Press Start Letter

[linndechir]

Dear Press Start writer,

Thank you for writing for me and having a look at this letter. I've decided to go full on tiny rare pairs for this exchange, so I'm ridiculously excited to get fic for any of these ships. I've got some general likes and dislikes listed - those are the important parts, really. They're followed by a list of kinks I like, should you feel inclined to write porn, and some fandom-specific prompts, but if those don't work for you - as long as you include a thing or two that I like and don't include my DNWs, I'm sure I will love whatever you write for me. :D 

As a general rule, I enjoy all ratings; I like darker, angstier fic and more light-hearted stories, although neither completely conflictless fluff nor completely bleak darkfic without a ray of hope are quite my thing. I'm always happy about porn, but it's not a must. I like shorter fics and plotty longfic. If you do write porn and you want more smut-related prompts, I've requested most of these ships for Smut Swap before. The fandoms are listed alphabetically. The length of the fandom-specific sections doesn't indicate an order of preference; I just had more ideas and prompts for some of them.

I use the same name on AO3 and tumblr as here.


Do Not Wants:

• character death of characters I like (random side characters or antagonists dying is fine)
• serious illnesses, permanent injuries (blood and wounds that will heal again are fine)
• completely tragic/bleak endings
• animal death/cruelty
• genderbend of any kind, mpreg, A/B/O, characters being werewolves/vampires/anything than what they are in canon
• non-canon gender identities/sexual orientations (e.g. writing characters as trans or asexual), except for writing characters as gay or bi
• unrequested ships (including canon ships)
• unrequested crossovers or fusions
• complete AUs (canon divergence is fine, but no high school AUs, coffee shop AUs, in space AUs, groundhog day AUs etc.)
• permanently unrequited love or permanent breakups for my ships (this doesn't apply to my FNV requests)
• unnecessary epithets, please use characters' names/pronouns unless their name isn't known to the POV character (or unless the characters think of each other by e.g. their title rather than their name)
• 1st and 2nd person fic
• for porn: detailed kink negotiation, safewords for scenes that don't involve consent play (and even then I'm not really into safewords); scat, watersports, coming in pants, crossdressing, feminisation, body modification, infantilisation (daddy kink and calling characters "boy/girl" is fine); femdom, pegging

---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Things I like to read about:

• first time/getting together: slow burn, pining, UST finally getting resolved, but also antagonistic hate sex or casual hookups that are only later followed by feelings (emotional pining while already having sex is great)
• friends with benefits who think the other one can't possibly be in love with them/want a serious relationship
• developing relationships: relationship conflicts after the characters got together, trying to figure out how to make things work, some things maybe not working at first, temporary breakups, basically anything that doesn't assume that first time sex -> perfect relationship
• porn, especially porn with feelings/porn that says something about their relationship (see list below for kinks I like)
• enemies to lovers, partners to lovers
• reluctant allies grudgingly starting to like each other
• non-verbal expressions of affection, unusual romantic gestures that fit the characters
• familiarity, intimacy, characters getting to know each other better (their habits, their hangups etc.)
• pre-canon/background stories, first meetings/first impressions (especially if we didn't see those in canon)
• post-canon fic
• canon divergence
• casefic
• moral dilemmas, characters having to question/go against their principles, situations in which there is no clear right or wrong
• loyalty, devotion, trust, but also trust/commitment issues
• obsessive, codependent, complicated relationships
• unhealthy relationships that should be a trainwreck, but work for the characters involved
• obsessive/intense family relationships
• us-against-the-world
• villains/sociopaths in love, bad guys who would literally burn down the rest of the world for each other
• jealousy, possessiveness
• age differences
• misunderstandings (as long as there's a good reason for them)
• competence, characters being smart and skilled and good at what they do; characters with different skill sets complementing each other
• hurt/comfort (after injuries/exhaustion, not so much with illness)
• angst: self-doubts, guilt, shame, internalised homophobia, nightmares, fears, self-destructive tendencies, alcohol abuse ...
• period-typical attitudes towards sex, sexuality, class, morality, religion etc. (I obviously don't expect 100% historical accuracy, but I like reading about characters from different societies having different values and principles from our own - this also applies to fictional societies)
• infidelity (not between my requested ships, but one half of my ship cheating on their previous partner with the other half of my ship)
• meaningful name uses (e.g. characters who always call each other by their last name or title switching to using first names)
• outside POVs, different POVs than in canon (more "usual" POVs are great, too)
• sleep-related themes: waking each other from nightmares, falling asleep on each other's shoulder etc.
• soulbonds (but no soulmates, please)
• undercover as enemies (undercover as a couple is fun, too, as long as it actually fits the setting/characters, like spies or cops)
• I like darker elements (violence, murder, noncon/dubcon, manipulation, depression, whatever fits your plot and isn't on my DNW list), but I'd prefer a happy or semi-happy ending. Feel free to make me bawl my eyes out, but please cheer me up again afterwards.

