Hello! I'm sombregods here, on tumblr, & on ao3. Thank you for writing for me! :D :D

DNWs for this exchange: DNWs: scat, noncon, infidelity, extreme underage, major and permanent character death.

Likes:

loyalty kink 5ever. Blind shows of devotion, oath-swearing, boot-kissing, kneeling, self-sacrifice — honestly anything that falls under 'both characters are utterly devoted to each other' makes my heart bump;
friends to lovers, especially if they're incredibly, unhealthily codependent, and would die for each other without a second thought; pair it with mutual pining to make it hurt;
second chances! hard reunions! bitterness and resentment! casual cruelty and lingering feelings ...
soulbonding, especially if the connection is emotional and physical and sensory;
enemies to lovers, +++ if they have a heavy history. I adore friends turned enemies, lovers turned enemies, people who've been forged into enemies by circumstances or misunderstandings, and who still consider each other the most important person in their lives. Hatesex and protectiveness are a plus.
competence kink;
'I thought you were dead' angst. THE BEST. THE ACTUAL BEST.
forced proximity, especially if paired with enemies to lovers or pining or both;
corruption to the dark side, becoming the villain, fall from grace, etc;
hurt/comfort, with an emphasis on woundcare and fevers, or whipping/flogging. I love bedside vigils, fever sex, feverish confessions.
anything that touches on the divine, especially killing or eating a god. I love strong sensory and/or mystical components to this — prophecies, dreams, visions, voices, dead gods, resurrected gods, mundane godliness, penance, confession, stigmata ...
villains in love, of the 'I would burn the world down for you' variety.
worlds or societies in which being oneself (one's gender, sexuality, race, religion, social status) is repressed or forbidden by the powers that be;
revolts, revolutions, rebellions;
costume porn <3
fantasy worldbuilding;
kissing! kissing too desperately to stop, frantic makeouts in the midst of danger, slow and tender kisses in bed, light kisses hello ...
manhandling in a sexual situation, and fighting in general; sparring that leads to sex; being pinned down by the wrists; slapping or biting in bed;
religion kink & heresy;
under-negotiated kink;
frottage, dry humping, rubbing on top of clothes, etc;
virginity as contrasted with experience, especially if the virgin has sworn an oath of chastity or celibacy and is forced to break it;
dubious consent across the board.

Captain America

Ships: James "Bucky" Barnes/James "Bucky" Barnes, Peggy Carter/Steve Rogers, James "Bucky" Barnes/Steve Rogers, James "Bucky" Barnes/Peggy Carter/Steve Rogers.

Feel free to ignore Infinity War/Endgame.

Prompts:

Bucky/Bucky: I adore fics in which a Bucky (Brooklyn Bucky! WWII Bucky! the handsome young man with a bright future!) encounters a later version of himself, whether that's the WS or the quieter, more resigned CACW Bucky. I love the collision of younger!Bucky's dawning, horrified realization that this is him—who he'll become—and older!Bucky's reaction to seeing his more innocent past self. Porn is a bonus.
Bucky/Peggy/Steve: wartime OT3, man. I love every variation of them. I'd love to see some of their work in London, how they diverted themselves, how Steve is dealing with his new body and Peggy with her duties and Bucky to what has been done to him in Zola's lab; if they decide to cope by fucking a lot, I'm all for it.
Peggy/Steve: okay, I know I said ignore Endgame, but alternately: FIX ENDGAME. BRING PEGGY TO THE FUTURE. Woman out of time!! And Steve, still dealing with his own shit, having to wrap his head around a sudden chance at the great love he'd thought he'd lost, forever.
Bucky/Steve: oh, I adore every single possibility for this ship. Brooklyn boys, still young and dealing with their bodies; Howling Commandos, sneaking around the others' backs; TWS canon divergence where Bucky stays, or breaks through his conditioning sooner; CACW AU where Steve finds him earlier ... getting together, established relationship, I don't care: all that matters is that they find each other again.

Discworld

Ships: Maladict/Polly Perks, Sacharissa Cripslock/Adora Belle Dearheart, Adora Belle Dearheart/Susan Sto Helit

Prompts:

Mal/Polly: I'd love to see post-canon getting together. At war, dealing with their rank difference; in Ankh-Morpork, as ambassadors, perhaps; casefic or porn ... more about Polly and her relationship with Death, Maladicta and the Black Ribboners, superhuman strength vs. human ingenuity and sheer brass — hell, I'd be delighted by a coffeeshop AU (an AM coffeeshop, mind).
Adora Belle/Sacharissa, Adora Belle/Susan: HOLY SHIT, PERSON WHO NOMINATED THIS, YOU ARE A GENIUS. I would love love love to see Adora and Sacharissa locked in a battle of wits in the Times (Sacharissa is reporting on the death of Adora's brother, perhaps? or her work with the golems?), in a You've Got Mail kind of setup. OR unflappable Adora and Susan attending the same school and then reconnecting years later, when Adora has lost so much and Susan has gained a grandfather ... orrrrrr even go for the OT3 route?

The Untamed

Ships: Lán Zhàn | Lán Wàngjī/Wèi Yīng | Wèi Wúxiàn

Prompts:

I'm asking specifically for the Untamed because it is the one version of canon I have (as of sept. 12) consumed in its entirety. That doesn't mean you can't pick information from the novel: I have been spoiled for most of it, and don't mind being spoiled some more.
post-canon sweetness! I'd love something that deals with the immediate aftermath of the very last shot—WWX's smile and everything it means for their future—but I'd also be down for a story that explores how they can fit their relationship and their duties together; how they make it work. Plus, seeing as the show never (for understandable reasons) gives us an outright confession (and a smooch), I'd love some take on how that might happen.
On the spookier side, a fic that explores how dark WWX's YiLing Patriarch powers can become would be awesome. Or! What if, in being offered Mo XuanYu's body, WWX came back ... wrong?
Outsider pov!! Jiang Cheng and WWX's relationship is my fave gen relationship in canon, and I just want them to go over their differences once and for all and become bros again ;___________; alternatively: JC's saaaaaaalt when faced with the marrieds blissfullness of WangXian. Other possibility: Lan Sizhui, dealing with suddenly having not one adopted dad, but TWO adopted dads :D
I'm also down for a modern AU, if you want to take it that way! social media fics are always a particular favourite.

Original Work

Ships: Sensible King/Arrogant Prince of Foreign Country Who's Very Good in Bed, Rich Introverted Gentleman/His Charming Outgoing Male Friend Who's Refused Every Past Suitor, Queen/Assassin Sent to Kill Her (F/F), King/Assassin in His Employ (M/M), Librarian/Frequent Patron, Lowborn Male General/Warrior Prince, Night Goddess/Dawn Goddess

Prompts:

Sensible King/Arrogant Prince of Foreign Country Who's Very Good in Bed: All! The! Porn! I'm also wondering what the situation is: are they in an arranged marriage? Are they just fucking on the side even though they shouldn't? Are their countries allies or rivals? Does the Prince have an ulterior motive or is he just that charmed by how down to earth and sweet the King is? Is their relationship forbidden?
Rich Introverted Gentleman/His Charming Outgoing Male Friend Who's Refused Every Past Suitor: that just screams mutual pining to me. You can go for a bunch of different eras for this—regency or victorian or gilded age or edwardian—and feel free to include all the historical romance tropes you like: jealousy and dancing and wagers and duels. I'm a sucker for friends to lovers when the two characters know each other better than anyone else, and I could see the opposite personalities of these two both working in their favour and preventing them from seeing their love is requited.
Queen/Assassin Sent to Kill Her: There are lots of ways this can go: is the Queen a genuinely sweet, well-meaning person, and the Assassin sent to kill her falls under her charm? Or is she a dark queen, and there are some good reasons to get rid of her? Is the Assassin someone close to her, or a total stranger? Do they have a history together? Is the Assassin some kind of assassination legend, a cynical killer who works for money, or someone with principles and convictions?
King/Assassin in his Employ: this goes more along the lines of bureaucracy and day-to-day interaction. I'm very intrigued as to why the King would need a secret Assassin; I'm also wondering what relationship these two can have. Employer and employee, with money as the (original) sole connection between them? Or is the assassin deeply loyal to his king and willing to do anything for him? Are there politics involved? Does the assassin do the dirty business so that the king can remain "pure"? etc.
Librarian/Frequent Patron: I'd prefer m/m or f/f for this. Honestly, I'm kind of looking for a meetcute or a meethate for this! Something fluffy about two people slowly getting to know each other through books, for instance, or an enemies-to-lovers situation where they get locked in the library after hours. I'm also a sucker for stupid tropey misunderstandings.
Lowborn Male General/Warrior Prince: okay, 1) I am fascinated by the possible class-related ramifications of this, and 2) are they on the same side, or are they enemies? Is the General the Prince's right-hand man, or his deadliest enemy? How does the working-class origins of the general inform his relationship with someone so highborn as royalty? Is the warrior prince his prisoner? Are they enemies forced to work together for a common goal?

