two subjects that could not be more unrelated

[schmerica]

I don't remember how old I was the first time I read To Kill a Mockingbird, but I know that I must have been in grade school, and I was young enough that I didn't have any more idea than Scout what "rape" meant and had to look it up in the dictionary. I've read the book (the same now-quite-ratty paperback) at least a half-dozen times since the first time, and it's still one of my favorite books of all time. It was only last night, though, talking with ficbyzee that it occurred to me that Atticus Finch is probably the source and template for every character kink I have: the complex good character, with the deep down sense of decency that can't be eroded.

*sigh*

Hi, this makes SO MUCH SENSE of every character I have ever loved beyond reason.

I'm trying to think of a transition here to make this entry less jarring, but I really don't have one, so you're just going to have to accept that I'm going from talking about Atticus Finch to talking about incest porn within two paragraphs. I APOLOGIZE AND KNOW I WILL PAY FOR THIS IN HELL.

Anyway, you all know I have an incest kink, yeah? It is not a big secret around here. So I went into Supernatural kind of expecting to see it, considering what the fandom's preferences are, and -- nothing. I got no vibes at all. They're all brotherly and shit.

Except, you know, when I think about? I can't think of any brother/brother incest pairings that click for me. I mean, Don/Charlie on Numb3rs is the other popular one lately, and meh. Sister/sister will get to me occasionally, but not exceedingly often, but really? Hetcest. That's the one that does it for me EVERY SINGLE TIME, bar none. Brilliant hetcest is especially dear (Simon/River! Margot/Richie! Violet/Klaus! Etc!), but really, even when it's not, I'm still likely to be a goner.

I have no actually conclusion here; it's just randomly interesting to me!

(Hee, talking about incest is making me nostalgic for Arrested Development. SECOND BASE!)

... there's Violet/Kaus fic? :: whimpers ::

...

Totally understand about Aticus. I have a few archatypes like that. For me, it's the older teacher / messed up student dynamic thing that gets me every time. I think I got it from the Herald Mage Triliogy.

*blink*

Now do you mean Tylendel/Vanyel, Vanyel/Stefan, or some less canonical pairing?

[mousewrites.livejournal.com]

Well, though I *adore* both of those pairings, it was the hawkbrothers and vanyel that I always fantisized about.

I'm going to the special hell.

[lorem_ipsum]

Heh. Y'know, I didn't spend a lot of time thinking about that, but I totally agree that it could have happened.

She just glosses over so much of their training, and I had bad bad visons of them healing him in other manners, as well...

::smacks self:: no, not going to think about it...

::thinking about it::

[lorem_ipsum]

All I'm sayin' is, that scene in which Vanyel first meets Moondance? Definitely some flirting there.

[mousewrites.livejournal.com]

totally.

... and I know that that book influenced my writing, because the multiteared bath showed up in my big stupid HP fic...

Of course, there's lots of sex in MY bathroom... hee hee...

There's this, Normal by sarafu (http://www.yuletidetreasure.org/archive/15/normal.html). I know there are more out there, but I can't remember where right now. (I do remember there being some pretty awful ones on adultfanfic.net. No, I don't know why I was looking there.)