---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Kinks I like to read about:

• anal, blowjobs, fingering, intercrural, frottage, rimming & felching are all great
• asphyxiation/choking/breathplay (this is my kink holy grail that makes everything else hotter to me; even just throat-touching without choking is great)
• switching
• biting, bruising, marking; possessive sex
• rough/angry sex, hate sex, fighting/sparring leading to sex, adrenaline-fuelled post-battle and "thank fuck we/you're alive" sex
• dressed sex, dressed/naked, clothes kink (suits, uniforms, gloves, boots etc.), neat characters being dishevelled for once, casual characters cleaning up nicely
• D/s (I prefer casually developing kink to minutely negotiated, formalised BDSM; if anything under-negotiated kink is a plus for me)
• kink discovery/exploration
• strength kink; body worship; men's body hair (on chest, arms, thighs, butt; not so much on back and shoulders)
• stubble/beard burn
• hand kink; fisting; finger sucking
• large/thick cocks (not absurdly huge, but bigger than average); size kink
• bondage: leather cuffs, ropes, restraints, chains, collars
• face slapping, spanking, flogging, riding crops
• gun play, knife play, blood play
• consent play
• dirty talk (both the praising and the humiliating/condescending kind), voice/accent kink
• praise kink
• banter, teasing
• hard, desperate kissing with lots of biting
• barebacking (including the ill-advised, unplanned, unnegotiated we-really-shouldn't-have-done-that-but-it-was-so-hot kind - I'm not into serious STD scares, though; if there is an "oh fuck, what did we just do?" aftermath, please have both characters be certain that they're clean)
• come play (licking come off fingers/skin, felching, feeding each other come, kissing after blowjobs/felching ...)
• come as lube, spit as lube (especially the top spitting on the bottom's ass)
• messiness (sweat, come play, dishevelled hair/clothes)
• overstimulation; characters being overwhelmed, begging for more, becoming speechless ...
• shaving (face or body), especially with straight razors/knives
• sex on tables, against walls, on the floor, on a chair, in the shower ... (sex in beds is great, too)
• masturbation/fantasising about the other before getting together
• incest kink (i.e. characters who are related kinking on it)
• competence kink, admiration
• kneeling, hand kissing, physical expressions of loyalty/fealty
• scars and their history
• oral fixation (while smoking, drinking, talking ...)
• sharing cigarettes, clothes, food ...
• shame in sexual desires (whether about being attracted to another man at all, being attracted to this specific person for whatever reason, wanting to bottom, wanting to suck dick, wanting to hurt their partner, wanting to be hurt by their partner ...)

Deus Ex

Adam Jensen/Jim Miller/Francis Pritchard

 

Note:

 

I've played Human Revolution and Mankind Divided and I've read Black Light. I don't mind spoilers for any of the other games or comics or whatever else there is, but I'd prefer not to get a fic that requires me to be familiar with those parts of canon.

 

Adam's injuries prior to getting his augs are obviously exempt from my "no permanent injuries" DNW. However, I don't want anyone else to get their limbs ripped off or the like, and I don't want Adam's augs to get permanently disabled or destroyed.
 

