Relationshipping Letter 2021

[linndechir]

Dear Relationshipping writer,

It's that most wonderful time of the year when there's so much incest fic! :D Thank you for writing for me and having a look at this letter. 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. The fandoms are listed alphabetically, and the length/number of prompts doesn't mean I want some fandoms more than others, just that I had more ideas for some.

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.)
• 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, infantilisation (daddy kink and calling characters "boy/girl" is fine); for het: femdom, pegging, focus on cunnilingus

* I'm fine with mentions of characters' past relationships with OCs. However, I don't want these ships to play a central role: a character thinking back of how they tried out this kink before with some guy they hooked up with five years ago, or briefly thinking that they used to date this guy who hated it when they did X? Totally fine. A character spending half the fic thinking about or interacting with their ex? Not something I'm interested in.

Canon-specific: I'm fine with mentions of past canon relationships that were over before canon started (Nikolaos/Myrrine for Odyssey, Joseph/his wife for Far Cry 5). For The Witcher, brief mentions of Geralt's past relationships with Yennefer and Triss (or other people) are fine, as long as he's over them by the time the fic happens. Same with Dishonored or King Arthur, brief mentions of Corvo/Jessamine or Vortigern or Uther with their wives are fine, but I don't want him to spend the whole fic missing her/thinking about her.

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

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)
• 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 in love, bad guys who would literally burn down the rest of the world for each other, horrible people being sweet to each other and awful to everyone else
• 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, PIV for het, 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 - calling each other father/brother/son etc. in bed, fucking in front of mirrors because they get off on their physical similarities ...)
• 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 ...)

Assassin's Creed

Nikolaos/Stentor

Daddy Issues The Ship. :D I'm so here for how not chill and angry and repressed Stentor is about everything, and how loyal and devoted he is to Nikolaos while clearly craving his approval. I also love that they both must have kind of messed up, complicated feelings about each other: Stentor clearly has a chip on his shoulder and he cares so much about being Nikolaos' son that he must angst a lot about also being into him; and Nikolaos lost both his biological kids (and his wife), so adopting someone else must not have been easy for him either. Feel free to play up the incestuous aspect as much or as little as you like - I mean, they do clearly refer to each other as father and son, but I figure that's still a different relationship when Stentor was adopted as a teenager (or maybe even as an adult) than if he spent his whole life as Nikolaos' kid.

I'm 100% here for Stentor having been Nikolaos' eromenos, and Nikolaos eventually adopting him (I don't really care if Stentor basically grew up without parents, or if he was orphaned as a teenager and Nikolaos adopted him then). Underage down to 12ish is totally fine for this ship. Feel free to do whatever with Stentor's age, as long as he isn't quite as absurdly old as he looks in game. ;)

Should it come up, I prefer Alexios as the elder sibling and protagonist. Totally fine with mentions of background Alexios/Brasidas (and Brasidas being alive is always A+), and of Nikolaos/Myrrine and Stentor/the wife he definitely has because he's a Good Spartan (TM), although I doubt that's a particularly loving, passionate relationship rather than just him being dutiful and doing what's expected of him.

