Heart Attack 2024

Good luck, and thank you for whatever you create! My username is [archiveofourown.org profile] forsworn.

I'm requesting three safety fandoms:
Don't Worry Darling (2022)
Dungeons & Dragons: Honor Among Thieves (2023)
The Princess Diaries (Movies)

And two other movie fandoms:
DC Extended Universe
Star Trek: Alternate Original Series

I'm also opting into:
Receiving a 25 panel, 10 page comic instead of a fic.
Treats, if you're so inclined.

I've tried to add some plottier prompts to give you more to work with, but if you're creating a comic or if you have a more verbose writing style and need smaller ideas to prevent things getting entirely out of hand, then the ones in my previous letters might help. Or I'm very happy to receive a work that's entirely PWP or plotless fluff if that's where your interest lies.

Don't feel you have to stick exactly to the prompts I've given either; most of them are formatted "maybe it would go like X or maybe like Y" but for some I've given details for flavour - you don't have to keep those details if you have an idea that would work better. Or you could ignore my prompts entirely and write something based on my general likes, some of which are quite specific but others pretty broad.

I'm happy with ratings from G to Explicit for sexual content and G to T for violence. (Blood is okay, pain is great, but I don't want exposed organs or bones poking out or things like that.) I'd love anything from the softest fluff to the kinkiest smut, from feelsy hurt/comfort to angsty mutual pining. Canon-style plots and adventures are very welcome, but I'm also happy with a focus on tropes or emotional connection instead. Basically: I like a lot of stuff.

If you're a potential pinch hitter considering consuming one of my requested canons (thank you!) I've written short primers for each of my safety fandoms, so you can get a taste of them and the kinds of things I'm asking for before reading my specific prompts, which contain unmarked spoilers. My prompts for Don't Worry Darling in particular spoil the central mystery of the film, so I'd advise watching the movie before reading those, if that's the canon you choose.

  • And lots of colour palettes: realistic colours, bright colours, pastel colours, monochrome, monochrome plus a splash of colour, earthy tones...
  • All of which amounts to: show me your style! Create what you're inspired to create, in the style that feels natural to you.


Art DNWs:

  • Struggling through sex pollen/an omegaverse heat/etc without having sex, only giving non-sexual comfort for the symptoms.
  • The awkward vulnerability of comfort requiring a new level of intimacy.
  • Stern/gruff characters making tiny gestures as a comforter and the comfortee understanding that significance. A comforter understanding when the comfortee only wants tiny gestures, and the comfortee being grateful for that understanding. People who are comfortable with each other giving and accepting large amounts of comfort.
  • Stoic hurt characters refusing to break down. Stoic hurt characters letting it all out.
  • I love both the hurt and comfort parts of the equation! Go heavy on one part and less on the other, or have an equal mix of both.


Smut Likes:
  • Positions: Missionary, riding and other face-to-face positions, for eye contact and/or lots of kissing. But spooning pairs well with gentle sex, and oral fingering's probably more easily done from behind.
  • Locations: In bed, in a chair, against a wall, on the floor... In the bedroom, in the living room, in an alley, in a forest, in a dungeon, on a ship, on the victorious battlefield... Basically anywhere? Yeah.

Having to trust each other with the unexpected intimacy. Worrying about being so vulnerable but being kind to each other and coming out stronger on the other side.
  • Size kink and stretching: Big cocks. Painful penetration. Lots of foreplay/prep, slow and gentle penetration so it isn't painful. Large object insertions. Sounding.
  • Omegaverse: Alpha/Omega. Painfully big alpha dicks. Knotting. Sexy pheromones. Pheromones that communicate fear, or anger, or other emotions. Alpha pheromones that make the omega feel safe, or protected, or calm.
  • An undercover situation requires them to fuck while being watched, but they successfully fake it - except the kisses, the touches, the proximity, and the "is it okay if I..." questions whispered right in each other's ears were all very real. And some of those moans didn't sound fake. Either they're so wound up they fuck for real once they're no longer being watched, or the feelings keep simmering until they boil over later.





Primer: Don't Worry Darling



Alice lives an idyllic life with her beloved husband Jack. By day, she cooks, cleans, relaxes with her friends and purchases glamorous 1950s clothes. By night, she throws dinner parties and has frequent passionate sex with Jack.

But strange and unsettling events mean she begins to question life in their isolated small town - and her own sanity. Hallucinations and missing time leave her sure that something is very wrong, but nobody believes her - except her unstable neighbour, Margaret, whose treatment only serves as a warning to her. Alice becomes convinced that the source of trouble is the charismatic Frank, who runs the company where all the men in the town of Victory work. An intellectual battle of wills ensues as Alice becomes determined to uncover Frank's secrets - even as he becomes ever more invested in her, in her husband, and in their passionate marriage.

This film stars Florence Pugh as Alice, Harry Styles as Jack, and Chris Pine as Frank. It was directed by Olivia Wilde, who also plays Alice's friend Bunny. The cinematography is gorgeous, with a glamorous 1950s aesthetic and several dance sequences. And, in my opinion, the chemistry between Alice and Frank is absolutely electric.

