marianainthemoatedgrangeFirstly, thank you for signing up/writing for me! As per usual I'm tempted to just be like TAKE THE PROMPTS AND RUN AND I'M SURE I'LL LOVE IT, but since that's literally the least useful way you can write an exchange letter let's proceed with some general guidelines. All prompts and non-dealbreakers are just there as guidelines/suggestions for the pairings, so please don't feel too constrained by them:
Bulletproof Kinks:
- Dirty talk
- Praise kink
- Hand kink
- Frottage/tribadism
- Public/ritual sex
- Overstimulation
- Bondage/restraint
- Gangbangs (consensual or not)
- Tying worldbuilding stuff into whatever fucking/other interaction is happening in the story.
Dealbreakers: are just the usual extremely niche kinks (scat/watersports, shota, ageplay/CGL, vore, guro, snuff - basically if I haven't requested it or you would hesitate to write it for someone without a very specific request, err on the side of caution, or at least get a mod to clarify.)
The Goblin Emperor, Katherine Addison:
Relevant Canon Aspects I Love: Repression, clothing and jewelry porn, meaningful pronoun shifts, everything about nohecharei (seriously, I don't even usually care that much about loyalty kink and I am all over that mess.) Also sensitive, expressive elven ears.
Maia Drazhar/Thara Celehar: Finally, an excuse to get someone else to write this so I don't have to write it myself. >:D Thara lusting guiltily after Maia from afar? The two of them falling into bed together while Thara's Witnessing something for the Emperor? Maia setting out to reward him for the Wisdom of Choharo investigation? (Okay, that last one seems a little farfetched but I imagine *someone* could make it work.)
Csevet Aisava/Csethiro Ceredin/Maia Drazhar: My current OT3 to end all OT3s. Anything from complete PWP filth to casefic about them confronting Serious Political Issues that covers them becoming a cohesive unit rather than a V (followed by complete PWP filth) would make me absolutely overjoyed. I'm especially a fan of Cs2 bonding over how awesome Maia is in the bedroom (especially especially with copious amounts of praise designed to reduce him to a squirming, embarrassed but deliriously happy wreck) so anything with the two of them lavishing attention on him is basically guaranteed to be a win here.
Csevet Aisava/Maia Drazhar: The two of them hooking up on a state visit overseas just for a few stolen moments? Sweet early-morning fluff with the two of them discussing state affairs/Maia's schedule in bed together? The two of them finally acting on a mutually-held desire after years of pining? Anything, everything. (As long as Csethiro knows the score I'm happy with her being uninvolved, or involved and just not there at the time, or whatever, in any of these circumstances.)
Csevet Aisava/Original Male Character(s): Some stuff about Csevet's sordid past as a courier would be great, whether with fellow couriers, clients, or just other randos. (Dub- to noncon would be fine if you do pursue that line of thought.) Or possibly something about him acting on unrequited feelings for Maia with someone vaguely similar-looking/completely different. ⌐_⌐
Cala Athmaza/Deret Beshelar: How inconvenient must a nohecharis's sex life be with the whole schedule angle? How satisfying must it be with someone who's figuratively as well as basically literally your other half? Do either of them have any skeletons in that particular closet (*cough* Dazhis?) How does their devotion to the Emperor figure into it? And speaking of which...
Cala Athmaza/Deret Beshelar/Maia Drazhar: I dearly love the idea of emperors being intimate with their nohecharei being accepted, if not outright approved of, but with or without that angle just give me alllll of the First Nohecharis rotation showing their Emperor how devoted they are (and how hot and gentle and kind and otherwise appealing they find him.) The thought of Maia teaming up with one of them to lavish attention on the other is wonderfully appealing as well.
Gentleman Bastards Sequence, Scott Lynch:
Jean/Locke: ALL OF THE PINING. Mutual or one-sided, possibly up to and including the moment they fuck with both of them angsting about how the other would rather be with someone else. Background casefic would be great, complete PWP would also be great. See ODAO tags for more options (Jean guiltily jerking off to thoughts of Locke or the two of them getting more intimate than they mean to while on a job would be particularly awesome.) Either the Camorr era or subsequently works for me, hence the Underage warning tag if you wanted to go with them being a little younger.
