History HoYay / AngelSanctuary

** [[spoiler: To summarize, Kira is in love with Alexiel. Setsuna is the reincarnation of Alexiel. Kira admits that Setsuna was the only form Alexiel's soul took which made him forget about her.]] RelationshipWritingFumble or AnguishedDeclarationOfLove?

* Rosiel and Katan: Ho Yay -Averted. [[WordOfGod Word of giddy and embarrassed God]] says they had a tryst. Word of everyone in the series is Katan's obsessed with Rosiel, and [[{{God}} Word of Literal God]] says Katan is [[spoiler:the one Rosiel loves more than anything]]. Their relationship tropes are in the [[AngelSanctuaryAngels character subpages]].

Ho Yay Basic Trope: Two same-sex characters, often canonically heterosexual, are shipped by the fans after one tiny hint of Homoerotic Subtext.

* ''AngelSanctuary'', laden with {{Bishounen}} as it is has not sooo many moments. Many are HeterosexualLifePartners or otherwise more parental relations. However...
* The relationship between Rosiel and Katan -- or, more accurately, the obsession of Katan with Rosiel -- strongly suggests something beyond a master/servant relationship. The evidence, ladies:
** Rosiel claims Katan is the only beautiful thing he ever "created".
** The ([[KillTheCutie short-lived]]) [[ClingyJealousGirl Kirie]] actively competes with Katan for Rosiel's attention. When she tends to a sleeping Rosiel, he says Katan's name in his sleep.
** Rosiel FORCE FEEDS Katan one of his [[WhoWantsToLiveForever undeath-granting feathers]] to keep him alive. [[spoiler: Moments after callously sacrificing Kirie for a failed BatmanGambit]].
** After a failed assassination attempt, Rosiel [[TheGlomp nearly tackles]] Katan for comfort. While demanding that he tell him he's beautiful [[DoesThisRemindYouOfAnything so loudly he can't hear anything else]]. Note that Katan [[ItMakesSenseInContext is nude at the time]].
** Although [[TraumaCongaLine several events]] [[DrivenToMadness contribute to Rosiel's insanity]], [[SuicidalCosmicTemperTantrum he only goes over the edge]] ''after'' he [[spoiler: [[ShootTheDog kills Katan]]. When Alexiel reconciles with her brother at last, Rosiel asks to be reunited with Katan. Before Setsuna finally returns home, he spots Rosiel and Katan on a pillar and asks them to bring Sara back to Assiah for him.]]
** Rosiel [[NoSenseOfPersonalSpace routinely fondles]] AnythingThatMoves. However, he only shows genuine affection for Katan.
** Kaori Yuuki compares Katan and Rosiel's relationship to that of Alexiel and Kurai. Kurai was canonically in love with both [[BiTheWay Alexiel and Setsuna]]. The specific term she uses is "husbands". ''This was in the first volume, people!''

** Lampshaded in one of the Afterword sidebars. Apparently, one of Kaori Yuuki's assistants admitted to her that she was convinced Katou was gay. Yuuki emphatically told her she was right. She DOES, however, admit that the question never came up in-story, so she might have just been [[{{Troll}} Trolling]].