Don't Worry Darling is available on Hulu in the US, or via NowTV or Sky Cinema in the UK. Also available to rent from Amazon, Apple, Google, Youtube, etc.

What am I requesting?
Alice/Frank: mindfuckery, sexual tension, intellectual rivalry, hate sex, noncon. Missing scenes, canon divergence AUs, setting change AUs.





Primer: Dungeons & Dragons: Honor Among Thieves


warning: flashing lights

Charming bard Edgin and his best friend Holga are serving time in a maximum security prison due to a failed heist, after they attempted to steal an artifact to resurrect Edgin's murdered wife. Eager to be reunited with Edgin's daughter Kira, they break out of prison and go on the run.

In order to reclaim Kira and pull off a second heist for that artifact, they join forces with their old friend Simon, a young sorcerer who struggles with both his magic and his self-esteem, and his new love interest Doric, a spiky druid capable of transforming into animals. They also temporarily team up with Xenk, a stoic and kind-hearted paladin who takes everything literally - and, to Edgin's great displeasure, who shares his origins with the people who murdered Edgin's wife.

But as the party draw on their individual skills to put their plan into action, they discover that greater forces are in play - and that far more is at stake than simply reuniting Edgin's family.

This film stars Chris Pine as Edgin, Michelle Rodriguez as Holga, Justice Smith as Simon, Sophia Lillis as Doric, Regé-Jean Page as Xenk and Hugh Grant as Forge. Knowledge of D&D is a bonus but definitely not required. This film has a big heart and a surprisingly wholesome attitude, with a lot of humour amongst the angst and danger. Edgin and Holga's entirely platonic male-female friendship is a delight, and the party form something of a found family. There are several great fight sequences, each with a different flavour, from barbarian Holga's brawls with improvised weapons to Xenk's elegant and precise swordplay.

The film is included with a Paramount+ subscription. Also available to rent from Amazon, Apple, Google, Youtube, etc.

What am I requesting?
Xenk/Edgin: post-canon adventures, fluff, angsty mutual pining, hurt/comfort, smut. Getting together, established relationship.
Simon/Doric: post-canon adventures, fluff, backstory-related angst, hurt/comfort, smut. Developing relationship, established relationship.





Primer: The Princess Diaries



Awkward and clumsy teen Mia Thermopolis lives in San Francisco with her single mother and her cat, Fat Louie. As her sixteenth birthday approaches, her estranged grandmother Clarisse comes to visit - and reveals that Mia is secretly a princess and heir to the crown of a small European country, Genovia. Mia reluctantly agrees to take "princess lessons" with her grandmother, but when her secret is revealed to the world she struggles with the newfound attention. Mia has only weeks to decide whether to accept or reject her new role as a princess.

In the second film, having just graduated from college and turned 21, Mia returns to Genovia to prepare for her grandmother's abdication so that she can be crowned in her stead. But an ambitious and manipulative member of parliament invokes a centuries-old law: no unmarried woman can take the throne of Genovia. If Mia doesn't find a husband in 30 days, the crown will go to his nephew, Nicholas Devereaux.

Facing the choice between a rushed arranged marriage or losing the crown, Mia's life is further complicated when her grandmother invites Nicholas to stay at the palace. Nicholas turns out to be the gracious and charming man she flirted with at a ball - and who now begins an infuriating campaign of flirting with her in return.

Continually meeting each other because of proximity, Mia attempts to ignore Nicholas as she tries to build a rapport with her chosen fiance, a kind and handsome man she feels no passion for. But while Mia trains to be queen, several tricks by Nicholas's manipulative uncle - and a few disastrously charged moments with Nicholas himself - leave Mia wondering whether to commit to a loveless marriage just to keep the crown, or to take a chance on her chemistry with rakish Nicholas... and risk losing everything.

These films star Anne Hathaway as Mia and Julie Andrews as Clarisse; Chris Pine plays Nicholas in the second film. They're cute and funny teen films, with surprisingly feminist themes in the sequel. If you just want to relax and indulge in some tropey fun, they're a great way to spend an afternoon. As well as the enemies-to-lovers Mia/Nicholas ship that I'm requesting, there's some delightful loyalty kink between queen Clarisse and her bodyguard Joe. (My request is based entirely on the second film, so you could technically skip the first one - but while you'd easily be able to follow the plot, the sequel does have a lot of callbacks to the first film.)

Both the first and second film are included with Disney+. Also available to rent from Amazon, Apple, Google, Youtube, etc.

What am I requesting?
Mia/Nicholas: sexual tension, fluff, humour, hurt/comfort, smut. Missing scenes, post-canon relationship, setting change AUs.





Diana Prince/Steve Trevor

I love that they're both competent, but that Diana really got to shine as a badass - and that Steve, despite the attitudes of his time period, was impressed by her. Diana is so determined and forthright, but the culture clash and her mostly-theoretical knowledge means she starts off quite naive and has to learn how to deal with the complexities of the wider world. Steve is trying hard to be a good man and make a difference, but he's clearly seen terrible things during the war and he has to be haunted by them.