I really hope you have fun with this ♥ ♥ ♥

Hello! I go by sara, and am sombregods here, on tumblr, and on ao3. I'm incredibly excited for this exchange — pining is one of my absolute favourite tropes, and I am already looking forward to reading your work! :D

DNWs: infidelity, extreme underage, love triangles, scat/watersports, permanent character deaths unless otherwise indicated.

Narrative likes:

loyalty kink 5ever. I particularly enjoy stories featuring shows of devotion, oath-swearing (think verbal oaths, but also hand-kissing, sword-kissing, boot-kissing oh my god), absolute shows of trust, kneeling, abnegation, apparent betrayals in which the traitor is playing a long game, etc.
friends to lovers to the point of codependency. I love it best when the relationship isn't necessarily a healthy one—give me obsessive best friends who would literally die for each other!
conversely, enemies to lovers, but keep the codependent and obsessive relationship—they used to be friends/lovers, they have a political or social history, they disagree on some profound level that sets them apart as much as it keeps them connected, they're deeply protective in a "no one can hurt/kill you but me" way. Also, hatesex.
villains in love!!
depiction of heavy societal demands or restraints that keep the characters from acting on their attraction to each other: religion, homophobia, classism, etc.
second chances & exes reuniting, being forced to work in cohesion, especially if their relationship was a secret to everybody else. Lingering resentment and unspoken feelings, touches that mean a lot more than others might think, conversations full of double meanings.
soulbonds! feel free to go for a strong sensory/emotional/sensual connection — they might share thoughts and sensations, or get flashes of each other's vision, or feel an intense emotional resonance in moments of distress.
competence kink! give me characters who're scary good at what they do, whether what they do is fighting, keen engineering skills, astute political machinations, scholarly ambitions, detective work, thieving ... and show me how that affects the person pining.
"I thought you were dead!" angst. Seriously, I love this. Give me every variation of it.
forced intimacy, in which the pining characters are sharing a bed, a bath, a train compartment, a prison cell...
falls from grace/becoming the villain, especially if there's some seduction to the dark side happening to the pined-for character.
hurt/comfort, especially in the fever/wounds category; I love a good bedside vigil. And if the character who's been hurt is delirious to the point of fever confessions, or the character who's pining is terrified they're going to lose them, all the better!
worlds or societies in which being oneself (gender, sexuality, race, religion, social status) is repressed by the powers that be, and all the internalized shame, entanglements, and complications that result from that oppression.
social etiquette respected to the letter but concealing subtler messages.
costume porn! :D
heavy responsibilities resting on the shoulders of one, or few persons.
social class divides.
anything that has to do with religion and how it affects the characters is fascinating to me. in the context of pining, I always like it when a character is promised to a god, and has to live with their own desires as being incoherent with their faith, or with a vow of chastity, or with a life of sober belief as opposed to passion. Heresy and sacrilege are a+.
sex that relies heavily on power dynamics without there being a formal kink negotiation underway. I love d/s and/or dubcon in these contexts.
kissing! heavy makeouts or passing smooches, meaningful kisses goodbye or thankful kisses hello, kissing to distract an outsider, kissing to avoid talking, kissing in the middle of sex ...
rituals related to monarchy or hierarchy.
misunderstandings that drive the characters apart, provided they're not too far-fetched.
tenderness & violence intermingled.
conversations with double meanings, secret communication, unstated desires being expressed in different contexts.

Fandoms (note: all of my requests fall under the "feelings eventually requited" group tag.)

Sherlock Holmes — Arthur Conan Doyle

Pairings: Sherlock Holmes/John Watson (Holmes pining), Sherlock Holmes/John Watson (Watson pining), Sherlock Holmes/John Watson (both pining)

Tags: Character pines for someone they think is dead; Mutual Pining; Pining while in a Friends with Benefits arrangement; pining because character(s) worries about ruining their friendship; Undercover as a Couple While Pining; Trying to express their feelings through gift-giving; Pining while tending someone's wounds; Pining while sharing a bed; Pining character reveals their feelings while not quite lucid (hurt/drunk/etc); Pining because of internalized homophobia; Period-Typical Homophobia; epistolary pining; Hurt/Comfort; Grief/Mourning; Guilt over enjoying friendly hugs/physical closeness too much; Character pines for someone who thinks nothing of undressing casually in front of them; Character will follow the object of their pining into danger or towards certain death

Prompts:

I love H/W casefic leading to first time getting together, especially if the case they're working puts them in a prime pining position — undercover as a couple (in the most exclusive of "gentlemen's clubs" :D), turkish baths visits, being forced to share intimate quarters/a bed, etc. Anything with a focus on physicality would be a bonus: I love that Watson's narration so often focuses on Holmes' body, his hands, his sitting positions, and so on.
one of them is hurt; the other tends to him, and bedside vigils and feverish confessions ensue. I adore any variation on this scenario.
canon divergence circa. FINA through EMPT — I love stories that showcase Watson's grief, and his shock when he comes across Holmes again, in whatever circumstances. Don't be afraid of making Watson angry, to the point that Holmes has to win him back!
epistolary fic would also be great; maybe letters that span the length of years? conversations with double meanings, intimate confessions they would not dare speak aloud, letters sent or kept unsent during the Hiatus ...

The Penumbra Podcast

Pairings: Juno Steel/Peter Nureyev (both pining), Juno Steel/Peter Nureyev (Nureyev pining), Juno Steel/Peter Nureyev (Juno pining)

Tags: Pining after breaking up; Accidental soulbond while pining; Character discovers the one they're pining for suffered past trauma; Cooking as an expression of affection; A ended the relationship with B but still pines for them; Hurt/Comfort; Pining character reveals their feelings while not quite lucid (hurt/drunk/etc.); Pining character doused with truth serum; pining for someone after bad personal history between them; Mutual Pining; Fake Dating — mutual pining

Prompts:

you can decide to go for the canon S2 finale route (and everything that can happen after!) as well as imagine a canon divergence in which the reunion takes place differently; I would love both equally. That being said, I would prefer for there to be a real rift between them — I don't think they are going to reunite easily, and I would imagine Peter is very, very angry indeed, and feels conflicted about still being in love with Juno.
if you go for domestic life on board the ship, focus on how difficult their interactions must be, and how complicated any kind of kindness or physical touch would become between them! feel free to show them from an outside POV (everyone on board that ship has such distinct personalities that any of them would be amazing in that role), or to focus on how keenly Juno or Peter are feeling guilt, affection, regret, or blame. long, lingering looks, double conversations, moments of intimacy ...
I would love some outside influence to force them to interact — a truth serum would be great, as well as a good reason to go undercover as a couple, with all the awkwardness and strained feelings between them as you can add! I'd love it if Peter had no idea what exactly had gone down in Hyperion City, with Ramses/Jack and THEIA, and was to find out unexpectedly everything Juno had had to go through.

