Fic in a Box 2025
Thank you for creating something for me! My username is
forsworn. I requested various kinds of fic, art, fanvids, and AO3-based interactive fiction, in ten fandoms. Treats are welcome!
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. Equally happy to receive one large gift or multiple smaller ones.
I've separated the prompts into three categories: narrative prompts, visual prompts, and fanvid prompts. But feel free to draw a comic (or a single illustration) based on a narrative prompt, or write a fic based on a visual prompt, etc. Or pick something from my likes lists!

Simon Basset/Anthony Bridgerton
These two are both traumatised and both weighed down by duty in different ways - Simon, determined to keep the angry vow made to his terrible father, and Anthony, trying to shepherd the loving family he became head of far too young. Simon has a sharp tongue that rears up when he's hurting, but Anthony knows him better than almost anyone. Anthony might struggle with his forbidden feelings for Simon, but maybe as the eldest brother to seven younger siblings it's easy to slip into the role of protector. Considering the era, maybe there's a current of repressed sexual tension between them - or maybe they've already started a secret relationship. Could be during their Oxford days, when they're both rakes about town, or a no-wives AU, but I'd really like them to peel back their manly reserve to allow a little softness through.
Bunny/Alice Chambers
These two have such an interesting relationship: best friends living the high life together, but with the fucked up undercurrent of all the secrets Bunny is keeping. Alice is clever and determined, but relaxes most with Bunny - and when her suspicions grow it's not Jack she confides in, but her best friend. Bunny is charming and acerbic, drawing Alice away from the others as they gossip, but under that she's hiding the angst of all she's lost. To keep the illusion going, she must have lied to Alice so many times - but in the end Bunny is the one who warns Alice to flee.
I've always seen a frisson between them, laughing and drinking and partying together, and Alice jokes that Bunny playing tennis without spilling her cocktail is "quite possibly the sexiest thing I've ever seen" - what if it wasn't entirely a joke? I'm fine with them cheating on Jack and Dean, but I can also imagine their husbands giving them permission - after all, Victory is a male fantasy. But maybe Alice and Bunny find a way to reclaim their relationship for themselves? Could just be casual sex, but maybe it turns more serious, especially as the darkness of Victory rears its head. In many ways the two of them feel separate from the other wives, so maybe there'd be an intimacy and a trust there - or angst over Bunny's betrayal.
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 a missing scene, 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. Also happy for Alice/Jack and Frank/Shelley to be happening 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?)
Alice Chambers/Jack Chambers/Frank Carlson
Alice and Jack are so into each other, Jack hero worships Frank, Frank is manipulatively encouraging of Jack, and Alice and Frank have that intense rivalry with sexual undertones. The only question is how Frank would steer both of them into his bed at the same time - whether it happens at a party, at a meeting, during a quiet moment, or when everything almost falls apart. They'd be a great trio for some smut, whether vanilla or kinky, but maybe Frank - or all of them - want more than a one time deal. Could be a missing scene, canon divergence, or a setting change AU. And I'm fine with Frank cheating on Shelley or them having an open relationship - or it just being ambiguous/unmentioned.
Alice Chambers/Shelley
These two don't get to interact much, but in many ways Shelley is Frank's enforcer among the wives: keeping them in line as their ballet teacher, shutting Alice down at her dinner party, but also a smooth and sparkling figure guiding the mood at social events. I'm really interested in how that friction and power dynamic could play out if they got more focus.
Alice is clever and determined, even if she's out of her depth. Shelley is calm and controlled, with an edge of ruthlessness, but there's so much we don't know about her. Did she always know what Victory is? Maybe she even helped build it. Did Frank ever mess with her memory? What pushed her to take out Frank and wrest control - and what does she plan to do now? And how might Alice figure in those plans? Does Shelley think of Alice as a rival, an ally, even a scapegoat? Would Alice trust Shelley more than she trusted Frank - and should she? I just think Alice and Shelley could have a juicy, complicated, intense and/or fucked up relationship and I'd love to see it.
I'm fine with one or both of them cheating on their husbands, although I can also imagine Frank giving Shelley permission to use seduction to keep the wives in line. If you want to do smut, consensual or dubcon is welcome. Could be a missing scene or post-canon, or some kind of canon divergence AU, and I'm fine with both Jack and Frank's canon deaths here.
Jack Chambers/Frank Carlson
That scene where Frank calls Jack up on stage to give him a promotion and slip a ring on his finger, man. Symbolic much? And then Frank pushes him into dancing for everyone. I can definitely see Frank giving compliments, singling Jack out, telling him he's special, etc and using that to steer or even coerce him into sex. Jack probably has a bit of hero worship for Frank, so I think he'd be susceptible, regardless of his feelings for Alice.
You could do this as a missing scene or maybe an AU of some kind. Did something happen when Frank and Jack went outside after the dinner party? Or what about at Frank's house: Alice finds Jack in Frank's dressing room, a bit dishevelled and playing with a tie... Had they just been doing something? Or I'm sure there are many other opportunities for them to have had a secret liaison.
Due to the nature of the relationships in this canon, I'm fine with cheating and breakups here. Also happy for Alice/Jack and Frank/Shelley (or even Alice/Frank) to be happening in the background. I'm not looking for noncon, but consensual or dubcon is good: maybe Jack is fully on board with everything Frank's doing, or maybe Frank slowly manipulates him into it.
Paul Atreides/Duncan Idaho
I was sold on these two from that very first hug. Their power dynamic is complicated and intriguing: Duncan is older, stronger, a more skilled warrior, and Paul's combat tutor - but Paul is the heir to House Atreides and capable of using the Voice. And there seems such genuine affection between them. I love how Duncan teases Paul, but also calls him "my boy"... And this exchange: "Can I trust you with something?" "Always. You know that." Omfg. I am all about the trust, loyalty and duty here - on both sides.
I'm mainly looking for something set just before canon, or maybe early in the first film, once Duncan returns from the Fremen - before everything goes to shit on Arrakis. DNW underage, but Paul's age is ambiguous, so I will happily assume he's over 18 at this point. But as he's still young, and there don't seem to be any people his own age around Castle Caladan, I can see Paul still being a virgin. And I'm fine with Paul having had a crush on Duncan before he turned 18, but please don't have Duncan thinking of Paul that way before he's an adult. Other than that, feel free to delve into the age difference as much as you want!
Doric & Xenk Yendar
We don't really get any focused moments between these two in the film, but Doric actually seems like the least hostile to Xenk from the beginning - ironic considering her stance on humans started as "hateful and selfish" and "just can't help but lie"... but then Xenk and his ridiculous paladin goodness are so obviously the opposite of that! Now that she's decided humans are "okay", I'd love to see her and Xenk become true friends. They have similar outlooks and a lot of similar experiences, so I think they’d really understand each other in ways the others might not.
Doric/Xenk Yendar
We don't really get any focused moments between these two in the film, but Doric actually seems like the least hostile to Xenk from the beginning - ironic considering her stance on humans started as "hateful and selfish" and "just can't help but lie"... but then Xenk and his ridiculous paladin goodness are so obviously the opposite of that! If Xenk joined the party for further adventures, I like to imagine they'd become good friends, and then fall in love (maybe after mutually pining). Or maybe just gently looking after each other during a dubcon scenario.
I love Doric's combination of a sharp tongue with her moral integrity and intense environmental concern, and how that contrasts and blends with Xenk's stern intensity, his awkward ways, and his own intense sense of justice and goodness. They're both visibly outsiders in ways the others aren't, so maybe they would have a natural understanding - or they'd bond over the angst of losing their families because of it. And between their outsider status and Xenk's sense of duty, I tend to imagine they're both virgins.
(Please don't mention Simon and Doric breaking up. I'd rather you give them an open relationship, make it an AU where they were never into each other, or just ignore that ship altogether.)
Dralas/Xenk Yendar
For this ship, I'm fine with conflicted feelings that are never acted upon, hatesex, dubcon, or Dralas nonconning Xenk. Breakups are okay, as they are clearly not together at the time of the movie.
Their dialogue makes it clear that these two have a history, but what kind of history is that? Were they always enemies? We don't really get a sense of Dralas's past or how they met but, in contrast to the compassion and encouragement Xenk shows everyone else, Dralas is the one person that Xenk calls "loathsome"... Is Xenk conflicted about treating Dralas so negatively, or does he feel it's justified? Dralas seems almost teasing during their conversation. Does he enjoy getting a rise out of the stoic paladin?
Unlike the Red Wizards, Dralas bears the same mark on his forehead that Xenk does. Was he a victim of the Beckoning Death, like those "honourable men" Xenk saw turned into monsters? Trained as an assassin, with no memory of his mortal life? Or did he willingly submit to undeath, choosing to serve Szass Tam? Maybe he had been an assassin for years - or maybe he was a child at the time of the Beckoning Death, who survived the spell but was ripped from his family anyway, and brainwashed as they trained him to serve in the future? Maybe he was even Xenk's childhood friend! (Whichever you choose, I'd prefer child Xenk not to have met an adult Dralas, or vice versa.)
If you go for a post-film setting, it's fine to mention that Dralas survived being eaten by Themberchaud and that it wasn't pleasant, but I don't want any further details!
Edgin Darvis/Doric
While trying to recruit her, Edgin was definitely using all his charm (although not in a sexual way) but Doric seemed utterly immune to it. I loved the tender moment when Edgin was sitting on the rock on the beach: his little smile as she walked over, the way she gently patted his shoulder and he patted hers in return, and she smiled back. Maybe his charm would be more welcome now they have a genuine connection, or maybe she'd be the one to instigate it.
I love that Doric is so committed to doing good and looking after nature, but that she doesn't let the rules stand in her way. And she has a very sharp tongue, in contrast to Edgin's silver one. Edgin thinks of himself as a thief and a lawbreaker, and is maybe trying to pretend he doesn't enjoy doing good as much as he actually does. He uses humour and a charming mask to hide his pain, but Doric absolutely doesn't fall for it - even if she'll be soft when he finally lets himself be vulnerable. But is she prepared to be vulnerable in return? I'm happy for this to be either a romantic ship, or casual sex/FWB/Edgin gently looking after Doric in a dubcon scenario, especially if her tiefling status means she's still a virgin.
(Please don't mention Simon and Doric breaking up. I'd rather you give them an open relationship, make it an AU where they were never into each other, or just ignore that ship altogether.)
Edgin Darvis/Forge Fitzwilliam
I love that Forge genuinely cares about Edgin, wants good things for him, enjoys spending time with him... and yet will quite happily ruin Edgin's life if it enriches his own. And he doesn't see any contradiction in that! That's so deliciously complicated.
Meanwhile Edgin seems to have trusted Forge, not only enough to ask him to look after Kira, but to be surprised when Forge later reveals his betrayal at Korinn's Keep. All that time he had to think while spending two years in Revel's End, and Edgin never considered that the con man could have been a traitor? Is Forge that good? Is Edgin actually a bit naive? Or has Edgin always been suspicious of Forge - but thought that his own criminal talents were enough that he would spot any betrayal before it happened? And, as he didn't see it, obviously Forge hadn't betrayed him...
I'd love to see these two being flirty and charming together, whether during one of their schemes or while relaxing in a tavern. Feel free to have Forge manipulating Edgin, or Edgin not being sure if he's being manipulated or not. I'm happy with it being either a fun, angst-free ship before the betrayal, or unsettling yet hot - or Forge could noncon Edgin once he reveals his villainy. I usually assume Forge tops, but maybe he likes bottoming - or maybe the situation requires it.
Edgin Darvis & Holga Kilgore
I can't tell you how excited I was to see a canon male-female relationship that will explicitly only ever be platonic, and yet is vitally important to their lives. I love how they clearly care for and respect each other, despite being so different, and how they use their different skills to achieve their goals together.
I would be happy to see anything about the two of them, set at any point from when they first meet to after the events of the film. Fluff, angst, hurt/comfort... All of it. I just want to see them bantering, working together, protecting each other, being best friends and co-parents. I love seeing little hints of affection peeking through Holga's gruffness, and I love Edgin feeling secure enough to drop his cheerful mask. But I also love them being genuinely happy together.
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.
I'd love anything from an emotional get together to established relationship PWP. From angst full of pining or about the scars they both have, to gentle fluff with bantering or cuddles or domesticity, to deliciously indulgent tropeyness, there are so many different ways you could take this. If there's smut, happy for it to be vanilla or kinky, fully consensual or dubcon (sex pollen, fuck-or-die, bad guys made them do it, omegaverse heat, etc)
Edgin Darvis/Zia Darvis
I don't really have any headcanons for these two, so I'm open to a lot of different possibilities. Were they best friends who fell in love? Friends with benefits, maybe even deciding to lose their virginities together? Did Edgin woo Zia with his bardic skills? Or did she court him, and back then he was flustered rather than polished and charming?
You can set this at any point, from when they first got together, while they were dating, when they were married, when Zia was pregnant with Kira, to after Kira was born... I'd just like to see Edgin being happy, and to see more of Zia at all. She seemed so sweet and sensible! Show me them making sweet love, or a kinky fuck between two people who know and trust each other completely.
Edgin Darvis/Zia Darvis/Xenk Yendar
I really like the idea of Edgin getting to be happy with Zia but also with Xenk, and Zia and Xenk being happy together too. So... AU where she never dies? Maybe Edgin stays a Harper and ends up working with Xenk, and they get closer, resulting in Xenk being drawn into the established marriage?
Edgin seemed a lot softer before Zia's death - and maybe less prone to hiding his feelings - and Zia seemed very sweet and understanding, and I'd love to see what kind of dynamic they develop with kind but serious Xenk. Would love to see them being domestic in the cottage at Targos, all helping to raise Kira, or - as Edgin and Holga managed to take young Kira on the road - maybe all three of them could have glorious adventures together, making the world a better place?
Holga Kilgore & Xenk Yendar
Between Holga's natural gruffness, her quick labelling of Xenk as "no fun" and the short amount of screentime they spend together, we don't really get to see these two bonding. I'd love them to move towards friendship and a mutual appreciation of each other, even if Holga only demonstrates that affection through very small gestures. Maybe they’d bond over being the stern, stoic ones - or maybe it’s only once the cracks appear in Xenk’s unflappable paladin image that Holga begins to understand him. They’re both exiles from their families and cultures, so maybe that’s something they’d bond over too.
Kira Darvis & Xenk Yendar
I'm fine with this being either in the context of background Xenk/Edgin or just Xenk joining the party and becoming their friend. I want all the super soft platonic or familial feelings here, with maybe a bit of angst due to Kira's time with Forge.
How long does it take Kira to trust Xenk? How much of Edgin's hatred of Thayans did she pick up? Does her experience with Forge - a man she trusted because Edgin trusted him, who then turned on her - affect how willing she is to believe in Xenk's goodness, or in Edgin's declaration of Xenk's goodness? Does she no longer trust her own assessment of people? Does Xenk have to work hard to reassure her... or is his innate goodness so incredibly obvious that actually she trusts him quite quickly?
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 Aumar/Edgin Darvis
I love how Edgin is absolutely convinced of Simon's potential badassery (he has a mental list of all the times Simon's magic worked!) and how he's determined to make Simon believe it too - and this, for some reason, involves touching Simon's face a lot. Simon is awkward and sulky in the face of this, even though he's perfectly willing to trust Edgin and follow his lead in other areas - maybe Simon is pining, and can't let himself believe that Edgin cares about him, or is worried about opening his heart? Depending on the situation, maybe Edgin feels too weird about the age difference, and doesn't want to take advantage of Simon... until something pushes them together.
