Buddyslash

Slash about Harry and Draco, who are enemies in canon, complicates academic theories of slash that are predicated upon the Kirk/Spock “buddyslash” model.

Although the pairing of Harry and Ron may seem as a typical example of buddyslash, one has to consider the presence of Hermione Granger as Harry's second sidekick.

It is most commonly noted that the first famous pairing of Kirk/Spock, or Spirk, falls under the category of buddyslash.
