Speaking of TimKon, the one good thing about the clearly editorially mandated abortion of Superboy's rehabilitation they hastily had Lobdell write not long ago was Tim's reaction to Kon leaving for the proverbial cornfields (for one of the most offensively ridiculous in-story reasons I've ever had the displeasure of experiencing, to boot). That him tearing up in anger and despair felt rather out of the blue given their limited interaction as friends in post-FP continuity made it even more (repressed) slashy.
