slumber*looks up* That just sounds weird. Quickie squee, huh? :D
Anyway...
Was reading Fables and Reflections, a volume of Sandman, yesterday, and it's mainly nine tales involving Dream. Well, sometimes they're historical, and sometimes they're, surprisingly, slashy! :O :| :) :D
There was just this one thing about Caius Augustus, and his nightmares. At the end it is revealed that his nightmares were cause by his uncle Julius Ceasar, who went into his chambers one night when Caius was still sixteen, and raped him. *slumber's jaw drops*
I mean, yes, it happens in real life, but I have rarely seen it tackled at all in any sort of published general thing, let alone one by a well-known writer. In his book American Gods, Neil Gaiman does not shy away from what could be considered NC17, or at least R-rated, scenes, and he has them in het and in slash, so I think maybe he really does put in the slash.
I'm beginning to really like the guy. ;P
