I loved Straight As A Circle for finally letting someone in a genderswap story be really, really on one end of the Kinsey scale or another in a way that was not mutable. The plot almost always requires that the protagonists be bi enough to live happily through and ever after, and it was great to see that fucked with. There's a SPN genderswap that's really sad - Dean falls in love with girl!Sam and then when Sam changes back, it's not ... he doesn't feel the same way, and Sam does.
As a bi person myself, I'm fully there with the "oh, bits, whatever," school of sexuality, but I like to see Kinsey sevens in stories; something about it is very satisfying to me.
BTW, this wasn't offputting theory-wise (I just skimmed the names), just long and I'm hung over, so I'm not parsing.
