I feel a deep need for cross-gen fics where the younger partner hits on the older one and gets rejected. Not because the older one gets all angsty and But-I'm-Old-Enough-To-Be-Your-Father and But-Your-Father-Was-My-Best-Friend, but because of a healthy, natural WTF reaction. I want the older man act older, in control and confident and not to be entirely overwhelmed by the attentions of a handful of young needy flesh. Sort of the absolute opposite of h/c Snarry fics with a dominant Harry and an angsty Snape.

I discussed my attitute towards cross-gen on another occasion. It just doesn't do it for me. I want the older partner to be aware of what's going on, look right through the kid's game and, possibly, be mildly amused about it. I want to see Snape laugh at Harry when Harry throws himself at him, not fuck him senseless to 'punish' him. I want Remus to frown and smile and talk Harry gently out of it (chocolate optionally). I want Sirius to overcome the shock of being kissed by his godson, seat Harry down and tell him that in spite of everything Molly Weasley thinks about him, he is well aware of Harry not being James.

Off the top of my head, I can think of three fics that fulfil these criteria:

[livejournal.com profile] dehkla's Harry/Sirius (Harry/Padfoot) ficlet; NC-17; warning: bestiality;

my own Remus/Draco fic; R; warning: frottage;

and, owing to my recent foray into RPS, Lassiter's Brad Pitt/Orlando Bloom fic; PG-13

Why?

It seemed that with every mouthful of wine, Orlando's limbs grew longer, and that he took up more of the booth without really moving at all. Brad knew it was a display for his benefit and he just watched, amused, daresay entertained and, sitting back, subtly parried. Orlando wasn't the only one with presence in the room.

Hell, yes! That's the reaction I want to see!

Any chance for being pointed? Anyone? Bueller?
Sadly, I haven't got the time to read all [livejournal.com profile] remus_remix submissions at the moment, but I've just read one which took my breath away. Mummies by [livejournal.com profile] blue_moony is an increadibly tight, compelling read, dealing with Remus' pathological obsession and slow descent into madness. Based on my drabble:

Remus dreamt of pale blue eyes.

Remus dreamt of matted black hair, and a white face, drawn and wasted after a lifetime in Azkaban.

In more than a dozen years, he had got used to those dreams, used to waking up in the middle of the night, his body sweat-slick and shivering, his cock hard and throbbing. But he would never get used to the veil. The veil was new, fluttering ever so gently and exuding darkness so absolute it seemed almost corporeal.

Remus rolled out of bed and pressed his heated forehead against the cool window.

Sometime, he might forgive her for killing his friend. But he would never forgive Bellatrix for haunting his dreams.
I was just about to start doing some work when I decided to check the Master and the Wolf Fest archive, and to my great joy saw that [livejournal.com profile] fluffyllama's submission is up. What a fantastic and very welcome reason for further procrastination.

*off to reading The Importance of being Moony*
