I would call the story you cite slash, but not, for example, Dasha's Salt of the Earth, despite the fact that McKay's in love with Sheppard. I think for me, it's the focus of the story - "The Awful Truth" is all about the potential of romance, and Salt of the Earth is not.

I'm not familiar with that story, but it sounds interesting. And because I'm not familiar I don't know what you mean by the focus of the story being elsewhere. :) Damn the internets for being too big for me to read everything! LOL

Just to play devil's advocate, what would you call a story in which Rodney is in love with Elizabeth but the story doesn't focus on their potential for romance?
