"Intimate Psychotherapy" *wink wink nudge nudge*

Trope Meme:

Comment with a trope and I’ll give you my opinions on it. You can ask questions (as vague or specific as you like!), talk about examples, etc, etc. Then I’ll ask you about a trope.

And while we're on the subject of tropes, can I just say.... okay, look, I know that 'healing cock' gets a lot of dissing, and I understand why, BUT to be honest, I felt the sex is often pretty pivotal to my enjoyment of hurt/comfort (which I love). Like, after the hurt, I really do want to see boning, or some sexually laden act 90% of the time.

For example, I was reading this pretty decent Clint/Darcy fic in which Darcy had past emotional trauma and I was getting super into it, and there was this total slow burn thing going on, and Darcy was trusting Clint more and more, and Clint was being super-patient and expressing his lust and affection in ways make Darcy feel safe and then.... they hold hands. The end. And I was like, 'BUT WHAT ABOUT THE BONING?'

I've recced The Goat's Back before (Steve Rogers, gen, hurt/comfort) and while that fic is amazing, there was a voice in my head that shrieked, at several points, Natasha Romanoff, get on that. (That being Steve.)

Got any examples? The only canon!gender bent thing I've watched has been the gender bent Adventure Time episodes.


Ranma 1/2, which was all about how much less awesome Ranma was in his girl form, Naruto, in which sex-switching was just for fanservice.

No I have not, but I'll be sure to if it includes badass ladies and disgraced body guards.

It's an EXCELLENT read.

Eww! Certainly glad I've never watched Ranma 1/2 then. The thing that made me happy about the Adventure Time's gender bent episode was that they didn't really change Finn's personality or abilities. They also didn't make a huge deal of it when Fionna rescued Prince Gumball, which was pretty rad.

I'd have a loved a Naruto episode where Naruto had to sex-switch in order to complete a mission. I mean, sex-switching could have had a hundred and one uses, but I suppose it's typical Kishimoto could only think of the fan-service.
