Please tell me she didn't mean it in a writing-his-name-in-the-snow way...

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.

Oh, the temptation to reply "Pics or it didn't happen!" That would make for a delightfully cracky porn fanart.

Next chapter of OUaT alt-s4 in Buffista Fic. In this part, someone from the movie actually appears onscreen!(On-panel? On-page?)

I just read a post on the reality of gay sex, and now I'm flinching before every 1-2-3 finger lube warmup and every standard component.

Of course he hasn't had all the sex, but fic sex (at least in D/C) is very standard in the steps it goes through.

I am the fly who dreams of the spider

I've discovered Tabi_essentually, and she is grand. The nuance, depth, and foreshadowing, not mention the genuine flashes of humour and the hit but not explicit sex ( I won't say sex scenes, because they are scenes that happen to have sex in them, but are not a primary aspect of any "scene".

I'm probably 300k into the story, and it could all end badly soon, but so far I haven't been disappointed.

Love the background for Arthur (Brick) and super love the non-needy relationship between A and E. The subtle contrasts to Mal and Dom.

Also, the whump and following h/c is teh best. Because the h/c is not a prelude to porn, and the whump isn't either.

I've probably just doomed the rest of the fic to pissing me off.

Next chapter of alt-S4 OUaT is in Buffista Fic. Last chance to write before the actual season starts! In this chapter, Prince Jan sings the Exposition Song in a minor key, and Emma discovers they're making a detour into a completely different fairy tale.

There's an SPN author who puts the same OC into all her stories. I think I'm making too much about it, but a lot of the pull of the mythos for me is isolation, and for her to put in a tall long-haired goodlooking guy called Jet (short for Jethro Tull) into every single story (I'm now reading a Weechester story that's disturbing the zen by making Cas a mystery brother Dean's age and so Dean & Sam is well different). It's a long story, and she has me only because I want to see if these are my prejudices and the story succeeds nonetheless.

But how do you feel about recurring OCs (Jet! Seriously!)?
