Location, location, location. Sometimes slash stories seem very small. Spatially, or geographically, or whatever. Look, it's Jim and Blair, and they're getting it on! In the loft

Avon and Vila usually ended up in one or other of the Liberator cabins, even though (as we know from canon) the bunks in those cabins were narrow singletons. Sometimes they got nice big soft double beds on shoreleave, but not often, because shoreleave isn't canonical.
Spock and McCoy are usually in one or other of their cabins aboard the Enterprise, or in a room carved out of the rock on Vulcan. They do, however, get double beds. It's only logical. (I think I did have them get together in a cave once or twice, but that's traditional.)
Bodie and Cowley never, ever had sex anywhere but Cowley's bedroom, after dark, with the curtains drawn, the doors locked, and the security system on.
Picard got raped in a prison cell (come to that, so did Vila, a few times) but had nice marital sex in his cabin on the Enterprise-D.
MacGyver has sex with Murdoc anywhere. Hotel bedrooms. His latest weird apartment. Murdoc's apartment, which is probably booby-trapped and dangerous.
Every fandom needs a cave. (It's hard to pull off in popslash, though.) I'm glad you reminded me of HL fandom, because that really is quite flexible - in my head, at least, it doesn't come with built-in limits on the sexual geography. Go, Methos. :)
Oh! Hey, crossover person? I just pictured MWPP and Bodie and Doyle running into each other in London in the late 70s... presumably because B&D are trying to work out something about these mysterious killings involving some kind of strange smoke signal, and...
*snicker* Sorry. What would probably happen is that the lads would be Obliviated and go on their merry terrorist- and skirt-chasing way, but still.
I've developed a fondness for 12 Grimmauld Place as a setting. Particularly the kitchen and the library. And of course, the bedroom Sirius and Remus never officially share. *g

12GP gets me all moody. It's too close to the heartbreak, you know? (I don't know what I'm doing being mad about this pairing. It took me ages to get over OotP and love them again. I'm so not all about the Doom and Gloom and Heartbreak.)
I rather love all those mythical London flats, especially when they actually sound like London flats in the mid-70s and not US apartments in the early 21st century. ;)

Dude, I am so happy fluff girl, but they had their hooks in me before the death, you know? I was so sure they'd get to grow old and work out all their baggage together. Sigh. That it would be the Fandom of Delayed Gratification and Maturity, not the Fandom of Pain.
But I think because of that, because I was so all about "lying low at Lupin's" etc, I have more fondness for stories post-Azkaban (the implicatinos of which are one reason I was attracted to them as a pairing in the first place), and given the limitations of my ability, a two-person story set in a gloomy old house is much easier for me to write than a story involving MWPP+Lily+Snape+random Hogwarts students I have to make up, along with locations at Hogwarts etc.

Mmmm. In my little world? The Batcave gets a lot of use. I mean, there's all that SPACE. And then there's the bedrooms in Titans Tower. (You kind of have to wonder. "Hmm. I have this superpowered teen sidekick... I think I'm going to send him/her to live part time with other teenagers and next to no supervision. That'll work out fine.") And the roof of Titans Tower. And... yeah.
Also? Cloakrooms are, apparently, universally excellent places to screw, according to my subconscious.
You kind of have to wonder. "Hmm. I have this superpowered teen sidekick... I think I'm going to send him/her to live part time with other teenagers and next to no supervision. That'll work out fine."
No, you don't have to wonder. Clearly, the rest of the thought is, "And I can finally get laid by insert hero/villan/orgy-mates of choice without completely scandalizing the kid(s) or being forced to confront my inappropriate feelings for him/her/them just yet. But I will eventually. Probably in a cloakroom. With nice shag carpeting on the floor. And a lock on the door. And soundproof walls. And extra lube in a coat pocket."
It definitely makes sense! I nearly choked when I read somewhere in Batman that scene which went something like: "Oh, look, there's Catwoman. Robin, go detect something."
In my memory, for some reason the cloakroom seems to be a favorite in SV fic especially.
You're lucky you don't share your name with a half-dozen singers popular with the teenies. Sarah McLachlin and Sarah Brightman alone have caused me infinite pain today.
From the tiny fandom front: Hercules and Iolaus end up in tavern bedrooms a lot (although I've only seen one or two stories that deal with the impact of an aroused demigod on the average bedframe). Since they spend almost all of their lives on the road, the default locations are either taverns or 'beside the campfire out in the wild somewhere'. I prefer the latter; why make it easy on them? *g* Other options are Iphicles' palace, the healer's back room (if hurt-comfort is indicated) or inside a cave or other shelter.
Never in Alcmene's house (is it bad manners to have sex in your mother's house?) or in Hercules and Deianeira's house. Despite the extreme slashiness of the Maze of the Minotaur scene alluded to in my icon, I don't think I've ever seen more than a story or two set in Hercules' barn, either.

*blinkblink* I thought at first you had a gay porn icon. You have a fannish gay porn icon. All hail.
Someone Hercules' size could have a considerable impact on your average bedframe even without demigod strength etc, I should think. *g* But good lord, that barn should have reams of porn written about it. Pun totally intended. :)
*blinkblink* I thought at first you had a gay porn icon. You have a fannish gay porn icon. All hail.
Hee! Thanks. That whole barn scene is just asking for a boom-chicka soundtrack. *g*
A little later in that same episode, there's the scene in this icon. (Hercules asks the landlord for two rooms after lovingly hoisting Iolaus over his shoulder. The landlord's reaction is priceless: you can see him think "What on earth for?" but since they've just beaten up half the tavern, he doesn't feel it's his place to object...)

Methos has sex anywhere. With anyone.

*nods* For me, too. Really, they can have sex anywhere. And, usually, with anyone. Or Methos can, anyway.
He is such a slut.

See, it all makes sense!
