schmericaOne thing I never seem to get tired of: sleep.
That was not meant to be a pun. Nor do I mean actual, physical sleep -- though God knows I can't get enough of that, either. No, I'm thinking of stories. There's something about sleep I find endlessly fascinating.
Like, dude, the most cursory glance at my stories, I get Ray waking up next to Fraser. Fraser waking up next to Ray. Fraser falling asleep in an empty hotel room. Fraser flashing back to Ray's wake-up routine. Fraser falling asleep listening to Ray and Dief. Ray falling asleep after post-apocalyptic comfort sex. Fraser and the vague discomfort of Ray's bed. Bedtime stories. The unspoken importance of beds. Not to mention all the various related stuff in my lj memories and flashfiction. And god knows in Firefly, I haven't written anything River-centric that isn't intimately connected with sleep and nightmares and crawling into people's beds.
So, yes. That's actually kind of scary to look at -- got a theme much? -- but the fact that I abuse it doesn't make it any less interesting to read from other people. Falling asleep the first time together; waking up for the first time next to a person; waking up with the other person gone, or bustling around the room or apartment or house; doing either when they've done it with each other eight million times; waking up in the middle of the night for sex, or to talk, or to leave; any other variations of these themes.
I'm not sure, but I think it might possible be really damn sad that SLEEP is apparently one of my major kinks. *facepalm*
Um. I think I'll go to bed now.
