I have been splashing about in the shallow end of Doctor Who fandom lately, and came across this Simm!Master/Ten hatesex fic (rating: adult, duh; author's warnings: violence, dubcon, Dom/sub, and general fucked-upedness). Now, being a Severus/Sirius shipper and reading the occasional Severus/James fic runs one into a lot of hatesex, and while it's not my favoritest thing ever, it's okay, I can sometimes enjoy it. I used to have more of a taste for it in my early infatuation with SS/SB, I guess, and kind of grew away from it somewhat. But what was a little weird about this fic for me, as I mention in the comment I left, was that I sort of expected to like it more than I did, and it wasn't the writing itself that was the problem, nor was it just "meh, hatesex is not doing it for me right now / any more / something." It was just... a queer flavor (npi)... like it's fine with one set of ingredients (Severus/Sirius) but came off oddly with another (Doctor/Master), even though on the surface I think there are some similar things going on in the canon relationships between the characters.

I dunno where I'm going with this. Navel-gazing...