• I'm totally up for pre-canon fic: what's Stentor's background? does he have any living family left? what did he do as a teenager to get Nikolaos' attention and become his eromenos (Nikolaos is kind of a big deal, he wouldn't have taken any random kid under his wing)? did Stentor actively try to get his attention and pursue him while Nikolaos was a bit reluctant, or was Stentor surprised that someone as important as Nikolaos was interested in him? at what age did Nikolaos actually adopt him? how long was this after Nikolaos lost his own kids?
• both of them trying to pretend the sex is all about Bonding and Teaching when Stentor is a teenager, and both guiltily enjoying it far more than they think they should
• they think they should stop sleeping with each other when Stentor gets "too old" for it (and maybe he's officially Nikolaos' son by then), but they don't want to ...
• or conversely: they do stop sleeping with each other and only start again years later - maybe after Stentor finds out Nikolaos isn't dead and jumps even though he really really shouldn't? bonus if they end up a lot more passionate about it than they ever allowed themselves to be when Stentor was younger
• both of them angsting to hell and back about how Nikolaos must be disappointed in Stentor for still wanting this, or how Nikolaos must clearly disrespect Stentor if he still treats him like a boy in bed ... feel free to heap as much shame and guilt as possible on them ;D
• they're both very repressed and proper and serious and probably suck at talking about their feelings, so give me all the misunderstandings - Stentor desperately trying to make Nikolaos proud and not knowing that Nikolaos is proud of him, neither of them being entirely aware just how much the other one loves him because they'd never ever talk about it ... maybe physical affection is the only thing they manage?
• Stentor's angst about whether Nikolaos will ever love him as much as the children he lost - especially once Alexios is back in Nikolaos' life and he's a stronger fighter than anyone else and he's charming and handsome and everybody loves him and how the hell is Stentor supposed to compare to that?
• related: Stentor worrying that Nikolaos doesn't really want/need him around anymore once he has his "real" family back and trying to stay away - maybe that can lead to Nikolaos actually telling him he cares about him, even if he has Alexios (and Kassandra) back
• sparring, fighting together, more sparring, hunting together, patching each other up after fights, steamy rough sex after fighting together, saving each other's life on the battlefield ...
• Stentor being far less of a dick to Nikolaos than to everyone else (including, like, his friends and comrades and his wife)
• as repressed and serious as they are, they probably have a really hard time relaxing and having fun, so I just really want some porn for them to see how that goes :D

Alexios/Deimos!Alexios

I love this idea, specifically as a verse in which Alexios had a younger brother rather than a younger sister who was raised by the Cult (I'm fine with Kassandra existing as the third sibling - maybe she actually grew up with Myrrine or Nikolaos after her two brothers were thrown off Mount Taygetos?). Or, what I'd find even more fascinating, if they were twins and actually have some memories of growing up together - I feel like that would make their reunion even more interesting, and also make Deimos feel like it was even more unfair that Alexios got, compared to him, a halfway decent life.

Name-wise, feel free to do whatever - you can call Deimos!Alexios Kassandros if Kassandra doesn't exist, or give him another (Greek) name, or just have him insist on going by Deimos even post-canon if you want to ignore the name issue. I love family feelings for this canon, too, so you can definitely include Nikolaos, Myrrine and Stentor (and Kassandra) as well, if you want to. Since I also ship Alexios/Brasidas, I'm all for complicated feelings about Deimos almost killing Alexios' friend/lover, or Brasidas living and he and Deimos trying to get along somehow post-canon ... If you want to go in a threesome direction, I'm open to that!

• post-canon fic: Deimos coming home to Sparta with the family, trying to adjust to a life away from the Cult, growing close (again) to his brother, or maybe Alexios and Deimos travelling together because Deimos doesn't like staying in Sparta all the time ...
• related: Deimos post-canon trying his best to fit in somehow, and he's pretty sure wanting to fuck your brother is not considered normal, so he tries his best to repress it - cue lots of UST and pining and almost-kisses (meanwhile Alexios is pretty sure he's misinterpreting things because Deimos is kind of weird, that doesn't mean Deimos wants to fuck him, right?)
• angry, resentful hate sex, whether during canon or after - especially once Deimos catches on that the Cult is just using him, he's just angry that he really got the short end of the stick compared to his brother
• Deimos capturing Alexios at some point during canon ... but he doesn't want to kill him - does he creep on him a bit to freak him out, but it turns out Alexios is into it? do they talk a lot and there's UST? do Cult guards threaten Alexios and Deimos keeps him safe, while pretending that's not what he's doing?
• identity porn - does either of them ever pretend to be the other? does the other one catch them at it? does it lead to sexy fighting and/or fighty sex?
• kinking on their similarities, comparing their bodies, retracing each other's scars because those are the only thing different about them ... Deimos cutting new scars into himself and Alexios so they can look more alike? :DDD
• like I said above, I'm 100% here for Alexios/Deimos/Brasidas - are Alexios/Brasidas a thing when Deimos comes back? does Brasidas think Alexios won't really need him around now that he has his brother/twin back? did Alexios and Brasidas just have UST and now Deimos is terribly jealous? does Alexios worry Brasidas won't forgive him for letting Deimos live? do Deimos and Brasidas' attempts at getting along lead to a steamy affair and Alexios is jealous because he wants them both and apparently they don't want him?? except they do

Male Eivor/Sigurd Styrbjornson

Note: I'm fine with Sigurd's arm loss coming up, no need to retcon it (though I also wouldn't mind an AU in which he doesn't get his arm chopped off). But I'd prefer if he learnt how to fight again with his left hand and generally regained his strength, rather than him just feeling helpless and weak forever.

