Is fic where McCoy hears either of them screaming the other's name at the moment of orgasm and then tries to set them up really a thing? Because it sounds a little horrifying.

Other than that, I think many people get the appeal of cliched fanfic. As a rule, cliches=incredibly popular tropes. And id tropes are, like, the definition of what 90% of fans want in their fanfic. The only difference between classic id tropes and cliches is that cliches have become slightly too popular and hence acquired a ridiculous quality to them. But in most cases, it can easily be ignored.

I know I like h/c cliches of all sorts.

I think a big reason classic tropes become cliches is that cliches are not just popular, but also so conscious of their popularity that they are written in complacent, lazy, "I'll just drop a nice neat dollop of this trope in here without any care about integrating it or trying to convince the reader it matters" ways until they become ridiculous and infect writers' awareness so that they can't write something that happens to be a cliche by accident anymore.

It's an interesting thought, anon. Yes, I guess I've noticed that before. Cliches are kind of like compressed tropes.

Sounds like a perfect crack fic to me. 

[dreemyweird]

Yeah, I would read this as crack, certainly.

Actually, I would read it even if it weren't crack. Because it would be an awesome degree of lolariously bad.

I think the genesis of this (and most of the other tropes) may have been an annnncccient influential zine fic written in the 1970s called "Shelter" in which there's a shuttlecraft crash, Spock gets a head injury, and Kirk and McCoy take him to a cave to wait for a rescue to come. They go to sleep in the cave, and in the night Spock is all out of his head and delirious and starts rambling to Kirk about how he's madly in love with him and upset about Kirk causing him to feel when he's supposed to be all Vulcan and controlled and shit. Then they have sex. McCoy, meanwhile, is Not Asleep right next to them but pretending to be asleep to not embarrass them, and mentally going "fuck my life" as he listens to them canoodle.

Then in the sequel fic, McCoy sets them up due to what he heard, but in a kind of roundabout way.
