I'm squicked out by any combination where I think the author is too obviously ignoring the characterisation just to fullfill some kink, whether the kink is LJ getting it on with T-Bag (or Michael) or Michael getting it on with a MarySue or Character A or Character B getting their instant happily ever after with lots and lots of babies.
In that way an out of character schmoopy instant Michael/Sara where both of them sound like twirly teenagers, a fic where Michael randomly declares his love for a cross-dressing MarySue would squick me out pretty much on the same level as T-Bag raping LJ and LJ enjoying it. For me, in fanfiction, the author should ideally serve the characters. When I get the impression that in this case the characters serve the author that's a reason for me not to like a fic.
I think the thing about Prison Break is that there are a lot of violent and sex laden scenarios that would be completely in character. T-Bag raping LJ would no doubt be horrifying, but does anybody doubt that as a character T-Bag would do it in a second if given the chance? Same goes for all fics where T-Bag has fantasies of Michael. Same goes for all fics where T-Bag molests Seth or has sex with Maytag. In these cases, just because people don't like to think about it, doesn't mean that it isn't true and that stuff like this didn't 100% take place between the lines. Of course T-Bag was violently raping Seth while Michael was out exchanging googly eyes with Sara, that's just the nature of the world they live in.