So anyway, this is the part where nobody is surprised that I came out of Valhalla shipping the two brothers who are SUPER INTENSE about each other. They love each other so much - Eivor is so utterly devoted to Sigurd and willing to move mountains for him, and Sigurd trusts Eivor so completely and relies on him and happily leaves him in charge and wants to rule together with him (well, at least until he gets his mind fucked with by Fulke and Basim). They obviously don't care about anyone else in their lives half as much as they do about each other, and it's glorious.

I also just generally really love Eivor - his poetic side, that he's a total badass, that he gets drunk and high all the time, that he's charismatic and could be a leader in his own right but he just really doesn't want to, he wants Sigurd back. I'm quite attached to him being blond, bearded and long-haired - you don't have to mention it in any way, of course, but I'd prefer if you didn't directly contradict it because that might throw me out of the fic for a moment. :) And I love Sigurd's ambition, I love that he's charismatic but also really full of himself, I love that he's kind of a dick, but apparently just immediately adored his new brother.

I don't like Eivor becoming jarl in Sigurd's place in the end. That's the only thing Sigurd ever wanted! So I'd much rather have Eivor refuse if Sigurd offers, or Sigurd doesn't offer, or Eivor initially accepts as a temporary solution, but then makes sure to give the job back to Sigurd once he's feeling better.

I also really don't care for the Isu and the modern storyline. If it gets mentioned, I'll live, but I'd rather not get a fic that focuses much on it. I am totally okay with "Norse mythology is real" AUs in which they just have divine visions or something like that.

I'm happy to read underage for this ship (down to about 15 for Eivor). And they're very much brothers, adopted or not, so I'm all for leaning into the incest angle. I'm totally fine with mentions of any of Eivor's male canon hookups (and of Sigurd having slept with various other people in his life) as long as none of them are particularly romantic. I'm fine with Sigurd and Randvi still being married or not (not like they seem to care all that much about each other) and with Randvi's unrequited thing for Eivor, but I'm not interested in Eivor returning her feelings.

