This is not in defense of something I wrote, but of something that was written for me. A fic I enjoyed reading, where the author basically did exactly what I asked them to do. People don't usually make stuff for me, even when the request is anonymous, so I was pretty happy with what I got.

So why do I feel like my appreciation for this effort is being mocked by some random other person? )

Jack Benjamin gets sent to war, held hostage, and has to be rescued by his best friend again.
( I know this isn't meant terribly literally, it's more of a reference to the fact that they're played by the same actor).

Steve and Bucky (and we're talking mostly about the 2011 movie here) certainly have a David and Jonathan vibe. But more in the traditional Bible sense, not as much the "Kings" version. Bucky starts out as Steve's protector, the confident, successful one. Steve has the heart of a warrior but no one wants him on the battlefield. And then when Steve eclipses him via Deus ex Machina, and becomes a potent national rallying symbol in war time, Bucky, just like Jonathan, graciously deals with it like a grownup and accepts his supporting role because he loves him that much. As anyone who has seen Kings knows, this is not how Jack Benjamin reacted to David being praised as the hero while he was given a desk job and told the hostage situation was his own fault. He's not at all proud of David for turning out to be just as awesome on the outside as he always knew David was inside.

He didn't...actually know David before David rescued him )


I'd like to mention that that hot fic I linked to earlier, it's gone. This makes me sad and disappointed and a little freaked out. Why is it gone? What happened?

So, I don't think I'm the only one whose mind almost goes to a dirty place in the "kiss the ground I walk on" scene. If Kings had lasted more than one season and into the Tumblr era, there'd be a Confessions blog and that would undoubtedly be a popular Confession.

But I think Silas/Jack dub con is a little gross. I'm over parent/child (and I say that as probably one of the only people to ever write a threesome involving Saul and Jonathan, but they're all about the third person in that and never really touch each other).

Look, I don't have to justify where I draw the line or why I used to not draw that line in other fandoms but now draw it everywhere.

So I'd read it but with someone else sitting in that chair.

David? No, I don't think he'd do that, not even at his most corrupt but if they were alone and it was part of a semi consensual game of some sort, where David's like, "you're mine now, sorry but that's just the way the world's gonna work now since I'm king and you're not" and Jack's like "This upsets me but I also sort of dig it because I was into you long before you were into me but no way am I admitting that out loud, I'm just trying to protect my family- I HATELOVE you so much you bastard", a story which I'd totally accept instead. David loves that family, it'd have to be a dark timeline indeed for him to treat them with anything less than total dignity and respect in front of other people. He'll just make Jack pay and pay in private.

This song should somehow be involved. Because if ever there was a "Kings" song, that's it.


Oh, this is only barely related and total mood whiplash, but it's hilarious.

Why is it that so much of the really inventive kinky porn for his characters is in the Captain America fandom?

Don't get me wrong, I am loving a lot of what I've found there and yet...I would not otherwise be interested in reading Captain America fanfic if Bucky Barnes was played by someone else. The idea that there might be more fic in volume, I get, but I don't get why one fandom is kinkier than others.

Why is something like this what I found in the Captain America section and not...?

I think the "Kings" fandom was a little nervous about going to truly unusual places. Understandable, I guess, but I've been going to weird places with those characters with gleeful abandon for years pot induced threesomes and discipline relationship AUs that I forget for some people, it's hard enough to adjust to the idea of basic D/J porn.

Well, and that's not to say the Once fans are un kinky. There are a lot of filthy prompts on their kink meme but a significant majority of the over 100 pages of prompts are still unfilled. People have ideas but they don't seem interested in following through. It's disappointing, after the great experience I remember with the A Team kink meme. Maybe it's because OUaT is such a femslash heavy fandom, the m/m isn't as much of a focus- but, you know, het prompts that aren't Rumbelle would also be okay.