They make such a good team, both as adventurers and as a couple, and I'd love to see them in a happy established relationship. (Okay, angst is fine too. Especially if it results in hurt/comfort!) Feel free to do a canon divergence AU where Steve survives the first film, or else find some other way for them to be together and stay together. (Or just not explain how these two are back together, beyond the fact that they ought to be, damnit.)

  • Maybe they unknowingly formed a soulbond, and it means Steve can't die. Maybe he lives - but loses his memory? But the soulbond is still there, and draws them back together again. Or maybe he still has his memories, but now they're starting to hear each other's thoughts or feel each other's feelings and they have to learn to deal with that.
  • Or maybe Steve gets reincarnated and Diana has to find him again. Is he haunted by dreams that feel so real - almost like memories? Is she feeling this strange new pull towards a place she's never been, or a person she's never met - but who feels so familiar, for reasons she doesn't understand?
  • Steve survived, maybe with injuries that are still healing, but even with the war over there are new enemies and dangers on the horizon. The two of them have to set out to save the world again, while navigating their new relationship. Maybe with Etta along for the ride?
  • Considering how much this draws on ancient Greek myth, maybe an Ancient Greece AU? You could bring back Ares as a villain, or maybe have some other trouble with the gods, or something else from ancient Greek lore - Medusa, Hercules, the Argo? I don't know, I'm just drawn by the vibes.
  • Steve's soul gets stuck in Diana's body with her. Now she can hear his thoughts, see him in her dreams, and has to deal with the intimacy of him being so close at all times. Does she think she's going mad at first? Can he share his memories - or are they leaking into hers? Can she find some magic to recreate his body for him? (What's masturbation like, with him seeing and feeling - and commenting on - everything she's doing? Or what about having sex in those dreams?)
  • Anything where Diana's kicking ass and taking names, and Steve is thoroughly appreciating it - maybe he even has a competence kink, and gets so riled up by watching her lay waste to the baddies that they have a frantic fuck in the aftermath?
  • All the tropey and kinky uses of the lasso of truth. Seeing who can last the longest before blurting out "I love you"? Bondage rope to tie Steve up? Just kinking on the weirdly intense feeling caused by the lasso? Yeah.
  • Show me that night in Veld. Obviously Diana had never been with a man before; had she ever been with anyone? And considering the time period, despite being a flirty spy Steve might not be that experienced either.
  • Diana absolutely domming the shit out of Steve. Maybe he's initially reluctant to agree, but the idea makes him weak at the knees and he ends up begging for it - in all kinds of ways. Feel free to include bondage, collaring, and/or kneeling, or just show me them kinking on the giving and following of orders.
  • They hadn't quite perfected suppressants then, so omega Steve has always had to suffer through half-suppressed heats. Maybe the first time alpha Diana sees him have one, they aren't together yet, and she just holds him through it without them fucking. Or maybe it happens when they're a couple, and she gives him what he needs.




Alice Chambers/Frank Carlson

I loved the mindfuckery aspects of this film, and Frank was so compellingly creepy that I both wanted to run away and couldn't take my eyes off him. Their intellectual rivalry and mind games, with Frank daring Alice to work out what's really going on, sparked such good chemistry between them, and I'd love to see more in that vein - or maybe Frank alters Alice's memory to keep her unknowing and compliant. If you want to do smut, I'm happy for it to be anywhere from noncon to dubcon to fully consensual (if maybe conflicted and/or filled with shame).

I'm fine with missing scenes, with canon divergence (Frank lives and Alice gets caught; Shelley escapes instead of Alice; Alice goes for a final showdown with Frank; etc) or with setting change AUs (it's the 1950s for real and Victory is developing a mind serum; Victory is a cult; Frank and Alice are teacher/student in the modern area, or at a magic academy, or in space; etc).

Considering the nature of the relationships in this canon, I have no problem with either Alice or Frank "cheating" on their partners, and I'm fine with both Jack/Alice and Frank/Shelley in the background. Jack can be alive or dead - or you can kill him off again, if you're doing an AU - but if Shelley exists I want her to survive. (Maybe Shelley escapes instead, and Frank decides to claim Alice in her place?)

