[livejournal.com profile] littera_abactor has written an absolutely hilarious Aliens Made Them Do Something Other Than The Usual Slash Cliches story here. Stargate, with the best butchering of the English language I have ever read.

Also, if you haven't read all the comments on the Aliens Made Them Do It post, don't miss them, because there are fabulous comment stories by [livejournal.com profile] makesmewannadie, [livejournal.com profile] _aerye_, [livejournal.com profile] brighidestone, [livejournal.com profile] marinarusalka, [livejournal.com profile] valarltd, [livejournal.com profile] pandarus, and me. It's like a mini-fest!

Alien recs

[livejournal.com profile] saridout and [livejournal.com profile] _inbetween_ evidently haven't consumed their recommended daily allowance of "Aliens make them do it" stories, so here's a small collection of my favorites. I welcome other recs!

Blake's 7 (Avon/Tarrant): Duty by Pat Jacquerie. Long and hot and hits nearly every kink I've got; this is one of my most-often-re-read stories.

Stargate Atlantis (Sheppard/McKay): Proof by Contradiction by [livejournal.com profile] astolat

Stargate SG1 (Jack/Daniel): Objectives by [livejournal.com profile] astolat

Voyager (Paris/Torres/Kim): Epiphany by Merri-Todd Webster (aliens aren't the first cause, but they have input)

Voyager (Chakotay/Paris): First Contact by Ruth Devero (this is a pose-as-slaves story)

Who on earth wrote that Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy slash? It was called Aliens Make Ford and Arthur Have Sex, and I thought it was at Yuletide, but I can't find it.

For obvious reasons, these stories are a lot more common in sci-fi universes than in realistic or magical ones. In Harry Potter I suppose the equivalent would be "Death Eaters force them to have sex" -- those usually hit my torture squick, but I quite liked [livejournal.com profile] icarusancalion's Ron/Draco story, Beg Me For It.

I'm very fond of "Aliens made them do it" stories. Considered as smut, they've got a lot going for them -- easy method of getting reluctant characters who think they're straight to go to bed together, nice insta-angst afterwards.

Sometimes, though, I can't stop myself from considering them not as smut but as stories.

And then I start thinking: Aliens only ever want slash characters to do four things: Be (or pose as) master and slave; ingest intoxicants; fight; or fuck.

Why not something really useful? Carry water, chop wood, build stuff?

Or something genuinely entertaining? Dance? Sing?

Or, for unfathomable alien reasons, crochet?
