Summary: After the defeat of Victor Von Doom, all should be fine for the Fantastic Four. Only Ben is depressed about being The Thing and what it means for his love life. Johnny helps him out, because he's a nice guy. Also, he's kinda curious, what does an ejaculating rock look like?
Notes: I enjoyed this movie when it came out 16 years ago (yikes) and recently rewatched it. Johnny and Ben were so slashy, and I went looking for what seemed to be the obvious fic for the movie to inspire. I thought I'd find at least a half dozen variations. And yet, that fic does not appear to exist, so I wrote my version.

In my head canon, Johnny walks a line between being an intelligent, semi-enlightened guy, and a selfish horndog who thinks with his dick. Ben is a nice guy, but old-fashioned. They both may express ideas considered retro.

My thanks and socially distanced kisses to Seaward for her betaing. I fussed with it afterwards; all mistakes are my own.

Comments and kudos always make me happy! I know I'm late to this party, but it would be really nice to know there is still some Johnny/Ben love out there. Let me know!