  • Every time they meet at a party, Frank gets a little closer to Alice - both as a friend, and physically invading her personal space. Maybe she feels guilty about the way his proximity lights a fire inside her, but Jack keeps encouraging more between them. Maybe before she begins to suspect him - or even after they start their cat-and-mouse game - Alice is more receptive to Frank's advances, and he slowly melts her reluctance over several encounters... until he kisses her, and she kisses him back. Or more.
  • The next time Alice breaks through the brainwashing, she realises Frank has been wiping her memory over and over. But the more good memories she builds with him, the harder it is to keep hold of the bad ones.
  • Is there such a thing as hurt/non-consensual comfort? Maybe Alice goes for a final confrontation with Frank - but she's injured, and he overpowers her. And then he insists on caring for her: bandaging her wounds, holding her close, brushing her hair from her face, kissing her forehead, gently touching her, or murmuring that everything's going to be alright... just looking after her in a way that's both soft and creepy, and which Alice doesn't want but can't refuse.
  • Not strictly a prompt in itself, but definitely something you could work into another prompt: worldbuilding! I have so many questions about Victory and how it works. Did Frank code the software, design the hardware, or both? What was causing the tremors? Was the crashing plane part of the simulation, or just in Alice's head? We know that the children aren't real, so who else is just a programme - the bus driver, the shop assistants, Frank's henchmen in red? How much control does Frank have over Alice's memories? Feel free to play with the inner workings of Victory, for shippy reasons or otherwise.
  • Frank has found a way to reveal soulmate marks in a world that never had them... or maybe he's actually found a way to forcibly create - or overwrite - a soulbond that didn't exist. Once Jack is gone, Frank tears apart her bond with him and forces Alice to be his soulmate instead.
  • When Jack encourages Alice to join him on these new personal development courses he's got into, it seems harmless enough. But Frank, the leader of Victory Mindset, singles Alice out and tells her she has real potential. Alice slowly gets drawn into the spider's web, and by the time she realises just how dangerous and unhealthy Frank's methods for "helping" his followers are, she's in so deep that getting out won't be easy... Or maybe, despite the unsettling feeling inside her, Alice never manages to see through Frank's mask at all.
  • Alice was growing tired of Jack, but these days it's hard to remember why - he seems so magnetic now, and it's hard to question things when she's so much more tired than she used to be. She keeps waking up with two strange marks on her neck. And Jack's new friend Frank seems to have a power over him - and her - that she can't really explain. There's something about Frank's hypnotic eyes, and the way he looks at her like he wants to devour her...
  • Frank is the headmaster of a college that teaches sex magic. Alice gets along with her partner Jack, but she can't help but be flattered by Frank taking a special interest in her - and suspicious about the costs and ultimate goals of the intimate magic he's teaching. Maybe Frank offers some personal tuition, tells Alice she's in danger of failing out, and/or asks for her help with a special spell. Maybe Alice discovers a dark truth at the heart of the college, but has to play along while she collects the evidence to prove it.
  • A glitch in Victory's software has a sex pollen-like effect. And these two just happen to be in close proximity when it hits them.
  • Frank tweaks Victory's software so that he and Alice can feel each other's pleasure, or hear each other's thoughts... or even so that he can control Alice's arousal directly, maybe even make her orgasm with the press of a button.
  • Omega Alice goes into heat, and with Jack away (or dead) she needs help from alpha Frank to get her through it. But being knotted by him is way more intimate than she bargained for.
  • Now that Jack's out of the picture, Frank decides to just take what he wants. Whether he pins her down, ties her up, manhandles her against a wall, or quietly threatens Alice before gently nonconning her, he's going to force her to enjoy it.




Edgin Darvis/Xenk Yendar

I have so many feelings about these two. I love their banter and how they spark off each other, how Edgin sees Xenk as an enemy but then grows to respect him and doesn't want him to leave, how Xenk is frustrated with Edgin's criminal tendencies but fully believes in his goodness and is determined to draw it out... Making Edgin swear on the Harper's seal, then tenderly touching his hand? In fact, all of the hand-holding, and the offers of hand-holding. I'd love to see how their relationship develops after the film, with a softer friendship blossoming into romance. (And more touching. Lots of touching. And banter.)

These two are so good for mutual pining. Maybe Xenk thinks he can't be with anyone because of his duty as a paladin, or because the Beckoning Death has left him cursed, partially undead, lacking part of his soul, etc. Maybe Edgin finds out Xenk is a virgin and assumes the guy isn't interested in sex at all. (I do headcanon Xenk as a virgin.) Or Edgin thinks Xenk's too noble and pure to want a criminal like him, or thinks Xenk wants someone more serious or more intellectual. Xenk thinking Edgin's too charming and sociable to want someone as awkward and unbending as him... I love the angsty possibilities of all this, the two of them keeping their feelings secret even as they're practically bursting with longing. Especially as both of them are so touchy-feely! They must be torturing each other.