• any kind of pre-canon first time: Sigurd telling Eivor about his conquests and Eivor being way too into that, Sigurd showing Eivor how to kiss/jerk off properly/whatever else you like because that's totally a normal big brother thing to do, Eivor asking Sigurd to show him these things, Eivor telling Sigurd about his fantasies because he's horny and frustrated (maybe pretending they're fantasies about other people, but they're really about Sigurd), bedsharing in cold winters leading to more ...
• generally all the things Sigurd taught Eivor: fighting, hunting, fishing, but also things like Sigurd being with Eivor when he gets his first tattoo (matching tattoos yes/yes?) ...
• they were separated for so long (both when Sigurd went raiding for two years and when he was captured) - so how about rediscovering each other's bodies, new scars and new tattoos, in totally platonic brotherly ways until it's very much not platonic anymore? maybe Eivor got a tattoo high on his thigh precisely so he has an excuse to undress completely to show it to Sigurd?
• sparring/fighting leading to sex! whether it's back in Norway or post-rescue when Sigurd is training to fight with his left hand
• after years of UST, they finally fucked shortly before Sigurd left on his two-year-voyage - that's the reason Sigurd avoided Eivor so much, because he feels like he can't risk doing that again
• Eivor is happily fucking his way through England (while pining for Sigurd) - Sigurd gets jealous and possessive
• Sigurd realises Eivor has a type, specifically men who are taller than him and bearded (and possibly also ginger)
• so that first scene in the game feels like an engagement scene, right? that's not just me? Cue Sigurd and Eivor talking a lot about how they would have been married if Eivor had been a woman ... Can lead to an argument in which one of them tells the other to cut it out (because those jokes hit too close to home), can lead to actual, er, roleplayed wedding night fucking? please no feminisation, though (some joking comments that Sigurd clearly has to top because Eivor is the wife are fine, but not more than that)
• but also: a handwavey AU in which they do get engaged/married - maybe nobody expects them to consummate it because it's not like they can have children anyway, it's just a formal alliance, and the way they grow up together after Eivor's parents' death means they see each other as brothers anyway, so it'd be awkward ... except as they grow older, they really want to consummate said marriage (could be loooong periods of UST and pining until they both dare to admit it, could be Sigurd all but demanding Eivor come to his bed)
• hair and beard washing/braiding - can be in Norway, can be in England early on, can be after Sigurd loses his arm and needs help
• the new arrivals in Ravensthorpe have no idea if Eivor and Sigurd are brothers or lovers - they call each other brother all the time? but they CLEARLY share a bedroom? what is going on? is this just a weird Norse custom? outside POV would be delightful
• but also: new arrivals think they're lovers while Sigurd and Eivor aren't fucking yet ... this makes them reconsider that they might finally have to do something about their UST
• post-canon fic: just give me anything about Sigurd recovering, remembering his actual goals and ambitions in life before he got his head messed with, maybe raiding with Eivor, or getting more involved in the actual leading of his clan again, Eivor helping him get back on his feet, Sigurd interacting with the wolf/the other wolf/the fox/any of the random animals Eivor adopted ...
• post-canon co-ruling: that's what Sigurd basically wanted from the start, right? so instead of all that nonsense about making Eivor jarl, they rule together just like they planned when they left England
• during his weird "I'm a god" phase post-rescue, Sigurd decides that the rules of mortals don't apply to him anymore - so there's no reason he should keep resisting the urge to fuck his brother, right? (I'd be up for both Eivor being all :D about it and something more dubcon-y because Eivor is pretty sure Sigurd will regret this once he comes to his senses, so he should probably say no, but Sigurd won't accept a no and Eivor doesn't want to fight back too hard and hurt him ...)
• fun times with drugs, considering that Eivor is constantly high: taking Sigurd along on one of his wild drug trips, or maybe Sigurd comes to see Eivor while Eivor is already high and Eivor thinks this is a very nice hallucination and doesn't realise they actually fucked until the next day ...
• Sigurd moves into Eivor's room when he and Randvi split because throwing her out feels rude - it's supposed to be temporary (it very much is not temporary)
• Eivor has to seduce someone on a bet, the other person (Vili? very drunk Randvi? one of his raiding crew?) picks Sigurd because no way Eivor can seduce his brother - this can lead to either drunk seducing with lots of filthy jokes, or Eivor going very poetic on Sigurd
• for porn: creative uses of their respective strength, hair- and beard-pulling, Eivor having a thing for getting railed by men who are bigger than him (switching is totally fine, too, I just want Eivor to get fucked at least some of the time), wall sex, adrenaline-fuelled post-battle fucking, knifeplay (knives? axes? just sharp things) ...

Dishonored
Corvo Attano/Emily Kaldwin

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 and I'd like him to keep his even if Emily gets some powers, too.

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 in porn 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.
• also: size kink, wall sex, manhandling - I have simple needs when it comes to het porn, and that's a big guy absolutely wrecking a much smaller woman against whatever surface is available and her loving every minute of it
• 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.]

Far Cry 5
Joseph Seed/Jacob Seed/John Seed (and every combination of them)

Just to be clear: I absolutely ship all three of them together, but I'd be just as happy to read about just two of them with the third one either not appearing at all or not appearing in a shippy way. I'd just ask that you didn't go out of your way to explicitly tell me that they're totally not into the third brother, because I like to imagine that all three of them being together is at least a possibility. :)

I love everything about these three evil bastards. Villainous loyalty kink, devotion, each having their own personal brand of evilness, fucked up tragic backstories, religious weirdness, starting a cult together, murdering and torturing people together, those very different relationships they have with each other - these three really have it all. It's like someone tailor-made them for me. And I love how absolutely batshit insane all three of them are in their own way, completely obsessive and ruthless about it, and I'd really love to see how they all feel about each other's respective batshit insanity, I mean, er, dedication to doing the right thing. ;)

Also, after writing these prompts, I realised they were basically all variations of "oh god I want everything I love them" - I'm sorry? I hope this is still somewhat helpful. But I'm so starved for fic about them that I do, in fact, want everything

