This is a fabulous topic. Especially since I'm tired of the amount of feedback I'm getting for whatever fic I'm writing including, "Make it Bobby/Jubilee!"
I did write a bit about Bobby and Jubilee having sex - I did it to illustrate how bad of an idea this was and the effect it would have on a relationship like they had. I did a similar bit with Bobby and an original character and Jubilee and an original character - and both ended badly because it was in both canon characters to have unsuccessful relationships with others, no matter what other elements were presented.
Pairings - no matter the sexual preference - is a science. To use a chemistry analogy, you don't combine helium and mercury and conclude that you have salt - just as you don't combine, for example, Jubilee and Marrow and say that it's true love. It's a good pairing and I'd love to see it written, actually. It'd be violent, self-deprecating and humiliating - if the writer was true to the characters. Most likely, it'd be a pair of golems who just had similar names and did the same fantasy that the writer has.
I know when I was younger, I thought everything equaled that ultimate pairing and romantic ending. Observation, time, and experience have helped in my perception of that. It's also a lot of work. "Work" also has the same affect of saying "it" to the Knights Who Say Ni. But that's more of my opinion (though my opinion is proved throughout most of fanfiction.net's archives.)
And Bobby/Hank encourages me to take a page out of Oedipus.
