Wow...my initial guess was West Wing fanfic. Couldn't have been farther off, huh?
And ITA with erika that Matt's idea is a story.
'Underneath'
There's more to life than watching Buffy the Vampire Slayer! No. Really, there is! Honestly! Here's a place for Buffistas to come and discuss what it is they're reading, their favorite authors and poets. "Geez. Crack a book sometime."

Definitely not limited to that, but I can see where that would be top notch fodder.
Oh, I didn't mean fan fic. I thought it was a canonical X-Men character. Why I thought that, I don't know, because I haven't read X-Men or seen the films.

It is. Warren Worthington III a.k.a. Angel. You might have seen him in the trailer for the new one. [link]
You might have seen him in the trailer for the new one.That's probably it, Jon. Thank you.

That's OK, I thought it was jet airplane fanfic a la TOP GUN. I guess that could be Tail Fic too.
the other character must show them they are beautiful via sexual intercourse (sometimes in midair).
None of you has pointed out the hilarious understatement of the above. Really, I don't think Evelyn Waugh could be drier. (Not that Evelyn Waugh could even dream of such a concept.)

That was my thought -- something vaguely military, with planes.
For what it's worth, Patterson's books don't *seem* to be slashy, though, although I certainly can't vouch for the subtext.

I thought that was a furry thing.

It all depends on how you interpret the line "You can ride my tail anytime."
Sorry I posted but forgot an explanation of wingfic.
These books have no slashy subtext, the characters with wings are genetically engineered kids grown in a secret, secluded lab (some place secluded enough where they could learn to fly) for some purpose I've forgotten. One kid escapes, crashes, and is found by a veteranarian who helps the kid free the other winged kids. And they go live somewhere, keeping their wings a secret.
There's a sequel, The Lake House, which I've never read. The first time I saw the trailer for the movie Lake House I kept trying to figure out how the winged kids fit into the love story.
It's been awhile since I read the first one, but I finished it just out of morbid fascination, it was one of those WTF books.
