Another disturbing trend...

Yeah, okay. I'm noticing that I have a tendency to have my female heroines feed themselves to Spike...or at least put themselves in a position where it's logical that they would. My first ever fic, Spike got poisoned by a dragon and needed the requisite Slayer blood to survive. In "Soulless, Evil Things," okay, that was part of the challenge, so, that was all right.

But in "Cold Comfort," I seriously considered having Illyria let Spike drink her, because, you know, she's a god, and he's hurt pretty bad, and the blood of a god would be a pretty good kick in the pants, right? However, I manfully resisted the temptation to do that, and just ended it, well, the way I ended it. And it was good, although I still kinda feel like it's missing something sort of intimate.

And in the current WIP, the churchofspike ChairFic (yup, still working on that), I've got another opportunity for another female heroine, Fred this time, to feed herself to Spike. I'll (probably) resist that temptation once again, but I'm starting to detect a pattern here. Maybe four fics out of seventeen (plus over a hundred drabbles) isn't really all that many--percentage-wise, it's about a quarter of them. And I've only *actually* done it in two.

But, frankly, I'm starting to creep myself out a little.

Kink! You gots yourself a KINK!!!

But then, in no fewer than three fics, I have Dawn crying herself our in Angel's arms. So I repeat myself, too.

*headdesk* I know...

Argh. I just don't want to become known as "Oh, that boring author who always has Spike drinking from the wimmens."

I think its natural as that has been established as an intimate act for a bvampire and the human who has been fed on if done right, so that adds to the appeal.

What's odd is that I've never considered having him drink from their necks. It's always a situation of "OMG, he's hurt really bad and needs blood," and they do a stabbity thing in the wrist and feed him that way. So, yeah, it's an intimate thing, but it's not a sex thing, if that makes any sense.

Heh. Maybe if I'd stop hurting Spike, the problem would solve itself. If it's really a problem, that is. And now I'm rambling, so I'll be shutting up and slinking off into the corner...
