Guilty Pleasures

[lettered]

Because it's almost 5am, and I still can't get to sleep.

stultiloqentia recently posted a drinking game for Spuffy smut fic. It's a list of words you're sure to have seen a time or two (except for, you know, gnomon). Of course, "cold dead seed" makes an appearance.

Also, a while back, kita0610 had an outing for the old schoolers who invented things like Buffy's vanilla scent. They're those things that get used again and again. And again.

And on stultiloqentia's list? I was surprised to realize I don't care how over-used it is, I still find the primal roar/whisper "Mine!" sexy. I also get turned on by Buffy's "tiny hands" (in Angel's broad ones), even though it's in every single fic on ff.net, the unsexiest place in the whole wide world.

I've managed to convince myself I'm not the only one.

So come on. What are those "I don't care how many times I see it, I still like it"s? Okay, it might be more of a "I don't care how many other people misuse it, I still like it if it's done right", but you have one, don't you? You like seeing Spike say "Da" or "Yes, Sire," or "Xanpet". You like Buffy's mossy green eyes and Angel's chocolate ones. You like it when _____'s mouth is like satin and ______'s spunk tastes like honey. You like it when Buffy finds out Angel married her without telling her when he put the Claddagh ring on her finger. You like seeing Angel spelled "Angle". What's your cliché-kink?

As a certified B/Aer, I feel the need to pipe up and say that I think Angel is the one person she would let have power over her, if she ever did give up that control to anyone.

I'd like to see a good fic with

Spike tie him up and flog him, but even with the whip in Spike's hand, Angel is still the one in charge

that. I like it when people mess with the top and bottoms concept. Also, Angel is so sexy when he manages to be in control while in a position of complete submission.

*marries the ep "Soulless". Even though it was Angelus*

This one uses a piece of glass, not a whip, but the idea is the same: Fool's Gold by kita0610. There's also a companion piece from Spike's POV, Indulgence, by poisoninjest.

Thank you! I hadn't read that one yet.

I don't know what I'll do when I finally read all the stories by my favorite authors. By then, maybe I'll be able to start again.