I enjoy this as a romantic ship, but also as FWB/casual sex, or charming Edgin gently looking after nervous Simon in a dubcon scenario - especially if Simon is a virgin, which I tend to assume is true considering how awkward he is. Could be post-canon, or a missing scene any time from Simon first joining Edgin's crew of thieves up to Korinn's Keep.
(Please don't mention Simon and Doric breaking up. I'd rather you give them an open relationship, make it an AU where they were never into each other, or just ignore that ship altogether.)
Simon Aumar & Kira Darvis
The party have such a great found family vibe, and I've always been interested in how that manifests between Simon and Kira specifically. It's not clear exactly how long Simon was with them before Korinn's Keep, but it could easily have been a couple of years, maybe more. I tend to imagine him filling a big brother type role for her; maybe she was even young enough that Simon's fail sorcery seemed impressive to her? Now they're reunited post-canon, she's a little older, maybe carrying some trauma but definitely still vulnerable - even if she tries to pretend otherwise. How has their dynamic changed with Simon's newfound confidence?
Simon Aumar & Xenk Yendar
In the film, Simon mostly seems to get on Xenk's nerves (being sarcastic! destroying the bridge!) but he's not doing it on purpose and I really think if they spent more time together they could become good friends. Despite his initial jealousy, Simon is eager for Xenk to stay at the end. But maybe Simon worries that Xenk doesn't like him, or doesn't respect him? And Xenk isn't great at social interaction, so he might not realise Simon feels that way, or might not know how to explain that he actually does care. Potentially some angst there, but I'd also love some fluff.
I imagine them both to be quite nerdy: Simon in a "likes to know a bit about everything" way, Xenk more specifically interested in history and puzzles. Maybe they could find common ground in geeking out about some artifact or old book they discover, or just having a good chat about some fascinating information. (I don't think anyone else in the party would be that interested, so they'd probably both be like finally! Someone who gets it!) Or they have to combine their knowledge in order to unlock a puzzle inside a dungeon?
Simon Aumar/Xenk Yendar
In the film, Simon mostly seems to get on Xenk's nerves (being sarcastic! destroying the bridge!) but he's not doing it on purpose and I really think if they spent more time together they could become good friends - and then fall in love. Despite his initial jealousy, Simon is eager for Xenk to stay at the end. Under his sarcasm, his awkwardness, and his occasional sulkiness, Simon is rather sweet and kinda adorable. And once you see past his stern manner and paladin morals, Xenk is kind and actually sorta awkward too.
I like the idea that they're both a bit dorky, deeply interested in niche subjects, in a way none of the others understand. But I think they could find some common ground. But maybe Simon worries that Xenk doesn't like him, or doesn't respect him? And Xenk isn't great at social interaction, so he might not realise Simon feels that way, or might not know how to explain that he actually does care. Potentially some angst there, but I'd also love some fluff - or some hurt/comfort, or smut. I can see them both as virgins (due to Simon's awkwardness and Xenk's duty/angst) and maybe worries about intimacy would result in mutual pining - or an intense experience during some dubcon, with Xenk gently trying to look after nervous Simon, even as Xenk himself is a bit overwhelmed.
(Please don't mention Simon and Doric breaking up. I'd rather you give them an open relationship, make it an AU where they were never into each other, or just ignore that ship altogether.)
Simon Aumar & Edgin Darvis & Kira Darvis & Doric & Holga Kilgore & Xenk Yendar
I love the found family that the party develop over the course of the film, and really want to see Kira and Xenk included in that as they all adventure together. I'm looking for banter, tender feelings, protectiveness, and/or the interplay between everyone's different personalities. Fluff, angst, action-adventure and hurt/comfort are all great!
Theodore "Laurie" Laurence/Amy March
I already knew these two were endgame, but this was the first version of Little Women I consumed and it's basically the Laurie/Amy truther version, and the ship completely grabbed me. I have so many feelings about their arc: little Amy pining for her big sister's best friend, lonely Laurie slotting right into their family like a brother even as he pines for Jo... then Laurie and Amy reuniting in Europe as adults, with all those childhood years giving them such a comfortable rapport. Only now Amy is a clear-eyed woman dealing with the difficult questions of marriage, and Laurie's struggling with his heartbreak.
I love their gentle, awkward, prickly edging towards open affection - and I love that Amy is so determined to be practical, but still being swayed by her feelings. She's seen the best of Laurie and refuses to let him be his worst - after all, if she can live with unrequited love, why can't he? And I love that she refuses to surrender to her own girlish crush and accept his first flimsy suggestion of feelings - forcing them both to assess what they really want, and to come to each other afresh, in a moment of genuine emotion and honesty. And despite the loss of Beth, they seem so happy together! Laurie practically glows as he talks about Amy.
I'm fine with past Laurie/Jo as long as it was never consummated (although I got the impression in this film, it was more like Laurie had an unrequited crush, or wasn't really sure what kind of love he was feeling?). But you don't have to mention that ship at all, if you don't want to.
Theodore "Laurie" Laurence & Amy March & Beth March & Jo March & Meg March
I love big families, with all the complex intertwined relationships that result, and I love how Laurie blended into that. The girls are all so different but so similar at the same time, and I love the contrasts and parallels between them - like how they all have a creative outlet, but in different spheres. And I had so many feelings about them drawing lonely orphan Laurie into that, turning him into almost a brother figure. The March household seemed so cosy, always so full of homely activity and love - even when they were arguing. I definitely got the impression Laurie was pining to be part of their family - and to stay part of it as they grew up. And who could blame him? All the fun of putting on plays, going ice skating, secret meetings in the attic, matching keys for a private letterbox, celebrating Christmas together... And all four sisters seem fond of Laurie - even shy Beth was happy for Laurie to hug an arm around her when they were preparing to send Marmee to nurse their father.
I'd like all five of them to at least have a small appearance in the work, but you don't have to feature them all equally. Laurie's unrequited crush on Jo and Amy's (currently) unrequited crush on Laurie are fine to include in the background, but please keep the focus on the sense of them as a group. And you're welcome to have Laurie's grandfather, Marmee, and/or Mr March appear as well!
Marjorie Bruce & Elizabeth de Burgh
I have so many feelings about the bond these two develop, and I love how much the narrative legitimises it. "You are Marjorie's and she is yours." Just omfg. Feel free to set your work any time from them first bonding, to Elizabeth looking after Marjorie while they're on the run/kept captive, being reunited, or as Marjorie grows up... Whether Elizabeth is playing with Marjorie, singing to her, comforting her, teaching her, whatever, I just love how much they love each other. Feel free to include Robert too!
Robert Bruce/Elizabeth de Burgh
I love the gentle, tender romance that develops between these two. Robert is clearly attracted to Elizabeth from the moment they meet, but out of respect for her autonomy or for his first wife, he refuses to claim his "marital rights". Elizabeth is resigned to her duty, striding into her new life despite the flicker of fear over physical intimacy - and when she discovers that sex is off the table, it gives her space to fall in love with him.
I love the quiet, sometimes awkward moments of daily life, encountering each other in corridors and repeatedly saying goodnight - as well as Elizabeth developing a strong bond with Marjorie. But I also love the bolder, more political moments, from the ceremonies to Elizabeth displaying her political nouse and swearing herself to him. They match each other on every level - ruling together, laughing together, supporting each other's needs, whether big or small - and their love is deep and genuine. I was so pleased that she was the one to invite him to bed, and that he waited for her without question, resulting in a tender and passionate consummation. And I love that - despite her being a determined, intelligent queen and him being a complex, canny leader capable of brutality - when they're laughing and kissing they feel more like awkward, earnest teenage lovers embarking on innocent first love. If you want to try and capture all those nuances, you're very welcome to - but I'd be happy with something that highlights just one aspect, whether fluffy or dramatic or smutty.
You're very welcome to include Marjorie, or their other historical children, as well as references to Robert's relationship with his first wife. Also, don't feel you need to be historically accurate at all - the film clearly isn't! If you do happen to know about the period, feel free to use that knowledge to expand on the film, though please don't change anything established by the movie. But you're also welcome to just make up details that "feel right".
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, 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!
Jaylah/Montgomery "Scotty" Scott
These two doing engineering together was so cute. I love that Jaylah seems both innocent and haunted, a badass fighter but with a talent for science - and Scotty is older and (supposedly) wiser, but he's instantly on the back foot even as he clearly forms a bond with her.
Show me how their relationship develops, as Jaylah gets to experience life in Starfleet and discover there's a whole universe out there. Maybe Scotty keeps his feelings secret, thinking he's too old or that he'd only hold her back, but their early shared interest means Jaylah feels closer to him than anyone else.
James T. Kirk/Leonard "Bones" McCoy
I love Bones and his sassy grumpiness, and how under that he clearly cares (though possibly he wishes he didn't). Kirk starts off rebellious and traumatised, but obviously has a keen mind and an urge to protect people. Really enjoy both Bones despairing at young, reckless, flirty Kirk, and the more tender moments once Kirk mellows into a slightly-more-responsible captain, like when they're sharing the booze that Bones stole from Chekov.
Do they mutually pine over each other in silence, with Bones maybe believing Kirk isn't even into men? Or does Kirk proposition him while they're still at the academy and they become friends with benefits? How long does it take them to admit they have feelings and they want more? Or maybe it's only after they're already on their five year mission when they start to see each other that way - does a dangerous situation push them to confess?
(No preference for whether you call them Jim/Bones or Kirk/McCoy, use what you prefer.)
James T. Kirk/Leonard "Bones" McCoy/Spock
Reckless but brilliant Kirk, logical yet emotional Spock, sharp-tongued but compassionate Bones... I love the interplay between these three: snarking yet supporting, frustrated yet protective, so loyal even when they disagree. Each side of the triangle has such a different way of interacting, and I'm interested in all of those as well as how they blend into a trio. Whether they're mutually pining before they get together, or they're a solid established triad, I'd love to see some smut or humour between them - or some vulnerability as they open up to each other.
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.)
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/Chris or Kirk/Pike, use what you prefer.)
James T. Kirk/Montgomery "Scotty" Scott
I love that Scotty is almost immediately loyal to Kirk, and that Kirk absolutely relies on him to get things done - even when Scotty's already resigned from his job. And Scotty might complain, but he'll still rush to help him. I love how Scotty swings between almost innocent cheerfulness that turns to grumpiness when he feels unappreciated, and the humorous possibilities of that with his charming, flirty, almost reckless captain. Kirk's a good leader, but he's got trauma lurking beneath the surface, and I think Scotty would be kind with that. And they're both brilliant in their own ways.
Franklin "FDR" Foster/Tuck Hansen
I love these two and the dynamic they have: working smoothly together, protecting each other in danger, happily declaring their love for each other, bantering, hanging out. They're deeply competitive but deeply loyal, though there's also a fragility to their friendship. They're such different people - smooth, flirty FDR who hides his angsty past, and earnest, romantic Tuck who's longing for love but doesn't know how to find it - but they have such an easy rapport and genuinely like each other. (Except when they don't.)
When do their declarations of platonic love turn to romantic ones - and do they even notice that change happening? Maybe they mutually pine for a while, or maybe they're already casually having sex before they realise they have romantic feelings - or the intimacy of a dubcon scenario pushes them to confess. Or show me what they're like as an established relationship! Fluff, smut, hurt/comfort or spy adventures all welcome.
Being spies, they're required to do some dark things - killing, lying, stealing - and that puts them in a bubble together, both because they can't share those secrets and because others might not understand if they did. The fact that they were both so relaxed about surveilling Lauren (and each other) suggests they're not on the same page as most people - but they are on the same page as each other. I'm fine with you acknowledging that, as a "they're fucked up in the same way, and therefore perfect together" type thing, but you're also free to ignore that thread and keep it light - this canon isn't a serious examination of what espionage does to the soul, it's a fun comedy.
Amaya/Asha
These two were so supportive of each other, and worked so well once they teamed up. You could definitely read some symbolism into Amaya becoming ruler and Asha becoming wishmaster - splitting Magnifico's old roles between them. But I loved the scene before Asha's interview, with Amaya calmly preparing and encouraging Asha, even gently holding her hands - and for all her quirky awkwardness, Asha seemed very comfortable with Amaya even then. And that hug she gives Amaya just before the crowd proclaims her queen! What kind of relationship is going to develop between them now, as they work together to make Rosas the best place it can be?
Amaya/Asha/Magnifico of Rosas
I thought the relationships between all three were so interesting, and I'd love to see Amaya and Magnifico fold Asha into their established marriage. Obviously there's a big age difference, so maybe they'd all be hesitant about the idea to begin with - but please either let some time elapse so Asha's 18, or make it an AU where she was 18 to begin with. But I loved Amaya's soft and supportive marriage to Magnifico, and how soft and supportive she was of Asha too. And Asha and Magnifico had such a connection during her interview (before it all went off the rails). How would they function as a three?
No irredeemably evil Magnifico for this ship, please - I'd like him to be a sympathetic antagonist (or even ally!) instead. Fluff, angst, hurt/comfort, adventures and smut all welcome.
Amaya/Magnifico of Rosas
I loved the soft relationship these two had. Calm, confident, practical Amaya organising things to smooth Magnifico's work, but also gently steering and comforting him when he's tempted by darkness. Focused, arrogant, brilliant Magnifico dazzling his subjects, but revealing a softer and more vulnerable side when alone with his wife, happily taking her advice.
Despite his downfall, I do believe he really loved her, so I'd prefer them to be happily together at the end of the work - even if things are complicated. I DNW breakups, so I don't want to see her abandon him because the book has turned him irreversibly evil. But Magnifico using the book and Amaya freeing him from its influence, resulting in an angsty situation with a penitent Magnifico, is totally fine. Also pre-canon angst or hurt/comfort, where their relationship is loving but the surrounding situation is more bittersweet. But I'd also love some fluff!
Asha/Magnifico of Rosas
I enjoyed this film, but it left me craving more of certain ideas. Mainly an apprentice Asha AU, Magnifico being softer - or Magnifico being even worse.
I kinda felt like they couldn't decide what Magnifico's motivation was. Like whether he was a purely evil villain powered by arrogance and a need for control, or whether he was a sympathetic antagonist crushed by the pressure of kingship and past trauma. I would love something that grabbed either idea with both hands and committed to it fully. Even if he's a misguided good guy that genuinely cares, feel free to make him arrogant and a bit manipulative - or to turn those traits to the max if he's evil.
Between Asha's interview and them duetting on what was basically a love song, I both shipped these two and really wanted to see them as mentor/apprentice. I love Asha's determination, her compassion, her righteousness, and her quirky goofiness - but if your work suits her being more serious, that's fine. Apprentice AU, canon plotline, or other canon divergence are all welcome.
Please either make this an AU where Asha is already 18, or have a time skip so she's an adult. And please either give Magnifico and Amaya an open relationship, or make it an AU where they were never a couple... Unless you're going with fully evil, corrupted by green magic Magnifico, in which case I'm fine with him cheating on Amaya and/or nonconning Asha. Otherwise, dubcon or consensual, please.
(If Magnifico's a sympathetic figure who turns to darkness, please leave the door open for redemption. But fully evil Magnifico doesn't need redemption - in fact, I'm fine with a Villain Wins AU.)
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. Equally happy to receive one large gift or multiple smaller ones.

