Part of it is that the writing's so terrible that there's meant to be all this tension ratcheted up or whatever and instead I'm left going "Yuh-huh, okay, he had a tragic childhood, whatever, DEAL WITH THE UNBELIEVABLE UST BETWEEN ANASTASIA AND KATE ALREADY." And part of it is that all the reveals are so flat, blunt, and undramatic that any punch they have is lost. (And part of it is that they're all presented as "and this is why he's a douchebag", which makes me angry rather than amazed)

The other thing about the period sex, as well, is that he's all shocked that she's on her period because she's on the pill. Which I found amusing mostly because when she goes on the pill she's all amazed by how OMG HE KNOWS SO MUCH ABOUT HOW THE PILL WORKS. (I say this as someone who actively took the pill to stop my period rather than for contraception and was still told I'd have to have at least four periods a year)

Man, now I want Anastasia/Kate action. Considering how much Ana goes on and on and ON about how pretty Kate is (but woe~ she is so plain by comparison), I could see it. And I'm willing to bet the sex would there would be 150% less creepy and maybe at least marginally hot.

Two of my most-used tags on my 50 Shades tumblr are "50 shades of sapphic love" and "50 shades of lesbian subtext". There is a reason for that. The reason is kind of linked to Anastasia constantly fawning over how hot/smart/badass/sexy/brave Kate is. And also to that one line where she called her Mistress.

I could totally see it working as a lesbian D/s relationship between the two of them. I mean, it would still be horribly written, but Christian is literally the person in that book who Anastasia has the LEAST chemistry with.
