Awkward sex recs

The other day [livejournal.com profile] chresimos asked for fics with good awkward sex scenes, since that's a favorite thing of mine. A few immediately came to mind...

The Hang of It (NC-17, Harry/Ron) by [livejournal.com profile] resonant8 is a great example of how a first-time sex scene can be realistically awkward, and still hot. There's also a companion piece from Ron's POV, Hanging (NC-17).

Resonant's sex scenes in general are usually pretty realistic -- I also like Down, You Lie Down Too (NC-17, Snape/Harry) a lot for that -- so check her out.

Contrition (NC-17, Harry/Ron) by [livejournal.com profile] weatherby is way up there among my top favorite stories. It's dark, but not non-con, and certainly fulfills the awkward sex requirement.

But unfortunately, my poor brain can't remember the names of most of the fics I read, nor where I read them, and when all you can remember about a fic is that it's the one where Remus and Sirius have awkward sex in Grimmauld Place, it's gonna be tough to find.

So, help! Rec us your favorite awkward sex scenes. No grand passion, no purple prose -- just real people having real ouch-you're-on-my-hair sex.

Feel free to mention non-HP fics that fit the bill, especially if it's a fandom [livejournal.com profile] chresimos or I might know.

I'm really hesitant to name one of my own stories (as you can see--I've dithered all this time about posting!), but I think the blow-job scene in The Devil is a Liar is pretty awkward.

Self-pimpage is acceptable. ^_^
