that's just because platonic gorl-on-girl is not remotely complicated and therefore not hugely dramatic *hug* guys are so much more effed up and therefore make better viewing. you'll like Magnus/Ashley, methinks

Magnus: "How'd it go?"
Ashley: "Peachy."
Magnus: *sighs and gives a tolerant grin* "I'll change your bandages when you get home, dear. I love you."
Ashley: "Love you, Mom."

SO sweet ... also, i've done enough girl/girl huggly that it's less interesting to me personally than platonic guy/girl