  • Xenk has recurring nightmares about the Beckoning Death. Edgin comforts him after one, either because he was on watch in camp, because they were forced to share a bed, or because they're already sleeping together.
  • Oh no, they just touched this magical artifact and now they have a telepathic soulbond! Does Xenk start thinking exclusively in Thayan so Edgin can't hear his pining? Does Edgin have to keep singing a song in his head so he doesn't start thinking about the way Xenk's touching him? Does the bond force Edgin to share Xenk's nightmares, and discover the true depths of his trauma? Do they end up having mindblowing telepathic sex?
  • Hurt/comfort, where Xenk can't use his healing for whatever reason. Either one as the hurt party, with the other one looking after them, burning with worry, the pining only getting worse as they give them reassuring touches, or even hold them close...
  • One of them gets captured and the other (plus the party?) has to break in or go undercover to rescue them. Maybe the intense danger of the rescue results in the blurting out of feelings, or maybe comfort in the aftermath of that imprisonment leads to them opening up.
  • Or some soft fluff of them as a couple, adventuring across Faerun or at the cottage in Targos. The quiet daily moments in between the dramatic action: cooking together, eating together, bathing in a lake, sparring or combat practice, cuddling up at night. What about their hobbies: Edgin writing songs, Xenk reading books, maybe Xenk can draw? Maybe with a side order of Xenk becoming Kira's stepfather?
  • Maybe they confess their feelings - and then don't have a sex for a while, because Xenk's angst means he's not ready for it. Edgin's happy to wait, and there's lots of kissing and a growing emotional intimacy, before he finally deflowers a nervous but excited Xenk with some gentle and tender sex.
  • Or maybe they've both been longing so much, driven mad by all the torture of those little touches, that when they discover they're in love with each other they're both desperate to fuck.
  • Xenk has found a powerful artifact he can use against the Red Wizards. But he needs Edgin's help, because the only way he can attune to it/disable the spell guarding it is via sex magic. (Whether they're an established couple or they haven't gotten together yet.)
  • Maybe Xenk gets hit by sex pollen and Edgin has to take his virginity to save him. Maybe Edgin is the one affected, and Xenk offers because he's sworn to help others (and because it's an excuse to give in to his pining). Maybe they both get sex pollened, and they have a frantic fuck with accidental declarations of feelings - or they confess nothing during, and talk afterwards when they can think straight again.
  • If you wanted to do dom/sub, I'm fine whichever way you assign the roles. Maybe Edgin's a soft dom who just wants to encourage and praise his sub while he piles on the pleasure; sub Xenk could be kinking on dutifully obeying, or maybe he wants to escape the stresses of being a noble paladin and let Edgin take the reins. Maybe Xenk is a strict dom who wants to whip Edgin into line, or a soft dom who wants to draw out Edgin's inner goodness; maybe Edgin's a bit of a bratty sub, or maybe he's secretly desperate to please and lives for praise.
  • For omegaverse, I enjoy both alpha Edgin/omega Xenk and alpha Xenk/omega Edgin. Maybe Xenk's been suppressing his heats for a century and now, oh dear, he's going into heat and it's a big one, so Edgin volunteers to knot him. Maybe they're trapped somewhere and Xenk goes into heat and begs Edgin not to take advantage, and Edgin has to resist. Or omega Edgin goes into heat before confessing his feelings and alpha Xenk nobly resists his advances because he thinks it's just the heat talking. (But perhaps Edgin convinces him eventually!)




Simon Aumar/Doric

I love how soft Simon gets around Doric and I'd love to see her showing a softer side to him in return. (I do love Doric's spikiness though.) And I love that over the course of the film, she was very interested every time Simon's competency was shown or discussed - she was always into him, she just had this one dealbreaker, and then he fixed it! (Well, maybe he didn't entirely fix it: I love Simon having more confidence, but it might be nice to see him struggle a little - with Doric encouraging him, now she's convinced of his capability.) Does Doric have a competency kink?

Both of them have angsty pasts: Doric as a tiefling rejected by her parents, who's visibly an outsider wherever she goes; Simon as a sorcerer trying to live up to his family's long legacy of wizardry. Plus, as a half-elf, wherever he was raised, he was probably too human for the elves and too elven for the humans. As they get to know each other better, it'd be great to see them open up to each other about these things.

Maybe their courting is awkward at first, possibly hampered by Simon's tendency to break things or fall over, but I absolutely believe they're a good match and would love to see a happy relationship grow between them.

I tend to imagine Simon is a virgin, due to all his awkwardness at romance, and considering how disliked tieflings are Doric might be one too. But maybe she has some experience, and confidently reassures a nervous Simon.

  • Simon seems to be homeless when Edgin and Holga find him in Triboar. Does he move in with Doric? Is it strange for him, being a half-elf among elves instead of among humans? Is Doric nervous and unsettled about taking this step in their relationship? Or maybe it's comfortable and easy - or they decide to go adventuring (with the party?) and the road becomes their home. Would love some domestic fluff for them too, as they navigate daily life and find happiness together.
  • They both have family angst; maybe that comes to the fore when Simon runs into his wizard father, or has to work with a cousin - or asks Doric to attend a family reunion with him. I imagine he's not just a descendant of Elminster Aumar, but the sole sorcerer in a whole family of wizards. Does seeing the origins of Simon's lack of confidence help Doric understand (and support) him better? Does it help her open up about her own past more? Would love to see them bond over the experience and have some quiet, tender moments.
  • Maybe a "five times"-type fic of their dates going hilariously wrong... or very right.
  • Going undercover as a married couple not only forces them to rely on each other to keep up their story and acquire the artifact/info/thing they came to get, but gets them thinking about the next stage in their relationship.
  • Simon's wild magic spectacularly misfires and now they've swapped bodies/developed a telepathic soulbond/can't be more than five feet from each other without causing pain. Doric had barely settled into their tentative relationship, and this unexpected intimacy makes her feel very vulnerable - but despite his awkwardness, Simon is still soft and kind with her.
  • Considering Doric's connection to nature, maybe them appreciating the natural world together? Doric introducing Simon to the wonders of Faerun, telling him the names of plants and which bird makes which call? Gazing at the stars, finding a beautiful hidden waterfall, marvelling at the spring flowers, strolling through autumn leaves? Maybe a sequence, with each scene showing one of the four seasons? Or maybe just them having some slightly risky public sex, fucking against a tree?
  • Exploring and discovering each other's bodies and how different they are. Does Simon unsubtly start trying to steal Doric's tiefling warmth when it's cold? Does her tail communicate her feelings? Are her horns sensitive? They both have pointed ears - do the tips wiggle when they're embarrassed, or aroused, or orgasming?
  • If you wanted to do dom/sub, I'm fine whichever way you assign the roles. Maybe Doric takes the lead because she loves to give Simon the pleasure he feels awkward about asking for, or because she enjoys the power; sub Simon might feel safe with someone else in charge, or have a praise kink and love the encouragement when he obeys. Maybe Simon is an awkward, nervous dom who's worried he's not dominant enough (or that even a bit of dominance is too much) and Doric is enthusiastically encouraging him.
  • For omegaverse, I imagine Simon as an omega and Doric as either an alpha or some rare fourth designation. Maybe Simon's worried about the intimacy of sharing his heat and Doric is reassuring and practical. Maybe Simon goes into heat before they've had sex for the first time and Doric's concerned about taking his virginity like that. Maybe Doric goes into rut and Simon's nervous but excited about the way she comes onto him.