Fallen London, Failbetter Games:
Relevant Canon Aspects I Love: Bizarre steampunky sex toys! Correspondence glyphs for bondage/painplay/pleasure/even more esoteric uses! Peculiar Personal Enhancements! Really attractive people of every sex and gender configuration! As stated by the tags, any kind of Ao3 warning is welcome here as long as it isn't a straight-up dealbreaker - please feel free to capitalize on the grotesque as much as you would like. (Also as alluded to by the tags, sexy writing on skin is My Jam, so that + Correspondence stuff for any of these would probably induce me to gift you my firstborn.)
PoSI/Employee of the Palace of Virtue: Lush, opulent surroundings, plethoras of eager men, women, and others, some of whom are [you know what], and beautiful red stockings on everyone? Yes, please. (A Bag a Legend type trying to seduce information out of one of the relevant [you know what] could be cool, as could a recent London arrival looking to explore all the delights the Neath has to offer. Or a more jaded Neathy palate looking for something new.)
PC/The Correspondence: How does one fuck/become stimulated by the language of the celestial spheres? Is there a middleman? Some kind of overarching consciousness? (All of these answers probably exist in the lore somewhere but I really suck at FBG lore at the best of times so please feel free to make up whatever you want.) Lots of emphasis on the sheer alien-ness of it all would be great.
PC/Devil(ess): How on earth do you actually have sex with a devil? (I can only imagine it differs a lot from devil to devil, but I'd be interested to see what you can come up with.) How does it feel before and after you sell your soul?
Female PC/Female Zee-Captain: Who are they? How do they meet? Is the PC the governor of the Carnelian Coast at the time? Is shipboard flogging involved? Possibly the Fruits of the Zee Festival?
The Quiet Deviless/The Struggling Artist's Model: See above devil-related speculations, as well as how they would come to be acquainted/fall into bed in the first place. The Deviless does seem like a patron of the arts type - is she the SAM's patron? Do the two just move in similar artistic circles? Nude painting, perhaps? Or something even more intimate than that?
Virginia/The Quiet Deviless: Oh my god, how does devil/devil sex even work? Do their underlying selves just sort of... pollinate each other? Are the physical limitations of life outside the Republic really taboo and titillating to them? What if they were in the Republic? Can the human mind comprehend such a thing?
Sunless Sea, Failbetter Games:
Relevant Canon Aspects I Love: All of the characters and their interactions, really. In addition to the above Fallen London aspects I just adore all of the SS NPCs so much and want to explore their interactions with each other/the captain in question. Sexily.
The Lady in Lilac/Zee Captain: What is sex like with someone you can hardly remember/focus on? Does the spirit of the Bazaar come between youpossibly for the world's weirdest spiritual three-way? Hooking up with her during the Maybe's Daughter search (especially in Venice with a lot of setting porn) could be fun, which brings me to...
Maybe's Daughter/Female Zee Captain: A 5+1 (or similar, IDGAF if you follow the formula) with their exploits in the ports of your search? Finding other entertaining places to fuck onboard ship? Sappy curtainfic once you've written the Zong of the Zee and settled down with her as your love interest/she's decided to pursue further information closer to the Fifth City?
Nacreous Outcast/Female Zee Captain: Tentacleeeeeees. I don't care how you do it, just give me all the hot Rubbery Man action. (A side helping of angst about its whole situation, especially it falling in love,(!) would be good for anything beyond surreptitious tentacle-fucking in the engine room/the captain's quarters/that altar in the Shattered Citadel, too.)
Cladery Heir/Female Zee Captain: Ordinarily I'm not a huge medical kink person but I'm entirely willing to make an exception for the Heir. Especially since the kind of medicine she practices seems to be so unconventional anyway. Apart from a good excuse for Victorian-type vibrators and object insertion, something touching on the emotions and more base instincts she specializes in as well as the grossly physical would be great.
Pirate Poet/Female Zee Captain: Rivalry hatesex with an added dubcon element (if nothing else from the "she's like two feet taller than me and made of animated clay" angle) - what's there not to like? Perhaps her having to extend some extra incentive for the captain to rescue her (again?) An erotic poem she wrote the Captain? The possibilities are varied and fascinating.
Brisk Campaigner/Presbyterate Adventuress: The one last night of passion before [you know what] is obviously a given, but what about the two of them hooking up beforehand? A long buildup followed by the sheer boat-rocking ardor of two Elder Continent alumni (or even a short buildup that turns into something longer) getting together? What would everyone else think?
Anyway! Thank you for bearing with me through these and I can't wait to see what you come up with. <3/Mari