Hannibal

Pairings: Will Graham/Hannibal Lecter (Hannibal pining), Will Graham/Hannibal Lecter (both pining)

Tags: Alliance is or might be temporary; Alternate Universe; channelling pining into violence; Hurt/Comfort; Character A is bathed by Character B while pining; in denial about their attraction to the character they are pining for; Pining character reveals their feelings while not quite lucid (hurt/drunk/etc.); pining for hated character; Pining while having wound tende; Pining while imprisoned; Cooking as an expression of affection; Trying to express their feelings through gift-giving

Prompts:

I would love a Hannibal POV in a "giving gifts as a seduction tactic" scenario here — post-series, or set in S1 or S2, whatever goes — cooking for Will, and taking him in at night, and gifting him books or fish hooks, and so on. Hannibal is such an acutely sensory person in the show, and I'd love something that focuses on how much he feels Will's body too: how he smells, how he tastes, the coarse fabric of his shirt, the tone of his voice ...
this can go the other way, too — have Will intensely aware of everything Hannibal is and does.
canon divergences in general!! my favourites are S2- and S3-based divergences — Will escapes with Hannibal and Abigail in the S2 finale, goes completely down the dark side earlier on in S2, or catches up to Hannibal early in S3. How do they cope with being together in such a setting? Does Will's corruption into Hannibal's brand of evil happen all at once, or slowly? or does he resist — try to force Hannibal to temper his own actions?
anything related to food and cooking as the medium through which pining is expressed would be lovely.

Original Work

Pairings: Arrogant Empress in Exile/Her Female Secretary (both pining); Corrupt Edwardian Politician/Working-Class Revolutionary (both pining); Fantasy Librarian/Arrogant Royal (both pining); Rich Male Aristocrat/Lower Class Husband forced into Marrying Him (both pining); Female Regency Rake/Sweet Ingenue with Hidden Depths (rake pining)

Tags: Alliance is or might be temporary; Hurt/Comfort; Character pines for someone they think is dead; Arranged Marriage - mutual pining between spouses; Former Lovers pine for each other; Pining while sharing a bed; Power Imbalance Doesn't Let Them Be Together; Social Class Divide; Pining because of internalized homophobia; A pines for B while thinking B hates them; Codependency; Character pines for someone who thinks nothing of undressing casually in front of them; Conversations with Double Meanings; Guilt over enjoying friendly hugs/physical closeness too much; Obsessive Love; A pines for B while B swears fealty to A; A pining after betraying B; Starcrossed Lovers; pining while in a friends with benefits arrangement

Arrogant Empress in Exile/Her Female Secretary: I love this idea. Why is the Empress in exile? Was she deposed after a coup, and sent away with nothing but a companion? Is the Secretary a shy, devoted girl who has no idea what she's in for, or a loyal second-in-command who gets her hands dirty, or a bodyguard in disguise doing her job? Are they traveling together, forced to share quarters (or a bed!), or finding a new home in some foreign country? Is the class difference a big deal? Do they have some sort of history they have to deal with?
Corrupt Edwardian Politician/Working-Class Revolutionary: I would love some focus on the class difference and the starcrossed-lovers tension in this one, all the more so if they are both, in their own way, quite ruthless and dedicated to winning the small wars they wager. Are they old friends, from way back when they were children? Do they meet in the Revolutionary's place of work, and hate each other as much as they are attracted to each other? Do they have a enemies-with-benefits arrangement and both think they're alone in their pining?
Fantasy Librarian/Arrogant Royal: I am imagining clashes over accounting records and library shelving, ngl, but feel free to go wild on the dynamics between them! longtime friends who've been pining for years, enemies clashing over some minor administrative detail, loyalty kink, identity porn, epistolary pining ... anything goes, so long as the Librarian obeys the rule of Librarians in fiction, and is therefore sexy as fuck. ;)
Rich Male Aristocrat/Lower Class Husband forced into Marrying Him: I love the idea of spouses pining for each other — maybe even having sex, but still being unable to front up to their feelings. Why was the Husband forced to marry the Aristocrat? money? social status? family feuds? how long has it been since they were married? did they like each other beforehand, and then the forced marriage threw a spanner in the way of their attraction? or did they detest each other at first? do they share a bed? do they get jealous over friends?
Female Regency Rake/Sweet Ingenue with Hidden Depths: (I love this kind of pairing so so much. <3) In this particular case, I would like to see this jaded Rake pine and pine for the Ingenue, who remains (at first!) blissfully unaware of the affections she's awakening. Feel free to go for all the jealousy, possessiveness, exceptional tenderness the Rake might feel — and to show how the Ingenue might conceal some sharper aspects of her personality. Since this is the Regency, think helping each other dress/undress, dancing together at a ball, small gestures having a depth of meaning...

Whatever you choose to write, I hope you have fun! <3

Hello! I'm sombregods here, on tumblr, and on AO3. Thank you for writing for me; I hope we'll both have fun!

DNWs: infidelity, extreme underage, love triangles, permanent character death unless otherwise indicated.

Narrative Likes:

loyalty kink!!! blind shows of devotion, oath-swearing, boot-kissing, kneeling, self-sacrifices, abnegation, apparent betrayals.
friends to lovers, the more codependent the better. I love it when the relationship isn't quite healthy, if at all. Pairings where they mean the world to each other and would die for each other are amazing.
mutual pining: with good reason within the given world (the world/era they live in might look down on their being together due to religion/homophobia/racism/classism, etc).
second chances! exes reuniting, forced to work together, now enemies in a conflict ... lingering resentment, unspoken feelings, casual cruelty, difficult but well-earned reconciliations are a plus.
soulbonds that connect the characters emotionally and physically. I love synaesthetic metaphors, so feel free to go for a strong, sensory, emotional, sensual connection.
enemies to lovers — I love it best when they have a heavy history between them: they used to be friends/lovers, they are from generations-old rival families, they have some profound disagreement that separates them inexorably. Best tropes: forced proximity/forced to work together, really hot hatesex, "can't live with them, can't live without them", inexplicable protectiveness ...
competence kink: characters being scarily good at what they do, whether what they do is brute shows of force, keen engineering skills, astute political machinations, or scholarly ambitions.
floggings, whippings, corporal punishments in general, especially if they're endured stoically and/or administrated by a friend (who may or may not be forced into it).
"I thought you were dead!" angst. Seriously, I love this trope. Give me every variation of it.
forced intimacy: sharing a bed/bath/room/train compartment/prison cell, etc. Even better if the characters are enemies, or pining.
corruption to the dark side, falls from grace, becoming evil/a murderer, ethical concerns becoming less and less important ...
hurt/comfort, especially in the fevers/wounds category. I love a good bedside vigil. Ditto feverish confessions and hallucinations, and gentle care for very dangerous illnesses or injuries.
mortal/divinity interactions. They may be two different characters, but it can also be a divine being made mortal, or a mortal made divine. I love it when there are strong sensory and/or mystical components to this dynamic. Prophecies, prophetic dreams, visions, hearing voices, death gods, mundane godliness ... but also wounding god, killing god, eating god.
villains in love, "I would burn the world down for love of you"-style.
stoicism in the face of suffering and/or arousal.
possessiveness and obsession.
worlds or societies in which being oneself (gender, sexuality, race, religion, social status) is repressed by the powers that be, and all the internalized shame, entanglements, and complications that result from that oppression.
revolts, revolutions, rebellions, uprisings.
social etiquette respected to the letter but concealing subtler messages.
costume porn! food porn! art galleries! musical concertos!
heavy responsibilities resting on the shoulders of one or few people, and the toll these responsibilities take on their mental health/social life.
strong worldbuilding; I love worlds full of small, intricate, sensory-heavy details.

