If you haven't seen the previews for Torchwood 2.1 and don't want to know anything feel free to skip. Otherwise, I weep with joy, this is so pretty.
Mom! Dead people are talking to you. Do the math!

Now let us crush something soft and watch it fountain blood. That is a girlish thing to want to do, yes?
There's a whole sub-genre of this?
There's an ep of the original Star Trek series where this exact plot happens, because apparently there is nothing so cracktastically ficcy-fabulous that Roddenberry couldn't dream of it first -- and it's just so much more fun to imagine Spock getting all goofy and schmoopy about Kirk than about the random chick in the ep... and, yeah. It kinda got to be a thing.
More generally, it could be sex tea or sex phase of the moon or, really, anything that serves as an excuse for a shameless bit of "I don't know what happened -- we just suddenly couldn't control ourselves!!!1!" silliness.
I'm never gonna be able to watch The Wizard of Oz the same ever ever ever.
t snif I'm so proud.

Sex pollen is common in Stargate fic, too, when our intrepid heros wind up on a planet and get hit with sex pollen. Aliensmadethemdoit is also a useful plot crutch. Lots of "we can't trust you unless you boink with us/each other/all of the above" kind of rituals. Most of it's silly, a lot of it's funny as heck, some of it is damned good.

Sadly, it's so. Most of us have blocked it out.

See car-preg (and I haven't read it) seems like Moya being pregnant, so it doesn't bother me so much.

The feeling you get when your brain finally lets your heart get in its pants.
The best car-preg was the one with the Impala and John's truck though.

I’d be lying if I didn’t say that I miss them all tonight…

I love that one. That one makes me smile, for it is the very best kind of crack. The Dom Perignon of crack.

I think that was the first ever SPN fic I read. I thought it was charming.

My boundaries are mutable. I may be able to Go There in one fandom and not another. It all depends on the characters and how I relate to them.
This is me.
More generally, it could be sex tea or sex phase of the moon or, really, anything that serves as an excuse for a shameless bit of "I don't know what happened -- we just suddenly couldn't control ourselves!!!1!" silliness.
See also, Aliens Made Us Do It! Or angry spirits, or whatever gets you through the night depending on your fandom.
Me, I'm fond of the various variations of the classic cave-in, or trapped in an enclosed space. Ooo! Or huddle together for warmth, that's a good set up. You can combine it with the former, see also, the Canadian Shack challenge.
