Have you ever closed your eyes and fantasized, just for a second, what it is those rugged men in Ammon Bundy's militia do when the lights turn low and the occupiers gather to stay warm by the soft glow of the fire?

No? OK, maybe a little bit? It's all right, you're not alone.

Aspiring erotic-fiction writers are imagining steamy scenes between militia members and sharing their fan fiction under the hashtag #bundyeroticfanfic.

Here, one man presses another into a rack of "Birds of Oregon" books as the steam strands of their jerky-scented breath dance in the moonlight. There, only the sound of Carhartt pants un-zippering pierces the night's silence.

The hashtag appears to have been created on Tuesday by Colin Meloy, frontman of the Portland-based rock band The Decemberists, days after a group of armed men took over a remote outpost in the Oregon wilderness to protest the federal government's ownership of state lands.

This is the spark that lit the flame:

"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

Responses to his call for submissions showed fans of Meloy — and erotic fan fiction — just what was possible.

@colinmeloy Ammon ran a hand through Ryan's hair, then eased him down, whispering "I grant you unlimited grazing rights." #bundyeroticfanfic — Eric Heidle (@Ericheidle) January 7, 2016

Soon it began to take off, and by early Thursday morning it was a trending topic on Twitter.

"Feeling pretty proud of my country tonight. #BundyEroticFanFic is trending," Meloy tweeted. We reached out to his management for comment on what he thinks about all this success, and we'll add to the story once we hear back.

For now, we'll say this: these tweets are perfect.

They're part criticism of the occupying militia's goals, part Brokeback Mountain sexual liberation, painting scenes of weather-hardened ranchers finding romance in the most unexpected places.

As Cletus gazed longingly at Ammon's naked body, he finally understood the real fight for grazing rights. #BundyEroticFanFic — Catherine (@deja1422) January 7, 2016

Some tweets criticize the things the Bundy militia have publicly done, such as this one, which pokes fun at the group's widely teased request for snacks.

#bundyeroticfanfic The small improvised washtub was filled with two things: Cletus... and Cheetos. "C'mon, Ammon," he purred. "Snack time." — Skip Mendler (@smendler) January 7, 2016

Others are simply jokes about guns — the militia has been toting their rifles and sidearms.

Ammon exercised his right to Jed's bare arms, stroking his fingers lightly down until he reached Jed's loaded weapon. #bundyeroticfanfic — Laura Packard (@lpackard) January 7, 2016

"Did you bring condoms?" Jed whispered. "Not to worry, we're protected by the 1st and 2nd Amendment" Ammon replied. #bundyeroticfanfic — J Julian Christopher (@JulianChristo) January 7, 2016

"But they'll hear us," Ammon whispered breathlessly. "No, they will not," Jason replied, "I'm using a silencer." #bundyeroticfanfic #fb — Max Reddick (@MaxReddick) January 7, 2016

A few are just puns about the militia members' choices in fashion.

Ammon slid his hand inside LaVoy's flannel shirt. 'You set fire to the open range land of my soul,' he whispered." #bundyeroticfanfic — Brian Young (@BrianYoung) January 7, 2016

"I want you to take me like Obama takes our freedoms," Jed whispered. The sound of a Carhartt zipper was his only reply. #bundyeroticfanfic — Liandre (@canunderum) January 7, 2016

We firmly recommend you take a glance through the top tweets under the hashtag on Twitter. You won't be disappointed.
