Everyone has guilty pleasures. You know, those fic themes that... just appeal to you. They don't have to particularly suit the fandom, but you'll read them anyway. One of mine is probably sex slave stories. Blame it on the fact that the first piece of pure erotica was Anne Rice's Beauty Series (at the ripe old age of 12), but it just... kinda appeals.

Doesn't suit every mood, but sometimes, you just want to sit back and wallow in it. That's what I've been doing today. I've been reading The Hart and the Lion, an incredibly AU SN fic. Well, not so much an SN fic, as a fic with characters from SN, but vastly different setting.

The really amusing thing? I'm only halfway through and I'm really enjoying it. Took a while to get into it, to suspend the disbelief, but now I'm a happy little fangirl, settling in for the rest of the plot to happen. (Wars between nations, intrigue within the House of el-Rydell, *lots* of sex scenes... *g*)

Well, I think I missed JJ. Clearly a re-read is in order.

Hee!

If it helps... I didn't click until after the scenes themselves. But, you know the village where there's mention of a local "merchant" who kidnaps kids and sells them into slavery? (And, manages to kidnap Olle?) That's JJ. The spelling is something like... "Zhah Zhah", but still, it made me crack up.

You wouldn't know if Sam Donovan was mentioned anywhere? All the other recurring characters seem to be (Other than the assistants, Monica and Alyson, but I may have missed them).

I don't remember Sam Donovan being in the story, but some of those spellings are tricksy; I'll try to remember to look out for him, and anyone else I might've missed, when I re-read.

(Checks: do we have Kleenex? Okay, we're set.)
