You might be surprised how this multi-chapter Goku/Gohan was inspired.
I have another fanfic I’ve been working on FOR YEARS – unfortunately it’s a little too RL to just willy-nilly post – or at least it is supposed to be more realistic.
So, I have that other too-serious-story going, and one of the things coming out of the UST in it is Goku or Gohan fantasies.
Soldier Boy started out as one of that-particular-story’s-Gohan’s fantasies – and then grew to 9+ chapters.
In this particular case, the Gohan from the other story was trying to find a way to make it…reasonable for Goku to realize he found Gohan attractive in a sexual matter. Thus a fantasy, thus a one timer, that then begged for so much more I couldn’t tell it no.
O.o My muses might just perpetuate themselves if I’m given enough breathing room.
Now I understand why they call them plot bunnies.
o.O Scary.
Eros (I never name him in the story, but that's what the character's name in the Prolouge ended up being) is absolutely my most favorite OC I've ever written.
*sighs* Too bad I can't think of other stories to put him in.
