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?

Hmmm.

Spike dressing Xander in anything other than, you know, Xandery orange. Buffy and Angel eating in bed. Faith teasing Willow about secretly having a crush on her, which, of course, Willow does. Spike mocking Angel's hair/clothing/accent/job/past/present/future and then kissing him. Um...I know there have got to be cliches I love...wtf are they? Spike/Xander fic with a subplot with Buffy and Angel have managed to live happily ever after and have Shanshu'd or mystical babies. *has no shame*

Of course she does. What saddens me is that I hadn't realized it before this very moment.

*has no shame*

Which is the point, really. I love me my mystical babies.

I am so tempted to write a multi-chap, mondo plotty Faith/Willow fic that I have to keep reminding myself of my WiP and fic obligations that come first.

*kisses mystical babies*

Beating fic authors who dangle interesting fics they're not going to-write-yet with a tempting stick is another kink of mine.

I do hope you write it one day.

That's just an excuse for me to nudge you toward my Willow/Faith one shot, you know. Nudge: Sweet Tart

Oh! Thanks!

You know, there are several of your fics just waiting for me to partake (they're on a list of goodies). I'm looking forward to reading them.
