On my seventh birthday, I wanted a toy fire truck, and I didn't get it, and you were real nice about it, and then the house next door burnt down, and then real firetrucks came, and for years I thought you set the fire for me. And if you did, you can tell me!

Or we could just be Rabelaisian, but I think there are side-effects to that I don't want to explore.
Just being artsy.

Unusually and exceedingly peculiar and altogether quite impossible to describe

Yes, and it's WONDERFUL. I recommended it over in the BItch thread.
It's good on both how to write naughty bits AND writing in general. And sexuality in general.

Such a great line! I know that fic well. In fact, I think I suggested Susie Bright to the author, while I was doing sort-of-beta.
