Claudius/Gertrude sneaking around before Old Hamlet was offed.
Yes, it's terribly simple. The good guys are always stalwart and true, the bad guys are easily distinguished by their pointy horns or black hats, and, uh, we always defeat them and save the day. No one ever dies, and everybody lives happily ever after.

Hamlet/Ophelia isn't even a stretch.

Kiss me, my girl, before I'm sick.
Dude. Antonio/Sebastian. Like, not even a subtext.
Plus, there's all that yummy genderfuck in that play. I'd be surprised if someone hadn't written Olivia/Viola-Cesario femmeslash-in-counter-drag, or whatever you call it when women dress up like men.

Always Anti-fascist!

Take your fingers off it, don't you dare touch it, you know it don't belong to you, to you...
I'm sorry I asked about the Shakespeare fandom.
Antonio/Sebastian? How about Antonio/Bassanio/Shylock (Merchant of Venice)? That straddled the border between text and subtext.
How about Sonnet Slashfic? All of that beautiful young man stuff.
