In a curious alter-ago picture at the end of the TV movie, ''[[Is It College Yet?]],'' [[Lindy]] and [[Alison]] were depicted in a scene on a farm with a number of children, implying that they were a lesbian couple with a family. [[Crusading Saint]] used this image as the basis for his story, "[[Love, Reign Over Me]]," arguably the only slash shipper given some form of support by the TV show.
 
Generally speaking, there are two types of slash stories seen in ''Daria'' fanfic: the purely erotic ("[[The Passion Club]]," "Girls' Night Out") and the romance, or relationship explorer ("[[Out on Vacation]]," "[[Pause in the Air]]"), though some stories manage to combine both ("[[Writes of Passage]]").
 
"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 (
 
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 at best 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 but not be homosexual ("[[Witches' Flight]]").