Kink Likes

tenderness & violence intermingled.
kissing! kissing too desperately to stop, interrupting sex to make out, kissing inner thighs/inside of the wrist/collarbones/bared throats...
frottage.
intercrural.
public claimings.
dirtybadwrong slavery scenarios in which the slave is as humiliated and horrified by their status as such as they are guiltily aroused by it — I'm not much into pure humiliation or outright noncon but "I shouldn't want this but I do/I hate this and I love it" = yes yes please.
religion kink, heresy, sacrilege; sex with divinity.
markings, branding, tattoos.
dubious consent across the board.
identity porn, especially with respect to the last point.
vore — even more so in magical realism.
under-negotiated kink, especially in historical or fantasy settings where the characters would not have, necessarily, the same understanding of consent and kink as they would in today's world.
body worship.
in the same vein, bootlicking, bootkissing, boot-blacking.
sex during a high fever, wounded sex, to the point that the ill/injured character may not remember everything afterwards.
sex rituals related to monarchy or hierarchy — fucking a new slave to ensure obeisance, public consummation of a marriage, etc.
face-fucking.
virginity as contrasted with experience, especially if the virginity is ritual, ie. a vow of chastity, a deliberately austere, repressed character, keeping oneself pure from earthly pleasures, etc. And what happens when they break those rituals.
manhandling in general — pinning by the wrists, the hips, the throat — fighting during sex, slapping, violent sex. Preferably mutual.
talking during sex; not necessarily dirty talk but regular conversations that continue or pick up when they're doing the do: political debates, personal convictions, strong disagreements, etc.

Fandoms

Hannibal

Group: Will Graham/Hannibal Lecter

Tags: Darkfic, Getting Together, Fix-It Fic, Established Relationship, Horror, AU — Canon Divergence, Mystery/Procedural, Interpersonal Drama, Established Relationship, Hurt/Comfort, Smut, Angst

Prompts: The darker the better, when it comes to Will/Hannibal. The fucked-upness makes the ship for me, and Will's fall from grace is one of my favourite character arcs in ... well, ever.

post-canon era: I'd love to see them honeymoon (hah), perhaps in Europe — Will adjusting to this new life, Hannibal still reeling from the vulnerability of Will's final confession; but I wouldn't imagine they'd talk about it easily. Play with that: the setting of boundaries, how far either one of them can go controlling the other, and how much bigger the dark tension between them can get. (Foodporn not obligatory but much much appreciated!)
several years into the future: I'd also love to see some outsider POV of them once they've actually settled down. Could be Jack or Alana, or just an OC: but I wonder how other people, whether they knew them as Will and Hannibal or not, would see this strange, extremely polite couple who throw expensive dinner parties and never stay in one place very long.
canon divergences: so many opportunities here! the quintessential Will-runs-away-with-Hannibal-and-Abigail scenario would be wonderful, but also Will catching up to Hannibal faster in early S3, or Abigail actually surviving the S2 finale, or some different ending to the show, minus the Red Dragon storyline. Or rewrite it a different way!
don't hesitate to go for character death for this pairing. Abuse, mind control, manipulation, forced vore, fucked-up seductions, unhealthy codependence, brutal murders ... it's par for the course.
smut! I would love something with a focus on sensory experience. Will's is exceptional, of course, and I wonder how he deals with sex. Hannibal's is refined and powerful, and I would imagine he'd want to make the experience as unique as he knows how ;)

Discworld

Group: Brutha & Om, Moist Von Lipwig/Adora Belle Dearheart, Sam Vimes & Ankh-Morpork, Polly "Ozzer" Perks and Maladicta

Tags: Darkfic, AU — Canon Divergence, AU — Genre Shift, Getting Together, Interpersonal Drama, Worldbuilding, Angst, Mystery/Procedural, Humor, Hurt/Comfort, Smut

Prompts: One of the greatest things about Discworld is that it hits almost every possible genre. It makes fic harder to write imo, but all the more rewarding.

I love, love, love Brutha and Om's relationship. It would be great to see what happens to them post-canon: Om dealing with his returned divinity, Brutha propelled into responsibility and authority, and still the two of them as individuals, who trust each other, who love each other, but who also tell it like it is and check each other's powers. A slice-of-life retelling of Brutha's life up till his death would be wonderful. And Om's relationship with his own godhood, especially after he's been made so, so human.
Vimes/Ankh-Morpork is honestly one of the best, most beautiful relationships in the whole series. "Listen, if anyone's going to burn down this city, it's going to be me." BEST. It would be nice to see some worldbuilding here: pre-series Sam, of whom we caught such a brief glimpse, but also the ways in which his behaviour has evolved, and how other people are seeing it happen (think outsider POV here!), perhaps even from Ankh-Morpork's point of view? I love characters who feel so intensely, powerfully connected to a place, and Vimes' entire character is so connected to AM, its politics, its trivial pursuits, its populace, its conflicts and its joys. Lean into that and I'll love you forever.
I'll confess that I really, really want smut for Polly/Mal. I just — the power dynamics! the loyalty! forced proximity, by virtue of their profession! Stubborn Badass Normal and her VERY VERY scary vampire girlfriend! Seriously, the sex would be so, so hot. And if you want to include some blood-sucking (or at least biting, idk) in there, I won't turn it down. Otherwise, I'd love to have them in Ankh-Morpork somehow, mingling with the Watch/Industrial characters. Maybe Mal is a relative of Otto's? Maybe Polly decides to visit William de Worde? Maybe there are Important Political Treaties to ratify and they're sent as escorts/military support?
Moist/Adora: ... again I would love some smut! They are so lovely together. Post-canon victory sex, maybe? But I'd also love to see a canon-divergence AU for these two: Moist doesn't confess, and Adora figures it out on her own; or they come in contact pre-canon and that informs their later dynamics; or the gods actually answer Moist's call, because they're bored and why the fuck not, so he's got some actually Godly Intervention to deal with — honestly, with Moist von Lipwig, the sky's the limit.

Sherlock Holmes (Arthur Conan Doyle)

Group: Sherlock Holmes/John Watson

Tags: Getting Together, AU — Genre Shift, AU — Canon Divergence, Darkfic, Angst, Mystery/Procedural, Interpersonal Drama, Smut, Hurt/Comfort, Fluff

Prompts: ACD Holmes/Watson is the equivalent of comfort food for me. The 221B drawing-room with the fire crackling, a tray Mrs Hudson brought up with tea and crumpets, Holmes engaged in chemical experiments, Watson reading medical journals, and the rain falling heavily outside ... bliss.

I would love an AU that's almost, but not quite, like the canon verse. I'm a sucker for the "pretending to be dead" trope — in fact, I can trace my love for it right back to H/W — and I've always enjoyed variations on that theme: Holmes forced to come back earlier because his Watson is in danger, Watson recognizing him in the street in his old man garb, the two of them meeting unexpectedly during Holmes' travels, perhaps somewhere in Southern France?
likewise: genre shifting! Horror! Urban fantasy! Sentinel/Guide! Master criminals! so long as it still takes place in a recognizably 19th century-ish setting, I will love it.
and yet I still adore a good casefic, especially in the Getting Together category. H/W fics are amazing at bringing in all the pining and the internalized shame historical canons are full of, and the two of them solving a case + dealing with Feelings = absolute joy forever.
smut! :D a friends-with-benefits who don't dare speak their ~true feelings is cliché as hell, but I eat it up with a spoon.

Prompts: SPACE PIRATES Y'ALL

much as I adore the S2 finale (and, uh, all of S2, really, they stepped it up big time), I'm still enjoying different takes on Juno and Peter's reunion. Casefics are ideal for this setting, but you could also go for the good ol' "oh no, he's been taken prisoner, I must save him" narrative (leaving to your discretion who's doing the kidnapped and who's doing the rescuing).
second chances!! exes forced to reunite and work together and Deal with all those lingering emotions and attraction between them! I want every variation on that theme. What's great about the reunion as it stands is that, so far, we have very very little idea what Nureyev is thinking (I mean, he sounds pretty cold, but maybe that's just me), which means he can be anything: cold and distant, or glib and outwardly Over Juno Steel, or unfailingly polite, or genuinely glad to see him again, or or or or. I mean, I'm in favour of a) pining and b) angst, so I'm navigating more easily towards the more painful type of behaviour, but I'm open to anything.
I want all the post-TGB Vespa/Buddy please ;_____; that reunion scene in the lighthouse was everything, even from Juno's narration: the two of them as something legendary, something larger than life, and yet ... they haven't seen each other for fifteen years. Both the sheer relief and joy of finding each other again, mingled with the pain of lost time and the awareness that they're no longer who they used to be, and who they used to love. Show me the complicated feelings, the rehabituation to a shared life, the cons they pull together before they come back to Mars. + Nureyev interactions!