 

I love Adam so much: that he's a genuinely good guy who wants to help people, that he's snarky and cheeky and irreverent, that (at least post-augs) he's pretty withdrawn and emotionally unavailable and has all these walls built around himself (and I really want someone to get past them). I like angst and suffering and Adam is a well of suffering, and I enjoy it while simultaneously wanting nice things to happen to him (after lots of beautiful suffering). As for Miller, I love that he has a temper and is impatient and often isn't particularly nice, but underneath that gruffness he cares about doing the right thing and he cares about his men. Similar with Pritchard: he's such a prickly jerk, but at the same time he's always ready to drop anything to help Adam. I'd also be happy to see any other TF29 or SI characters appear in the story. I'd especially love to see Sarif and Miller meet.

I mostly see this ship happening post-MD, maybe because Adam calls Pritchard for help with something. A lot of set-ups for the eventual OT3/threesome could be interesting: maybe Adam has slept with them both once or twice and it's awkward because he wants them both and can't decide and feels greedy. Maybe Adam and Jim got together post-MD and Adam feels bad that he wants someone else even though he's happy with Jim (whether or not he's slept with Pritchard before). Maybe Adam and Jim were on the verge of getting together, but then Pritchard shows up and there's clearly some History there and suddenly Jim isn't so sure anymore if Adam really wants to be with him or not. Maybe Adam has always had UST with both of them, but nothing ever happened, and it eventually explodes in a steaming hot threesome. 

 

I see this starting out as a V constellation - Jim and Frank are both into Adam, Adam is into both of them, and they're willing to put up with each other for his sake. But long term I'd like Jim and Frank to actually start caring about each other, too, and I'd love to see how that happens. I'm totally okay with parts of the fics focusing on just two of them together, as long as there's also actual OT3 stuff.

• any getting together scenario (see my rambling above - TLDR: I'd love any possible version of events)
• first impressions - I can see Jim and Frank being a bit wary of each other at first and wondering why Adam trusts this guy so much, but I also think they could grow to respect each other.
• all the angst! Adam having feelings for them both and thinking it'd be dishonest to get with either of them while also pining for the other, Jim and/or Frank thinking that Adam clearly wants/loves the other guy more/is more serious about him and they're just the fifth wheel, any of them thinking that their threeway arrangement can't possibly last and sooner or later someone is getting dumped ... (note: I'm not into ~healthy poly discussions~; all three of them are fairly emotionally unavailable guys who aren't great at talking about their feelings, and I prefer small gestures, quiet moments of realisation, half-spoken sentences that carry a lot of meaning, slowly figuring things out etc. over them sitting down and having a long conversation to negotiate their relationship, because I don't enjoy reading that)
• Jim and Frank getting closer: bonding over video games or some other shared interest or over Adam being a reckless pain in the ass; stuck in a dangerous situation together without Adam around; working together to save Adam from a dangerous situation; something domestic while Adam is busy elsewhere and they realise that they've grown used to having each other around and enjoy it; the first time they have sex without Adam there (or even just the first time all three of them have sex and Jim and Frank actually do something with each other beyond briefly touching while they're both more focused on Adam) - I'd love to see this growing from something that exists mostly for Adam's sake to an actual OT3 where they all actually enjoy being together and wouldn't want it any different
• porn would be excellent, whether first time or established relationship. I like Jim and Frank topping Adam together (mostly because I really enjoy subby Adam) and taking care of him - whether they're working together or are trying to one-up each other. I see Frank as pretty switchy, so if you want to write something like Jim-fucking-Adam-fucking-Frank, I'd be so on board with that. I'd love to see any kinds of firsts, especially firsts between Jim and Frank (that could be fun from Adam's POV, if he's worried they don't actually like each other, and sees them slowly growing closer - first time he sees them kiss, or one blow the other, or shower together ...). Spitroasting, DP, one of them holding Adam down/holding his mouth open while the other fucks him, one of them fucking him after the other did and commenting on how wet and messy he is ... knock yourself out with all the beautiful things threesome porn can include. :D
• tropey stuff like fun with CASIE, touch-starved Adam, ridiculous undercover situations ...
• anything about Adam and Frank meeting Jim's family (Frank would probably the biggest dick ever to Neil, but maybe surprisingly good with the kids; Adam looks scary but might turn out to be the far less embarrassing partner; Neal eventually teasing the hell out of Jim for getting himself not one but two younger boyfriends)
• infidelity! what if Jim's marriage wasn't in complete shambles yet (but slowly getting there) by the time MD happens, but he still ends up falling in love with Adam? Except that Adam also has this weird thing going on with Pritchard? Guilty pining and Adam being sure he and Jim are never happening (and anyway he shouldn't want Jim to leave his family, that's selfish) and UST eventually leading to spectacular bad idea sex that everyone involved in ends up feeling awful about (okay, maybe not Pritchard, because Pritchard is probably firmly team "fuck Neil").