- Eyestrain art
- Animated images
- This is technically already covered by the "sex while in animal form" DNW above, but to be specific about how it applies to art: no furry/anthro porn please. (But non-porn furry/anthro is welcome!)
Fanvid Likes
- Genres: I enjoy lots of different kinds of music - pop, dance, rap, country, trance, reggae, pop punk, indie, jazz, folk, ska... But I'm not into opera or metal growls/screams (though I do like symphonic metal). Happy to be introduced to new music or reminded of popular songs.
- Lyrics: I prefer music with lyrics, but they don't need to be in English. I'll have to google the lyrics anyway, so as long as there's a translation easily available, feel free to pick an appropriate song in any language.
- Swears and censoring: No uncensored n-word please. (Censored is fine.) Fuck, shit, etc can be censored or uncensored.
- Prompts: In some cases I've given song prompts, in others I don't have any songs to suggest. Equally happy for you to use a suggested song or pick your own. I've also given some "theme" prompts - again, happy for you to use one of those or think up your own. Basically I'd just be excited to see shippy/friendshippy clips of my blorbos set to music! Go with what you think works.
- Sources: If you want to, I'm happy for you to entirely recontextualise scenes, to use deleted scenes or outtakes, or clips from other sources featuring the same actors, or even to use clips from entirely unrelated things as scene setting/background/etc, whether you're constructing a new narrative in the canon verse or creating an AU.
Fanvid DNWs:
- Rapid cuts/shot changes (more than once per second)
- Flashing lights (e.g. lightning)