Nicholas Devereaux/Mia Thermopolis

This is such a great example of enemies to lovers. I love that they're kind and flirty at their first meeting, because they're immediately attracted to each other, and that even once they're enemies they can't hide that sexual tension. But their enmity is based on both seeking something only one of them can have rather than ideological differences: Nicholas seems more motivated by whether Mia's going to be a good queen and whether she really knows Genovia (and by his uncle's influence), and not a personal hunger for power. So once he's convinced of her capability (and she of his sincerity) and he gives up his claim to the crown, there's no question about whether they'd be able to find common ground.

I love both the push-and-pull of Nicholas flirting and Mia trying to resist (in the closet, by the fountain, the deleted scene in the kitchen) as well as them being soft and friendly with each other: Nicholas supporting Mia by helping with her archery, hesitantly reaching out to her in the stable after the incident with the fake snake... and the night they spend together before her wedding where we see them opening up emotionally, dancing close, and falling asleep in each other's arms. So I'd love a post-canon continuation of that as their relationship develops, or is fully established, or a missing scene while Nicholas is still living at the palace and they keep running into each other. Or maybe an AU?

I liked Andrew as a character so no bashing of him please, and it's fine to have Mia/Andrew's unromantic engagement happening in the background or to show them amicably breaking up. Also happy for Clarisse/Joe to be in the background, or for Lilly to visit again. Or cute appearances by Fat Louie the cat or Maurice the dog!

