You know, sometimes I think it just works for a pairing. I absolutely think that Q & O had a whole fervent mess of feelings for each other, but...I read a comment by someone once talking about a Renault book where she said that the tragedy was that it was two people who should have met, but never did. That's Qui-Gon and Obi-Wan for me. They spent all that time together, they had feelings, they knew and understood each other, but for a bunch of reasons never quite went that final step to really meeting. And that's part of their story, right?
Sex seems like part of Horatio and Bush's story, though. It might be that your fic goes there because it's a really key, realistic way for them to express themselves/their connection. Um. Also because it's hot. XD
I just find the Shakespeare thing so interesting because it works on two levels: one, that the writers use it to look situations and characters, and two, that Archie uses it to do pretty much the same thing. So it's got this great external/internal thing happening and tells us a lot about Archie. For someone that doesn't get a whole lot of dialogue/time on screen, it's really useful in exposing him. I should shut up and ramble in the meta post instead.
