Perhaps it's me, but is there a lack of really steamy and passionate kissing in fics?

It probably doesn't help that I thrive on;

a.) antagonistic pairings
b.) darkfic
c.) Snape and his lousy oral hygiene

Not exactly a breeding ground for 'Casablanca' and 'Gone With the Wind' style passion, I know.

I'm posing a couple of questions here.

How important is kissing in a story for you?

Should kissing be bypassed with some pairings? (Extreme and utter hatred, implausibility, etc.) If so, let us know what they are.

What makes or breaks a kiss for you?

What was the hottest kiss you've ever read in a fic? Link if you can, please. I've been craving kissing too. Don't read nearly enough, dammit!

Bonus points if someone can rec me kissing in a Snape/Black fic that's plausible.

Anything else you want to mention about kissing in fics? By all means!

Maybe it's just me being odd, but I adore the kisses in fandom. They're how I remember a fic. I won't remember the sex scenes (with a few exceptions) or the title or how I found it but I always remember the first kiss.

What makes or breaks a kiss? *ponders* I think it spoils the tender moment when a worm is involved. Or when one of the following lines is, 'You make me puke.'
I'm not quite sure how quite I'd put into words how heart-achingly beautiful some of the Cinnamon kisses are. There's this fragility to them, which is stunning to read. The bittersweet kisses are what I live for.

And as for the hottest kiss. . . I'd have to nominate the Love Under Will Chapter Five kiss. I still remember the first time I read it...

Do you have a link to that fic? I know it's familar, but I lost the link long ago, if I had it to begin with. ;_;

A worm? Like as in from a tequila bottle?

And as for the hottest kiss. . . I'd have to nominate the Love Under Will Chapter Five kiss. I still remember the first time I read it...

Who wrote that? Do you have a link handy?

The worm. . . Lunaticus (http://www.glassesreflect.net/jh17/lunaticus.html) flashback. *shudder*

It remains one of my fandom favourites.
