pepper: Pepperpot (Jack Sam friends)
Because [livejournal.com profile] annerbhp's latest icon challenge got me pondering this on my bus in the morning:

Do you think that there can be non-shippy stories where Sam and Jack have sex? Or is that, by your definition, shippy?

As you know, Bob, there's not really a great deal of Sam and Jack friendship fic out there, and the definitions can be a little hazy anyway, with the difference in intent and perception (one person's UST is another person's friendly banter).

What I mean is... gen people, could you imagine reading/writing a Sam and Jack friendship fic where they are forced into that sort of relationship? Or, Sam/Jack people, could you imagine reading/writing that kind of fic, but without the UST angle - one where it's their friendship that they have to salvage? And without a happy ending where they're given permission by the Prez to break the frat regs. *g*

(And no, this is NOT what I'm planning to do for my [livejournal.com profile] jacksamfriends fic!)

(Oh, and I'm not talking about stories that are about the sex itself, necessarily - just ones that deal with that having happened.)

I've been thinking some more, and I came up with an exception: I've read stories where the AMTDI is more like "Plants made them do it" or some variation, so it's no one's fault--that does not set off my "noncon!" button the same way AMTDI does. (I've seen: alien plant spores that overwhelm the human system, more than once; some little 'gift' left behind by Hathor; and maybe one or two other causes.)

I've read a few of these stories. I wasn't actually all that fond of any: most had elements I liked, but they all had elements I didn't like, and in most cases I thought those elements were extraneous (really inappropriate humor would be the recurrent one. Not funny, folks).

Seeing Sam and Jack deal with something like that, where no person made them do it, for "entertainment" or other nefarious motives, but they have to cope with what's happened--now that might be interesting.
