humans need healing time
Sep. 29th, 2011 10:47 pmI just read a fic which featured in quick succession
a) drowning and CPR, complete with cracked ribs
b) concussion with bleeding head wound and
c) sex, followed by snuggling... with the injured guy underneath.
and no, there was no time for it to get better before the sex, they'd just been sent from the infirmary to get some sleep after getting back from the mission.
all hot or snuggly thoughts were chased out by the ow ow ow thoughts.
I understand h/c lives in a happy magic world of its own, but still.
On the plus side it does value the actual body shape and age of the participants, using accurate terms and talking like soft curves are hot on a guy, rather than doing that thing where everyone's a twenty year old bodybuilder once their clothes come off. I do not understand fic that does that. If they don't think they're hot as is, why write about them?
