A '''Lemon''' is a [[Fanfic]] with [[Explicit Content|explicit]] sexual content. This can range from [[Porn Without Plot|plot-what-plot]] boinkfests with no justification or explanations to exquisitely plotted and crafted stories that just happen to follow their participants into the bedroom (and through the subsequent action therein) on a regular basis. Once a common term, it's now less frequently seen, though by no means extinct.
Can be used as a noun and an adjective interchangeably: "It's a lemon story" and "it's a lemon" are functionally equivalent. Surprisingly, the term is ''not'' automatically synonymous with "bad" (although that, as the saying goes, is [[Sturgeon's Law|often the way to bet]]).
Line 12:
While the complementary term [[Lime]] still has some usage, there was actually at one time an entire "[http://ppc.wikia.com/wiki/Citrus_Scale Citrus Scale]" with various fruit code names such as [[Victim Falls For Rapist|Grapefruit]].
The trope has nothing to do with the [[Lemony Narrator]], despite the similarity of names, although combining the two would be quite interesting, especially if it were in a [[Fanfic]] featuring ''[[
Not to be confused with those [[Your Mileage May Vary|tasty, tasty fruits]], the slang term for [[The Alleged Car|a lousy car]], the Russian term for a million dollars ([[I Thought It Meant|or a hand grenade]]). Has nothing to do with [[Portal 2
Compare [[Lime]], [[Porn Without Plot]]. See also [[Slash Fic]], [[Doujinshi]], [[Rule 34]]. Frequently found in [[Kink Meme
{{examples}}
== [[Anime]] and [[Manga]] ==
* Virtually every anime series that employs and [[Unwanted Harem]] or a [[Love Dodecahedron]] has spawned lemon fanfic which resolves the problem by throwing everyone in bed together, regardless of their [[canon]] sexual preferences.
** Or it's spawned far too many lemon fanfics involving completely [[fanon]] [[Shipping]], that usually involve a lot of character bashing; of course invoking [[Die for Our Ship]]. Well, actually, the said description accounts for most of the lemon fanfics on the web, just [[yaoi]]. It's much more common when it's about a series with a [[Love Dodecahedron]] or [[Unwanted Harem]], though.
** Ironically, there's a tendency for anime with ''more'' [[Fan Service]] to get ''fewer'' lemon fics. It could be that high-fan service anime tends to be derided as not being anything more than that. Or it could be that watching the [[Beach Episode]] provides enough sexual perversion for people to just enjoy that. Regardless of whether or not the male lead is involved or not.
* ''[[Ranma ½]]'' has/had a such large fanfic community that at one time there were ''several'' archives devoted solely to lemons, such as the [http://stfan.free.fr/ Ranma 1/2 Lemon Story Archive].
* ''[[Sailor Moon]]'' lemons were as common as corn flakes back in the day. Usagi/Rei, Ami/Makoto, and orgy stories were particularly common.
* ''[http://web.archive.org/web/20030413221154/http://ucsu.colorado.edu/~andersor/fanfic/fanfics/aikan.html Aiken Muyo]'' ("dead" copy at the [[Wayback Machine]]) by "Happosai" explores one possible resolution to the Tenchi-Ayeka-Ryoko [[Love Triangle]] in ''[[Tenchi Muyo! Ryo-Ohki]]'' that allows for a wide variety of physical intimacies between Tenchi and the girls. It is also noteworthy for incorporating elements of the infamous gag [[Image Song]] ''[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=oyLvAp70eLI Call Me Princess]'' and its "S&M Queen Ayeka" directly into a serious extrapolation of Juraian culture, traditions and mores -- and what effects those traditions and mores have on the relationship(s) between the three. (Not to mention the reader will never look at Sasami the same way again after the scene where she sighs romantically at the thought of someday meeting a guy willing to accept her whip...)
* ''[[Death Note]]'': roughly a quarter of all stories for it on fanfiction.net are rated M.
* If you're looking around ''[[Dragonball Z]]'' fics, eight out of ten times what you find are Vegeta/Bulma lemons.
** Cell "absorbing" Android 18 or [[Yaoi|Android 17]] is also a popular topic.
*** That, and Cell [[Prison Rape|raping Frieza in hell]]. Different takes on hell, the Oni, and the terrain aside, it ''will'' have Cell beating Frieza up and then raping him. Hard.
* Even though the most popular couple in the ''[[Hellsing]]'' fandom is [[Bodyguard Crush|Alucard/Integra]], most fans seem to prefer the lemon stories with [[Mentor Ship|Alucard/Seras]].
** Interestingly enough, the Alucard/Integra lemons are less likely to be out of character than those for Alucard/Seras. Make of that what you will.
* In the ''[[Naruto]]'' fandom, there are so many [[Portmanteau Couple Name|NaruHina]] lemons out there that one could get tired of seeing Naruto licking ramen off of Hinata.
* The various ''[[Digimon]]'' series have a long, strange history with this. They spawned not one but two ''massive'' archive sites (the digiartists domain and the now-defunct Digimon Hentai Zone) which pretty much immediately got into a turf war with each other. Some authors, most notably Red Rover, wrote sagas long enough to require multiple volumes if published.
