** The ''Janus Gate'' trilogy of novels basically establishes them as unshakeable life partners, so much so that even when youthful Lieutenant Sulu meets a decades-older ShellShockedVeteran version of Chekov from an alternate timeline, they ''instantly'' get along. Additionally, toward the end of the series, [[spoiler:the older Chekov is forced to kill his timeline's Sulu, whom he's spent most of his life faithfully serving. Established as someone left cynical and emotionally deadened by years of wartime, it's notable that the older Chekov's ONLY display of emotion is at this point, when we see him [[PietaPlagiarism cradling Sulu's body]] and weeping with guilt and anguish.]]

*** "The Wire," in which Bashir helps Garak through a near-suicidal drug addiction, is pretty much a forty-five minute HoYay fest. It culminates with Bashir going alone into Cardassian space to meet the former head of the Cardassian secret police in order to save Garak's life.

** There was always a sexual subtext when Odo would link with another shape-shifter, so when a male shape-shifter showed up in "Chimera," some Ho Yay was unavoidable. And then you've got Quark saying, "This is no time for a 'Changeling Pride' demonstration on the promenade..."

***A Hallmark Star Trek Christmas ornament uses this scene, complete with creepy dialogue. Its very giggle inducing.

** In ''TheSearchForSpock'', Kirk willingly sacrifices the ''Enterprise'' - the one thing he cares about more than anything else in the universe - to save Spock. Bear in mind that it's mentioned numerous times during the series that the ''Enterprise'' is more important to Kirk than any woman....

** In ''TheSearchForSpock'', Kirk willingly sacrifices the ''Enterprise'' - the one thing he cares about more than anything else in the universe - to save Spock. Bear in mind that it's mentioned numerous times during the series that the ''Enterprise'' is more important to Kirk than any woman....woman and that, in the episode Elaan of Troyius, it was stated canonically that Kirk's love for the Enterprise was so great that he was able to overcome a love spell cast on him (one that was supposed to be irreversible!) because he ''still'' loved the Enterprise far more than the girl. Hm.
*** Also in ''TheSearchForSpock'', there's Kirk saying that if Spock has an immortal soul, it's his responsibility. When the guy he's talking to looks at him weirdly and questions it, Kirk just replies firmly, "as surely as if were my very own." Oh, and he refers to Spock as 'the nobler part of myself.' ('My better half', anyone?)
** [[http://bigmamag.livejournal.com/266402.html This is an attempt to clip every single relevant Kirk/Spock moment into one video.]] [[CrowningMomentOfAwesome it is over 2 hours long.]]
** There's just ''so much'' subtext between these two that the sheer amount of [[http://fanlore.org/wiki/Meta meta]] produced towards it (arguing either pro-Spirk or anti) is truly phenomenal. [[http://mirroreuler.dreamwidth.org/14711.html This is just a taste.]]

*** Another episode ("Destiny") establishes that Cardassians regard constant bickering as [[BelligerentSexualTension a signal of sexual interest.]] What have Garak and Bashir been doing every week for three years? Meeting for lunch to bicker about literature. Slashers drew the only logical conclusion.

*** Regarding the shoulder rub, a Cardassian's neck ridges extend down right next to the shoulders and are erogenous zones. It's the first time they meet and Garak's doing the Cardassian equivalent of grabbing Bashir's ass.

*** In Extreme Measures we have a line where Bashir tries to convince O'Brien that he likes him more than his wife, states that he likes him better than his girlfriend Ezri, and starts pouting when O'Brien won't admit that he loves him. It should also be noted that in the final episode there are a bunch of montages showing some character's fondest memories on the station. Every. Single. One of O'Brien's memories feature Julian. Not one contains his wife.

** There's also a hint of LesYay between Uhura and a couple of the alien girls. In ''Spock's Brain'', for instance, when the Eymorg lands on the ship, and the whole crew (including Uhura) gape at how beautiful she is. In ''Amok Time'', when Uhura sees T'Pring's communication to Spock, she says in an almost lovestruck voice "Oh, she's beautiful! Who is she?"

* Pick a male character from ''StarTrekEnterprise''. Newsflash: he has been slashed with Malcolm Reed. Tucker/Reed is the most popular, with Archer/Reed a distant second and Archer/Tucker in third. Something about our dear British armoury officer makes him eminently slashable. Maybe it's all the time he spends playing with [[FreudWasRight phase cannons]].

Unless he's popping up to save Picard's life, or guide him to save the universe.

Not to mention at least one writer and John de Lancie (Q) himself stating Q was in love with Picard. At one point, Q muses that he might have done better to appear to Picard as a female. SoYeah.

Eventually her lover has to be transferred to another body which is female, and Crusher breaks up with him/her...though it's specifically because she can't handle being with someone who could move to a different body at any time, not that he is now a she.
