Ships that I Ship: Day 28: Razor/Blade

Canon: Hackers
Pairing: Razor/Blade
Canon Level: Friends(?)

So. Way back in the day, I went looking for Hacker fic. There's not a lot out there now, and over a decade ago there was even less. I found one thing that qualified as readable for me, and it was actually pretty good! It was also Razor/Blade slash, and them as a couple just sort of clicked for me. Like, "Ahh, that makes sense and is clearly the most reasonable explanation for their relationship." I basically read them as should-be-canon, but I really don't know if that's accurate. The movie doesn't say anything one way or the other, so maybe they're supposed to be read as a couple. Or maybe they're supposed to be read as only friends since this was a mainstream movie from 1995 and that was probably a lot of people's default assumption. Either way, I definitely ship them. They live together, they work together, they're in sync with each other, they should be together too.
