Agreed on all accounts :D I too have real problems reading P/P that goes against my preferred dynamic even though I can like appreciate author's skill in it... Damn, now I want to go like Barney and say 'CHALLENGE ACCEPTED!' Hmm... could maybe swing it if like Patrick wants Pete to understand what it is like to be in charge and they agree to switch for the weekend. And Patrick wouldn't even make him work for it, wouldn't challenge Pete's authority, would just sink to kind of semi-meditative state. Not really sub-space but kind of calm. If he'd had any even sort of formal training, he would've subbed/bottomed at some point to get some insight into that side of things. And... idk, Pete would probably enjoy some of it, getting Patrick to go down on him, but it would probably freak him the fuck out too.