Prompts: Feel free to mix and match! I love unexpected twists on the original pairings, and the settings can be anything from high fantasy to urban fantasy to historical settings. PWPs and smut are also greatly appreciated ;)

Arrogant Empress-in-Exile/No-Nonsense Female Mercenary She's Hired To Protect Her: I imagine this in a sort of steampunk-ish setting, but anything from fantasy to historical can work! I would be curious to find out why the empress is in exile: was she a tyrant? did her people depose her unfairly? why are people trying to kill her? + lean in on the class difference between them! I love highkey/lowkey pairings, and there's some great potential for the pride of the empress to take a hit ... but also for the no-nonsense mercenary to be shaken out of her usual stoicism.
Idealistic Emotional Prince/His More Practical Male Adviser and Childhood Friend: again with the highkey/lowkey. A slow descent into cynicism for the emotional prince would be amazing, but if you want to go the route of fervent idealism to the point of obsession, that'd be lovely, too. I'm mostly interested in the political dealings and machinations of this kingdom; does the adviser have to get his hands dirty just so that the prince can remain "pure"? Does one of them betray — or appear to betray — the other at some point? Does one of them fall ill?
Deposed Prince Sold Into Slavery/Male Friend Who Betrayed Him: go full dirtybadwrong on this one! Spoils of war, public claiming, former feelings of affection that get twisted into intense possessiveness ... the prince might be gifted to his former friend as thanks for betrayal, or haggled over by the new courtesans. I'd love it if the prince was into it, despite himself, and the traitor knows this and takes advantage of it.
Blind Crown Prince/Prince's Guard | Bastard Prince From An Overthrown Dynasty: this is such a great idea. I'm very much into the idea that the bastard prince habours (or haboured) feelings of resentment and/or hatred towards the crown prince, to the point, perhaps, that he may be the one who caused his blindness? How did he become a prince's guard; is he lying about his identity? Does the crown prince rely on him to protect him, is he very capable himself, or is he still struggling with his loss of sight? I'm all for codependence and protectiveness and bitterness for this pairing.
Male Supervillain Who Was Pardoned Of All Crimes/Male Superhero Who's Still Mad About It: okay, the supervillain has to be a super charismatic, wealthy, handsome guy, right, who was able to feign remorse and got exonerated because he did one (1) good thing. And the superhero is this cynical asshole who wants to do good but not necessarily to be polite or kind about it. Or not! Give them the characterizations you prefer: but I would really love it if their personalities were way off-base from the expected. Forced proximity and having to work together would also be a plus.
Newly-Crowned Emperor/Foreign Prince He's Marrying But Has Never Met: I adore marriages of convenience. In this particular case, is the emperor's ascension to the throne dependent on his marriage? Has he been badgered by his counselors to marry for months, or has he gone into the match with his eyes open? How happy is the prince to leave his country and marry a man he doesn't know? public consummations of the marriage are wonderful, and I'd love it if there was a certain amount of friction between them — their families have been enemies for years, maybe, or one of them harmed someone the other cared about.
Crown Prince/Forbidden Male Knight Lover: this mainly interests me for two reasons: a) the class difference (does it bring friction between them?) b) the forbidden-love aspect. Is the prince expected to marry someone of his own station? is the knight from an outcast family? how did they meet — were they friends once, or did the knight seduce the prince for his own benefit before he caught feelings, or did they cross paths at a masked party, a la Romeo and Juliet? what is their relationship like, conflicted or the only easy thing in their lives? how much do the prince's royal responsibilities weigh with him?
Female Detective/Female Con Artist Innocent of Plot She's Investigating: I would love a noir setting for this: the cynical, hard-drinking detective, and the femme fatale who is unexpectedly innocent ... this time. If they already know each other, give them something heavy in their pasts to reckon with; if they come in contact for the first time, do insist on the high level of attraction between them: something to overcome whatever scruples the detective may be feeling.
Warrior Queen Who Rose Up And Defeated an Emperor/Foreign Royal Bride Legitimizing Her Rule: I'm curious about how the "foreign" part may be legitimizing the queen's rule. Politics and machinations = a+. I would expect a warrior queen to be an older woman, so you can definitely bring in some age difference between the two. Do they already know each other? of each other? is the warrior queen a tyrant? (yes, please.) How do they feel about the marriage: is the bride pretty much a sacrifice in exchange for peace? dubcon, if you like! shady deals! assassination attempts!

Have fun ♥

Hello! I'm sombregods over here, on AO3, & on tumblr. Thank you for writing for me! hurt/comfort is one of my hardcore kinks, so I'm pretty much guaranteed to love anything you write. <3

DNWs: infidelity, noncon, extreme underage, permanent major character death unless otherwise indicated.

Narrative Likes:

loyalty kink — blind devotion; oath-swearing; kneeling; elaborate or subtle shows of trust.
friends to lovers — especially in the together-against-the-world, codependent, "I would burn the world down for you" sense.
mutual pining — with good reason for not speaking (the world/era they live in may look down on the relationship for homophobic/classist/racist reasons); as a secret to everybody else.
second chances — exes reuniting; forced to work together; now enemies; lingering resentment, even cruelty, masking hurt; difficult but well-earned reconciliations.
soulbonds which force the characters into emotional/sensory intimacy.
enemies to lovers — forced proximity; hatesex; former friends who fell out; "no one can hurt you but me"; can't live with them, can't live without them, etc.
competence kink — characters being scarily good at what they do.
floggings, whippings, corporal punishment, esp. if it's stoically endured and the punished character doesn't let themselves break down until much later, if at all.
"I thought you were dead" angst; esp. with a great deal of grief/mourning beforehand.
forced intimacy — sharing a bed, a bath; all the more if there's mutual pining or a heavy history thrown in.
imprisonments, fairly or unfairly.
corruption to the dark side, falls from grace.
fevers, illnesses, wounds that provoke confessions or difficult conversations.
revenge, resentment, anger issues, trust issues.
divinity made mortal, or wounded, or killed.
villains in love.
stoicism in the face of suffering and/or arousal.
protectiveness and possessiveness to the point of unhealthy obsession.
"we can't ever be together because …" angst.
worlds or societies in which being oneself — gender, sexuality, race, religion — is repressed by the powers that be, and all the internalized shame or complications that might entail, especially internalized homophobia in a historical setting.
social etiquette respected to the letter but concealing subtler messages of acceptance or rejection.
costume porn!!!!

Kink Likes:

tenderness, especially if it's completely unexpected either by the character receiving it or from the character giving it.
kissing — endless make outs are a+; ditto kissing inner thighs, inside of the wrist, bared throats; also kissing so desperately they can't stop.
frottage, esp. of the frantic"can't get my hands off of you long enough to take off our clothes" variation.
intercrural.
violence disguised as gentleness, and gentleness disguised as violence; or gestures that can as easily be interpreted as either, depending on the context/who is involved/who is watching.
public claimings.
slavery scenarios in which the slave feels as humiliated and repulsed by their state as they are guiltily aroused by it — I'm not much into pure humiliation, but "I shouldn't want this but I do/I hate it but I love it" = yes yes please.
religion kink, heresy, sacrilege.
markings, brandings, tattoos.
vore, even more so in magical realism.
dubious consent across the board.
under-negotiated kink — especially in historical or fantasy settings where our 21st century understanding of consent may not be mirrored exactly; give me characters who have no idea what they're doing but holy shit they're doing it anyway
body worship.
in the same vein, bootkissing, bootlicking, boot-blacking.
sex during a high fever, maybe to the point that the feverish character can't be quite sure it happened afterwards.
sex rituals related to a hierarchy or a monarchy — ie. fucking a new slave to ensure their obeisance, public consummation of a marriage, etc.
face-fucking.
virginity, inexperience vs. experience, esp. if the virginity is ritual, ie. a vow of chastity, a deliberately austere character who keeps themselves from earthly pleasures, etc.
manhandling, pinning by the wrists/hips, fighting during sex, slapping.
talking during sex — not just dirty talk but regular conversations that are so important even the sex can't interrupt them, ie. political debates, personal convictions, strong disagreements, etc.

