Recs, recs, give me some recs!
Hey ![[livejournal.com profile]](https://www.dreamwidth.org/img/external/lj-userinfo.gif)
velevetglove, sonia_maria, aelita, r_me_time, heathersy, attolia andmecurtin! Welcome to the friends list. Never play nice. ~_^
Can anyone rec me some m/m slash that actually has men in it? Down with elfin limbs and fine, silky soft skin! Down with slim hips and pretty pink lips! Down with crying, curtain shopping and tender embraces! Show me some emotionally stunted, physically flawed, beautiful, human males. I want the weirdly growing hair, the short tempers and fear of intimacy.
At this point I'd take a butch lumberjack in reaction.
I'm usually not one to cling to gender stereotypes but the thing is, most of the characters I'm interested in do conform to them, deeply so. Snape is the ugly, bitter bastard who's so out of touch with his emotions, he probably forgets what it's like to get honestly and purely excited about something. Lex is remote and obsessed with projecting absolute control and power. All the time.
*throws vase at slash writers* What is the point of writing slash, if not to explore established UST? So why then, am I seeing story after story that utterly corrupts the source dynamic until it's a blubbering slop of sentiment and hyper-femininity? Let's be clear that it's the kind of femininity that most of despise in females.
So. Please, send me a few good men.

I imagine you've read all of Ellen Fremedon's stories too, but her Snape/Lupins are also incredible (and NC17).
Clipped Wings by Theresa Ann Wymer, at Inkstained Fingers, hard R, Snape/Harry, dark futurefic.
All these men are MEN.
Here, Here
It makes plowing through the paragraphs of bedfic all the more painful.
Isiscolo also writes really good stuff as well. Read hers!

And at first I didn't realize that 'bedfic' was a typo. I think that's what I'm going to call PWP from here on out!
