Slash challenge

So I was talking to someone else somewhere else about fanfic and slash, and in the confines of Harry Potter - where you'd find all the obvious ones, Harry/Voldemort, Hermione/Snape, and more Hagrid/x than you'd expect - we were wondering who wasn't slashed by the fanfic smutsers. I mean, Dobby gets a look in and Madam Hooch (please, Zoe Wanamaker with a broom, it writes itself!)...

And then it struck me. The Sorting Hat!

So there's the challenge. Find Sorting Hat slashfic. And no, don't write it, that's cheating. Though Voldemort's backwards face and the Hat do come to mind...

I think I'd want a ruling on which sex the Sorting Hat was first, otherwise I might end up finding Hat Het by mistake.

I mean, on the one hand, hollow thing that a head gets inserted into; on the other, pointy thing, and voiced by Leslie Philips besides. Paging Dr Freud...

Gonna come across as ignorant here but if I don't ask, I'll never know.

Slash is...
(a) a Guitarist most famous for his work with Guns'n'Roses
(b) a cut/cutting motion made with a sharp instrument
(c) slang for urination
(d) something else which one of you educated types can tell me?

Fan-fiction of a (usually) erotic nature. So-called because of the "/" - as in, say, Harry/Hermione. Though that would be too obvious.
