Oh noes! Never-written fic meme.
Ooh,
clocketpatch just passed along this one:
Give me the title of a story I've never written, and feedback telling me what you liked best about it, and I will tell you any of: the first sentence, the last sentence, the thing that made me want to write it, the biggest problem I had while writing it, why it almost never got posted, the scene that hit the cutting room floor but that I wish I'd been able to salvage, or something else that I want readers to know.
I love the meta-invention required for this one. Let's do it!

Willow in the leather corset was pure fanservice, though. I admit that. But she has great breasts and I wanted to show them off.
They were gorgeous together, the Slayer and the vampire. Perfect bodies, glistening with sweat. Which did he desire more? The Slayer's sweet mouth? The vampire's muscled arse? He would have them both before the night was through. Before the night was through, and the magic ebbed, and his Slayer had forgotten it all.
It was strange to wind the romance subplot through all that, trying to keep that loose and flowing despite the sort of clockwork of the mystery. (Heh. Clockwork. Fitting, since the whole thing turns on the gadget made by Gradman and his assistant.) The Xander voice helped me there. Xander loosens everything up. Including an over-worked Giles. I nearly took the sex scene out, since I was in a no-pr0n-yes-plot phase when I worked on this. But I'm glad I left it in, in retrospect.
