Guilty Pleasures

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

[livejournal.com profile] 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, [livejournal.com profile] 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 [livejournal.com profile] 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?

Um, yeah.

For me it's definitely "I don't care how many other people misuse it, I still like it if it's done right". I can sorta, kinda, maybe admit to maybe liking some of these cliches. On occasion. Depending on who writes them.

Growly "Mine!" Yes.
"Mate". Yes.
B/A = soulmates. Yes.
The secret exchange of Clauddagh wedding rings? Sometimes, yes.
Mossy green and chocolate eyes? Sure. Why not?
Vanilla Buffy? Yep. I happen to like the scent of vanilla, and I can believe she would too.
And pregnant Buffy - with Angel's child. Seems totally improbable, but theoretically, so does Connor in canon. So why not if done right.

Honey flavored spunk... ew.
Angle instead of Angel? Drives me to distraction. Not in a good way.

Clamping pussy muscles around rampant cock... eh, can work but really depends on how it's written. I can't write good smut, so I especially appreciate it when others do.

Other cliche kinks that I dig sometimes:
Angel's sketchbook. I like stories that feature Angel/us's drawings.
Buffy being "marked" by Angel.

Only if you don't like honey!

Clamping pussy muscles around rampant cock...

I hate the word "rampant" to describe cock. Rampant means "extending without stopping" or "occuring frequently without restraint." Cock might grow when man is aroused. But it will not continue to grow. That word is for the growth of weeds. You could even use it for thrusts--"her hips moved to meet his rampant [occuring frequently] thrusts", but not for cock itself.

Sorry, this has always drived me bonkers.

Angel's sketchbook. I like stories that feature Angel/us's drawings.

Me too! Now, this is a really guilty admission, but I wanted to write a fic featuring the sketchbook . . . and I actually started doing drawings for it. One day, I shall have to post my shame ;o)