- Nightmares. Flashbacks. Crying. Staying with character B as they fall asleep.
- Impact bruises. Being manually choked. Twisted ankles.
- Stab wounds. Arrow wounds. Pulling the arrow out. Nosebleeds as fight injury. Grazes and abrasions.
- Magical torture, psychic torture, and other kinds of pain inflicted without harming the body.
- Bedside vigils. Holding injured character close. Carrying or supporting someone who can't walk. Character A catching character B as they collapse (even if character A isn't strong enough to hold them up and just helps slow their descent to the floor). Helping injured character undress, remove armour, etc.
- Seasickness. Morning sickness. "Oh no, that thing you just ate was poisoned." Vomiting in the context of hurt/comfort - the loss of control, the pain of throwing up, the vulnerability of being seen that way - whether due to nausea, induced by emetic, or induced by fingers (theirs or partner's). Not interested in the vomit itself, though fine to mention it looks/smells/tastes gross.
- Struggling through sex pollen/an omegaverse heat/etc without having sex, only giving non-sexual comfort for the symptoms.
- Premature ejaculation. Erectile dysfunction. Shame over sexual desires.
- 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.
- Acts: Anal sex, including het anal. Vaginal sex. Loss of virginity. First time bottoming. Pegging. Strap-ons. Deepthroating. Oral fingering. Kissing during sex. Breastplay (fondling, gently squeezing, kissing). Nippleplay (pinching, kissing, licking).
- Moods: Gentle sex. Tender sex. Fluffy sex. Hurt/comfort sex. Sex with lots of feelings. Vulnerability and trust.
- BDSM: Dom/sub. Bondage. Pinned down. Kneeling. Collaring. Praise kink. Orgasm delay/edging. BDSM AUs.
- Dubcon: Sex pollen. Fuck or die. Sex caused by magic or to perform magic. Pining during dubcon. (Whether they admit their feelings during, after, or not at all.) 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.
Simon Basset/Anthony Bridgerton
These two are both traumatised and both weighed down by duty in different ways - Simon, determined to keep the angry vow made to his terrible father, and Anthony, trying to shepherd the loving family he became head of far too young. Simon has a sharp tongue that rears up when he's hurting, but Anthony knows him better than almost anyone. Anthony might struggle with his forbidden feelings for Simon, but maybe as the eldest brother to seven younger siblings it's easy to slip into the role of protector. Considering the era, maybe there's a current of repressed sexual tension between them - or maybe they've already started a secret relationship. Could be during their Oxford days, when they're both rakes about town, or a no-wives AU, but I'd really like them to peel back their manly reserve to allow a little softness through.
Narrative Prompts
- Were they roommates at Oxford? Did they study together - and did those study sessions turn into something else? Or was it more late nights, getting drunk together, then waking up together?
- Angsty pining, both of them fearful of revealing their feelings in case the other doesn't reciprocate - or in case it has social consequences for them.
- Comfortable banter as they drink together, at their gentlemen's club or in private, just enjoying being with each other.
- Or banter that turns to bickering - maybe even turns to another fight, both of them thrumming with repressed longing for another kind of physical touch.
- A late night drinking session leads to their first kiss.
- While they're sharing a bed, one of them has a nightmare (about his father?), and the other one comforts him.
- Their sexual tension boils over into guilty frotting - and maybe neither of them mentions it afterwards. (Until it happens again?)
- Omega Simon tries to hide his status, ashamed of how his father rejected him, until he unexpectedly goes into heat and begs alpha Anthony for help. Or maybe it's omega Anthony who goes into heat, his usual insistence that being an omega has no impact on being a viscount faltering as he desperately urges alpha Simon to fuck him.
- Or maybe they're both alphas, wrestling for dominance as their scents clash, until one submits and the other knots him?
Visual Prompts
- Smiling or laughing as they drink together at their gentlemen's club.
- Sharing a room at university.
- One (un)buttoning the other's waistcoat.
- Holding each other close.
- Kissing in the privacy of a carriage.
- Dancing together in private.
- Boxing or fistfighting with each other... or wrestling on the floor, or pressing against a wall.
- Tending each other's wounds after a fistfight.
- One helping the other walk.
- One cuddling the other in bed, after a nightmare.
- Frotting while pressed against a wall.
- One of them riding the other's cock.
Fanvid Prompts
- Halsey ft Suga - Lilith
- Rosé - Messy
- Smiling, laughing and enjoying each other's company.
- Boxing, fistfighting and antagonism.
- Serious conversations.
- Having fun at their gentlemen's club.
Bunny/Alice Chambers
These two have such an interesting relationship: best friends living the high life together, but with the fucked up undercurrent of all the secrets Bunny is keeping. Alice is clever and determined, but relaxes most with Bunny - and when her suspicions grow it's not Jack she confides in, but her best friend. Bunny is charming and acerbic, drawing Alice away from the others as they gossip, but under that she's hiding the angst of all she's lost. To keep the illusion going, she must have lied to Alice so many times - but in the end Bunny is the one who warns Alice to flee.
I've always seen a frisson between them, laughing and drinking and partying together, and Alice jokes that Bunny playing tennis without spilling her cocktail is "quite possibly the sexiest thing I've ever seen" - what if it wasn't entirely a joke? I'm fine with them cheating on Jack and Dean, but I can also imagine their husbands giving them permission - after all, Victory is a male fantasy. But maybe Alice and Bunny find a way to reclaim their relationship for themselves? Could just be casual sex, but maybe it turns more serious, especially as the darkness of Victory rears its head. In many ways the two of them feel separate from the other wives, so maybe there'd be an intimacy and a trust there - or angst over Bunny's betrayal.
Narrative Prompts
- A party game of truth or dare, spin the bottle, or some teasing from their husbands, results in Bunny kissing Alice. But afterwards Alice can't forget the feeling of Bunny's lips against hers, or the fantasies of repeating it...
- Maybe before that night at Frank's celebration, there was another time Alice fell apart in front of Bunny, worried that she was hallucinating or going crazy. But without the revelation of a visit to headquarters, Bunny had less reason to reject her - and more to pull her in close, and whisper lies to reassure her.
- A session of trying on new dresses turns flirty, maybe resulting in their clothes coming off entirely.
- Sometimes Alice catches Bunny watching her children with such a sad expression on her face. Bunny never explains, but Alice has learned to hold her close.
- Nobody pays any attention if Alice and Bunny hold hands while lounging at the pool, or if Alice sits in Bunny's lap as they chat on the sofa. Physical affection between the wives of Victory is normal and encouraged - even if nobody else knows quite how deep it goes.
- After Alice returns from having her memory reset, Bunny watches closely to make sure her best friend isn't slipping again. She finds the best way to keep Alice from the truth is to distract her with kisses.
- Once Alice escaped she went to the police and now Victory has been shut down. She stumbles into Bunny, who's trying to adjust to life back in the real world - and deal with all she's lost. But Alice's attempts to comfort her old friend take an unexpected turn when they end up kissing...
- After a visit to the pool, they squeeze into the same booth to change out of their swimsuits.
- During a wild night of drinking, dancing and giggling, Alice and Bunny find themselves stumbling into bed together, and end up having a great time.
- Gossiping about their sex lives leads Bunny to show Alice the special new toy she's just got... and demonstrate how it works.
- Omega Alice goes into heat. But with Jack away at work, it's Bunny who steps in to soothe the pain - and satisfy Alice's 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 a missing scene, 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. Also happy for Alice/Jack and Frank/Shelley to be happening 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?)
Narrative Prompts
- Frank catches Alice alone at a party, and as they talk the tension rises until he's kissing her up against the wall. Maybe he lets her go after teasing her - but not before calling her a "good girl" again.
- 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.
- Alice hates Frank, hates the whole concept of Victory... but when he presses in close to her, she can't help but go weak at the knees.
- 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.

