Morbane's coal

[coalcube]

In quantum wankchanics, Morbane's coal is a thought experiment, sometimes described as a paradox, of quantum wankerposition. In the thought experiment, a hypothetical gift may be considered simultaneously both the fic of your dreams (TFOYD) and coal, while it is unread state, as a result of its fate being linked to a random subatomic event that may or may not occur.

The Coaltide interpretation implies that, after a while, the gift is simultaneously TFOYD and coal. Yet, when a coalie clicks on their gift, the coalie sees the gift either TFOYD or coal, not both TFOYD and coal. This poses the question of when exactly quantum wankerposition ends and reality resolves into one possibility or the other.

Re: I think I got Untherius' fic

No, but I’m sure you can imagine how a person determined to edge that line without crossing it could make kissing graphic and sexual.

+1. It's entirely possible to write a kissing scene where you talk about how wet the POV character is getting and where exactly she wants her love interest's hands right now and that would be edging into graphic sex territory, but it's not the default. I don't read BDSM but I can very much imagine a similar consideration.
