I rarely indulge in reading badfic these days, but tonight I came across a nice little ficcie which, because of the title "Without my Sweet Buttercup", I wrongly assumed to be a parody.

It was short and sweet and, apart from attributing "promenade cheekbones" to one of the characters, it also offered this lovely sex scene (rated R):

"They both trailed burning kisses onto each other. Both needed to fell each other's body. Each of them had roaming hands. They tore at their clothes as if their clothes were on fire. They needed to release that only this would bring. They continued as long as they could, always slowing down right before they fell off the cliff. Then, they would pick up soon after, continuing to climb higher and higher. They finally gave into their body's need for the climax. They fell onto the bed sheets."

There are much worse ones out there, granted. But somehow, the need to "fell each other's body" cracks me up. As does the fact that there seems to be only one body involved in the whole act.

ETA: Maybe I should mention that the fandom to which this steamy sex scene belongs is none other than Once upon a Time in Mexico. Yep, that's right. "Without my Sweet Buttercup" is El/Sands slash. That might explain why I thought it might be a parody.

The "promenande cheekbones" are, of course, Sands'.

Oh, that is just awful! I mean, I've read some pretty bad badfic, but that's just...woah. Some needs to keep their kid away from the comp, is all I'm saying.

But still, yay! for promenade cheekbones.

And now you lot have got me wondering if anyone has ever written Gollum/Gollum slash. ...That idea should disturb me more than it does.

And finally, at the risk of getting myself mauled by a crazy preteen slasher - a promenade cheekbones icon (http://www.geocities.com/blood_wolf23/cheekbones.gif).

Well, at least the spelling and grammar are all right (on the whole). Which makes me think that this must have been written by a young author, who has no idea whatsoever what they're writing about.

I am sure Gollum/Gollum slash must exist somewhere. Definitely. It might be labeled Gollum/Smeagol, though.

And finally, I love (love!) the promenade cheekbones icon. *luffs* He's so pretty *luffs some more*

The silliness of the film notwithstanding, I think Sands is my favourite Johnny Depp character. It's the character I've always wanted to see him play.

*goes back to adore icon*

Glad you like the icon. And yeah, good grammar and bad content are a definite sign of no experience.

May I use the icon at some point? (When I finally get down to actually writing in the OuaTiM fandom.)

Of course! That's wha' I made it for.

Thanks a lot. Now I feel like I should write something to go with the icon. Mmh, Sands... cheekbones...