Alice Chambers/Jack Chambers/Frank Carlson
Alice and Jack are so into each other, Jack hero worships Frank, Frank is manipulatively encouraging of Jack, and Alice and Frank have that intense rivalry with sexual undertones. The only question is how Frank would steer both of them into his bed at the same time - whether it happens at a party, at a meeting, during a quiet moment, or when everything almost falls apart. They'd be a great trio for some smut, whether vanilla or kinky, but maybe Frank - or all of them - want more than a one time deal. Could be a missing scene, canon divergence, or a setting change AU. And I'm fine with Frank cheating on Shelley or them having an open relationship - or it just being ambiguous/unmentioned.
Narrative Prompts
- At a party, Frank showers Alice and Jack with attention - which only gets more intense.
- Frank knows Alice wouldn't cheat on Jack, and Jack wouldn't cheat on Alice. So he just propositions them both at the same time.
- Alice knows she shouldn't want Frank. She knows he's dangerous. She knows the desire in his eyes is dangerous too. It's only when she sees the looks between Frank and Jack, and the desire in the air between them, that she starts to understand how unavoidable that danger is.
- A game of spin the bottle, strip poker, or another sexy party game sparks a blaze that none of them can put out - even if they wanted to.
- 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, slowly draws them into the spider's web - and he's a man that demands everything from his followers, even that they share his bed. For their own good, of course.
- There's something so magnetic about Jack's new friend Frank. Alice can't work out what it is, and it's hard to question things when she's so much more tired than she used to be. The fact that she and Jack keep waking up with two strange marks on their necks is surely nothing to worry about...
- Alice and Jack are students at a sex magic school. Their partnership is going well, but headmaster Frank thinks they'd benefit from some extra lessons. Very hands-on extra lessons.
- Jack will give Frank whatever he wants. Even if it's a night with Alice. Even if it's a night with him too.
- Instead of just watching, Frank joined in when he discovered Alice and Jack fucking.
- A glitch in Victory's software has a sex pollen-like effect. And these three just happen to be in close proximity when it hits them all.
- Both men penetrate Alice at the same time.

Alice Chambers/Shelley
These two don't get to interact much, but in many ways Shelley is Frank's enforcer among the wives: keeping them in line as their ballet teacher, shutting Alice down at her dinner party, but also a smooth and sparkling figure guiding the mood at social events. I'm really interested in how that friction and power dynamic could play out if they got more focus.
Alice is clever and determined, even if she's out of her depth. Shelley is calm and controlled, with an edge of ruthlessness, but there's so much we don't know about her. Did she always know what Victory is? Maybe she even helped build it. Did Frank ever mess with her memory? What pushed her to take out Frank and wrest control - and what does she plan to do now? And how might Alice figure in those plans? Does Shelley think of Alice as a rival, an ally, even a scapegoat? Would Alice trust Shelley more than she trusted Frank - and should she? I just think Alice and Shelley could have a juicy, complicated, intense and/or fucked up relationship and I'd love to see it.
I'm fine with one or both of them cheating on their husbands, although I can also imagine Frank giving Shelley permission to use seduction to keep the wives in line. If you want to do smut, consensual or dubcon is welcome. Could be a missing scene or post-canon, or some kind of canon divergence AU, and I'm fine with both Jack and Frank's canon deaths here.
Narrative Prompts
- During one ballet lesson, Shelley pays particularly close attention to Alice - watching her intently, giving her sharp instructions, pressing in close to manually correct her form. And Alice can't ignore the way her heart beats faster. Maybe Shelley even ends up asking Alice to stay late, or invites her for a private lesson, so they can "practise" for a "solo performance"...
- At a party, Alice and Shelley end up dancing together or in deep conversation. And as Shelley presses close in the dark, the rest of the crowd fades away, and Alice discovers that Shelley's interest in her is even more intense than Frank's - and far more welcome.
- Instead of trying to escape, Alice goes for a final showdown with Frank - and finds an unexpected ally in Shelley. Between them, they manage to bring him down. Afterwards, maybe Shelley suggests a more personal alliance to protect their futures. Or maybe one of them was injured in the fight, and the other patches her up.
- Or maybe, that night at Frank's celebration, it's Shelley who finds Alice freaking out instead of Bunny. And Shelley's way of manipulating her into calming down is far more sensual.
- Or maybe Alice's suspicions about Victory led her to confide in Shelley before then, and they agreed to investigate together, and that trust bloomed into a secret relationship. But was Shelley actually on Alice's side?
- What happens between them after the film ends? Now that she's escaped, does Alice plan on revealing Victory's secret to the world? Maybe Shelley would want to stop her, in order to keep control of it, and a new cat-and-mouse game starts between them. Maybe Shelley's happy for the world to know what Frank did - and the new utopia she's offering. Would she make Alice an offer, asking her to support the new Victory, even to return as an honoured guest? And should Alice trust that offer?
- Maybe a post-canon meeting results in hate sex in the real world - or maybe a tense moment at a party turned into some frustrated, frenzied making out in the bathroom in a missing scene.
- Before they escalate to wiping Alice's mind again, Frank sends Shelley to manipulate her back into good behaviour. And if that involves some tantalising dubcon, well, Shelley won't complain. Not with a wife as pretty as Alice...
- The men of Victory are on a "business trip" when omega Alice goes into heat. As the highest ranking wife, it's Shelley's duty to see to Alice's needs - and the experience is far more intense than either one expected.

Jack Chambers/Frank Carlson
That scene where Frank calls Jack up on stage to give him a promotion and slip a ring on his finger, man. Symbolic much? And then Frank pushes him into dancing for everyone. I can definitely see Frank giving compliments, singling Jack out, telling him he's special, etc and using that to steer or even coerce him into sex. Jack probably has a bit of hero worship for Frank, so I think he'd be susceptible, regardless of his feelings for Alice.
You could do this as a missing scene or maybe an AU of some kind. Did something happen when Frank and Jack went outside after the dinner party? Or what about at Frank's house: Alice finds Jack in Frank's dressing room, a bit dishevelled and playing with a tie... Had they just been doing something? Or I'm sure there are many other opportunities for them to have had a secret liaison.
Due to the nature of the relationships in this canon, I'm fine with cheating and breakups here. Also happy for Alice/Jack and Frank/Shelley (or even Alice/Frank) to be happening in the background. I'm not looking for noncon, but consensual or dubcon is good: maybe Jack is fully on board with everything Frank's doing, or maybe Frank slowly manipulates him into it.
Narrative Prompts
- After Frank gives Jack the ring on stage, they have a private celebration away from prying eyes.
- It's the 1950s for real and life in the town of Victory is perfect. But being near Frank gives Jack feelings he can't name and feels deeply guilty about - but desperately wants to act on.
- A regency AU, where Jack is looking for a wife and Frank is a rake encouraging all his worst impulses. Maybe they're both members of the same gentlemen's club and a night of drinking and gambling ends with them doing inadvisable things in a dark corner - or with Jack getting into Frank's carriage, and them fucking in Frank's luxurious bed... or on the way there. Maybe Jack is courting Frank's ward Alice, and Frank wants Jack to prove how serious he is - by asking him to do a series of increasingly forbidden acts with Frank himself. Jack's no innocent, but Frank's determined to corrupt him utterly.
- When Jack hears about the personal development courses offered by Victory Mindset, he quickly accepts their teachings - but it's the irresistible pull of the founder Frank that convinces him to go all in. Even as "all in" starts to involve some really questionable things. Because Frank says it's all for the best and Frank is always right. Isn't he?
- Jack's an eager student at a college that teaches sex magic. He enjoys the work with his partner Alice - but when the headmaster Frank invites Jack for some private tutoring he doesn't even think about saying no... or stop to ask what kinds of spells they'll be casting.
- When he meets the charismatic Frank, with his hypnotic eyes and voice, Jack is quickly enthralled. Frank slowly draws Jack into his world, telling him he could be something special - until Frank reveals his secret... he's a vampire, and he wants Jack to join him.
- Maybe Frank tells Jack he knows a trick that sends women wild in bed - but the only way he can teach it is a private, hands-on lesson.
- 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's in charge, and that goes double for sex. Dom Frank pushes sub Jack in ways that leave him feeling unsettled - but really, really turned on.
- Considering his misogyny, would omega Jack resent his dynamic? Maybe during his heats he turns to Frank instead of Alice, because being an omega to a male alpha is more palatable to him. Or maybe he just wants a good knotting from an alpha cock in addition to what he gets from her.