Fandoms

Roswell, New Mexico

The little fandom that can :') I am a sucker for pining and for reunions à la Persuasion, and it's delivering in spades.

Pairings: Michael Guerin/Alex Manes & Kyle Valenti (hurt Alex), Michael Guerin/Alex Manes (hurt Michael), Michael Guerin/Alex Manes (hurt Alex)

Tags: Angst with a Happy Ending; breakup angst; Mutual Pining; Traumatic Backstory Revelations; Prophetic Visions; Bar Room Brawl; Character's Secret Feelings Are Exposed Against Their Wishes; Drunkenness; emotional breakdown; Loneliness; Keeping the hurt secret; Fever; Feverish Confessions; Getting Back Together; Difficulty adjusting to prosthetics; Experiencing Another's Pain Through Psychic Bond; Accidental Soul Bond; Hurt/sick character isn't quite lucid; Character isn't used to being loved and shown tenderness/affection

Prompts:

more casual sex where things remain unsaid! Alex stays and then leaves, and Michael acts out in response! bar brawls, ending up in the drunk tank, drunken confessions that he doesn't remember the next day, longing glances, half-conversations and double meanings, having to act natural in front of everyone else, dismissive cruelty to protect themselves, crushed hopes that get reignited the next time they look at each other … feel free to pull out all the cliché romance tropes inherent in their dynamic; I will love them all. A tentative happy ending, maybe?
somehow, their relationship is revealed to [insert character here; Kyle would work, but Isobel or Liz & Maria would be perfect as well]. What happens next? Does either of them try to deny it? What is the other's reaction?
in the same vein, Michael's nature as an alien is revealed to Alex, in some way involving his dad, Kyle, or Max & Isobel. I would love for Michael to shut himself off in self-defence, and for Alex to have to work to understand exactly who he's been in love with for a decade.
in some fashion related or unrelated to his being an alien, Michael falls ill. Alex is, for [reasons], the one who has to take care of him. Feverish confessions ensue.
some kind of soul bonding would be excellent. Maybe it happened ten years ago, and they've been feeling each other's emotions all along without quite knowing it; maybe it happens now, and they're hit with the force of their feelings for each other all at once. Feel free to combine this with the previous prompt!
Alex is hurt — badly; run over, perhaps, or shot. Michael begs Max to heal him; Max refuses; cue furious "you'll save the person you love but not the person I love?" declarations.

Les Misérables — Victor Hugo

e/R is one of my oldest ships, and very dear to my heart. I love them best in canon era, but I can be seduced to the modern AU side if it's set in France!

Pairings: Enjolras/Grantaire (hurt Grantaire), Enjolras/Grantaire (hurt Enjolras), Enjolras/Grantaire (both hurt)

Tags: Bootkissing; Aftermath of Tragedy/Catastrophe; Both Captured - Forced to Work Together to Escape; Drunkenness; Forced to watch other character's trauma; Stoic Suffering; Time Loop; unexpected tenderness; Holding Hands; fuck or die with at least one character still being a virgin; Dysfunctional Relationships; Fever; casual/dismissive cruelty; Character expects to be punished for failure but is shown unexpected concern; Character volunteers to be punished on behalf of other character; Loyalty; Loss of Control; Sharing a Bed; Touch-Starved; Inexperienced Character is Afraid of Not Being Able to Sexually Please Experienced Partner

Prompts:

I am an absolute sucker for virgin!Enjolras. Priest of the revolution, no self-indulgences, etc. But I would imagine that he would also, for a lack of a better term, want to master the topic absolutely once he had broached it. Therefore: E coming to R before the barricade and asking if he's down to fuck? (Because, you know, bootkissing.) If you include E as tentative, touched-starved and hating it; and R half-drunk still, scared of doing the wrong thing, and yet shown unexpected tenderness — I will love it forever.
time loop! I'd love it if Enjolras was the one reliving the barricade — Grantaire has known all along that he would die for him, but Enjolras, post permets-tu, would need time to … adjust. So give him time — over and over again, his friends' deaths, Grantaire's death, his own death, in different ways, with no evident way to break the loop, but getting to see R with new eyes throughout.
say they survive the barricade — what do the National Guard do with them? You might choose to go full id, and have them in a Fuck or Die situation; or they might be thrown in jail, awaiting trial or summary execution and have to work together to escape. Undergoing punishment of some kind; seeing each other undergoing punishment; comforting each other at the end of all things.

Coriolanus - Shakespeare

Options! there are tons of them! I would love both a canon-setting and an AU-setting for these two —apocalypse, post-apocalypse, sometime in the future, totally different historical setting, fantasy? go for it.

Pairings: Tullus Aufidius/Caius Martius (both hurt)

Tags: Accidental Soul Bond; Apocalypse; Arranged Marriage To The Enemy To Cement Ceasefire/Peace Treaty; Consensual But Not Safe Or Sane; Dubious Consent; Character is used to others being afraid of them; Swordfighting; Stabbing; Stitching wounds; Sex Pollen; unexpected tenderness; Betrayal; Forced to Rely on Enemy; Daemon AU - Nonconsensual Daemon Touching; Character's worldview is irreparably shattered; Violence Disguised as Gentleness; Honour stained from halting ritual combat; comforting a berserker; Captivity; whipping/flogging

Prompts:

a daemon AU would be splendid. How do daemons act on the battlefield? What happens when one of them tries to kill the other by touching/harming his daemon?
ditto a soulbond/soulmark. I would love both variations on this, honestly—both the "we've always been soulmates and that involves trying to kill each other over and over" option and the "oh FUCK now we're soul bonded and we [feel each other's emotions/can read each other's thoughts/want to fuck our brains out]" option are delicious.
post-Martius' betrayal (first betrayal, of Rome) and defection to Aufidius' side, some sort of wound care (and maybe flashbacks to their fights)! also, bedsharing, for reasons. I love the idea of these two scarred, traumatized, battle-hardened warriors finding small unexpected comfort in each other, especially if Martius is still reeling from how completely his loyalties and worldview have shifted.
alternately: instead of killing Martius, Aufidius takes him prisoner. Cue imprisonment, punishment, whipping—both of them still hurting from the betrayal, both of them still remembering what it felt to be together. Or: an eventual arranged marriage to cement peace!

Hannibal - TV

This is the only fandom where Major Character Death would be appreciated — so long as it's either applied to both characters (ie: mutual suicide, going out in a blaze of glory) or committed by one of them unto the other (and maybe consensual, even. Or not! Up to you). It doesn't have to end in death at all, though — give them a murderingly ever after!

Pairings: Will Graham/Hannibal Lecter (both hurt), Will Graham/Hannibal Lecter (Hannibal hurt)

Tags: Alone against the rest of the world; Cooking; Assassination Attempt(s); Cleaning/treating wounds; Captivity; Character Lays Waste To Enemies Who Barely Scratch Their Loved One(s) In A Fight; Codependency; Cold bath to bring down fever; Fever sex; Consensual But Not Safe Or Sane; Emotional/Psychological Abuse; Temporary Amnesia; On the Run; fall from grace; Forced to watch other character's trauma; Guiltily Aroused by Loved One's Distress; Knife Wounds; Mistakenly Believes the Other is Dead; Protectiveness

Prompts:

so, speaking of death. I'd love to see them die infamously — surrounded by police, taking out as many as they can, maybe in an explosion of some kind. Just have them in each other's arms at the end.
alternately, have one of them believe the other is dead. Maybe Will is shot down and taken into custody while apparently dead, and Hannibal swears bloody revenge upon … well, everyone. Or Hannibal is the one who's captured, and Will goes full murderhusband on the police. Feel free to have the imprisoned character suffer, if it makes the revenging character that much more furious about it.
an amnesia plot would be awesome, whichever one of them suffers from it. Will is the more obvious choice — what would s1 or s2 Will do, faced with the evidence that he's fled with Hannibal? — but an earlier Hannibal might be hard-pressed to believe he's sacrificed so much for Will, too. It'd be interesting.
Hannibal falls ill. Will tries to take care of him. Badly. (Or not that badly!) But think cooking for him, putting him in a bath, feverish tenderness, disgusting domesticity. Or, on the darker side, have Will emotionally manipulate him in that state, for a change.
post-finale fic! so many things are open to interpretation — taking care of their wounds after their fall from the cliff, of course, but also Will adapting to his new life, accepting his fall from grace and corruption, struggling with his morality and how fragile it is.

