well, my embarrassing occasional pairing is Willow/Giles.

Fan Fiction II: Great story! Where's the sequel?
This thread is for fanfic recs, links, and discussion, but not for actual posting of fanfic.
When I first started reading Buffy fic I read a great number of really bad Willowsue/Spike fics and, well, enjoyed them. I found one I'd liked recently and read it -- it was just bad. I don't know why I thought those were good.
I've read that too, esp. about season seven...I'm so cheap, but at least I'm not alone. I read a fair amount of Faith/Spike too, just cause it's shiny.
There was Rory/Paris on the show. Okay, only very briefly.
Heh. Sort of. Least sexy girl/girl kiss in the history of ever. I really do want Paris to decide to explore sapphic sexuality eventually, though, because I can just imagine Rory freaking out about it. It's really funny in my head.
I don't think I'm ashamed of any of my occasional pairings, but there's very little I don't/won't read. I tend to not read any Spikefic, unless someone I know and trust wrote it, and I pretty much won't read Spike/Buffy these vdays, though I'll occasionally write it.
And while I've tried it, Angel/Cordy squicks me even harder than Buffy/Giles.
Rory/Paris is an awesome pairing.
What's everybody's most shameful OTP?
Shameful...shameful...
You kind of need shame for that.
I get the shame sometimes because my college friends don't understand the whole fandom/fic thing. So when I tell them that I not only watch the Gilmore Girls, but commonly imagine two of the girls in it getting together, one of whom they probably don't even think is hot and the other of whom is mostly annoying on the show (sorry, Rory), then, well...
Yeah. Shame. Guess I do get a little of it now and again.
I sometimes feel kind of shameful that I want to read fic with Jessie from Once and Again, but I really just want more story of her, not anything perverse. Of course, one way I could do that would be actually get the chance to see seasons 2 and 3 (especially 3, I think, for Jessie), which may finally come true soon: Season 2 is actually getting released on DVD this year. (!)
I've got some Buffy/Giles stored safely on my hard drive, where no one can take it away from me in a fit of "that's dreadfully inappropriate." One or two WillowSue/Spikes survived a recent purge, as well.
Any time I get wrapped up in thinking some character/me I get embarrassed, but I don't write those. Just think about them in the shower. I think I'll read Bayliss/Anyone, damn near.