Dishonored

Corvo Attano/Emily Kaldwin

 

Note:

 

I'm up for either low chaos or high chaos, or anything in between - though I really like that even the low chaos decisions are often pretty ruthless and awful, so I'm not really looking for either of them being completely saintly and sweet. I do like them as a badass power couple that'll do what's necessary without being over the top evil about it, but I'm happy to read different interpretations. :) Equally happy with either of them as the DH2 protagonist, if you write fic set after that. Or with an AU in which they somehow get up to everything in DH2 together, mostly because the idea of Corvo losing his powers makes me sad.

 

Since this is my only het request, here's a het-specific DNW: please no femdom or pegging. I also don't particularly enjoy reading about cunnilingus - brief mentions of it happening are fine, but I'd rather not have it be the main event or described in lengthy detail. And I hate the word "folds". Underage is perfectly fine down to about 15.

• getting together fic: I figure Emily would have to initiate it and Corvo would resist for a long time before he gives in. But when exactly does all that happen and under what circumstances? Does she kiss him when she's a teenager and just figuring out what she wants? Does she repress or try to ignore it for years? Do they maybe only get together post-DH2 after whichever one of them almost lost the other and suddenly all that "we shouldn't because we're related" stuff doesn't seem as important anymore?
• UST and build-up: they want each other, they know they want each other, but they can't/won't do anything about it yet and the tension is killing them ... I love lots of almosts - almost-kisses, staying too close for too long, watching each other bathe or dress for a few moments too long instead of walking away, lingering touches past what's entirely appropriate ... 
• no cross-gen incest ship without lots of delicious angst. :D especially on his part (even more so if you have him falling for her while she's still fairly young), but just as much on hers. I'm also up for some what-would-Jessamine-say angst, but I absolutely don't want Corvo being into Emily because she reminds him of her mother, or thinking about how similar they look while they have sex. Replacement goldfish vibes squick me hard.
• when exactly did she find out (for sure) that he's her father? I'd love to see some conversation(s) about that. For the extra angsty route ... maybe she only finds out for sure after she's started having every dirty thought imaginable about him, and she kept telling herself it's okay because he's "only" her father figure and not actually her father ... 
• related: I'd love an AU in which him being her father isn't common knowledge, just for the possible court gossip about them - is he her father? her lover? *gasp* both? just her faithful advisor, nothing weird going on here?
• any conversations about the Outsider mark - I'd love to see just how much Emily knows when about her father's abilities (and where he got them from), if she suspects anything, or post-DH2 they could commiserate about the Outsider's, er, eccentricities. Or maybe Emily can confront him about the fact that he kept something so big and important secret from her.
• if you want to write something plotty: I love political scheming - court intrigues, the two of them working to get rid of political enemies (whether by scheming or murder), rebuilding Dunwall after DH2 ...
• vaguely related: I love loyalty kink and both of them being willing to do anything for each other (and maybe sometimes crossing lines and doing things they never thought they'd do for each other)
• fights and sparring and hurt/comfort are great, whether it's Corvo saving a younger Emily or them sparring together or fighting back-to-back when she's a bit older - adrenaline rushes, too much physical contact that bleeds over into something else, patching each other up ...
• for porn: with an age difference like this (especially if he's her first), I'm really into Emily being enthusiastic and excited and impatient, and having some diffuse ideas of what she wants, while also being inexperienced and not knowing all the things two people could get up to in bed. And Corvo being just as much into her and wanting to make it good for her but also being hesitant until she makes it clear that she expects him to show her what he likes, too. 
• anal so he can't get her pregnant? vaginal even though they feel like they really shouldn't, but they want it too much to be sensible (and maybe they both even get off a little on the danger - I'm not into actual pregnancy or pregnancy scares, though)? Lots of everything else while they try to resist fucking each other's brains out - telling themselves it doesn't count as long as there's no actual penetration? sex in inappropriate places like her very royal office or her throne when there's nobody around? wall sex wall sex wall sex inappropriate use of Outsider powers? choking? wrestling and the winner gets to be on top? CHOKING? :D always on board with some casual M/f, btw
• actual (guilty) kinking on the incest and on their physical resemblance - sex in front of mirrors, Emily calling him "father" in bed ...
• Corvo rejects her because he feels like he has to, so she starts sleeping with men who look like him until he snaps (because he's jealous, or because they don't know how to treat her right ...). Or maybe there was no rejection and she just sleeps with men who look like him until he can take a hint. [I realise this may seem contradictory since I said above that I don't like replacement goldfish vibes, so to be clearer: if I ship A/B, I'm okay with A sleeping with other people because those people remind them of B; I'm not okay with A and B having sex while one of them thinks about C.]

