ask and ye shall receive

Because apparently Sunday is for procrastination... Well, no, I have like firm plans to clean the office, go to the shop, do the dishes and wash some laundry. You're all jealous of my exciting life now, aren't you?

Aaaanyway. Let's do a meme. A writing meme, which is the type I'm chronically unable to resist.

Ask me a question about one of my fanfics. It can be absolutely anything in any fic and I will tell you the honest-to-god answer. Don’t hold back. Ask about major upcoming plot points if you want to. Whatever you ask, I have to answer truthfully.

Fic I've written, fic I've promised to write, WIPs, anything is fair game!

I'm going to include original writings into that as well. Masterlist of everything posted is here. Go to town people!

Just because I'm an OTP slut. In To Have and to Hold Down what is going on between Sam and Gene? Especially, does Sam know how he affects Ray, and is he doing it on purpose?

Here's where I sigh deeply. Because I actually have two other fics in my head how things progress after To Have and to Hold Down but whether they ever make it to paper is doubtful.

Here's my theory of Sam, which I'm sure I've expounded on before: Sam is a confused switch. He's been the top (not necessarily in a formalised or sexual way always, but at least the one in charge) in all his previous relationships... That's it until he meets Gene. And then there's an unexpected desire/need to submit... So, that's what going on between Sam and Gene. And to fight the inevitable Sam is asserting himself as the top dog with everyone else, case in point manipulating Ray and Chris.

Which answers your other question: Yes Sam knows exactly what he's doing, and he is playing with Chris and Ray on purpose. But the thing is, neither Ray or Chris know what they're doing, not really, so it will all backfire a little and in the sequel (which, seriously, probably never gets written) Sam will have to show Ray how to handle Chris right... um, yes, I'm talking Sam/Chris/Ray smutty shenanigans.
