Fly Me To The Moon

Okay, so last night I was contemplating BadFic. That is, not crappy writing, but stories deliberately written as OTT parodies of some of the worst of fandom's excesses.

The Sentinel suggests itself as a prime candidate for an entire series of BadFic stories. It's certainly infested with enough appalling story concepts.

The Sentinel features brain damage stories, stories "narrated" by stuffed animals, epics of heterosexual buddy-bonding that include shared showers and copious amounts of tonsil-hockey, stories with bestiality, sex-change morphing, and I don't know what else.

I'm thinking about a story about a Li'l Lost Bunny Rabbit who hops into the guys' lives one night when he's clipped by a passing car.

Blair naturally tries to save the Bitty Bunny through organic herbs and meditation but Jim intervenes and takes the poor little thing to a convenient Bunny-pital down the street and the devoted, caring veterinarian comes out in the middle of a huge storm to do emergency surgery.

But! It is a Huge Storm and the streets are wet and slickery and suddenly! the car slides off of the road and hits a tree and the vet has top go to the People-pital instead of coming to save BittyBunny! Oh, no!

So, Jim, who's a different kind of vet (Hee! Hee!) but who naturally knows All About Bunny Anatomy from His Time Spent In The Jungles Of Peru, and Blair, whose Soothing, New-Age Aura comforts BittyBunny, break into the Bunny-pital their own selves and perform Amazing Surgical Miracles with the aid of Jim's Heightened Senses.

Something about watching Jim doing Bunny-Saving Surgery makes Blair realize he has Always Loved Jim and of course Jim has Always Adored Blair but he was Suffering In Silence because that's his role in life, Suffering In Silence. That, and being Tall With Many Muscles.

Jim and Blair take BittyBunny (all better now!) home to cuddle with them in front of the fire while they plan their Commitment Ceremony and the next week the SheBunny (Surprise plot twist! BittyBunny is a SheBunny!) spawns a pack of BittyBunnyBabies and they all settle down in domestic, bunny-infested bliss.

I can't believe no one has written that one yet.

If a sequel was needed, someone could write the thrilling and heroic tale of how Jim & Blair hunted down and punished the evil, bunny-smushing car driver.

And they could call the series, "Cuddlebunnies" because it would be cute on so many levels what with Jim and Blair doing lots of cuddling and there being lots of bunnies and one bunny in particular that cuddled with them the first time they Realized Their Love.

And then, you know, kill me.

I don't know why today's entry is titled, "Fly Me To The Moon," okay? It just is.
