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?

And if only toppy!Buffy in B/A was done enough to be a cliche! There seem to be way to many dom!Angel fics in B/A.

palepale skin

But only when it's marble white chest and hard, like a statue in Rome. Just once I want a chest that's paper white and hard like an formica countertop.

Buffy and Darla's hair color

I like that too. Especially when Angel notices it all over again when one or the other (or both of them) are . . . well, when they're in a position for him to really get a good view of their hair color.

I'm not the only one who's noticed that? Phew. Because...dude. She's an assertive little thing and I'm pretty sure Angel loves that about as much as I do. ;)

*snerk* I tend to overdo paper-white, actually. It's another secret shame.

It might be that it seems like a lot of emphatic B/Aers like dommy men (myself included, both in the B/Aers and the domness). And I've loved a lot of stories with Dom!Angel and kinda!sub!Buffy. But it still strikes me as rather OOC most of the time.

See, there isn't enough paper-white in my book. It must be a cliche kink of mine. Because vamps are incredibly pale. Very pale. Paler than most people.

God, I need to resurrect my Angel/Oz icon. Yes.
