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?

*g* I loved reading that list. (Faith/RWWiRW? Color me curious...)

I think you're very right. I think I've been guilty of apologizing or feeling embarassed for liking certain things that I like, but I don't know why and I really shouldn't be. I think I'm going to start being more aware of when I have that sort of reaction, and tell myself to STFU. If everyone liked the same thing, the world would be a very dull place!

Hee, Faith/RWWIRW is an old joke between myself and marenfic. We were talking about writing a fic (that is now "Come Undone" our WIP) and we mentioned that Faith should have her own guy. Somehow we came up with a Watcher who would look like Will from Alias. So, Faith/Random Watcher Who Is Really Will was born. :D

We are the biggest dorks ever.

I completely agree with you about the world being very boring if everyone agreed. I used to apologize for liking certain things. I don't anymore because as long as *I* like it, what does it matter what anyone else thinks?

Is it gonna be Faith/Whit!??!! *bounces* Whit looks like Will in my head, anyway. He is blonde and blue eyed, right?

Btw, I'm lovin' that fic. I still haven't left fb for the last chapter, but I wanted to let you know I'm still waiting on tenter hooks for the next chapter.

With whatever tenter hooks are.
