Sad, depressing fics including sex

Edit 2: Okay, lol, funny discussion but still no recs (which I didn't know) ._. Slip Away can't be the only one, or? ;_;
---
Yeah, the title says it all, I think, lol
I'm in the mood for this right now, so...
Can someone rec me some well-written really, sad, depressing B/J fics which also include ~~lemon~~SEX? (There's nothing better than despair!sex, lol)
Something like 'Slip away' by Branwen777.
I checked the 'down the well' tags/memories, but I couldn't figure out which of these fics were really depressing in general AND had the dirty stuff as well ^^;

Edit: Sorry ^^; Bidyke is right - lemon means graphic sex, lol. Didn't know it's only common in germany for sex in all kind of fics. We have lemon for more graphic sex and lime for implied sex. There's even something in between, but I won't go that deep into explanations now, lol

which also include lemon?

Huh? I'd like to help, but I have no idea what you are talking about here.

Yup, I had the same thought. I know what a lemon is, but not in this context ???

I suspect it may be a translation problem.

Love that icon!

I hope so, or it's a very special kink, I've never heard of :)

Isn't it great? It's by

qafmaniac.

omg, that is so cute and it cracked me up ♥

-> lemon = sex in fanfics ^^;
sorry for the confusion

sorry, probably only a german term for "sex in fanfics"
^^;

No, lemon is a term used in most Anime & Harry Potter fanfics. It's been around for a long time, just unheard of in TV show & movie fandoms.

whoops, didn't know they use it here mostly for that kinda fics.
in germany we use it everywhere, lol

most ppl also use 'seme' and 'uke' instead of top and bottom for american books/movies/shows etc. *sigh*

Actually 'seme' and 'uke' is Japanese terms for top and bottom and are not used in American media culture. The only time you hear these terms used in America is from American translations of Japanese Mangas and Animes. Or on LJ forms dedicated to Anime fandoms.

lol, I know that...
they sometimes don't even translate these words in the mangas.
I prefer calling it 'the one who fucks' and 'the one who GETS fucked'. that's unmistakable, lol
j/k

Uhm, I'm German and I've never heard it before.
Thanks for the explanation.

well, then you're probably not on Animexx, lol
(be thankful for that)

No,I'm not. But my kids are, I think they know this!

Lemon means sex, right? If it does, there's this one fic by triciaqaf which is hot and sad at the same time: http://www.queereyes.net/missyou.html

yeah, you're right, I thought that term was common ^^;
aww, thanks, dear :)

edit: hrrm, after the first few sentences I realized I've already read that one ^^;

No, it seems to be common in English, too:

"Lemon and Lime
Main article: lemon (anime)
See also: lime (anime)
Explicit sex stories in general, especially in anime fan fiction, are known as lemon, lemony-goodness, and lemonade, a term which comes from a Japanese slang term meaning "sexy" that itself derives from an early pornographic cartoon series called Cream Lemon. The term lime denotes a story that has sexual themes but is not necessarily explicit. "Lemon" stories without much plot other than sex are also referred to as smutfics[citation needed] or as PWPs ("Porn Without Plot" or "Plot? What Plot?").

These terms are also sometimes used now to describe original amateur fiction that is published online."
(quoted from Wikipedia)

Yes, lemon has been a term for sex in Anime fandoms and have been around for a long time. Since I've come from (and currently still active in) Anime fandoms I knew what she was talking about. But yes this term is very uncommon in TV show & movie fandoms.

Interesting. Thanks for the info.

Sounds like it's pretty specific to the anime world. I've certainly never heard it used by anyone in any of the fandoms I've been involved in or by friends involved in other non-anime fandoms over the years.

However, it seems to me if you can read about sex why not just type/say the word without requiring such a euphemism? It's not like the word is shorter and easier to type or anything.

lolol, I know and you're so right about this, but old habits die slow.
since I started reading fics at the age of 15, I'm used to these terms (and that wasn't only anime back then, also movies and books)

when I became active here, it was weird for me at first to refer to Brian/Justin, when I read BJ, because that stands for blowjob, lolol

:)
Yup, BJ is blowjob. B/J is Brian/Justin.

