Okay, so I haven't done the last two week's fannish5, because two weeks ago, my answers to the question (Five reasons you only get into one fandom at a time - or - five reasons you are multi-fannish") just didn't parse nicely into five answers, and this week's (Name five imaginary places you would like to go on vacation) frustrated me, because honestly, the places I'd like to go would require me to be printed with special skills to not die.
So, I'm making my own questions and posing it to you.
So, flist, tell me five of your bulletproof kinks in storytelling.
I talk about a lot of them here, but I'm going to give you five more, to start the ball rolling:
1.) Nakama.
2.) Gender-reversals. Everything I'm really digging right now has some nice gender reversals deep in the text.
3.) Complicated father-daughter relationships. (See, Jack and Sydney Bristow, Keith and Veronica Mars, Noah and Shiloh from Repo!) This ties into the idea of gender reversals. So many author just focus on the whole father/son dynamic.
4.) Glasses. Especially hot, dark hair guys with glasses.
5.) Romance with an equal. I like contrast between two people in a pairing, but I also want them to also be equals in some kind of root way. Zuko and Katara are actually a really good example of this. Despite their sociocultural and (initial) nationalistic differences, they're very similar in a lot of deep ways (importance of family, the ways they decide to protect their family, a total disrespect of other people's property....)

Yeah, the lack of teasing is surprising - but her childhood is already SO HARD to read that I don't think I could have taken anything more than what we got. And I do like that she realized how sensitive she was - when she saw the body of the guy that was flirting with her, she talks about he meant to be kind, and she wished she'd spent some time with him.
