Minor edit.


* BisexualLoveTriangle: Bo, a succubus fae, not only has strong feelings for Dyson, a male werewolf Fae, but for Lauren, a female human scientist working with the fae. Initially, Bo tries to keep her distance from Lauren, as she hasn't figured out how to fully control her drain-life-via-sex powers, and "feeds" of Dyson fairly regularly because fae have more life to give, so she can feed without killing him. As the series progresses and Bo learns to control her powers more (and various characters' dark secrets start coming out), the situation develops into a full-blown love triangle, with jealousy, betrayals, suspicion, and angst. In one memorable scene, Bo turns her love triangle into a riddle--a trick question one.

''Lost Girl'' is a TV series produced for Canada's Creator/ShowcaseTelevision and aired on Creator/SyFy. It revolves around Bo (Creator/AnnaSilk), a young woman with the ability to [[LivingAphrodisiac control men and women through her touch]] and [[KissOfTheVampire suck the life from them with a kiss]]. She is a [[HornyDevils succubus]], and one of the Fae, a group made up of several races of supernatural entities separated into two sides: Light and Dark. Rather than choosing a side, Bo decides to strike out on her own and learn about her past with the help of a streetwise sidekick named Kenzi (Creator/KseniaSolo), a Fae police detective named Dyson (Creator/KrisHoldenRied) and his sidekick Hale, a beautiful scientist named Lauren (Creator/ZoiePalmer), and a wise old man named Trick (Creator/RickHowland).

** All supernatural beings in this world, even [[OurVampiresAreDifferent vampires]], [[HornyDevils succubi]], and werewolves, are subtypes of Fae. There are also more traditional types of Fae such as [[OurBansheesAreLouder banshees]], [[WillOTheWisp Will-o'-the-Wisps]], etc. Most types of Fae prey on humans in some way, whether by feeding on emotions, LifeEnergy, body parts/fluids, or even by draining the luck from humans.

Sure, Bo is not exactly heterosexual, but they manage to subvert the LesYay precisely because of that: If there was anything more than friendship between Bo and Kenzi, on this show it would be main text. Nevertheless, the "Same Gender, Always Together" catchphrase certainly applies.