The Penumbra Podcast

Pairing: Juno Steel/Peter Nureyev (Juno hurt)

Tags: Soulmate AU - Broken Soulbond; breakup angst; Character won't stop getting up no matter how many times they get hit; Temporary Amnesia; Character Lies About What They Remember; Character in Fake Relationship thinks Partner Hates Them; first meeting after a horrible break up; missing the other character; Time Travel - Older and Younger Versions of the Same Character Meet; Undercover as a Couple – mutually pining characters forced to have sex to keep their cover; Miscommunication; Forced to speak truthfully; Collapsing from exhaustion; Enduring Pain to Protect Another; Holding Hands; Pushing through injury; Sharing a Bed; casual/dismissive cruelty; Hurt/sick character isn't quite lucid; Rescued character thinks they're hallucinating rescue

Prompts:

for these two, I want alllllllll the breakup angst; I refuse to believe they'd jump back in bed together without at least some awkwardness, hurt feelings, complicated conversations, and longing glances. Have Peter be angry, have him lash out with exquisite cruelty; show Juno's guilt, how much he's missed him, but also … how much he's changed, over the past season: how much of himself has transformed and become stronger.
if, in the course of the breakup angst, they have to fake a relationship again — and possibly end in a very compromising position? — I will love you forever. f o r e v e r.
alternately, while they still haven't dealt with their shit, have Juno fall ill and Peter take care of him, unable to help himself — give me Juno stoically gritting his teeth and carrying on despite his illness, until he eventually breaks down in Peter's arms!
amnesia, if Peter is the one who suffers from it: either he doesn't know Juno at all (in which case Juno suffers), or he remembers him from before Juno left (in which case Juno also suffers).
Juno takes a shot meant for Peter. Peter deals badly. Look, I'm a simple gal with simple tastes.

Original Work

I split these requests between the Friends/Loyalty category and the Enemies/Antagonism category, for simplicity's sake; but feel free to use tags from either requests. The tags themselves have ideas and concepts that might not be explicitly addressed in the prompts; pick and choose as you like.

Pairings: Idealistic Emotional Prince/His More Practical Adviser and Childhood Friend (hurt Prince); Celebrity/High School Sweetheart they Left Behind to be Famous (both hurt); Disgraced Empress/Her Last Loyal Female Bodyguard (empress hurt); Idealistic Emotional Prince/His More Practical Adviser and Childhood Friend (hurt Friend)

Tags: Alone against the rest of the world; Bathing/Washing; Character's worldview is irreparably shattered; Loss of status/authority; Temporary Loss of Divinity; Publicly repudiated by family; aftermath of breakup; Aftermath of Temporary Character Death; Blindness; Casual Sex while Secretly Pining; Codependency; Fever; Exhaustion; Guilt over past actions; Internalized Homophobia; Touch-Starved; Tenderness; Protectiveness; Comfort Sex - Love Is Requited But None Of The Participants Realize It

Prompts:

Idealistic Emotional Prince/His More Practical Adviser and Childhood Friend (hurt Prince): since the Prince is the hurt receivee, I'd rather enjoy some competence kink thrown in there! whether he fall ill, is poisoned, is accused of treason — let his friend take over and completely annihilate the people responsible before taking care of him.
Idealistic Emotional Prince/His More Practical Adviser and Childhood Friend (hurt Friend): the other option! I'd love to see how furiously protective the Prince might be of his hurt friend — maybe he throws his ideals to the wayside to avenge him, or sends for the most famous doctors of the realm to cure his ailment. Bedside vigils are a big big plus.
Celebrity/High School Sweetheart they Left Behind to be Famous (both hurt): I am such a sucker for reunion fic, and I would love to see how it might turn out here — does the celebrity return to his old town? does the sweetheart move to a different place, only to find out (shock!) that his newest friend is best buds with his own ex? social media fic would be lovely, if you're so inclined.
Disgraced Empress/Her Last Loyal Female Bodyguard (empress hurt): I am dying to know how the Empress was disgraced, and why; likewise, what her relationship with her bodyguard is like — deferential? intimate? formal? were they friends before the empress became so? why is the bodyguard loyal to her? you can make the hurt emotional ("how dare they depose me!") or physical (assassination attempts, maybe), but I would love some loyalty kink in the comfort section — oath-swearing, fealty, hand-kissing, etc.

Pairings: Warlord Brother/Sorcerer Brother (both hurt); Corrupt Edwardian Politician/Working-Class Revolutionary (politician hurt); Deposed Prince Sold Into Slavery/Male Friend Who Betrayed Him (prince hurt); Rich Male Aristocrat/Lower Class Husband Forced into Marrying Him (hurt husband); Rich Male Aristocrat/Lower Class Husband Forced into Marrying Him (hurt aristocrat); Male Serial Killer/Male Cop He's Seducing With Artful Corpses (male cop hurt)

Tags: Soulmate AU - Villain Soulmate; Political Betrayal; Captivity; Character's worldview is irreparably shattered; Corporal Punishment; Dubious Consent; Emotional Manipulation; Loss of political/military power; Only Enemy Knows About Hurt; Protecting a Hated Enemy; Arranged Marriage To The Enemy To Cement Ceasefire/Peace Treaty; fall from grace; Long Overdue Breaking Point; Sensory Deprivation; The Villians Have Won; War Trophy - Tending to Captive's Battle Injuries; Violence Disguised as Gentleness; Forced Loss of Control; Anxiety Or Angst Over Socio-Economic Differences; Enemy taunts friends/partner for not noticing character's injuries/trauma

Prompts:

Warlord Brother/Sorcerer Brother (both hurt): I am rather seeing these two as enemies, or at least antagonists. You might have them in a war, knowing one of them must kill the other but still remembering their childhood together; or at court, staging elaborate assassination attempts on each other. Or one takes the other prisoner, and punishes him viciously, or treats him as a war trophy. Think physical vs. emotional hurt — maybe they believe they're the only one still caring for the other.
Corrupt Edwardian Politician/Working-Class Revolutionary (politician hurt): I would love it if the politician and the revolutionary knew each other once. Maybe the politician interferes in a protest and is wounded; maybe he's taken prisoner by the revolutionary group; maybe the revolutionary has to choose between the man he loves and his cause? one way or another, divided loyalties and guilt + class warfare = a+++.
Deposed Prince Sold Into Slavery/Male Friend Who Betrayed Him (prince hurt): feel free to go slavefic all the way in this. I'd love the prince to go down fighting, and to resent his new status, perhaps even to try and find ways to escape it; if his betrayer chooses to punish him for it, or decides to make a public claim on him, all the better. Dubious consent meets resentment and unwitting desire.
Rich Male Aristocrat/Lower Class Husband Forced into Marrying Him (hurt husband) & Rich Male Aristocrat/Lower Class Husband Forced into Marrying Him (hurt aristocrat): why was the lower class husband forced into marrying him? meddling relatives? political reasons? were they caught in a compromising situation? I'd rather the aristocrat weren't the one forcing him; make them both trying to grapple, with difficulty, with their new relationship. If you go for emotional hurt, think people looking down on the husband, making him feel the class difference; if physical, the aristocrat might get hurt to protect the man he thinks hates him, or an illness brings them closer together…
Male Serial Killer/Male Cop He's Seducing With Artful Corpses (male cop hurt): I really, really want the male cop to be hurt on the job somehow — perhaps another criminal shoots him? or a partner fails him at a critical moment? — and the serial killer goes Full Revenge on whoever's responsible. Think also the serial killer leaving the cop little marks of his affections on his corpses, and the cop is drawn to him despite himself but also completely revulsed — go for the angst of wanting to bone a man you really, really shouldn't bone.