Paul Atreides/Duncan Idaho
I was sold on these two from that very first hug. Their power dynamic is complicated and intriguing: Duncan is older, stronger, a more skilled warrior, and Paul's combat tutor - but Paul is the heir to House Atreides and capable of using the Voice. And there seems such genuine affection between them. I love how Duncan teases Paul, but also calls him "my boy"... And this exchange: "Can I trust you with something?" "Always. You know that." Omfg. I am all about the trust, loyalty and duty here - on both sides.
I'm mainly looking for something set just before canon, or maybe early in the first film, once Duncan returns from the Fremen - before everything goes to shit on Arrakis. DNW underage, but Paul's age is ambiguous, so I will happily assume he's over 18 at this point. But as he's still young, and there don't seem to be any people his own age around Castle Caladan, I can see Paul still being a virgin. And I'm fine with Paul having had a crush on Duncan before he turned 18, but please don't have Duncan thinking of Paul that way before he's an adult. Other than that, feel free to delve into the age difference as much as you want!
Narrative Prompts
- Paul may be the heir, but when they're sparring he's intensely aware of how much older and more skilled Duncan is than him - and Duncan makes sure to remind him.
- Some softer fluff, with fond teasing and little touches, on Caladan or on Arrakis.
- When Paul has a moment of intense worry or angst, Duncan pulls him into a hug - and Paul can't believe how safe he feels in his arms. Maybe he even has a nightmare while they're sharing a bed, and Duncan has to gently calm him down.
- Somewhere in space, Paul gets hit by kissing pollen. Duncan saving him by kissing him is the most natural course of action... but the kissing itself feels way more natural than either of them expected. And maybe both of them want to escalate the situation.
- Duncan's used to serving, but allowing Paul to practise the Voice on him forces Duncan to place his trust in the young man, and accept how vulnerable it makes him.
- Paul starts having dreams about Duncan - about Duncan's smile, Duncan's touch, Duncan's mouth on his. But they can't be prophetic. Because a man like Duncan would never be interested in him like that... would he?
- If you want to do an AU where Duncan somehow lives and/or Paul comes to his rescue and they escape together, I'm very down with that. Is Paul desperate to keep Duncan close after seeing the man nearly sacrifice his life - after realising Duncan would do that for him?
- Paul wants his first time to be with someone who has the experience - and the tenderness - to guide him through it.
- When Duncan unexpectedly calls him a "good boy" in bed, Paul isn't expecting how intensely his body reacts.
- Duncan is an alpha, with a scent as commanding as his presence in battle. When omega Paul goes into heat, he practically begs Duncan for his knot.
Visual Prompts
- Sparring and combat training, maybe pressed close as their blades shimmer against the shields, or maybe a defeated Paul on the floor with Duncan leaning over him.
- A warm hug, maybe with Duncan lifting Paul from the floor.

Doric & Xenk Yendar
We don't really get any focused moments between these two in the film, but Doric actually seems like the least hostile to Xenk from the beginning - ironic considering her stance on humans started as "hateful and selfish" and "just can't help but lie"... but then Xenk and his ridiculous paladin goodness are so obviously the opposite of that! Now that she's decided humans are "okay", I'd love to see her and Xenk become true friends. They have similar outlooks and a lot of similar experiences, so I think they’d really understand each other in ways the others might not.
Narrative Prompts
- Bonding over being very visibly from groups that are widely hated/mistrusted. Maybe they discuss why they choose not to hide it, and how difficult that can be sometimes. Maybe they talk about the families they lost, and how different their childhoods were.
- Xenk is one of the few people who actually enjoys how blunt Doric is, and Doric is pleased that he does.
- Doric in owlbear form is the only one strong enough to carry an injured/unconscious Xenk in full armour.
- Appreciating the wonders of nature together - the dawn chorus, a beautiful landscape, a starry sky, the first buds of spring, the leaves turning gold...
- It’s Doric’s turn to keep watch while everyone else sleeps by the campfire - then Xenk has a nightmare and wakes up visibly distressed. Doric gently calms him down and reassures him.
- Doric gets injured, and tries to remain stoic as Xenk heals her. Or Xenk gets injured, and can't heal himself - but Doric knows a natural remedy, and the plant grows in this area.
- Xenk gets downed during a fight and owlbear Doric has to protect him.
- They get snowed into a cabin, or trapped by a cave in, and have to huddle for warmth. Or they get captured and imprisoned, and cuddle in the cell for comfort. Maybe one of them is even injured?
Visual Prompts
- Xenk healing an injured Doric with magic, or Doric applying some herbs to an injured Xenk's wound.

Doric/Xenk Yendar
We don't really get any focused moments between these two in the film, but Doric actually seems like the least hostile to Xenk from the beginning - ironic considering her stance on humans started as "hateful and selfish" and "just can't help but lie"... but then Xenk and his ridiculous paladin goodness are so obviously the opposite of that! If Xenk joined the party for further adventures, I like to imagine they'd become good friends, and then fall in love (maybe after mutually pining). Or maybe just gently looking after each other during a dubcon scenario.
I love Doric's combination of a sharp tongue with her moral integrity and intense environmental concern, and how that contrasts and blends with Xenk's stern intensity, his awkward ways, and his own intense sense of justice and goodness. They're both visibly outsiders in ways the others aren't, so maybe they would have a natural understanding - or they'd bond over the angst of losing their families because of it. And between their outsider status and Xenk's sense of duty, I tend to imagine they're both virgins.
(Please don't mention Simon and Doric breaking up. I'd rather you give them an open relationship, make it an AU where they were never into each other, or just ignore that ship altogether.)
Narrative Prompts
- Doric gets injured and tries to remain stoic as Xenk heals her, even though he has to press his hands to her bare skin. Or Xenk gets injured, and can't heal himself - but Doric knows a natural remedy, and the plant grows in this area. Maybe the intimacy of the healing sparks a frisson between them, and results in a kiss.
- Or maybe Doric's injury results in her collapsing, and Xenk catches her before she hits the ground. And the way he's holding her close, looking at her with such concern, sets her heart pounding...
- Or their quest requires travelling by boat - and Xenk turns out to get really seasick. Doric sits with Xenk as he (tries not to) vomit, gently rubbing his back, softening her sharp tongue to comfort him - with her openness and his vulnerability resulting in some unexpected tenderness?
- A strange artifact accidentally creates a soulbond between them. Now they're stuck hearing each other's thoughts, feeling each other's feelings, and/or unable to move more than a few feet apart. Maybe they're mostly concerned with the practical aspects of continuing to adventure, as they search for a cure... but the forced proximity and unexpected intimacy brings them together. Maybe the spell means they'll get really sick if they don't have a certain amount of skin-to-skin contact every day... or if they don't have sex every day.
- Huddling for warmth in a cold cave, a snowed-in cabin, locked in a cell together, etc results in them kissing. Maybe Xenk is too repressed to do more, even though Doric's up for it. Maybe he'll agree to skin-to-skin contact, but only because tieflings have a naturally higher body temp. Or maybe Doric convinces him that some casual sex is the best way to keep warm, and they both have a great time.
- A quest requires two of the group to go undercover as a couple - and it needs Doric and Xenk's unique skills in particular. Is this a magical night at a ball (even a masquerade ball), where the enchanting mood sets feelings simmering? Or maybe they're sent to infiltrate a cult, and they have to rely on their trust in the dangerous situation. Do they get picked for one of the cult's rituals - which turns out to be ritual public sex? Maybe they try to fake their way through it, even as the intimate touches stir up real desire. Maybe they just decide to go for it, and gently help each other through some tender dubcon.
- While adventuring away from the others, they discover a magical grove that's slowly being corrupted. Both of them are eager to cleanse it, but then its guardians explain that the ritual magic would require the two of them to have sex.
- One or both of them gets hit by sex pollen, and there's nobody else around to help. Maybe Doric is practical and sees no reason not to have some fun together. Maybe Xenk is conflicted, wanting to help - or needing help himself - but reluctant to open up to her. But in the end he's too kind, or too desperate, to actually refuse it... even if he's a virgin.
- Omega Doric goes into heat and asks alpha Xenk to help her through it. Maybe he's a virgin and nervous about being so intimate - but he can't bear to see her suffering. Or maybe he doesn't trust her ability to consent, or neither of them is ready to lose their virginity, so Xenk just holds Doric close so she can inhale his alpha scent, offering gentle comfort till her heat subsides.

Dralas/Xenk Yendar
For this ship, I'm fine with conflicted feelings that are never acted upon, hatesex, dubcon, or Dralas nonconning Xenk. Breakups are okay, as they are clearly not together at the time of the movie.
Their dialogue makes it clear that these two have a history, but what kind of history is that? Were they always enemies? We don't really get a sense of Dralas's past or how they met but, in contrast to the compassion and encouragement Xenk shows everyone else, Dralas is the one person that Xenk calls "loathsome"... Is Xenk conflicted about treating Dralas so negatively, or does he feel it's justified? Dralas seems almost teasing during their conversation. Does he enjoy getting a rise out of the stoic paladin?
Unlike the Red Wizards, Dralas bears the same mark on his forehead that Xenk does. Was he a victim of the Beckoning Death, like those "honourable men" Xenk saw turned into monsters? Trained as an assassin, with no memory of his mortal life? Or did he willingly submit to undeath, choosing to serve Szass Tam? Maybe he had been an assassin for years - or maybe he was a child at the time of the Beckoning Death, who survived the spell but was ripped from his family anyway, and brainwashed as they trained him to serve in the future? Maybe he was even Xenk's childhood friend! (Whichever you choose, I'd prefer child Xenk not to have met an adult Dralas, or vice versa.)
If you go for a post-film setting, it's fine to mention that Dralas survived being eaten by Themberchaud and that it wasn't pleasant, but I don't want any further details!

- They first met when Szass Tam sent Dralas undercover to win Xenk's trust and then force undeath on him/capture him and take him back to Thay. But the more he got to know Xenk, the more complicated Dralas's loyalties became...
- Or maybe they were childhood friends and Xenk once had hope of freeing him from the curse of undeath. Maybe Dralas used that to play on Xenk's sympathies, trying to convince him he didn't really want to be a villain. Did Xenk give up on Dralas because he realised only a Tablet of Reawakening could free him, or because he realised Dralas had totally converted to Szass Tam's side?
- They're trapped in a dungeon or somewhere, and the only way for either of them to escape is to work together.
- Dralas tries to tempt Xenk to the dark side. He'd never give in, of course, but maybe Dralas makes it painful enough that he wishes he could - maybe through magical torture, or magic that fucks with his mind.
- Or Xenk needs some information from Dralas, and he casts a Zone of Truth before interrogating him.
- Another fight between them, but this time without weapons - resulting in a lot of grabbing, wrestling and straddling.
- Dralas captures Xenk and tenderly menaces him, the tension slowly rising.
- In the middle of a fight, they accidentally disturb something that releases sex pollen. Now they have to fuck or both of them will die, permanently.
- Dralas survived being eaten by Themberchaud and decides to get revenge by nonconning Xenk. Maybe the other assassins watch - or join in.
Visual Prompts
- Glaring at each other, up close, swords pressed into a parry.
- Xenk's forehead mark glowing as Dralas cups his cheek.
- Dralas on his knees, staring up at a stern but merciful Xenk.
- Xenk extending a hand glowing with holy magic to Dralas.
- Standing side by side, readying themselves to fight the mutual enemies surrounding them.
- Dralas whispering in the ear of a captive Xenk.
- Passionate hate sex.
- Dralas inserting the hilt of Xenk's sword into Xenk's ass.
- Xenk trying to remain stoic as Dralas pins him down and penetrates him.

