Guilty Pleasures
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?

I wish I'd been around when people were announcing their shameful loves, because I loved reading this list.
I was just surprised that when I read Stulti's list, I was so embarrassed by liking "Mine!" and "little hands." I didn't get why I would be embarrassed by something I liked, and it made me wonder. I don't mind people mocking it; I just want to be comfortable with admitting that I liked it, too.
I especially like 5. on your list (about Spuffy sometimes being hotter than B/A when it's all rough). Now that's something I hadn't even thought about admitting, but it's definitely true with me. I think part of it is that no matter how dark, rough and painful B/A fic can be, I believe that they'll always love each other, and if they begin to engage in behavior that I think would seriously damage each others' psyche, I get turned off and worried about them. But when it comes to Spike and Buffy, I'm not so sensitive about what they might or might not do to each other (correction, I am. I can't really imagine them making sensitive, tender love. That would turn me off and make me worry about them, too. ;o) But generally, my imagination allows them to explore more kinks (esp. set during S6) because I think they don't care about each other in the way B/A do.
