Jamie Fraser from the _Outlander_ series. I don’t know if I’d call it a craving, but I wouldn’t kick him out of bed. Also, Ranger from the Stephanie Plum books. Now _that_ I’d call a craving. ---

Scheherazade. Not only is she beautiful, but she knows a **lot** of stories. ---

I’m going to a particularily nasty corner of hell for this one but: Brother Cadfael! not in is soldier days but thee monk Cadfael mmmmmmm… Melrose Plant… glittery green eyes ohhhhhhh… Antryg Windrose… I like tall gawky guys with broken glasses Most of Dick Francis’ heros I was actually thinking of Derek Franklin from “Straight” last night ina sexual manner. SANDTIGER! 'nuff said Corwin and his son Merlin that would be a fun threesome Most of Anne MCCaffrey’s males:D ---

ohhh I forgot one Josh from “Lamb” thats another fiery corner of hell for me…fortunately I don’t believe in Christian hell:D Does the ancient Egyptian king Thutmose III count? He lived so long ago, ca 1479- 1429 BCE, that anything written about him is borderline fiction anyway. But man was he sessy boy! ---

I will second the vote for Ranger (and I wouldn’t kick Morelli out of the bed for eating crackers either) from the Stephanie Plum series. Before the series devolved, I would have gone for just about any guy from the Anita Blake books. Now, I’ve got a weakness for Doyle from the Meridith Gentry (is 2 books a series?) books. Is it wrong to want to say “Bark for me baby!”? Oh - and while we’re Pratchett-ing, I call Carrot - red hair always does it for me. Susan ---

Severus Snape Lord Vetinari Those are the only two I can think of off the top of my head. ---

Rowr. Lessee. Like many women of taste, I share a singular fascination for Sam Vimes and Havelock Vetinari. But I’d more want to cuddle up with the first one. I have mad dark wicked thoughts about Vetinari. I may be mentally unstable. Aragorn was my first book crush ever. Comes from reading LotR as a prepubescent girlie. Remus Lupin’s utterly fab, but my heart belongs to the snarky Snape. Goodness, it sounds like I have issues. ---

I’ve always been a pervy hobbit fancier, so Frodo. Mr. Rochester from Jane Eyre. Phantom/Eric from Phantom of the Opera, in a romantic outcast, not a horror-slasher flick kind of way. Alex from A Clockwork Orange. Raistlin, from the D&D Dragonlance series. I like my men kind of tragic… ---

Ah haa, another pervy hobbit fancier. But Sam will kill you if you try anything… Anyway: I just remembered Jack Sawyer (Black House, not Talisman!). He is sweet. ---

> [@](#): > > \*Originally posted by scr4 \* > \*\*Mmm, tough choice. 😉 \*\* Well, they’re both taken 😛 Hmmm… Havelock Vetinari… Nice… Oh and Wolfgang - Angua’s brother in “The Fifth Elephant”. I think I have a thing for the “bad” boys. Does this mean I have incestuous fantasies? [Previous page](https://boards.straightdope.com/t/literary-characters-you-crave-sexually/198322.md?page=2)