- Fight scene.
- Harsh words.
- The mark of Szass Tam.
Edgin Darvis/Doric
While trying to recruit her, Edgin was definitely using all his charm (although not in a sexual way) but Doric seemed utterly immune to it. I loved the tender moment when Edgin was sitting on the rock on the beach: his little smile as she walked over, the way she gently patted his shoulder and he patted hers in return, and she smiled back. Maybe his charm would be more welcome now they have a genuine connection, or maybe she'd be the one to instigate it.
I love that Doric is so committed to doing good and looking after nature, but that she doesn't let the rules stand in her way. And she has a very sharp tongue, in contrast to Edgin's silver one. Edgin thinks of himself as a thief and a lawbreaker, and is maybe trying to pretend he doesn't enjoy doing good as much as he actually does. He uses humour and a charming mask to hide his pain, but Doric absolutely doesn't fall for it - even if she'll be soft when he finally lets himself be vulnerable. But is she prepared to be vulnerable in return? I'm happy for this to be either a romantic ship, or casual sex/FWB/Edgin gently looking after Doric in a dubcon scenario, especially if her tiefling status means she's still a virgin.
(Please don't mention Simon and Doric breaking up. I'd rather you give them an open relationship, make it an AU where they were never into each other, or just ignore that ship altogether.)
Narrative Prompts
- I'd love to see more soft moments like the one on the beach. Maybe Doric talks more about her family or about how people treat her as a tiefling, and Edgin patiently listens before reassuring her. Maybe Edgin has a nightmare about Zia while Doric's on watch in their camp, and she sits with him while he calms down. Just a gentle moment of vulnerability between them, where Edgin drops his mask - but maybe not his jokes.
- A strange artifact accidentally creates a soulbond between them. Now they're stuck hearing each other's thoughts, feeling each other's feelings, and/or unable to move more than a few feet apart. Maybe they banter about the difficulties as they search for a cure... but the forced proximity and unexpected intimacy brings them together. Maybe the spell means they'll get really sick if they don't have a certain amount of skin-to-skin contact every day... or if they don't have sex every day.
- Edgin gets injured, but luckily Doric knows of a herbal medicine that can help - and it grows nearby. Maybe the intimacy of treating him sparks a frisson between them, and she ends up giving him some sexual comfort too.
- A quest requires two of the group to go undercover as a couple - and it needs Doric and Edgin's unique skills in particular. Is this a magical night at a ball (even a masquerade ball), where the enchanting mood sets feelings simmering? Or maybe they're sent to infiltrate a cult, and they have to rely on their trust in the dangerous situation. Do they get picked for one of the cult's rituals - which turns out to be ritual public sex? Maybe they try to fake their way through it, even as the intimate touches stir up real desire. Maybe they just decide to go for it, and gently help each other through some tender dubcon.
- Huddling for warmth in a cold cave, a snowed-in cabin, locked in a cell together, etc turns into casual sex to keep warm.
- Doric wants to lose her virginity to someone she trusts, so she asks charming, experienced Edgin to do the deed. Maybe he's initially reluctant and she has to convince him she means it. Maybe Edgin is so well-endowed that she needs a lot of foreplay and he has to be very gentle about the whole thing. But they have a great night together and Doric is glad of the experience.
- One or both of them gets hit by sex pollen, maybe while they're trapped in a dungeon and there's nobody else around. Maybe Edgin tries to resist and Doric insists she doesn't have a problem with doing it - or maybe they'll die if they don't fuck, and they're gentle with each other as they rely on their friendship to get through it.
- Omega Doric goes into heat while there's nobody else around and begs alpha Edgin to ease her suffering. Maybe he's worried that it's just the heat talking and refuses to do more than hold her close and give her his scent, resisting anything more throughout the entire thing. Or maybe she convinces him that knotting her is the most practical option and they have an intense night with no regrets after.

- A comforting hug.

Edgin Darvis/Forge Fitzwilliam
I love that Forge genuinely cares about Edgin, wants good things for him, enjoys spending time with him... and yet will quite happily ruin Edgin's life if it enriches his own. And he doesn't see any contradiction in that! That's so deliciously complicated.
Meanwhile Edgin seems to have trusted Forge, not only enough to ask him to look after Kira, but to be surprised when Forge later reveals his betrayal at Korinn's Keep. All that time he had to think while spending two years in Revel's End, and Edgin never considered that the con man could have been a traitor? Is Forge that good? Is Edgin actually a bit naive? Or has Edgin always been suspicious of Forge - but thought that his own criminal talents were enough that he would spot any betrayal before it happened? And, as he didn't see it, obviously Forge hadn't betrayed him...
I'd love to see these two being flirty and charming together, whether during one of their schemes or while relaxing in a tavern. Feel free to have Forge manipulating Edgin, or Edgin not being sure if he's being manipulated or not. I'm happy with it being either a fun, angst-free ship before the betrayal, or unsettling yet hot - or Forge could noncon Edgin once he reveals his villainy. I usually assume Forge tops, but maybe he likes bottoming - or maybe the situation requires it.
Narrative Prompts
- One night at an inn, Edgin (or both of them) gets really drunk and they end up making out. Maybe they go to bed together, or maybe Edgin halts proceedings because he feels too guilty about Zia.
- They have some kind of friends-with-benefits situation. Maybe just to blow off some steam with someone convenient. Maybe Edgin's deeply missing Zia and needs to feel something else for a while. Maybe they genuinely like each other but they're too emotionally constipated to do more than fuck.
- Edgin has a sexy dream about Forge, maybe while he's stuck in Revel's End – whether or not he'd already noticed, or acted on, an attraction to the guy.
- They have to fake a relationship as part of some con. But they're both way too good at pretending, and the situation means their displays of affection have to keep escalating...
- They get bodyswapped. Maybe sex is the only way they can change back, or maybe they're both curious what it's like to fuck themselves.
- Forge is an omega and is really annoyed about it. The fact that Edgin's an alpha and gently helps him through his heats only makes him more annoyed.
- Or omega Edgin goes into heat and alpha Forge is happy to get laid. Whether Forge is considerate or is rougher than Edgin would like is up to you. Maybe he dubcons Edgin into accepting his knot.
- Edgin's secretly into consensual non-consent and Forge is the only person he's met who doesn't feel bad about the idea of fucking him while he begs him to stop.
- Instead of sending Edgin to the arena, Forge decides to have some fun with him - whether Edgin's willing or not.
Visual Prompts
- Drinking in a tavern together.
- Playing cards or a dice game against each other. (Possibly strip poker.)
- Forge appreciating Edgin's Harper outfit, pressing in close.
- Kissing in an alleyway, or while undercover - or surrounded by the loot they've just heisted.
- Dressed in his Lord of Neverwinter finery, Forge makes Edgin kneel.
- Forge delighted as Edgin's trapped by tentacles.
- Edgin riding Forge's cock.
- Forge pushing Edgin down into the mattress as he fucks him.
- Edgin tied to a bed as Forge leans over him.
Fanvid Prompts

Edgin Darvis & Holga Kilgore
I can't tell you how excited I was to see a canon male-female relationship that will explicitly only ever be platonic, and yet is vitally important to their lives. I love how they clearly care for and respect each other, despite being so different, and how they use their different skills to achieve their goals together.
I would be happy to see anything about the two of them, set at any point from when they first meet to after the events of the film. Fluff, angst, hurt/comfort... All of it. I just want to see them bantering, working together, protecting each other, being best friends and co-parents. I love seeing little hints of affection peeking through Holga's gruffness, and I love Edgin feeling secure enough to drop his cheerful mask. But I also love them being genuinely happy together.
Narrative Prompts
- Take pretty much any common trope that fandom does for romantic ships and shove these two into it, but make it aggressively platonic. They get hit with sex pollen but refuse to fuck! Telepathic soulbond but Edgin's only got a song stuck in his head! Fake relationship but Holga refuses to do more than hold hands! Omega Edgin goes into heat but alpha Holga's immune to his pheromones, and she protects him from all other alphas! etc. etc.
- Holga gets hurt and Edgin has to try and convince her to let him dress the wound. Maybe she initially tries to hide her injury. Or Edgin gets hurt or sick and Holga is his awkward caretaker, little bits of softness slipping through her usually gruff demeanour.
- "Not fortune found nor fate divine" seems to be Edgin's song of choice for cheering up Holga. Show me another time(s) when he sang it to her. Or maybe one where she sang it to him.
- Them raising Kira together, whether as a baby, a child or a teen. Teaching her to walk, teaching her to speak, teaching her life skills. Kira's milestones. Celebrating Kira's birthday. Did they ever disagree on how to parent her?
- Stuck in Revel's End together. Maybe Edgin tries to entertain Holga through the long boring days. Or it's even colder than normal and they have to cuddle for warmth. Maybe they angst together about missing Kira. Maybe Edgin braids Holga's hair for her.
- Or the other prisoners discover Edgin was a Harper and decide to punish him (with a beating or attempted noncon) and Holga has to rescue him, or prevents it from happening to begin with.