• backstory! I especially want to know all about Joseph finding Jacob and/or John when they were at their lowest and saving them - what did he tell them? how did they react to Joseph showing up? did it take Joseph time to convince them and pull them out of their depressed buzz or were they immediately happy to follow him?
• related, I'd love to see more about the early days of the cult - in the game they've already taken over and aren't playing nice anymore, but I'd love to see the earlier recruitment stuff, the preaching and the propaganda and convincing people to join, John's political and legal scheming to acquire all that land, Joseph and John's preaching, the beginnings of Jacob's little army ... also, the songs! how did those (frankly fantastic) propaganda folk songs start? when did Joseph write his Word of Joseph? at what point did John go full torture-dungeon on people when converting them?
• I love Joseph's and John's over-the-top religiousness - how does that play into any incestuous inclinations? does John just say yes to everything his brothers suggest? do they angst about it? does Joseph come up with a convenient reason why this is totally okay? or do they think for a while that it's a horrible sin they need to atone for? what about Jacob - less religious fervour there, but does he feel bad for wanting the brothers he's supposed to protect, or does he think they're all above such petty moral concerns?
• Joseph/Jacob: I love their dynamics of the older brother being the follower, and how that still balances things out between them a little, with Jacob being the only person who isn't afraid of Joseph - does Joseph sometimes still put him in his place (or try to) or does he talk to Jacob when he wants to hear an honest opinion (does he ever want to hear an honest opinion)? do they argue a lot (what with that "he fought me" line in the eulogy)? how does Joseph feel about Jacob's lack of religious fervour - accept it or try to convert him still? and does Joseph ever manage to offer Jacob some comfort for his Tragic Past (TM) despite that?
• Joseph/John: I love that John both worships Joseph and is terrified of him, I love his eagerness to please and fucked up parental issues that he projects onto Joseph (I generally love how much of a fucking MESS John is, he's broken in so many fascinating ways), and Joseph loves him but is clearly not above manipulating him (possibly while telling himself it's for John's own good/to rein in his worst impulses) - and also, Joseph likes to criticise John's sadism at times, but also enables it, so how does that work in his mind? I also like them bonding over their whole religious rapture thing; oh, and I'd love John guiltily confessing that he wants Joseph (and Jacob) because he's all about exposing his horrible sins and atoning for them and being punished ... and then Joseph gives him what he wants instead of punishing him
• Jacob/John: I'd love to see them interact since that's not really something canon gave us - I imagine there is some jealousy on John's side about Jacob being, in a way, a rival for Joseph's love (and also much more of Joseph's equal), but at the same time they might well have a more normal brotherly relationship (minus the whole Father and Messiah thing John has with Joseph) - I like Jacob being protective of him, and I like John trying to make him see the light (or maybe enjoying that Jacob isn't really his responsibility to guide and to convert); I like them bonding over their devotion to Joseph even as it comes from very different places, and maybe also bonding over their very inappropriate attraction to him (especially if they think Joseph doesn't feel that way about them); I'd also be up for John starting some very fucked up attempts at finally making Jacob find his faith (even if it means hurting him? or trying to?) - or conversely Jacob deciding to take John on a hunting&survival trip to toughen him up, and maybe ending up quite impressed with how much John can take?; I'd love to see them find common ground once they're reunited despite having lived such extremely different lives
• and if you throw all three of them together, how does that go? is John jealous of what Jacob and Joseph have? how does Jacob feel about Joseph pretty shamelessly manipulating John? how does Joseph feel about his brothers maybe turning to each other for comfort about this whole incestuous attraction business rather than to him?
• throw as much religious stuff over all this as you like - sexy confessions, sexy punishments, begging for forgiveness, kneeling, their whole scarification and tattoo kink (does Jacob have any of those, hidden under his clothes? did John or Joseph insist? did Jacob want them, for his own reasons?), guilt and lots of talk about shameful sins, but also convoluted justifications for why it's totally fine for them to love each other that way ...
• porn-wise: lots of kneeling, cutting and blood/knifeplay, Joseph having a Thing for being called Father, D/s and ordering each other around (I'm honestly up for any switching or top/bottom constellation you like), one of them watching the other two (and maybe commenting on it/telling them what to do), John's sadism and his masochism, Jacob manhandling them, weird religious talk in bed ...

