Well, there's some acrobatics.

Opening her eyes, Nikita smiled, rubbed herself on his burgeoning ego, and exclaimed, “Exactly.”

You have made my morning. Hee!

If I only had a brain...

Arrrgh. I don't know why, but I'm involved in an argument with somebody who says slash = bad K/S. I said I don't read K/S, but I damn well do know good A/S. (Kirk/Spock, Angel/Spike).

What's the one A/S story you'd rec to somebody to say "not romantic, well-written, convincing"? I'm leaning toward Te, Kita, or Lar, but I can't make up my mind.

Unusually and exceedingly peculiar and altogether quite impossible to describe

I'm crazy about Kita's Binding Angel/Binding Spike, but they're really dark and also kinky, so maybe not the best proof of slashy *good*ness.

I'm confused, Betsy. This person thinks that all slash is Kirk/Spock?

Cause, dood. Come out of the 60s.

"Mister Spock is on his fanny, sir. Reports heavy damage."

Oh, Suela, I can't tell you where to start on this discussion. It was the kind of incoherent yammering of the peanut gallery that one might hope to avoid, or anyway, upon which one might hope to impose a dictionary and the convention of raising one's hand when it is one's turn.

Huh. Dunno. Some of the ones I like:

Big Exit, by amerella. Also Dig My Earth.

Manus, by Kita.

Quiet Familiars, by Violet.

Miles To Go, by Rachel Anton.

Back in Your Bed, by Jennifer-Oksana.

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

Okay, so SailAweigh posted a pic of JM in a tux that was posted on the domain colddeadseed, which made me google the phrase, which made me land on an old thread titled Cold Dead Seed and Other Attrocities [sic] : Badfic on another forum.

People in that thread are admitting to badfic Buffyverse things they like, like Spike purring, or pregnant Buffy ...

So I wondered ... anyone here like any badfic things? Buffyverse, or otherwise?

The only thing that comes right to mind is Nikitaverse fic that's mean to Nikita. But the flip side of those fics seemed to be unreasoning Michael adulation, and I couldn't quite get past that.

I'm scared to think of others.

I'm guessing it's this conversation, Suela.
