Poor Kelly and her mom. I hated the reverse character development of her mom so much, and I didn't appreciate that the only reason she reversed again was because she was dying.
I only found one Brandon/Dylan story on AO3 of 19 stories?
David Lascher's Kyle Conners was in three episodes and was queer, but it was very implied and he may not have come out until the third one. Wasn't there someone in Kelly's burn storyline who had a crush on her who was in more than one episode?
Valerie always seemed like she'd be more of a candidate for femslash for me, though that may be filtered through later White Collar fandom. Also possibly Gina? Kelly/Donna could be shipped, and in the (very) early days I could go there with Kelly/Brenda.
(most of this is trying to remember stuff more than arguing)
Things I noticed on rewatch - Steve turned out to be a lot more interesting than I remembered him as being, Dylan wasn't as interesting as I remembered him being, my memories of Brandon/Jason Priestley were pretty close to how I perceived him later, Jim and Cindy were more interesting than I remember them, Kelly's mom was more of a screw-up than I remember her being though that may have been related to her storyline in the sequel series.
Also by the point it mattered, I wouldn't have picked Brandon or Dylan either.
Oh - and naturally, I was very much shipping Brandon/Brenda this time around. I went on google searches for 90210 fic after my own rewatch and found very little, though I did find one or two, I can go through my bookmarks and link if you like. The oddest one I found was a crossover with Pretty Woman of all things (it involved Richard Gere's character being a business associate of Dylan's dad).