** Things got even weirder when the third series, ''[[Digimon Tamers]]'', came out. By now, Toei seemed to be actively ''encouraging'' the creation of digi-smut, prompting localizer Saban to take drastic action, at one time having Renamon suggest that all digimon are asexual.
** On the other hand, there was a fairly large "Hentai Free" movement in the ''Digimon'' fandom, adding yet another side to the turf war.
* ''[[Pokémon]]'', dear lord. Ash/Misty, Jessie/James, Brock/Misty, Ash/Gary, Misty/Jessie, human/Pokémon, Pokémon/Pokémon...you name it, people wrote lemons about it.
** Words cannot describe [http://www.fanfiction.net/s/5513199/3/Multiple_Penetrations ''this'' delightful fanfic] and its scene of ''Misty'' being gang raped by a dozen Wartortles.
** Or [http://www.freewebs.com/ridiculearchive/campfire.htm this.] MST, because without one this would be unbearable.
** Though there are very few lemon game, or ''[[Pokémon Special]]'', fanfics, the anime is chock full of lemons. Especially during the 2000-2006 period.
** Of course, we can't forget the ''[[Pokegirls]]'' offshoot, where the [[Mons]] are [[Cute Monster Girl]]s in need of hot d*ckings...
** And of course, ''[[The Pokémon Story]]''.
* Since it has all the different types and tastes of [[The Beautiful Elite]], ''[[Bleach]]'' understandably has more than plenty of these, ranging from simple lemons to rape, threesomes, whorehouses and the like, which generally involves the [[Five Man Band]].
* ''[[Axis Powers Hetalia]]'': You can find a pairing for anything -- ''especially'' [[Anything That Moves|France]]. Have some [[Cargo Ship|France]] [[Squick|x]] [http://www.fanfiction.net/s/5891235/1/Madamoiselle_bChaise_b Chair].
** This Troper has a friend who read a lemon Fanfic involving Turkey x his mask. [[Your Mileage May Vary|Sadly]], I cannot find it.
** Not a fanfiction, but there is in fact a Gilbird/Prussia doujinshi. With Prussia being the bottom and Gilbird growing a human body.
** Behold, [http://www.fanfiction.net/s/6580306/1/ Lettuce/America in all its wonderful glory.]
** [http://www.fanfiction.net/s/5293272/1/Icelands_Fridge Iceland/Fridge].
* The ''[[Bubblegum Crisis]]'' fic ''[http://archives.eyrie.org/anime/BGC/Lemon/bgc.lemon.bubblegum-pink.raging-fires.gz Bubblegum Pink: Raging Fires]'', by Kris Overstreet and Larry Mann, proved that it's possible to write a lemon crackfic years before the idea of crackfic took hold.
== [[Film]] ==
* To the pleasant surprise of a few slash fans, the ''[[Treasure Planet]]'' fandom popped out a fan novel called ''[http://www.mediafire.com/?7c42x44qb4f1ycy Navigational Error]'' with some magnificently horrible lemon scenes, one of which involves an anthropomorphic octopus and bird.
== [[Literature]] ==
* ''[[Good Omens]]''. About 80% of the fanfics out there are Aziraphale/Crowley.
* ''[[Harry Potter]]'' fanfic involving Draco/Harry couplings ("Drarry") have proven particularly popular.
** As illustrated [http://theothersarshi.deviantart.com/#/d3eg57d here].
** A close second has to be the "Harmony" (Harry/Hermione) lemons, followed by the "Harry's Harem" stories.
** Really, due to the sheer size of the fandom ([[Fanfiction.net]] has 846,000 ''and counting''), this has been done with everyone. Including [[Crack Pairing|Lucius/Draco's skull]].
** ''[[My Immortal]]''.
** Enters [[Squick]] territory when you consider that a significant portion of fics center around underage children.
*** Yeah, because we all know children ''never'' have sex with each other in [[Real Life]].
* ''[[Twilight (novel)|Twilight]]''{{'}}s fanfiction is, well, pretty much this. It's not shocking, considering the fact that the creator spent three books building up [[Unresolved Sexual Tension|UST]], only to use the ol' [[Sexy Discretion Shot]].
== [[Live-Action TV]] ==
* The ''[[Firefly (TV series)|Firefly]]'' fandom has made a lot of these, from stuff with Simon and Kaylee to River and Mal to River and Kaylee to Jayne and River to River, Kaylee and Mal. If you're lucky, not at the same time. The most creepifying thing is that they all have the writing style down and the characters stay in character and manage to make these parings sound gorram reasonable!
** Ironically, one of the couples with the lowest lemon count on most fanfic sites is Zoe and Wash, the only two main characters who are married, or in a committed relationship of any kind.
* Anything once found at [https://web.archive.org/web/20200428154656/http://t-s-s-a.com/ the Television Sex Stories Archive].
* A good number of ''[[Sherlock]]'' fanfiction is Sherlock/Watson slashfic lemons. Some are quite well plotted and poetic. Others are... not.
