Dear Creator of Smuts
19 Feb 2017 11:33![[personal profile]](https://www.dreamwidth.org/img/silk/identity/user.png)
Here is my letter. First, some general likes and DNWs, then for each fandom, the kinks requested and some prompts/starting points/favorite dynamics for each pairing. If I have top/bottom or dom/sub preferences – or other notes – they're there between the pairing name and prompts. Canon-specific notes are after the kinks and before the pairings. At the end, I've defined the kinks requested as I define them, with some notes on preferences.
– and if you do pegging, have it be a SF dildo that transfers the sensations it receives to its wearer.
Other:
I'm okay with anything from a PWP to a long casefic with a porn scene at the end. I'm 100% OK with established relationships. I prefer conflict to be external rather than solely low-stakes should-I-or-shouldn't-I conflict, and am not a huge fan of slow burn getting-together.
Tonal preferences: For Vorkosigan and KOTOR, a psychologically dark-heady tone (a slightly more intense Barrayar; Malachor). For TGE, a slightly less dark version of the priorly mentioned tone's intensity – think "first sign of wrongness" (definitely darker than the book). For Uplift, light and wry and cheerful (canon-typical?).
Other:
This is fantasy with magic and potential bizarre critters! Who gets a Greater Barizheise Armfish for a birthday present?
Cala Athmaza/Dazhis Athmaza
Please have them be 16+/don't mention ages so I can pretend they're 16.
Cala and Dazhis as mazei apprentices, engaging in magical experimentation, or just being horny teens. Inappropriate usage of newly learned magical spells? Dazhis being a shitbastard and manipulating Cala?
Dazhis Athmaza/Maia Drazhar
Maia has to undergo some pre-nuptial sex training. He picks the nohecharis he likes. Or, Dazhis offers to teach him. Or, they both have crushes and then have intense sex whilst Dazhis plots betrayal. (Dazhis remains in control and offers to Sex Magic Tentacle Overstimulate Maia? Dazhis engages in subterfuge and asks Maia to get him off with some choking?)
Cala Athmaza/Deret Beshelar
They're shift partners and thus spend about 90% of their awake time together. I'm interested in Beshelar as a tightly-wound intense mess held together by rules and Cala as the sliiiightly detached and more in-control one. Beshelar needs to unwind after a trying shift? Cala comes across a sex magic he'd like to try?
Here, Sex Magic stands for inappropriate use of the Force. Force Tentacles and Non-Human Genitalia also welcome as additional kinks.
I prefer an "I did what I had to do and don't regret it" to right-things-for-the-wrong-reasons LS-ish Exile, though go with whatever makes sense to you. No delicate naifs, please.
Female Jedi Exile/Bao-Dur
The Exile doms, Bao-Dur subs. No penetrative sex, please.
These two have a history, and he's deliciously loyal to her. Something during the Mandalorian Wars, perhaps either immediately before or after the Mass Shadow Generator? Or when she makes him a Jedi? Does he just roll over and do whatever she says or does he put up a token resistance? How much does she demand? Is sexual usage of the Force part of the Jedi training?
Female Jedi Exile/Visas Marr
The Exile doms, Visas subs
Visas turns up and gets her ass handed to her, and then the Exile is kind to her. Not only that, but the Exile is sorta human-shaped, unlike Nihilus. Does Visas immediately toss herself at the Exile/yield to her very seductively? How many years' suppression of libido are we talking about? Does the Exile kink on Visas' Force Sight? Sexual usage of the Force as part of sparring practice?
...AKA the sweetness and light and kinking-on-cerebrality-rather-than-physicality fandom. No codependency or darkness here, please. Wit and adrenaline thrills, OTOH, would be welcomed with open arms.
Creideiki/Hikahi
How did they first get together? Seducing each other with Trinary witticisms as foreplay? Did they do something colossally dangerous to get on the Streaker and kink on it later? Two wily dolphins having silly sex.
Note: Please don't do sadness or misery porn over Creideiki's head injury. Keep the tone hopeful.
