Yeah, there's stuff that's fairly common (and translations that are widely known), which is why I don't like to clutter the story with too many explanations. However, I was reading this great story that had Angel thinking of Spike as his Ganymede, and I couldn't quite pull the reference out of my brain, and so Googled instead. It was all very informative, but a quick note at the end of the story would've saved me opening a new tab. *shrug* I like to Google, but I figure if I already have, I might as well save my readers the trouble.
