Ah! That makes perfect sense. Hero/Villain. I hadn't even thought of that, because it's so far from the norm in my own personal home fandoms.

(The UF is Hero/Villain, of course, but that's different. By present-day canon, there's nothing "pre-" about that relationship or "unresolved" about its tension, however we each choose to interpret the rest of it. ~grin~)

Below in this comment thread, Sholio makes an interesting observation that "UST" seems to be used more often to describe canon, while pre-slash and its spin-offs (apparently, pre-het and pre-OT3 do exist, although they're extremely rare; pre-relationship seems to be gaining more traction) are much more often applied to what the fanfiction is doing.
