Bending spoons

[resonant]

I was talking about a story I read once in which someone licked someone's eardrum. I said I was surprised that I hadn't seen that sort of thing in Night Vale fandom, where prehensile tongues aren't ruled out by canon. And king_touchy commented:

Oh god, just by writing that out you likely caused exactly that fic to spontaneously exist.

And, you know, it's probably true. Reality is malleable, and fandom doubly so. Who knows what I've let loose on the world with the power of my imagination!

With that in mind, let's try to use that power for good! With the power of my mind, I'm causing the following stories to burst spontaneously into existence:

1. A story in which, while two people are falling in love, one of them washes the other's hair.
   
   
2. A story in which one character says, "That feels so incredible. I don't even know what you're doing to me," and the other one tells him.
   
   
3. A story with the line: "No. I don't want you to have what you want. What you want is to be safe from me."
   
   
4. A story where a buttoned-up character only lets his emotions out when the other one can't respond -- say, talking into a hidden earpiece during a stakeout.
   
   
5. A story where two people with an intense and difficult relationship go fishing together, sitting back-to-back on a cooler.
   
   
6. A kiss in a kitchen.

I find it very difficult to keep my characters out of the kitchen when kissing/sex is happening. They always want to get right down to it without retiring to the boudoir. I just read a Kirk/Spock fic where there was hairwashing, although it was about 100k words in. Number 2, I'm all up for some competent taking control or some dirty talk, but it has to be the right kind. If not, and it's a fine line, nothing puts me off faster. And number 4, I love it when the characters can't talk and all there is to do it listen.

Yes, these stories need to exist. But you likely caused exactly that fic to spontaneously exist - oh man, if only it were that easy!

Dirty talk is definitely a fine line for me, too, and a lot of the people who like it seem also to like erotic humiliation, which I don't care for. It's one of those things I read with one eye open and a finger on the Back button.

I love it when the characters can't talk and all there is to do it listen.

Yes! Extra-fun when the character in question normally dominates every conversation.
