Gen fics: the Underrated Awesome

Nov 16, 2012 17:15

Okay, so here's the thing.  Everyone apparently prefers pairing fics to gen fics.  What I don't get is why.  Because I read mostly Steve and Tony fics, and nemaline reads mostly Bruce and Tony fics.  Pairing fic always leaves something to be desired when we cross-rec.  But in long amnesia fic?  I can imply any pairing I damn well want to.  It's mostly Steve and Tony, granted, since those are the two characters I'm focusing on, but there's cuddles with Clint, hugs from Natasha, and I'm even throwing in some references to the Stark Spangled Banner ship.  Considering Bruce is the first person Tony's met in this place that he's actively liked, there's some Science Bro feels going on too.  I'm sure once I get to Thor, he'll have feels too.

Pairing fic?  Pfft.  Limiting.  I will subtext them all with cuddles and don't think I can't.  SUBTEXT ALL THE PAIRINGS.

That stated, I still haven't decided what to do with the pre-slash thing.  But that's at the end, and I'm only somewhere near the middle right now, so I'll worry about that later.  And worry about the gift exchange now.  -_-;;;  But that probably surprises no one.
