wisdomeagleTop number one way to tell you're reading Ari-fic:
1. It's shipfic. And the ship in question is complete and utter crack.
Nine more ways in no particular order to tell you're reading one of my fics:
2. In the sexy bits there's slipping and sliding and moaning and, if it's het, I thought of Dworkin and put her around him and not him in her. And if it's boyslash, I completely made all the bits up.
3. If it's boyslash and it's porny, it's got either Wesley or Alexis Denisof in it. Or possibly both.
4. It songsongs off into itself somewhere and you've got characters forgetting to remember to forget.
5. It's in tight third-person-limited POV.
6. The fourth wall is broken.
7. You find yourself seeing subtext for pairings other than the textual one. OR there's a long bit in the headers warning you that if you look hard enough, you might see subtext for upwards of five pairings in addition to the featured one.
8. If getting the featured pairing together requires some sort of plot thing to happen, it likely happened off-screen and is alluded to obliquely so as to make you go, "What? When'd that happen?"
9. Fred is an X-Files fan.
10. McKay and Weir are having sex and Weir is clearly topping and McKay comes off a little funny because he's so totally completely whipped. Yes!
I want to write this fic where there's a cold snow-covered planet and McKay whines and wheedles and convinces Elizabeth to come see it because there's something very important and plotty there and she finally gives in because she loves him so and then they get there and she's all very cold and so's he, and whining loudly about it and she says, "So what was so important that you needed me to freeze for it?"
And then he kisses her.
Yay!
Except for the part that it's completely daft and out-of-character, I think that would be really lovely.
