Rec Me

[viciouswishes]

I was reading penknife's Con_Text review and thinking about fandom's reluctance to write characters who cheat on their lovers. Which, of course, made me want to read cheating fics.

So rec me some fics, in my fandoms, featuring infidelity. (And ones who avoid character bashing in order to do it.) Because cheating can be so hot, dirty, nasty, wrong with the porn.

RPS is always kind of a draw with me. I do like reading about actors that I'm familiar with, but I can sometimes read other ones. Concerning other fandoms, I pretty much only read in my fandoms.

Yeah, that's pretty much my stance as well.

This is RPS, Ewan/Hayden, Ewan is married and mentions it in a backhanded way. The conflict in this whole thing (it stretched on to 6 chapters, don't even sweat it if you aren't interested.) was Hayden wanting a relationship, and they CAN'T because Ewan is married with kids.

Yeah, the convenient forgetting of wives, etc. bugs me. To me, it makes it more real and interesting to have that hurdle of: BUT THEY ARE MARRIED. The moral implications can be fun, too.

(and we'll just forget my second fanfic ever that was Spuffy and had Angel as the bastard husband and...

Yeah. I've grown a lot since then. :) )

And I'll say that infedelity fic is quite common in het pairings, like Spike/Buffy, Buffy/Angel.

Yeah, Buffy/Angel/Spike has the whole OTP and canon thing going on.

I'll definitely give it a shot.

Now that I think about it, Snow always mentions DB's wife in her non-AU RPS. Moral implications can definitely be fun, but mentioning the wife/husband/SO is just a matter of staying in "canon."
