Ho Yay: There has been speculation about Eric's relationship with Godric even before we learned that Godric is his Maker.

Also Domestic Abuse (in my Tara's canon, mostly from her brother, but this isn't made totally explicit in the show)
In Taxon, sometimes treads the borderlines of Woobie territory
