This Friday's Fannish5:
Five fic clichesyou're embarrassed to admit* you love.
1.) Using sex to drown out emotional noise.
2.) "I have to get you out of these wet clothes! And snuggle with you. And share body heat! Because your life is in danger! P.S. I love you and I think we should bone."
3.) Drunken/feverish confessions.
4.) Forced proximity like whoa. All varients. Trapped in a elevator! There's only one bed! Hiding in a closet! All are welcome here.
5.) Pretend!dating. Undercover!lovers. Etc.
Now I'm really sad that there doesn't seem to an active cliche bingo around. Because I would sign up in a hot minute.
*Fandom has no place for that thing normal people call shame.

ALWAYS FANTASTIC!
I am also a fan of SOMETHING TRAUMATIC HAS HAPPENED, LET ME HAVE SEX WITH YOU TO STOP IT FROM HURTING - OH, WHY AM I CHOOSING YOU? NO REASON. JUST CAUSE. LET THE SEXING COMMENCE!
no subject
The snuggling together to keep warm is one of my favourites.
no subject
I AM SO SIGNING UP FOR THAT.

Drunken/feverish confessions.
So...I don't know if you got through S2 of LOST or stopped at S1 but Sawyer has a GR8 feverish confession.

I'm also down with *I love you but (insert angsty circumstance) is keeping us apart.* Particularly if the angsty circumstance happens to be *we are enemies/on opposite sides of a conflict*
no subject
As long as the thing keeping them apart makes sense that is would, I am down for it.

ESPIONAGE FICTION THANK YOU FOR ALL THAT YOU ARE and also for confusing my life goals enough that I have had to talk myself out of trying to be a spy because it's actually not the same at all you know seriously.
no subject
ZOMG WHERE CAN I FIND THIS?!?! :D (I'm not even entirely sure I care what fandom. Just GUH.)

Agreed!
And I totally second the request for any:
whatever in love are acting out this violent or victimizing scene and nobody knows but them that they're doing it for the thrill of putting their lives in each other's hands.
of this type of fic.

It's probably a good think I am legit terrible at languages or I likely would have tried to be a spy.
no subject
I am not great with languages but I keep convincing myself that I am, which is why I'm teaching myself Russian right now. And I've also taken the Foreign Service Officers Test to get into the State Department, and have applied to the CIA several times, and at this point I'm about to get into a graduate program in International Affairs that has a high rate of recruitment to jobs in intelligence. I don't even genuinely want to be a spy and carry out some nationalistic colonialist mission through foreign gossip-gathering but I can't seem to stop myself. Sydney Bristow, I met you at an impressionable time in my life.

Frankly, I'm jealous of that kind of direction. My life could use a bit more of that.
