Line 11:
"Coming out" is almost always an issue and promises considerable turmoil and [[angst]] ("[[Out On Vacation]]"), if not outright danger ("[[The Two of Them]]"). Same-sex relationships are prey to the same difficulties and breakups as heterosexual ones, with outpourings of [[angst]] always a possibility ("[[Just the Sun at Night]]").
Given that the ''Daria'' series offers almost no support for any same-sex coupling (see [[Homosexuality in Daria]]), slash stories are of necessity creative in their choice of partners. They have been written about characters who usually have antipathy for each other ("[[Quinn's Nights at Casa Lane]]," "[[Writes of Passage]]") or don't even know each other in canon ("[[Bar Fly]]"). Some are clearly alternate-universe tales, rewriting the series as a whole to incorporate lesbian or gay relationships ("[[Pause in the Air]]"). Science-fiction and horror fanfics carry the creativity further—sometimes very far indeed ("[[The Alpha and the Omega]]"). Same-sex characters can even have sex together but not be homosexual ("[[Witches’ Flight]]"). The genre has even been taken to unconscionable extremes in terms of parings
