Shouldn't it more properly be a self-insertion HOLE?

Lindsey: Why--why did you... Lorne: One last job. You're not part of the solution, Lindsey. You never will be. Lindsey: You kill me? A flunky?! I'm not just...Angel...kills me. You...Angel... Lorne: Good night, folks.

A topic for the discussion of Doctor Who, Arrow, and The Flash. Beware possible invasions of iZombie, Sleepy Hollow, or pretty much any other "genre" (read: sci fi, superhero, or fantasy) show that captures our fancy. Expect adult content and discussion of the Big Gay Sex.
Marvel superheroes are discussed over at the MCU thread.

Every now and then, I think I might actually be a little odd.
Basically, 70% (totally scientifical-kinda number I just pulled out of my ass) of all Thor / Avengers hetfic (which appears to be what I am into right now) feature Darcy and a good half of them appear to be Darcy/Loki.
Oh, you KNOW why! It's being written by young girls who identify with Darcy - Darcy is a built-in Mary Sue, they don't even have to write one! And they want to redeem Loki because he's just misunderstood and treated badly by his dad!
I can read no more fic on Tumblr, ever

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.
Though, if you're gonna self-insert, why DEREK?
If so many things, why Derek? I hadn't noticed how often the script points out he's a rampant failure either. Still, I think hobnobbing with Peter is both another example of him being a failure, and if it's remotely justifiable it's to try and redeem his epic fail.

I was directed to this page in the AfterElton slash tourney because it has D/C on it, but...I can't vote for nu!Kirk/Spock over TOS Kirk/Spock. That seems so unfair.
Everything else (on that page) was an easy vote, just to try and not show up just for my OTP.

The Firefly slash pairing in that tourney is Simon/Mal. Was that a thing?

It was kinda *my* thing, in a small way, not that I stumbled across very many (or good) writings of that pairing. Mal/Jayne and Jayne/Simon was bigger.

Mal/Jayne and Jayne/Simon
They seem like they would be more obvious pairings to me.

Why does Jayne get all the ass action?
I'm actually going to vote Mal/Simon as more interesting than Simon/Jayne, for sure. Jury's out on Mal/Jayne.
I liked the new Trek movie plenty, but and I really don't like Shatner, but I just can't vote for recent K/S over the original version. It just seems...heretical.
Putting Destiel against Wincest is tidy, and cruel.

I think maybe because Jayne fucking anybody seems like an easy way to go? Jayne likes sex. Jayne will have teh sex with anyone you want, including River and Kaylee. I liked the Mal/Simon for the butting of heads between two completely different types of type A personalities.

But...who has sex with Jayne? That makes even less sense than Derek, because he's not that cute.
