I'm not sure that a lot of people accept the idea of Lightning being characterized as an asexual, even if that's one of my usual interpretations of her character.
Bi/pan/asexuality is often ignored in favour of '100% gay/straight'. I'd like to see more interpretations of any of those, tbh. *highfives*
I am very much an avid Fang/Light shipper, but if I take the shipping glasses off for one second, it's not difficult for me to see Lightning as any of those. It's one of the things I really like about FFXIII, actually - that you can choose to see Lightning's sexual orientation however you like and it would be...plausible.
Before, I wanted to write a fic where Fang was bisexual (that's how I usually see her, anyway) and Lightning was asexual and the two would confuse/annoy each other with stories of their sexcapades (or lack thereof as it would have been in Light's case), but I scrapped that idea pretty quickly. Mainly because it wouldn't have been deep or meaningful in any way and would have been written just to serve me some temporary giggles.
Just the thought of them talking about it, though...haha. I'm not quite sure why it makes me laugh.