Fallout: New Vegas

Caesar/Arcade Gannon, Lucius/Arcade Gannon, Caesar/Lucius, Caesar/Vulpes Inculta, Vulpes Inculta & Lucius

 

I have such a craving for Legion fic, simply because the game leaves so many questions open about them and so many gaps to be filled. That and I find characters who are horrible people entertaining. Feel free to go dark and fucked up with these assholes, that's what they're there for, although I'd enjoy it if there was a bit more to them than just doing everything for the evulz. We do get a good look at what goes on in Caesar's head in the game, but the same can hardly be said for Lucius or Vulpes, so I'd enjoy fic that gives them a bit more depth. (I really don't like secretly-not-so-bad Vulpes, though. I know that seems to be a thing in fandom, but it's not my kind of thing. Let him be horrid and evil. I do like not-necessarily-a-horrible-person-at-heart-just-devoted-to-a-horrible-system!Lucius, but not going-to-desert-the-Legion-first-chance-he-gets!Lucius.)

 

I'd also enjoy the hell out of some Legion worldbuilding. I'd love to see more about growing up in the Legion, what life is like back in the Eastern territories, what everyday life is like, what the Mojave would look like if the Legion wins at the end of the game (Caesar wants his Rome - let him have it and show me what he does with it), expanding on worldviews, political/military discussions among the Legion higher-ups, to what extent people like Lucius or Vulpes believe all that Son of Mars stuff, things like education and language use (I'm always here for language geekery like which things they use Latin for and if maybe Latin becomes increasingly a lingua franca when you assimilate a bunch of tribes that speak different English dialects ...)

 

Especially the prompts involving Arcade stray darker than what I usually prefer and I'm totally fine with that, no happy ending required (and I certainly don't expect anyone to be in love for these ships). However, I'd still prefer if there was more to the fic than just unrelenting misery, and most of my DNWs like no character death and no mutilation etc. still apply - I don't want to read about Arcade's canon death, for example. I am totally okay with killing off Caesar, though, as long as you somehow get Lanius out of the way first so someone slightly less batshit like Lucius takes over.
 

