''[http://archives.eyrie.org/anime/BGC/Lemon/bgc.lemon.bubblegum-pink.raging-fires.gz Bubblegum Pink: Raging Fires]'' (gzip file) by Kris Overstreet and Larry Mann (Warning: [[Lemon]]. Oh man, is it lemon.)
* Recommended by [[User:Looney Toons|Looney Toons]], Dartz-IRL, antagonist, Jeanne H, Night
* ''Pairing(s):'' Everybody/Everybody
* ''Synopsis:'' "There it is! Smut, pure and simple, straight from the 8th dimension by way of Planet Ten!" Ahem. When Mackie's nanophage-modified nervous system triggers an uncontrollable hormonal overdrive, Sylia knows from her own experience that his rampaging libido must be sated or he will die.
* ''Comments:'' The single most infamous lemon story in the history of anime fanfiction, to the point that ''BGC'' Usenet groups react instinctively with the acronym "DYO!" (short for "Damn you, Overstreet!") to any mention of it — or anything even vaguely like it. (Which isn't really fair, since no one ever gets on Larry Mann's case for his half of the writing.) Little more than a massive orgy precipitated by the flimsiest of excuses extrapolated from canon material, and everyone is hugely out of character as much for humorous purposes as for sexual. Most don't seem to realize it, but ''Bubblegum Pink'' is as much a spoof of over-the-top [[Porn Without Plot]] fics as it is one itself.
** Dartz-IRL: Once you read this fic, you will never be able to buy a packet of LIDL's frozen sweetlings with a straight face again.
*** antagonist: (Sweetling) :P
** antagonist: It's not a [[Porn Without Plot]]. There is plot in it, since it does describe Sylia's struggle to find out what exactly is wrong with Mackie and drawing up a plan for his recovery on short notice. And to be honest, it could've been worse (Mackie/Mason or Mackie/Largo, anyone? Not to mention Quincy/anybody).
** Shay Guy: When was it written? There's no date, and Google Groups doesn't have it. The directory page indicates that it couldn't have been later than May 1997, but it also has a '97 date for ''[[Undocumented Features]]'' 1. (Is it really more infamous than ''Artemis's Lover''?)
** Jeanne H: First appearing in mid-1997, this is the great-grandmother of the mother of the mother of all lemon fics. As the authors themselves write "This story involves incredibly gratuitous sexual situations, portrayed in an extremely graphic, lewd, and silly fashion." Definitely NOT for anyone offended by such things, easily or otherwise. Definitely recommended for readers with a sense of humor about such things. I think this is absolutely one of the funniest fics I've ever read, lemon or otherwise.
** The Fifth Horseman: If you're going to read it, do so on your own responsibility. Because once read, the thing is impossible to forget. Ever.
** Night: Children, please pay attention: this stuff is hilarious, and it's actually pretty good as lemons go, and nobody went terribly fetishistic with it either so it appeals to nearly anyone. Don't give me that shocked expression. You're not that innocent, you're using the Internet. Read it and laugh, or read it and enjoy other ways. It's worth your while.