Fast and the Furious series
Deckard Shaw/Owen Shaw

This ship combines my love for incest and my love for ruthless, horrible villains who would do anything for each other. I love how much of a scheming bastard Owen is, who probably enjoys manipulating even Deckard (who knows it and just doesn't care). I love Deckard being an overprotective raging One Man Army who will burn the world down for his little brother. I love that they care about absolutely nothing in the world but each other.

I was not happy with what canon did with them in the more recent movies, so I'd prefer if we could just ignore F&F 8 and the Hobbs and Shaw movie. I'm not interested in the watered down version of them where Owen was just manipulated by Cypher and Deckard is secretly not all that bad and also likes babies and they suddenly have a sister? Yeah, no, thanks. I want to read about them being the unrepenting, murderous fucks we got in F&F 6 and 7, and I like the "us against the world" aspect of the ship far too much to want them to have a bunch of other relatives.

• Deckard is 8 years older than Owen, so Owen was still a kid when Deckard joined the military: how did that go? Was there any resentment on Owen's side? Did he just have a big case of hero worship, since he followed his brother's example as soon as he could?
• at what point did they go from big brother/little brother to equals?
• how did they both manage to get kicked out of the SAS? Did they fuck up? Did one of them fuck up and the other followed him into exile, so to speak? Did they get blamed for someone else's mistake? Did they get greedy and start making money on the side? Or anything about that time the military sent a ton of Special Forces guys to kill Deckard and they failed?
• post-F7 fic: either Deckard breaking out of prison and being there while Owen recovers, or Owen waking up from his coma and getting back to his feet and breaking his brother out of prison (I'd prefer if Owen didn't have any permanent health issues from his coma; it's an action movie, people can survive horrific injuries with not much more than a few scars, right?). How does almost dying/getting locked up change their relationship? Roaring rampage of revenge y/y? (While I like the protagonists of the F&F movies, I'm not so emotionally attached to them that I wouldn't happily read about the Shaw brothers getting their revenge against them.)
• any kind of first time fic would be great. When did the incestuous obsession with each other start? When they were still pretty young? Did teenage Owen somehow manipulate his big brother into giving him what he wants? I'm fine with underage as long as Owen is at least 15ish by the time they actually sleep with each other, and I'm cool with Owen fantasising about his brother/being all around inappropriate towards him even when he's younger. Or did it only start when they were in the military together and Deckard saw Owen more as an equal than as his little brother? Did it only start after they got kicked out of the military?
• for this pairing I love obsessive pining, voyeurism before they get together (i.e. watching each other screw other people), possessiveness/jealousy ("I will kill you if you ever let anyone else fuck you" and the like), rough sex, completely obsessive incestuous codependency, being horrible people to everyone but each other, delighting in each other's horribleness, delighting in each other's badassery, sweaty rough sparring, gun/knife play, kinking on being brothers - basically go kinky if you like.
• while I didn't like what F&F8 did with them otherwise, Cypher was a really cool villain, so if you wanted to write a plotty, action-y fic in which the Shaw brothers go after Cypher together (not for ~corrupting~ Owen, but maybe simply because she fucked them over at some point), that would be awesome.
• I'm always here for F&F/Expendables crossovers, whether it's just the Shaws and the Expendables working together, or the Shaws and Lee having history from their time in the SAS, or Owen banging Lee because he looks like Deckard ...

King Arthur: Legend of the Sword

I loved pretty much everything about this movie, from the amazing soundtrack to the awesome costumes to the hilarious dialogues to the really all around cool characters. But what really made the movie for me was Jude Law's completely over-the-top, wonderfully ruthless but completely tormented, power-hungry Vortigern. I would love fic from Vortigern's POV because his self-delusion and all his justifications for why he does what he does are fascinating, but don't feel like you have to - seeing him from an outside POV would also be fun. And this fandom is made for creepy magic rituals, creepy fantasy creatures, deals with the devil siren, blood magic ... do what you want with that, including magic sex rituals.

My prompts for this fandom stray much darker than for most of my other ships, so feel free to ignore my usual likes about wanting my ships to be happy together. I'm also perfectly okay with Uther's or Catia's canonical death, although I'd still rather not read about Vortigern dying (and I'd rather not get a fic that's ONLY about their death either). I love Vortigern coming out on top, so please don't write me an AU in which Uther defeats him or something like that.