  • A collection of fluffy moments, maybe a Five Times structure? Nicholas cooking for Mia, Mia's clumsiness causing minor chaos and Nicholas calmly dealing with it, quiet moments alone when the staff aren't around, lazy mornings before the pressures of the day kick in... Any cute, soft theme you like!
  • Dealing with the press or public officials now that Mia's queen. Maybe after the scandal of Mia's broken engagement and being caught sleeping in Nicholas's arms the press are even more interested in all the gossip - and the two of them have to rely on each other during a series of intense "look, we're engaged" press events.
  • Or maybe something fluffier and more humourous, with Nicholas subtly helping to support Mia at an event. Another slightly odd and inexplicably pear-based Genovian tradition? How does Genovia celebrate Christmas? What about a visit from the leader of another tiny European country? Maybe presenting a united front against Nicholas's uncle, who's trying to cause trouble for them - and Mia helping Nicholas deal with feeling betrayed?
  • Presumably they're going to need children to be heirs to the crown, so anything to do with that. Soft fluffy moments during pregnancy as they look forward to their first child - or hurt/comfort where Mia has morning sickness and Nicholas looks after her. The joys of raising their kids together: maybe Nicholas using his skill for accents to read a bedtime story while Mia's heart melts? Or maybe some breeding kink smut, as they prepare to make that baby.
  • Or is Nicholas worried that he won't be a good father? After all, his own father died when he was six, and his uncle talks about his mother in the past tense - is he an orphan? Was Nicholas raised by his uncle? Mabrey does call him "my boy", and they spend a lot of time together. And yet his uncle had no qualms about setting him up to catch Mia on camera, even though he knew Nicholas was in love with her. Nicholas is clearly softer and kinder than his uncle - even after telling Mia he loathes her, he checks she's okay multiple times as she climbs out of the fountain - but maybe he doesn't see that in himself? So perhaps some hurt/comfort, with Mia reassuring him he will be a good father? Or, on the same theme, hints of angst as he pines for her during missing scenes, thinking she could never really love someone like him?
  • Or some hurt/comfort for Mia! She's so accident prone, an injury could easily happen. Maybe she hurts her ankle playing badminton again, only this time she's not playing it up - and Nicholas being gentle with her makes her heart flutter in a way that's definitely not pretend. (Maybe he picks her up and carries her in his arms? We know he's strong enough to lift her!) Or another injury, just something where he has to give her soft comfort. Maybe it happens during an important event that she can't miss - so he has to stick close to her, physically supporting her while she tries to carry on. And Nicholas helps to hide her injury from everyone else, picking up as much slack as he can to appease the guests even as he worries about her.
  • I'd be interested to see how these two and their dynamic play out in other settings: steampunk AU, fairy tale AU, daemon AU, Hogwarts AU? Regency AU, where the scandal with Nicholas almost ruins her? Or Mia can't convince parliament to change the law and Nicholas has to marry her right then so she can keep the crown? Fantasy AU where they're both competing to be the next leader of a dragonrider battalion? Or a genderswap: how does the plot change if Nicholas is Nicola, and also needs to marry to get the crown?
  • Or how would events unfold with an injection of some cracky tropeyness? Maybe Mia and Nicholas are accidentally soulbonded together and can't be more than five feet apart without it causing pain? Or they develop a telepathic link, and Nicholas can flirt with Mia 24 hours a day - at the risk of revealing all his doubts? Or Nicholas gets turned into a dog and Mia has to try and change him back before anyone - especially his uncle - realises what's happened? Or they get bodyswapped, and have to make a pact not to entirely fuck up each other's lives?
  • Mia said she's never been in love before, so is she a virgin? Would love to see experienced Nicholas slowly and gently taking her virginity - and being surprised himself at how intense and intimate sex is with a partner he loves. Do they have a short engagement and wait until their wedding night? Or do they decide to take that step before then, once they feel secure in their feelings and trust?
  • Maybe Mia's rule continues into the bedroom and she enthusiastically, if somewhat awkwardly, doms a happily submissive Nicholas. Or maybe at the end of the day she wants to relax and let him take control, so he doms her instead. Kneeling, collaring, bondage, pegging and swearing of fealty all very welcome. (Or maybe discipline or painplay? I'll be honest: when Nicholas said "you can step on my foot anytime", my brain heard "hurt me, mistress", so...)
  • Omega Mia goes into heat. Maybe they get trapped in a closet, pre-relationship, and the air's full of scent and tension - but alpha Nicholas never crosses the line, and just gently comforts her instead of taking advantage. (Maybe, against her better judgement, she lets him hold her close so she can smell his calming alpha scent.) Or maybe some enthusiastic mating and knotting once they're an established couple.




James T. Kirk/Christopher Pike

I love that Pike was the first one to believe in Kirk - and the one who got Kirk to believe in himself. He finds this young guy losing a bar fight and tells him he can do more, be better, live up to not only his potential but his father's legacy. And Kirk hears that challenge and says no, I'll do even better than that.

But there's a tension between them: Pike encourages Kirk's out-of-the-box thinking and urge for heroics, but also expects him to follow the rules (or at least know which rules to break and when). Kirk wants that approval, wants to excel, but he's used to rebellion and reckless behaviour and is willing to risk more than other people are comfortable with. There's this push and pull where they're trying to find where the line should fall, and maybe that could play into how they are as a couple: not quite sure if their relationship is appropriate or it's going too far, if it's going to make Kirk a better man or screw him up more.

As a captain, Pike seems kind and steady but also willing to make unconventional choices, and he gives Kirk a chance to speak even when he's just stowed away on his ship. Kirk respects him and wants his respect in return but also chafes against the hierarchy of Starfleet. I'd love to see their relationship blossom into more, with Pike being encouraging but maybe also conflicted, and Kirk finding a sense of safety even as he's unsettled by commitment. Or maybe they have to rely on their platonic relationship to get them through a sexual encounter caused by sex pollen or alien demands or an omegaverse heat.

Not looking for daddy kink here but Kirk's daddy issues are welcome. He obviously has some trauma with regards to his father (and presumably his abusive stepfather) and that's part of why he is the way he is. But with everything that happens in space, they probably both have some trauma due to the terrible things they've seen, maybe even PTSD, and that could play into some hurt/comfort.

If you set this during or after Into Darkness please go AU and have Pike live! (No preference for whether you call them Jim/Christopher or Kirk/Pike, use what you prefer.)

