more badfic, this time quoteless
Jun. 28th, 2009 10:16 pmYesterday I was reading a Star Wars fic. It appeared to be a gen, Jedi-prodecural (mission to a trouble planet, Master-Padawan pair dispatched to the rescue). It was only after reading several thousand words that I discovered it was in fact Obi-Wan/Anakin, with a side of graphic non-con and Daddy Issues.
For the record: ( Anakin uses his superior force-manipulation abilities to weaken Obi-Wan into a state where he physically and emotionally cannot resist Anakin's sexual advances. (I'm fuzzy on just how he accomplished this, but am willing to accept that he ~Used The Force~). He then attempts to convince Obi-Wan that this is The Best Idea Ever via sexual and emotional manipulation, graduating to outright coercion when somehow, Obi-Wan finds the strength to resist the rape=awesome proposal. Finally he caps it all off with a Don't You Love Me Daddy? guilt trip. Obi-Wan, sensibly enough, is Not Having This. That is, until the Daddy issues come into play, and he starts getting hot and bothered. Yes, after the non-con. The story ends with Obi-Wan telling himself to get over being raped by his Padawan, because after all, isn't he the Chosen One? And Boys Will Be Boys. LOLWUT?)
COME ON PEOPLE. If you're not going to label this stuff, at least throw me a bone and do some foreshadowing. Not-for-me sex stuff aside, if I'm looking to read the fandom's equivalent of a procedural, I'm not going to be happy when you SURPRISE TWIST your way into an entirely different, and unexpected genre.
In fiction there are good surprises, bad surprises, so bad they're good surprises, and WHERE THE FUCK DID THAT COME FROM?! surprises.
This surprise was most definitely of the last kind, all caps included.