Vortigern/Uther

Totally fine with pre-canon, during canon, post-canon AU in which Uther somehow doesn't die ... Underage down ot about 15 is fine, if you want to go there, and I'm up for both a more consensual version of the ship or some dubcon/noncon (or even both in the same verse? maybe they used to have a consensual relationship when they were younger, but Uther ended it and Vortigern refused to accept that?). Basically, feel free to do whatever works for you with these prompts.

• I'd love for Vortigern to have had an obsessive thing for Uther since they were young - whether it used to be all love that only slowly turned into jealousy and resentment or whether there was resentment from the start
• unrequited Vortigern/Uther would be interesting, but I'd also love to read about them having had a sexual relationship when they were younger and Uther eventually calling it off (maybe when he got married) and Vortigern being furious about it
• they do seem to disagree on more than a few things, so - hate sex, arguments leading to angry fucking on map tables, whether it's Vortigern taking his frustration out on Uther and Uther letting him (or not letting him), or Uther reaffirming his authority by making his unruly younger brother bend over or get to his knees ...
• inappropriate use of magic! whether it's consensual and Uther loves what Vortigern can do with magic, or whether Vortigern uses magic to bind or manipulate Uther (magic to make him consent to things he wouldn't otherwise consent to would be hot, but I'm less into magic to make him forget about what they did)
• canon divergence AU in which Vortigern captures Uther alive and *handwave* keeps him for some magic rituals to bind the sword to him: basically he keeps Uther locked up in a dungeon or in a nice, comfortable, but inescapable room ... to use him for weird blood magic, to flog orwhip him, to fuck him, to rant at him how much this is all Uther's fault for not loving him enough ...
• related to that: a verse in which Vortigern captures young Arthur, basically raises him as his own son, teaches him to love him as much as Uther never did, and grooms him while he's at it (underage down to about fifteen is fine and even very welcome) - or maybe Vortigern just really enjoys rubbing it in Uther's face that his son loves and appreciates him properly
• a seduction-to-the-dark-side AU in which Vortigern manages to be a terrible influence on Uther and they rule as ruthless villain kings together would be fun :D

Vortigern/Catia

For this ship, underage down to about fifteen is fine and very welcome (some inappropriate touching/kissing before that works, too, but I'd rather not read about them actually fucking while she's younger than that). I'll gladly read something properly dubcon and fucked up for this or something a lot more consensual and creepily happy - whichever works better for you. I'd prefer no outright noncon, though - she can be reluctant and he can be very creepy, but I'd prefer her at least enjoying the whole thing to some extent.

I'm not super into replacement goldfish vibes - I'm fine with the occasional mention of her mother or Vortigern missing her or noticing some similarity between mother and daughter, but I wouldn't enjoy him constantly thinking about her mother while he's with her or only being attracted to her because she reminds him of her mother, things like that.

• Vortigern being all obsessive and protective because she's the only person he has left in the world - how does she feel about that? does she enjoy it? does she feel locked up?
• as the king's only child, of course she's expected to marry and probably has lots of nobles and princes lining up - Vortigern hates it and is convinced that no man is good enough for her, so maybe he comes up with increasingly absurd reasons why none of her suitors are acceptable; maybe she eventually calls him out on it because she'd like to get married; maybe she enjoys his protectiveness and jealousy; maybe he eventually decides to marry her himself because obviously he's the only one who'll love her enough
• Vortigern getting increasingly inappropriate with her while still coming up with all kinds of deluded justifications for what he's doing (oh, he just kissed her, that's no big deal - oh, well, he got her off, but it's not like he fucked her - oh, well, he had her get him off, but she's still a virgin, all is well, and so on).
• magic shenanigans! maybe the sirens tell Vortigern he needs to fuck his daughter for more power (thinking this'll make her hate him, which would be an even bigger sacrifice than killing her, but surprise, she liked it!); maybe some other ritual magic sex, maybe Vortigern showing/teaching Catia some magic ...
• masked balls/masquerades, the two of them dancing together, plausible deniability for doing more than that ...
• maybe something like the Fugue Feast in Dishonored exists in this world, too - and the forbidden, unacceptable things Vortigern and/or Catia want to do are fucking each other ... and afterwards they expect not to talk about it and never do it again, except they really want to ...
• Catia finds the sirens and asks for their help to make her father fall in love with her/desire her/act on his attraction to her ... or if you want a more innocent Catia, maybe she just wants him to spend more time with her or pay more attention to her, and she has no idea that what she'll get is him realising how beautiful she's grown up to be and that he wants her
• Vortigern's clothes are so gorgeous, so I'd love him fucking her while he's completely dressed and she's naked
• throne sex? there should be throne sex