  • An AU where Kirk becomes Pike's first officer, either as canon divergence partway through Into Darkness or for some other reason. I liked the brief bits we saw of them working together in the first film, with Pike listening to Kirk's warning and then taking him off in the shuttle, and Kirk later rescuing Pike. I'd love to see them get to spend more time travelling the universe as direct leader and subordinate, and how their relationship could develop - first professionally, and then romantically. Is there mutual pining, with Pike feeling guilty about the age difference and the potential abuse of power, and Kirk worrying that Pike will never see him that way? Or do they just naturally slide into it? This could be a good opportunity for some hurt/comfort, dramatic action where they protect each other, and/or them showing their respect for each other's intellectual capabilities as they work together on a plan or a diplomatic mission.
  • Or an AU where Into Darkness never happens and Pike's still around when Kirk is an older, wiser, struggling-with-ennui captain. Does Kirk go to Pike for advice? Do they begin to feel more like equals as Kirk rises up the ranks? Maybe Pike stops thinking of Kirk as too young and starts thinking of himself as too old, and Kirk has to show that his respect for him has only grown. Maybe another meeting in a bar results in a mutual agreement to spend one night together. Maybe a new danger sends Admiral Pike back into space with Kirk, and one of them being injured or having a close call with death results in an admission of feelings?
  • Kirk somehow time travels back and meets a Pike that's his own age - or maybe a bit younger. They have to work together to prevent some alien plot and/or get Kirk back to his own time, and feelings develop between them. Does Kirk have to hide who he really is, and listen to an oblivious Pike talking about his dissertation? Or does he explain, and then have to deal with everything young Pike projects onto him? It's not clear exactly how old Pike is, so maybe the timeline means that Kirk actually arrives before USS Kelvin is destroyed - and maybe while he's in the past he ropes Pike into preventing it from happening?
  • Due to sex pollen/omega Kirk going into heat/being captured by aliens who demand they perform some kind of sex ritual, Pike and Kirk have to fuck. Maybe Pike tries to be kind and gentle and protect Kirk through the process, but maybe he also feels guilty about finding pleasure in it. Maybe Kirk thinks he'll be fine because he's slept around so much, but maybe the experience is unsettlingly intimate. Afterwards, maybe they go back to a professional relationship, or maybe having sex stirs up some unexpected feelings and they become a couple - or mutually pine for a romantic relationship.
  • BDSM AU, either where everyone is innately a dom or sub, or where Starfleet is a D/s hierarchy. Pike takes Kirk on as a sub, at the academy or while serving together on a ship, as part of guiding this rebellious young man towards being a good officer in his own right. Maybe Kirk chafes against the rules of a BDSM world as much as the rules of Starfleet, but secretly longs to be made to submit and enjoys the physical aspects of their arrangement. Maybe Pike tries to stay professional and detached, but can't help becoming emotionally involved - and feeling guilty about it.




Pavel Chekov/James T. Kirk

Chekov is so fucking adorable. I love his earnest enthusiasm, his innocence, and his extreme competency despite his age - and how that fits with Kirk, who's older, more traumatised, and chafes against the rules, but strives to protect his crew. They work so well together, and I really enjoyed how much of Beyond was just the two of them out in the wilds, with a slightly more mature Chekov showing he can handle himself in the field.

Would love to see them as a couple, with Kirk's captainly urges to keep people safe translating into him being soft and tender. Does Chekov's enthusiasm carry over into an excitement to share new experiences, from dates in interesting places, to exploring new sexual possibilities with Kirk? Does Kirk initially try to hide his trauma from his younger partner? Or do they spend ages mutually pining, with both thinking the age gap means the other would never be interested? What finally gets them to confess - a bad injury, dubcon sex, or simply an inability to hold it in any more?

If they're having sex due to a dubcon scenario (e.g. sex pollen, omegaverse heat) you can set it any time after Chekov turns 18, but if they're in a romantic relationship please set it during or after Beyond, i.e. when Chekov is 22 or older.

(No preference for whether you call them Jim/Pavel or Kirk/Chekov, use what you prefer.)

  • An away mission goes wrong and Chekov is injured, but they can't contact the ship. Kirk has to look after him until they can get him to safety, and the vulnerable moments stir up feelings for them both.
  • Or Kirk is the one injured and Chekov has to talk him down when he tries to power through. Or maybe there's no option but to carry on, so Chekov gently worries and does what he can - until Kirk collapses.
  • They get captured by baddies and Chekov can only watch as Kirk is tortured, and then gently comforts him once it's over. But maybe Kirk is trying to ignore his own pain and make sure Chekov isn't traumatised by the experience.
  • On a diplomatic mission, the aliens somehow only have one bed for the two of them to share. They can totally be professional about this... Except the planet also gets really cold at night.
  • Or the bed is fine and they get great sleep - until Kirk has a nightmare.
  • Is Chekov a virgin? He was such a young cadet that his fellow students probably thought of him as a kid, and that's hard to shake off even now he's an adult because he's still the youngest member of the crew. Maybe Kirk is his first real relationship... and maybe he's Kirk's first real relationship too, as the guy seems to aim for casual. Would love to see Kirk putting that sexual experience to good use when he tenderly takes Chekov's virginity - and is maybe a bit overwhelmed himself at the difference feelings make.
  • They're stuck on a planet together with no way to beam off, and they get exposed to sex pollen/dragged into ritual sex to appease the aliens/trapped by some forgotten tech that won't let them go until they fuck. Maybe Chekov is nervous or maybe he's trying to be professional about it, and Kirk is gentle as he guides him through it.
  • Or they get exposed to something that means omega Chekov's suppressants stop working, and now he's going into heat. Do Starfleet regulations allow Chekov to request help from alpha Kirk? Or maybe they frown on it - but when Chekov asks him, Kirk's not going to let him suffer alone. (Or maybe Kirk is the omega, and Chekov is the inexperienced alpha worried he's going to knot him by mistake.)