* ''[[Agony in Pink]]'', the ''[[Mighty Morphin Power Rangers]]'' lemon so notorious, it's [[Banned in China|BANNED IN AUSTRALIA]].
* Not only do ''[[Buffy the Vampire Slayer]]'' and ''[[Angel]]'' have a lot of this, they often involve [[Kiss of the Vampire|someone getting sired]].
== [[Music]] ==
* There was, in days gone by, a sexually explicit [[ABBA]] Agnetha/Frida slashfic so notorious that it soured the ''entire ABBA fan community'' on all fanfic for years afterwards. Granted, this was partially because the idea of shipping [[Real Life]] celebrities struck most fans as insanely disrespectful, and partially because they were blissfully unaware of how squicky and poorly-written erotic fanfic could really be.
== [[Video Games]] ==
* ''[[The Legend of Zelda: Ocarina of Time]]'', with its plethora of [[Shipping]] bait, has spawned some. Some that go into [[Too Much Information]] regarding an imaginary married life. Some with a [[Relationship Sue]]. And some that don't even seem to know that [[Samus Is a Girl|Sheik's a woman]] [[Sweet Polly Oliver|in disguise]]. A [http://kasuto.net/fanfic.php?main=fanfic/one_sweet_lemon.html&top=fanfic/anonymous2_menu.html short parody] plagiarizing ''[[Dave Barry]]'s Guide to Marriage and/or Sex'' got written anonymously as a result.
** ''[[My Inner Life]]'', summed up.
** There are also a ''ton'' of ''[[The Legend of Zelda: Twilight Princess|Twilight Princess]]'' Midna/Link lemons. It gets a bit squicky for some when you think about Midna's size compared to Link's... well, size.
*** To be fair, {{spoiler|Midna does have her true (full sized) form,}} that's used in just as many lemons.
* There is an ''[[EarthBound]]'' lemon, ''[http://www.fanfiction.net/s/5948429/1/PK_Love PK Love]'' by "SuperNormalMan" (obviously pretty NSFW and [[Squick]]y, what with the age and all) between Ness and Paula. And another one with [[Mother 3|Lucas]] [[Shotacon|and]] [[Crossover|Ness]]. And Lucas and [[Squick|Claus]].
** There was also a particularly squicky one involving an aged-up Lucas and Kumatora. It was quickly canceled after severe fan backlash.
* About [[Ludicrous Precision|98.62310894325%]] of all ''[[Kingdom Hearts]]'' lemons are yaoi of some kind. Yes, even the emotionless Nobodies.
** More like ''[[Especially Zoidberg|especially]]'' the emotionless Nobodies.
* ''[[Dragon Age II]]'' has a character, [[Really Gets Around|Isabela]], who writes ''in-universe'' lemons. We hear a couple of lines from one; apparently [[The Storyteller|Varric]] thinks it's pretty hot.
=== [[Visual Novels]] ===
* For all ''[[Umineko: When They Cry]]'' fans, read ''[http://www.fanfiction.net/s/5254999/1/Headache Headache]'' and see if you'll look at Natsuhi the same again. (Reader's Discretion is Advised)
** For more changed opinions on ''Umineko'', read [http://www.fanfiction.net/s/5386020/1/The_Ushiromiya_Rape_Fest this one] (VERY NSFW).
== [[Web Comics]] ==
* Lemon ''[[Pride and Prejudice]]'' fanfiction is parodied, not to mention Mr. Darcy's [[Memetic Sex God]] status, in [http://www.harkavagrant.com/index.php?id=120 this] ''[[Hark! A Vagrant]]'' strip.
== [[Web Original]] ==
* Parodied in some ''[[The Legend of Zelda CDI Games|Zelda]]'' [[YouTube Poop]]s, such as ''[http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=tZL6YHLwn9M The King's Secret]'' or ''[http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=VtMiNRDT5IM Link's First Date]''.
* Roughly 90% of ''[[That Guy With The Glasses]]'' fic is this, but then again, if you knew how long the site's fetish fuel pages once were, it wouldn't be at all surprising. They were practically encouraging it.
== [[Western Animation]] ==
* ''[[Avatar: The Last Airbender]]'' lemons... Hello, Katara! Meet [[Incest Is Relative|incest]], [[Interspecies Romance|bestiality]], [[Arson, Murder, and Jaywalking|and]] [[Foot Focus|Toph's toes]]!
** Not to mention [[Power Perversion Potential|firebending]], water/bloodbending...
* Almost every ''[[South Park]]'' story seems to be a [[Slash Fic]] and a Lemon. Most lemons are involving [[Heterosexual Life Partners|Stan/Kyle]] and [[Foe Yay|Cartman/Kyle]]. ''Especially'' Cartman/Kyle, since Cartman is a [[Manipulative Bastard|manipulative, sick, eccentric bastard]].
* The ''[[My Little Pony: Friendship Is Magic]]'' community calls them "clopfics," based on the slang term for masturbation. It's a... controversial... subset of the fandom, but an active one.
