Sam/Dean, J2: Plot-without-(so much)-porn - ??
Not sure how well I can describe what I'm looking for. You read many, many fanfics, S/D and J2, full of sex: first times, angry sex, makeup sex, etc. Pages and pages of blow-by-blow (pun intended), graphically detailed sex. Every plot point is followed by an extended sex scene. Sometimes I find myself just leafing thru the sex scenes, trying to pick up the plot again.
I'm not opposed to S/D and J2 sexytimes. The sexual tension and expression add depth to the boys' relationship. And I'm not saying sex scenes aren't well-written. But many of them go on too long/too frequently, and they're often too detailed for me to maintain focus on the characterization and the plot. (I don't need to follow the track of EVERY bead of sweat down Sam's back or Dean's abs. . .) So often, the sex scenes do not define the characters more closely -or- advance the plot (kind of like the songs in an old-school Broadway musical, pre-Oklahoma; the play goes on for a while and then - everyone stops and sings a song! Because hey, it's a musical!).
OK, now I'm babbling. Sorry. This is what I'm looking for: Recs for well-written S/D or J2 where the sex reveals something important about the characters or advances the story in some way. Maybe the sex is UST, or implied, or plays out through some metaphor.
I just need a break from all the detail that often doesn't seem to lead anywhere, or provide a new perspective . I'm sure I'll return to them at some point. :-P
Any help is much appreciated. I hope this makes sense.