General note for all ships: Simon's the sub/bottom. Prefer an "incapable of saying no due to internal psychological reasons" fucked-up Simon, and no focus on the loss-of-the-chip thing, please.
Stuff that goes with these pairings: Consent Issues, Danger Kink, Mindfucking
Simon Illyan/Alys Vorpatril
A lifetime of submission to the Empire leaves Simon needy of something to submit to. Alys enjoys holding her Vorfemme knife to his throat. She's had a sort of social power for decades, wants to stay in charge, and enjoys (consensually) manipulating Simon in sex situations.
Simon Illyan/Aral Vorkosigan
Simon gets reduced to a pliant heap on the ground. Aral gets off on being so good at it. Aral using sex to induce loyalty to the Empire in Simon during the Regency. Aral pulling every string at his disposal because being in control feels so good and he knows Simon won't break from it?
Simon Illyan/Ezar Vorbarra
Ezar is possessive of his secretary. Has Simon accidentally (on purpose) irked him? Is Ezar simply preemptively making sure Simon understands he's Personal Property Of Emperor Ezar, No Touching? Ezar decides to get his daily exercise (read: sex) while Simon gives his report?
Simon Illyan/Captain Negri
Negri training (or "training") Simon, perfect vid recorder and secretary. Negri as a stone top, completely in control while he uses every trick in the book to reduce Simon into a quivering heap on the ground. Knifeplay exception here: Negri can slice off Simon's clothes to his heart's content, as long as he issues replacements.
Simon Illyan/Captain Negri/Ezar Vorbarra
Like the above two. Negri being all "How do you want your secretary dommed while you watch?" or perhaps Negri watching Simon for disloyalty while Ezar fucks him. Ezar and Negri arranging for Simon's training and "training".
Simon Illyan/Gregor Vorbarra
Please have Gregor be at least 20.
Some delightfully mutually twisted codependent loyalty thing? Gregor wanting to exercise some more tangible control over the man who watches him every hour, night and day? Simon offering up himself to his liege in a display of loyalty?
Breathplay: Choking. A impedes B's breathing with a hand on the throat region. The control, force, and trust are hot. Dovetails nicely into D/s and competence kink.
Competence kink: A is very competent and B kinks on it. Ties into stuff like breathplay and knifeplay, where the sub is partly kinking on the dom's competence and indeed trusting their life with the dom.
Danger Kink: A finds dangerous situations arousing. Can be regular job dangerous situations that are fapped about later, or can tie into breathplay/knifeplay/etc as a component of the other kink.
Dom/sub: A is in charge during sexytimes. I prefer it as not a lifestyle and not really negotiated, but rather an extension of the dynamic outside the bedroom: a commander-subordinate relationship with lots of sir-ing is A+.
Dubiously Consensual Loyalty Kink: A is so very extremely loyal to B that they in effect cannot even conceive of saying no to B, so all the sex is dubcon.
Femdom: The dom is a woman.
Intelligence Kink: A is intelligent, and B finds it sexy. If A gets to showcase their intelligence, all the better.
Interrogation: A asks B questions in a manner that involves A holding considerable power over B, and using tricks of psychological warfare on B to make them break. Again, the hot bit is A's complete control over B.
Knifeplay: A holds a knife to B's skin (throat etc). Prefer no slicing of clothes or skin.
Overstimulation: B is stimulated to the point where it is Too Much Oh God Stop (Don't), and it is sexy. I like the losing of control that it entails.
Power Dynamics: The people involved have vastly different levels of power (social, military, whatever) outside the bedroom. Said power differential comes into the bedroom, and is focused on.
Sex Magic: Magic spells are used for sexual purposes. (Lube spell, magic tentacles, magic restraints, whatever your mind can come up with, author!)
Tentacles: Tentacles, to be applied sexually. B gets molested by a tentacle critter while A has to watch? A and B have a threesome with a tentacled plant? A uses a tentacle sex toy on B?
Wordplay Kink: Witty poetry etc! Here, excellent Trinary poems being fired back and forth.
