All very common slash tropes in any fandom. Probably since the Kirk/Spock days. Most people who write slash fiction have likely not had the experience of a cock up their ass, so they follow the leader.
Lots of slash fic is heteronormative. Anal sex = full connection, trumpets, true love. After all, blow jobs, frottage, wanking, cigars, etc are not real sex. And real sex is essential for couples to be really in love. And to make babies. Etc. Or something?
As for assuming there is lube...I dunno, when I read a fic with no mention of lube, I assume the writer is clueless (I have had to read about one to many self-lubing assholes), not that they assume we will know it is there because, well, duh. Glass half empty or half full sort of thing I guess?
As for preparation being mental, I do agree, but (er, tmi) I generally find physical preparation really important too. For me. I can't speak for Jack or Ianto. :P