 

Caesar/Arcade Gannon

(I don't need this to be shippy - if you'd rather write gen focusing on their relationship, or some creepy pre-slash, that's fine by me too)

• intellectual discussions slave!Arcade lets himself get drawn into because he can't resist an argument (and he does seem to have a kind of grudging, horrified respect for Caesar while also disapproving of him in every possible way) - Arcade occasionally enjoying their discussions and hating himself for it
• I find it fascinating that Caesar likes Arcade despite the fact that he seems to despise it whenever anyone disagrees with him, so I'd love to see how that happened
• moral dilemmas: some kind of character study about how Arcade feels about his choice to survive (instead of letting Caesar die even if it means his own death), to technically help the Legion etc.
• I have a thing for enemies forced to work together, so what if there was some kind of bigger threat that's even worse than the Legion, just to put Arcade in the awful situation of wanting to help them?
• anything explicit would have to be noncon, I think, because no way would Arcade agree to sleeping with Caesar - whether it's Caesar just taking what he wants, or raping Arcade to punish him, or convincing himself that Arcade totally wants him back and just doesn't admit it ...

 

Lucius/Arcade Gannon

• stuck in the Mojave together: maybe Lucius has to escort Caesar's favourite slave somewhere and *handwave* things go wrong and it ends up being just them, having to work together to survive; even funnier if Lucius finds Arcade irritating as fuck; though I'd also enjoy it if they found some common ground in the end, even if that's just "we'd like to survive this situation and you're not the worst person to be stuck with"
• Lucius seems like a semi-decent guy for a Legionary, so I'd like to see moments of him being nice in some way to Arcade and Arcade not having it because he's not accepting shit from these bastards (and maybe eventually accepting it because he's fucking miserable and lonely and it's been so long since he's had anything nice - something Stockholm Syndrome-y could be interesting, especially if Arcade is aware that's what it is and still can't help it)
• rape by proxy :D Caesar doesn't want to fuck Arcade himself, but he has Lucius do it - either as a "reward" for his favourite pet slave (because, hey, Arcade is gay, surely he'll like getting banged by a hot guy! /s) or as a punishment because Arcade pissed him off. I'd find it especially interesting if Lucius didn't really want to do it, but it doesn't even occur to him to disobey.
• grudging, confused attraction! grudging on Arcade's part, maybe confused on Lucius's if he's never/rarely ever been into a guy. I'd be totally okay with just lots of UST neither of them wants to do anything about, but a resolution would also be awesome - unlike with Caesar/Arcade, I could see something more consensual happening between them, even if it would still be supremely fucked up in other ways
• so here for Lucius-becomes-Caesar future fic - what would that mean for Arcade, if he's still around by then? what would it mean for the Legion?

 

Caesar/Lucius, Caesar/Vulpes Inculta

 

(lumping these together because I'm looking for fairly similar things for both ships - I'd be 100% okay with gen for these relationships, too, btw)

• villainous loyalty kink is one of my favourite things. Caesar is such a hypocritical jerk in game, I'd love to get to see him through the eyes of men who think he's the greatest person ever. Or who maybe think he is fallible, but still are loyal to him and believe in what he does. (Especially for Vulpes, I find the combination of Utterly Ruthless Sociopath and Genuine Belief in the Legion and its ideals fascinating.)
• how much of the official Legion doctrine does Lucius/Vulpes believe? and if they don't believe it, how do they reconcile that with being devoted to Caesar anyway?
• background stories: we know how Vulpes became a frumentarius, but did Caesar then personally keep an eye on that smart young legionary or did a few years pass before he saw him again? When did Vulpes become the head of the frumentarii? What about the circumstances of Lucius becoming a praetorian, and then head of the praetorians? What was it like for either of them to actually get to meet and know the man they were taught to worship from afar since they were kids?
• I'm really here for messy consent issues, with Caesar demanding what he wants and the other one not being in any position to say no (and not even thinking that they should be able to say no)  - whether he feels honoured or kinda uncomfortable or actively unhappy about it or something in between. Could be extra interesting if you add some masculinity issues and/or internalised homophobia.
• variation of the above: Caesar loves to get fucked, but nobody must ever know, so he can only trust his most loyal men with that

Lucius & Vulpes Inculta

(I'm mostly thinking gen here, but if you want to turn this shippy, I won't say no)

