Glossary

The numbers: I don't think you need to be told that 1 is Heero, 2 is Duo and 5 is Wufei, + is platonic love or friendship, x is sexual relationship, yadda yadda. But the way we note the pairings may need some explanation...

The + only goes one way. 1+2 means that Heero loves Duo, not that Duo loves Heero back. That would be 1+2+1 if they're aware of each other's feelings and/or flirting and/or dating, and 1+2, 2+1 if they love each other without being aware that it is returned. If it's a 1+ (2x5) it means that Duo and Wufei are together and Heero loves them both, but they don't return it.

We don't take into account the seme and the uke in sexual relationship, so when you see 1x2, it doesn't mean that Heero tops Duo. It only means that they have sex and that Heero's number came first when we were typing it down.We're not going to be THAT detailed, plus in a lot of fics it's a) not shown clearly, as by a lemon and b) not always the same one who tops.
