*Ahem* I was wondering if anyone could recommend any fics where Justin calls Brian 'Daddy'. I looked through the memories, so besides 'Spare the Rod', 'Daddy's Little Boy' and the Fantsay series by OG Walton. Thanks in advance

I think, perhaps, there's a small argument to be made that you're right. Here's the 213 dialogue:

Brian: Try not to step into my Chinese food.

Justin: He said I'd be pulling $200 to $300 a night.

Brian: That'd better be all you're pulling young men. And remember you still have your schoolwork to do.

Justin: And what if I don't?

Brian: Mmmh, you'd have to be spanked.


There's no use of the word "daddy," but there is an implied parental tone in what Brian says. In context, I think it's his way of dealing with Justin becoming a go-go boy since he knows what that means. But there is a bit of the parental becoming erotic before Mel and Linds interrupt them, although I'm sure you could spin it some other way if you wanted to. Personally, I think many, many relationships have a somewhat parental element to them with one partner getting something from the other that reminds them of their mother or father. That doesn't seem strange at all.

Having said that, I'd have to agree it's not my cup of tea. However, you are free to look for those fics just as other people are free to write them! :)

I think there was a mentor relationship between Brian and Justin that was inevitable given the difference in their age. And I think once in a great while it spilled over into something like an endearment as when Brian calls Justin "Sonny-Boy" in 203. However, that's rare and for a fic to go into that in great detail ... well, that's fine, but, as I say, not my cup of tea. It's AU, imo, and I don't know any fics like that. I can see how people get there though. It's just not for me! :)

That could be any of a number of other relationships too (e.g. mentor/student as this one is in many ways), it needn't be parental per se. Plus, it was done very jokingly here.

I have absolutely no problem with lifestyle or sexual power exchange, D/s, or role play in any other form. In fact I greatly enjoy them. However, I, personally, am just squicked by the parent/child thing when it's in a serious sexual context. Everyone has their squicks, no-gos, and boundaries even those who live 24/7 in the BDSM lifestyle. That's one of very few of mine (the other major one being anything having to do with Nazis). I do not judge anyone else for enjoying it, I just don't want to be involved with it myself, or read about it in fic.

I support this point of view 100%, Flame! I have my own "buttons," that, if pushed, make me crazy. I just avoid those fics and there's always a little voice in my head saying, "Move along--nothing to see here! Move along!" But people can read/write what they want. I am not the arbiter of taste in the QAF fandom. God help us if I was, LOL!!!
