flirts with David and says that he finds him attractive on Would I Lie To You? David says he feels 'a bit weird about that'.