The Witcher (game verse)
Geralt/Ciri

I'll never be over how much I love these two. Moving heaven and hell to save each other! The fact that Ciri seems completely incapable of talking to Geralt without touching him. The way they LOOK at each other. Mutual protectiveness, lying and killing for each other, fighting together, witcher!Ciri hitting the road with Geralt (I'm not really into Empress!Ciri).

For the record, I'm familiar with the show, but haven't read the books; but I'm fine with working in elements from either canon if you want to - I'd just prefer game canon when there are contradictions. As for canon ships, I'd prefer if we could treat all of Geralt's past canon ships as "I guess they happened, but they're over now and he's over them" (especially for Geralt/Yennefer, I really like the Last Wish side quest ending with him realising that, without the djinn, he just isn't that crazy about her). They can get mentioned, but I'd prefer if they didn't play a huge role.

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". Most of my prompts are for post (or during) canon fic, but should you have a great idea for something set earlier, go ahead - underage is perfectly fine down to about 15.

• post-canon fic, when they're witchering together or maybe settled down in Toussaint and just working when they feel like it
• sparring, fighting together, Geralt teaching her, mutual life-saving, patching each other up after battles ...
• lots of guilty pining and UST and trying to be in denial about it because they shouldn't be into each other, and anyway there's no way the other one feels the same, except it becomes harder and harder to be in denial and eventually all that UST explodes in their faces and they fuck and angst some more but eventually live happily ever after ...
• they're so touchy-feely in canon, so more of that please - less and less plausible deniability, touching that feels less and less platonic ...
• "Oh No They're Hot" moments: mostly Geralt having a moment of "oh no, she grew up and is hot now", but I'd also be up for grown-up Ciri only realising now that her father figure is hot as fuck when they meet again
• Ciri pursuing what she wants because Geralt would just pine stoically and never do anything, so Ciri has to get him to break somehow (can be something sweeter and fluffier, can be her shamelessly teasing him until he breaks)
• maybe on top of everything else, Geralt assumes Ciri isn't into men because she's only ever expressed interest in women (I'd be very much here for Ciri never having slept with a guy until Geralt)
• what if Ciri doesn't come back immediately after the finale and Geralt assumes she died? he tries to move on, maybe goes to Toussaint and tries to start anew there, but he's absolutely devastated ... and then it turns out there was just some portal wonkiness and Ciri is back
• for porn: size kink, wall sex, manhandling - I have simple needs when it comes to het porn, and that's a big guy absolutely wrecking a much smaller woman against whatever surface is available and her loving every minute of it (probably after Ciri teased him so badly he's going a bit crazy)
• also: scar kink, sparring leading to sex, hurt/comfort wound tending leading to sex, bathing leading to sex, Geralt with his decades of experience blowing Ciri's mind ...
• I'm not usually into marriage fic, buuuut ... since they're pretending Ciri is dead ... what if people in Toussaint simply assume the young woman who moved in with Geralt is his new wife? and Geralt wants to correct them, but Ciri thinks it's a great cover! so now they're fake-married and Ciri will absolutely milk that for what it's worth to touch him in public while the UST gets worse ... (I love the whole Toussaint side cast, btw, especially Damien, so feel free to have them show up)
• maybe something like the Fugue Feast in Dishonored exists in this world, too (could be a tradition in Toussaint) - either one or both of them decide to take advantage of that to finally try to get what they want from each other, fully expecting that they'll never talk about it again afterwards ... but they both can't stop thinking about it, so sooner or later it'll happen again

And that's it! I hope that something in this letter works for you, a prompt you find interesting or a trope you enjoy writing. I'm looking forward to seeing what you come up with, no matter which fandom we matched on! :D

Thank you!
