Oh, I am totally with Dean on "boyfriend." I pretty carefully avoid using "boyfriend" or "husband" or even "lover" in slashfic; none of them really convey the right feeling for me. Very occasionally I get stuck and have to use some such term, but I try not to. "Boyfriend" is too juvenile, despite being pro-gay marriage I just dislike the term "husband" for some reason, and "lover" overemphasizes the sex part when there's really so much more. *grumbles about the English language, so many words and yet none that are right*
LOL that we are feeding off each other with the 69 thing; I think I made that awkward in "Passages" because of something you had said. ;-) [Heh, and isn't it fun to reread older smut?]
I can see that it will be a struggle to get Fred involved! You haven't made it easy on yourself there, so I do look forward to finding out how you resolve that. *g* I'm sure that the characters will come through for you eventually.
there's absolutely NO author self-insert in this story
Heh. Yeah. Well, that "person not gender" thing is one that I very much subscribe to myself, so... hee. {{hugs you}}