Lol, I tend to say "BJ" to mean Brian and Justin! 'Cause then it's like... they're closer together... than if I say "B/J"...

*iz dork*

Also 'cause fanfiction.net takes all the little symbol punctuation out of your summaries, so I'd type "B/J" and it would become "BJ" anyway, so...

I guess I'd say "a bj" for blow job, lol.

Btw,

lumcheng hon, I remember you saying "lemon" to me the first time and being like ???? but figuring it out and figuring I was just out of the loop! :-b

lol @ closer - you're srzly adorkable ;)

Oh shit... see? old, bad habits... I just can't get rid of it. maybe it's also because my friend and I tend to talk about fics in public a lot and to avoid weird stares from the people, we're happy with using terms like 'lemon' and 'bj' instead of sex and blowjob, lol ^^;

No, it's not. You'll find the terms "lemon" and "lime" in slash fiction. Almost every archive out there that caters to slash use those terms, as well as "yaoi" and "hentai", geared more towards the anime fics. There's also chan, which you may know. If not, that's fic with underaged characters.

I wish I'd seen this earlier, it would have been funny jumping in going, "Hey, we only use those terms for non-canon slash!fic!" lol

Hmm. I've never seen or heard of them used in the QaF, DW/TW, Star Trek, Oz, or AI fandoms, that's for sure. Slash or no.

So let me rephrase, it sounds like they're predominantly used in the anime and other related fandoms (i.e. those of Japanese origin such as anime, hentai, yaoi, chan, etc.), but I guess they may also be used in some other non-Japanese origin slash fandoms that I'm not familiar with.

Interesting either way. Though I still don't get why anyone would bother using such odd euphemisms rather than just saying sex or porn or using standard ratings. But that's okay, I don't need to get it. Fact is, they do.

I remember the first time I saw those types of warnings; it was when I was brand new to the fanfiction thing...way back in 2002. lol Those warnings had me all kinds of confused! I was all, "Lemon? WTF is that??"

Those warnings abound at large multi-fandom archives, such as ff.net, aff.net, and several Harry Potter archives as well. I haven't seen any at archives that host QAF fic, that I recall, anyway. And oddly enough, I don't recall seeing that at the Smallville archive sites, either, which would be mostly slash.

It's VERY common in the Harry Potter fandom as well, so not just anime, ;)

On sites such as fanfiction.net, the summary to every story has to be appropriate for all ages. Saying "this story has lemon" is better than "this is porn." :P

Yes, I know. That's why I said 'predominantly' not 'exclusively'.

Seems to me that if it means the same thing, and everyone in that fandom knows it (or finds out the first time they click on something so labeled), it is no "better" than saying porn. Just sillier. :) The summary needn't include any of that anyway; that's what ratings are for.

Anyway, obviously those that use it should do what they want. And I'll thank my lucky stars that it hasn't come into usage in QaF fic. As Brain and Justy know, we have enough silly problems already. ;)

Oh, I forgot. Did you check the h/c section? Most of those are sad fics where sex is had. Hence the hurt/comfort tag.

ohhh, I ttly forgot about that - THANKS ^^

Yeah, lemon does mean really NC-17 graphic sex (pornographic), while lime or citrus is just R. Mainly used in anime fanfiction writing.

How about Holding On to Let You Go by Lane Carson? They had raw sex in Part 7. Download it here: http://www.4shared.com/account/home.jsp. Incidentally, this link is under the Recovered Lost Fics DL even more fics tab of this community. Thanks and have fun!

thanks for the rec, but the link doesn't work - obviously, because I think it'd lead to my own account if I had one ^^;

Same problem for me, leeds to my own account. This should be the right one:

thanks ^^
but found it meanwhile through the link in the sidebar here ^^ (http://www.4shared.com/dir/20541154/a47a1d91/sharing.html)

My nano will fit into this category of fics. But it's not done yet. It'll be called "Tenebrosity" though if you watch

bjfic for it in December.

*hugs*

Ohh, that's wonderful ^^
I wish you all the best for the rest of the month, hope you can make it ;)

I'm looking forward to it :D