Whatever you choose — and whether you decide to go completely off-track from those prompts; they're just ideas, I would love pretty much anything within the tags — I hope you have fun!

Newest little ship! I love how pining-centric this canon is, and Michael/Alex is pushing all my buttons in the best way. Some prompts:

more hooking up behind everybody's backs, especially if they are trying to stay apart but literally can't keep their hands off each other: desperate, hungry sex they both regret afterwards, knowing that they hurt each other but unable not to want each other
Michael as a mechanic is so very, very iddy, so feel free to feed on that as much as you want, including having sex in overalls and/or on the hood of a car.
one of them gets injured/falls ill, and the other is inexplicably the only person that can take care of them, cue feverish sex they might not even remember.
pre-episode 3 sex when they're still giddy and high on happiness and haven't yet broken up again
something exploring Michael's alien nature wrt sex would be great, especially if 1. he's inhuman in some way or another, and 2. something happens that leads to that nature being revealed to Alex.
alien soul bonds! sex pollen! (or even dream sharing, if it slips into sexy territory somehow!)

Pairings: Enjolras/Grantaire

Tags: Kneeling; Boot Worship; Bootblacking; Sex as Unhealthy Coping Mechanism; Body Worship; Loyalty Kink; Virginity; Touch-Starved; Bondage - Neckties; Cock Warming; Cock Worship; Degrading Praise; Dominant Bottom; Service Top; Face-Fucking; Frottage; Gun Kink; Pinned by the Wrists; In Captivity Together; Neediness

The tags speak for themselves, I think? But a few notes:

I love a proper Priest of the Revolution Enjolras, who lets himself have no indulgences, no kindnesses. Burning, utter devotion to the cause. Conversely, my favourite Grantaire is the one who is pessimistic and sarcastic to an extreme, who runs his mouth off except when he's blind drunk and sleeping. That play on extreme opposites appeals to me, and that extends to whatever sex they end up having.
virginity kink!!
I imagine that Enjolras, if ever brought to satisfying sexual desires, would do so absolutely and without a shred of hesitation. But Grantaire would be disbelieving and unsure, despite being (presumably) the more experienced partner. Play with position! who's in charge; who's not? who's more affected by the act of having sex than the other? what happens post-coital: does Enjolras simply roll over and start pulling his clothes on, or does he succumb to exhaustion/tenderness?
re: "in captivity together", I would love a post-barricade fix where they're taken prisoner and have to rely on each other to survive, post-"Vive la Republique". Hey, maybe the National Guard wants them to fuck.

Female Gunslinger/Female Pinkerton Agent: I love a good Enemies to Lovers trope, and would like to see antagonism dialed up to eleven on that one. Maybe the Pinkerton Agent is a newcomer in the Gunslinger's town looking for thieves, and the two clash? Maybe the Gunslinger is an old flame who comes back to town, smelling of danger. Maybe they're looking for the same mark, except one wants to kill him and the other wants to bring him to justice. One way or another, power dominance and rough sex are a given :D
Regency Lady/Female Con Artist: you could go the "sweet ingenue" or the "scheming mean girl" for the Regency Lady; but I would love the Con Artist to be dashing and ruthless, only to fall unexpectedly under her spell. Feel free to experiment with setting: in our-world regency they might sneak around for a steamy affair; but in an alt-regency in which same-sex couples are common, costume porn and courtship and dancing are in order. (The Con Artist could teach the Lady how to dance, leading to … suggestive situations.)
Soldier Just Back from Battle/Other Soldier Who's Been Pining for Them for a Long Time: this could be f/f or m/m, I don't mind either way, and while I put it in with the Historical requests, it could as easily be fantasy. The pining is essential here, especially if they get into a fwb-type relationship while one of them (or both!) is quietly wishing for more. + trauma, nightmares from the war, PTSD, hurt/comfort — the works.
God/Male Worshipper & God or Diety/Human Devotee of Rival God: this could go two ways, I think: willing devotion to a god or forced submission. I love captive sacrifices, burning faith, human resistance to staggering divinity — the more austere and fucked-up the devotee/worshipper is, the more I like them. Sex may be ritualized, to a purpose, for which the worshipper has volunteered themselves (perhaps to bring the god back to life? I always enjoy a good resurrection), or an enemy invasion that leads to corruption and unwitting arousal.
Male Holy Warrior/Male Demon He Harbors Sacrilegious Lust For: same as above, except you get to add self-hatred, guilt, chastity, oaths broken, lust and desire that overwhelm the strict limits the Holy Warrior has set for himself. Does the demon want to corrupt him, is he just having fun, or is he as invested as the Holy Warrior is? Is one of them trying to kill the other? the more you rely on the notion of an oppressive, institutionalized religion that actively suppresses humanity in its devotees, the happier I'll be.
Man Looking for Peace/The Fey Lord of the Forest Who Falls in Love With Him: I'm intrigued by the "looking for peace" part, and would sign up to see the Man offering himself as sexy sacrifice in exchange for peace between his people and the fey. Alternately, it would be great if the Fey Lord was fascinated by this charming human creature and promptly abducted him, promising gold and pleasures and power to him in exchange for his favour. The contrast between "normal human" and "inhuman creature" makes the greater part of the appeal here.

Pairings: Disgraced King/Loyal Male Knight, Dashing Male Outlaw/Nobleman Who Is Actually The King In Disguise, Conquering Male Warlord/Deposed King of Conquered Country, Warlord Brother/Sorcerer Brother/Male Slave They Share

Tags: Loyalty Kink; Dubious consent because loyal A will obey any order B gives them; authority kink; Blackmail/Sexual Coercion; Double Penetration; Cock Warming; costume porn; Sexual Rituals Related To Monarchy; Fealty; Forced to Kneel; Forced to enjoy it; Public Marriage Consummation Ceremonies; Hair-pulling; Imprisonment; Political Debate as Foreplay; Corporal Punishment; Rough Sex to Stave Off Other Violent Urges; Taking Order

Disgraced King/Loyal Male Knight: any and all permutations of loyalty kink will make me happy. I'm intrigued by the possible settings for this (high fantasy? a steampunk-era monarchy?) and the reasons why the King was disgraced. I am so here for fucked-up sex where the Knight thinks he's just providing a warm body and is quietly pining, and the King knows he shouldn't take advantage but can't help himself.
Dashing Male Outlaw/Nobleman Who Is Actually The King in Disguise: identity porn!! or, alternatively, the Outlaw might know Right Away who the King is, but keeps a lid on it. I would love to see some sort of secret affair where they sneak off from their respective duties/band of brothers to hook up; but a set-up where the Outlaw captures the King (who may be fleeing from something?) and, say, recruits him for sexy purposes would be a+ too.
Conquering Male Warlord/Deposed King of Conquered Country: spoils of war settings are excellent, all the more so if the two characters have some kind of history between them — maybe they've been enemies for years; maybe they used to be friends; maybe one of them betrayed the other or tried to kill him! I would love for the Warlord to be very possessive of the King, in the sense of actual possession: this might involve showing him off, fucking him publicly, dressing him up in specific clothes, whoring him out and watching, and so on. Even better if it's made abundantly clear that the King would do the same to him in a heartbeat.
Warlord Brother/Sorcerer Brother/Male Slave They Share: feel free to push the forbidden incest aspect of this! Maybe the brothers care for each other deeply but couldn't yet take the last step; maybe they've been together for years and are looking for a piece on the side to have fun with; maybe they loathe each other's guts and use the slave as a proxy for how much they want to hurt each other. If they've never had sex before, I would love for them to finally succumb to wanting each other at the end. Or completely and utterly ignore the slave's presence once they've done with him.

Have fun! :D
