It was inevitable that the armed militia standoff in Oregon would eventually become the subject of homoerotic fan fiction. And now that time has arrived.

The Twitter hashtag #BundyEroticFanFic is the funniest thread you will read all day. You don’t even have to be super-into homoerotic fiction or armed militias to enjoy the social media twist into which this news story has stumbled.

Colin Meloy of the Portland-based band, The Decemberists began the trend this past Tuesday:

“They huddled together for warmth. The cold of Ammon’s Ruger 22 against Brian’s naked thigh sent a thrill up his spine.” #bundyeroticfanfic — colin meloy (@colinmeloy) January 6, 2016

“Jason pressed Jed against a rack of “Birds of Oregon” books; his breath was sweet with jerky. Somewhere, an egret cried” #bundyeroticfanfic — colin meloy (@colinmeloy) January 6, 2016

“‘It ain’t snacks I’m hungry for, Trevor.’ Ryan’s heart was beating wildly beneath the quilted flannel of his shirt.” #bundyeroticfanfic — colin meloy (@colinmeloy) January 6, 2016

From there, an inspired public tweeted forth:

“Don’t cry Ammon, they did this at Valley Forge; for warmth…and for freedom.” #bundyeroticfanfic @colinmeloy — LeftDial (@LeftDial) January 6, 2016

@colinmeloy With his hand on Ryan’s chest, he felt the passion beneath his pocket-sized copy of the US Constitution. #bundyeroticfanfic — ⭐Maisbikkja (@Maisbikkja) January 6, 2016

Atop a bluff, Ammon undid his trousers to relieve himself. From behind came Jed. “Let me hold it. Your hands are cold” #BundyEroticFanFic — alex walentin (@alexWalentin) January 6, 2016

@colinmeloy “Not on top of my copy of Atlas Shrugged,” he almost said. He let it happen. Someone passed him using the US flag as a towel. — Boozy Hobo (@Boozy_Hobo) January 6, 2016

#bundyeroticfanfic Ammon hesitated. “Isn’t this against the laws of nature?” “Laws?” panted Dwight, “We make our own laws, Ammon.” — Remittance Girl (@remittancegirl) January 7, 2016