• what do they think of each other? they're both so devoted to Caesar, but serve him in very different ways - do they respect each other? how well do they even know each other?
• first meetings/impressions are always great - Vulpes's age is pretty ambiguous in canon, but if he is rather young, Lucius may well already have been a praetorian by the time Vulpes rose to any importance
• navigating Caesar on his worse days - how do they feel about his temper tantrums or his more irrational moments? shrug and move on? disapproving but feeling guilty because they have no right to think badly of anything Caesar does?
• anything set around the time of Caesar's illness
• anything set around the defeat at Hoover Dam and Caesar's big bad breakup with Joshua Graham; we know Lucius was at Boulder City (but clearly Caesar didn't think he personally failed, since he's still alive); what was Vulpes up to?
• future fic in which Lucius becomes Caesar: I'd imagine Vulpes wouldn't worship him the way he does Caesar, but he'd probably still respect him and serve him out of loyalty to old Caesar; and maybe the worshipping happens over the years ...
• related: Vulpes deciding after Caesar's almost-death that he really needs to do something about Lanius and scheming to have him killed - if that makes Lucius Caesar's new successor, how does Lucius feel about that? how does Vulpes feel about that beyond "at least it's not fucking Lanius"?
• whatever handwavey reason you need to get Lucius into profligate territory with Vulpes - Lucius probably doesn't know much about non-Legion life, so I'd love to see his reaction to that

Star Wars: Knights of the Old Republic

Canderous Ordo/Male Revan

 

I strongly prefer Dark Side Revan, although I'm also fine with a more morally grey version of Revan if that's what you want to write, who's not really interested in this whole binary opposition of good and evil, but just does his own thing. Actually even with Dark Side Revan I prefer Pragmatic Evil and ruthless, power-hungry ambition over Ludicrous Evil and "bwahahaha I kick puppies in my free time for the Evulz". Mostly I'm just not interested in redeemed, saintly Light Side Revan or the LS ending. If you want to include any of the other characters, that's fine by me, although I'd rather not read about Bastila. I especially love HK-47 because he's hilarious.

• loyalty kink, because Canderous canonically just about worships the ground Revan walks on, so I'd love to see anything that expands on that - kneeling and hand-kissing and "loyal dog" rhetoric, including things liks Revan calling Canderous his dog in bed
• violent post-battle sex: Canderous loves a good fight and he considers Revan the greatest warrior who ever lived, so I bet they get up to a lot of blood-soaked fun after fights
• DS!Revan ruling the galaxy post-canon with Canderous as his general
• I'd also like to see disagreements between them, whether it's because you write a less unequivocally cruel and power-hungry Revan or simply because Revan and Canderous sometimes disagree on how to rule the galaxy or how to treat defeated enemies or whatever; I'd love to see Revan both respecting Canderous' opinion, and putting his foot down and reminding Canderous of his place when he's done arguing
• inappropriate uses of the Force: Force-choking, Force-bondage, rough pain play combined with Force-healing, inappropriate uses of telepathy - making Canderous hallucinate, making him feel Revan's presence in his mind, Revan controlling his body while letting Canderous be aware of what he's doing (I'm fine with dubcon, although I'd prefer if the relationship in itself was consensual/if Canderous basically considered it Revan's right to do whatever he likes with him) ... did I mention Force-choking? ;D
• mind bonds are generally a lot of fun to play around with: Revan staying in touch that way when they're apart, invading Canderous' dreams, commenting on Canderous' actions or thoughts, whispering into his brain when Canderous is jerking off or fucking someone else
• I'd prefer if Revan, no matter how DS, was still emotionally attached to Canderous and didn't only consider him a useful tool; I love the whole villains in love trope - Revan loving Canderous with all that mad, possessive Dark Side passion ...

And that's it! I hope that something in my letter inspires you, dear author, and that you find a prompt you'll enjoy writing. I'm very much looking forward to reading what you'll come up with, and I hope you'll also receive a wonderful gift! :D

 

Thanks!linndechir
