i would vote in this poll, but i am ridic about always hoping that someone will be able to pull off the crack-fic, they-are-~magical~ and i have read a secret hustler (well, AU where one was a hustler? and then became a CSI?) story and enjoyed it, so.
but i applaud your principles! (ugh, "his lover." >_<)
If we're talking about a fandom that's supposed to be all about gritty realism, the magical randomness bothers me more. But since I spend a lot of time in fandoms where that kind of crack can be pulled off pretty easily, I'm generally more annoyed by the sekrit hustler thing.
Honestly? I'd read both of those stories. -__-" And probably like them secretly, as long as they were well written.
Though in a gritty, realistic show, I think the magical premise would bother me a little more. The hustler - well, provided that it's well written and EPIC (the kind of long h/c fic with lots of tears on the way and a happy ending with two people in love) I think I'd like reading it on my bad-mood-days. ^-^
Plus, when it comes to crime shows: If Abby from NCIS ever off-handedly mentioned that she worked as a domina in college "just for fun", I'd totally buy it. ;P
The magical premise on the other hand... the only fic I'd read like that would be if it was CSI's Gil Grissom being the shapeshifter, just for the joy of reading about his team going "Oh, so in reality you're a fairie whose normal social structure has a lot in common with that of insects and who can fly and can spread poison? That ...explains so much." XD
