I'm curious what stories people have read that were so very well (ETA: or cracked-out hilariously) done that a theme that would normally squick you didn't bother you -- or at least not enough that you didn't read/or didn't enjoy the story -- in it.
The normally squicky-to-you theme could be anything -- bloodplay, mpreg, wingfic, humiliation, penguin!sex, body modification, tentacle noncon, whatever. For example, ponyplay is normally a big turnoff for me, but I saw a bunch of recs for Bucephalus by
filenotch, and read it and found it good.
Thank you, readers!
