Discworld slash is a slippery slope

Then I read Unseen Academicals and it changed to "Wow, you could definitely read Ponder/Ridcully into this, if the idea weren't unappealing!"
Then I reread Going Postal and Making Money and it became "Well, it wouldn't be totally bad. Like, if it was just - you know - because their relationship - it's really rather sweet..."
And now I'm rereading Soul Music (which contains the first appearance of Hex, as well as a running joke about Wales, both of which I had forgotten) and I've accidentally come around to "I would totally read that."
Why is it always like this?
