Parenthetical!Cindy has me laughing too hard to cut and paste.

So, I'm reading COMM and DH is reading over my shoulder, and asks "What's Willow/Giles fic?". I do my best to explain. He gets to "there's Transformers slash" and says:

Well of course there is! They are more than meets the eye, after all.

And now he's pondering the best search terms for googling for it.

I blame Cindy.

Or society. Whichever.

Cindy is patently EVIL, of course.

of course since the COMM got me back reading this thread I came upon this:

I mean, I'm nearly as fond of Lindsey as most of the Spike fanatics are of their boy, but my reaction was always "Throttle him some more, Angel! Wheeee!"

And can't stop smiling.

(There's not Willow/Giles fic, is there? Oh, man that was a stupid question, for heaven's sake, I've had people—and let me stress this was completely against my will—prove to me that there's Transformers' slash, of course there's Willow/Giles fic.)

There is, I am told, Buffy/Giles fic. It creeps me out more than words can express.

I blame Cindy.

Me too.

Cindy is patently EVIL, of course.

*Nods head in agreement*

There is, I am told, Buffy/Giles fic.

It's not immediately obvious that there would be? Electra complexes are even more popular than Oedipus complexes for fiction purposes, and Giles is a father-figure if ever there was. Besides, he's hot.

The only Buffy/Giles fic I've personally read that I really enjoy was part of Destination Unknown, and it explains it pretty well as not-creepy. Lots of time between canon and when the story occurs.

Still, if not-quite-father/daughter was my kink, Buffy/Giles would be pretty much perfect. I have no quibbles.

It's a pretty large niche 'ship, in point of fact. Not in the least obscure, though not to the size of, say, Buffy/Giles.

Sadly, I've been hanging out in DC comics fandom for so long now that none of this squicks me anymore.

Well, once we find out that a canonical character is actually a Superman/Lex Luthor love-child, the idea of getting squicked by the fanfiction becomes pretty ridiculous.

In Outsiders alone, you have Lex, taunting the Joker about Bats liking Catwoman better, and Grace musing about the erotic potential of Nightwing and Arsenal.

One of the things to love about the Crack Generator (a random pairing/situation creator that Livia set up) is that a decent number of the situations that it gives out have actually happened.

and let's not forget the 15' secondary sex penis.