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.
I'd love anything from an emotional get together to established relationship PWP. From angst full of pining or about the scars they both have, to gentle fluff with bantering or cuddles or domesticity, to deliciously indulgent tropeyness, there are so many different ways you could take this. If there's smut, happy for it to be vanilla or kinky, fully consensual or dubcon (sex pollen, fuck-or-die, bad guys made them do it, omegaverse heat, etc)
Narrative Prompts
- 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?
- Xenk keeps finding more and more excuses to hold Edgin's hand, and Edgin is running out of reasons to refuse...
- 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...
- Or their quest requires travelling by boat - and Xenk turns out to get really seasick. Charming Edgin insists on staying with Xenk as he (tries not to) vomit, rubbing his back, maybe trying to distract him from the nausea - but under Edgin's bluff cheer, Xenk's unexpected vulnerability stirs a real edge of tenderness.
- A quest requires two of the group to go undercover as a couple - and it needs Xenk and Edgin's unique skills in particular. Is this a magical night at a ball (even a masquerade ball), where the enchanting mood sets feelings simmering? Or maybe they're sent to infiltrate a cult, and they have to rely on their trust in the dangerous situation. Do they get picked for one of the cult's rituals - which turns out to be ritual public sex? Maybe they try to fake their way through it, even as the intimate touches stir up real desire. Maybe they just decide to go for it, and gently help each other through some tender dubcon.
- 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!)

Edgin Darvis/Zia Darvis
I don't really have any headcanons for these two, so I'm open to a lot of different possibilities. Were they best friends who fell in love? Friends with benefits, maybe even deciding to lose their virginities together? Did Edgin woo Zia with his bardic skills? Or did she court him, and back then he was flustered rather than polished and charming?
You can set this at any point, from when they first got together, while they were dating, when they were married, when Zia was pregnant with Kira, to after Kira was born... I'd just like to see Edgin being happy, and to see more of Zia at all. She seemed so sweet and sensible! Show me them making sweet love, or a kinky fuck between two people who know and trust each other completely.
Narrative Prompts
- What was their first date like? Was it a fun, casual evening, a wonderfully romantic time, or maybe it went a little bit wrong - though they both still enjoyed themselves?
- What about their first kiss? Was it a magical moment after lots of pent up feelings? A quick peck that only meant a lot in hindsight? Or was it unexpectedly intense, and maybe convinced them they had something special?
- Edgin writes a song for Zia. Or maybe she has an obscure favourite song that hardly anyone plays, so he learns it for her. Maybe Zia even has a good voice, and they enjoy singing together in the evenings.
- Zia comforts an exhausted or traumatised Edgin after a tough day as a Harper.
- Edgin fusses over Zia while she's pregnant, whether it's fluff (she's fine!) or hurt/comfort (morning sickness maybe?).
- Zia tends a wounded Edgin. Maybe she's a herbalist, and knows how to make a poultice?
- What was their first time like? What about their wedding night?

Edgin Darvis/Zia Darvis/Xenk Yendar
I really like the idea of Edgin getting to be happy with Zia but also with Xenk, and Zia and Xenk being happy together too. So... AU where she never dies? Maybe Edgin stays a Harper and ends up working with Xenk, and they get closer, resulting in Xenk being drawn into the established marriage?
Edgin seemed a lot softer before Zia's death - and maybe less prone to hiding his feelings - and Zia seemed very sweet and understanding, and I'd love to see what kind of dynamic they develop with kind but serious Xenk. Would love to see them being domestic in the cottage at Targos, all helping to raise Kira, or - as Edgin and Holga managed to take young Kira on the road - maybe all three of them could have glorious adventures together, making the world a better place?
Narrative Prompts
- Zia decides to take Kira and go with Edgin to the market that night. They see the Red Wizards riding to their cottage and make an escape - but the Red Wizards are still after them, so they have to take refuge with the Harpers... where a Thayan paladin promises to protect them.
- Or maybe Edgin never stole the Red Wizards' treasure at all. He remains a Harper, and gets assigned to work with Xenk. And the more time they spend in the field, the closer they become. And Edgin keeps coming home to Zia with all these stories of amazing Xenk the paladin... and Zia is very amused and encouraging.
- Maybe Edgin and Xenk are sent undercover together? Even as a couple? And they both pine guiltily, because Edgin is married, but what they're doing feels so real and so right... (Maybe the setup means Edgin can visit Zia some nights? Or write letters? Or maybe the whole mess of feelings only comes out when he returns home, and Zia has to sort them out?)
- I will forever love hurt/comfort for getting together. Maybe Xenk is injured and Edgin has to take him home, resulting in Edgin and Zia nursing him back to health. Or Edgin is injured and Xenk takes him to the cottage, but stays so his healing magic can recharge - or Zia insists he stays, because Xenk is wounded too?
- Accidental soulbond! Maybe between all three, maybe just between Edgin and Xenk, maybe it starts as Edgin and Xenk but they manage to add Zia... But due to the effect of some magical artifact, they can now hear each other's thoughts/feel each other's feelings/can't move too far from each other/all of the above.
- I'd also love some established relationship domestic fluff, with them all living in the cottage at Targos, raising Kira together.
- Or, as Edgin and Holga managed to take young Kira on the road, maybe all three of them could have glorious adventures together, making the world a better place?
- Totally down with smut too! What's their first time as a three like? Do they find the mechanics of it difficult to arrange? Is there a lot of laughing as limbs get tangled? Maybe Xenk's a virgin and gets a bit overwhelmed, and Edgin and Zia have to be gentle with him. What's the sex like once they get used to it? Do they indulge in some double penetration? Or maybe one of the guys goes in the middle, both penetrating and penetrated? Do they have some kinky fun? Maybe one (or two) domming the other(s)? Three people means lots of possibilities!
Visual Prompts

- Laughter and smiles.
Holga Kilgore & Xenk Yendar
Between Holga's natural gruffness, her quick labelling of Xenk as "no fun" and the short amount of screentime they spend together, we don't really get to see these two bonding. I'd love them to move towards friendship and a mutual appreciation of each other, even if Holga only demonstrates that affection through very small gestures. Maybe they’d bond over being the stern, stoic ones - or maybe it’s only once the cracks appear in Xenk’s unflappable paladin image that Holga begins to understand him. They’re both exiles from their families and cultures, so maybe that’s something they’d bond over too.
Narrative Prompts
- Sparring together, working out together. Maybe Xenk tries to go easy on Holga and she baits him into giving everything he's got. Maybe Xenk is just pleased to have someone who can keep up with him.
- Holga shows Xenk how to have fun, or vice versa. Maybe they discover an activity they would never have appreciated on their own. Or maybe they're not convinced by it, but they learn to understand each other better. Or Xenk is grateful for the time spent together, but not the horrible hangover that results.
- Cleaning or looking after their weapons together. Maybe Xenk also appreciates the work of Ghelryn Foehammer. Maybe Xenk once saved Ghelryn Foehammer!
- Xenk asks Holga about the story behind her tattoos.
- Holga gets injured and Xenk has to convince her to let him heal her.
- Xenk teaches Holga some Thayan swear words. (Presumably more literal ones.)
- I’d love some forced proximity or forced intimacy tropes, done platonically. Magically handcuffed together, requiring them to respect each other’s different needs and approaches? Accidental soulbond reveals all their worries and insecurities to each other, resulting in some gentle understanding? Just something where they can’t escape each other, and initial frustration turns to a more vulnerable honesty.
- Omega Xenk goes into heat and alpha Holga looks after him. It’s not that they find each other repulsive, they just have zero urge to fuck - so Holga’s alpha scent comforts Xenk instead of arouses him. Maybe she curls a hand over the back of his neck to trigger an instinctive calming response; maybe Holga even puts aside her dislike of hugs to hold a panting and trembling Xenk close.
Visual Prompts
- Cooking food on a campfire.
- Sparring together.
- Maintaining their weapons together.

Kira Darvis & Xenk Yendar
I'm fine with this being either in the context of background Xenk/Edgin or just Xenk joining the party and becoming their friend. I want all the super soft platonic or familial feelings here, with maybe a bit of angst due to Kira's time with Forge.
How long does it take Kira to trust Xenk? How much of Edgin's hatred of Thayans did she pick up? Does her experience with Forge - a man she trusted because Edgin trusted him, who then turned on her - affect how willing she is to believe in Xenk's goodness, or in Edgin's declaration of Xenk's goodness? Does she no longer trust her own assessment of people? Does Xenk have to work hard to reassure her... or is his innate goodness so incredibly obvious that actually she trusts him quite quickly?
Narrative Prompts
- Playing a game where Kira turns invisible and Xenk has to use his super hearing to figure out where she is. Or a board game. Or a snowball fight!
- Xenk protects Kira during a battle when her invisibility fails - or when they get separated from the others during a quest, and have to overcome obstacles to reunite with the party.
- Kira receives a minor injury (something like a graze or a small cut, nothing big please!) and Xenk is very kind and gentle as he heals it for her.
- They get captured and imprisoned together. Xenk tries to keep Kira calm and safe while they wait for the others to rescue them, reassuring her, protecting her, finding ways to pass the time, keeping her warm...
- Or Xenk gets imprisoned, and Kira uses her necklace to sneak in and tell him the escape plan. Or deliver the key to his cell.
- Is Xenk concerned about Kira's moral compass, considering she was brought up among a gang of thieves? Does he try to influence her towards goodness, the way he does with her father? Or maybe Kira is surprised by Xenk's morality, like the fact he is prepared to steal as long as it's for X reason.
- Edgin's birthday is coming up, so Xenk and Kira go shopping for presents together.
- They've been walking for hours and Kira is exhausted. Xenk gives her a piggyback. Maybe she even falls asleep up there.
- Show me how Xenk's relationship with Kira develops if he starts dating Edgin, or even marries him. She already has two mothers, a father, and had an "uncle", so I don't really see her being upset by him joining the family. But is he surprised the first time she hugs him? How long before he feels comfortable giving her a kiss on the forehead? What does she go to him for advice about? Is he the "strict" parent? Or, having not known her as a young child, is he more ready to give her responsibility appropriate to her age than Edgin and Holga, who maybe haven't quite accepted she's growing up? Or just some adorable domestic fluff about a normal day at the cottage in Targos.

- A gentle hug.
Fanvid Prompts
- Honestly, as Kira and Xenk don't share any scenes, I'll be impressed with anything you can cut together.
- Vulnerable, lonely children.
- Invisible vs always seen.
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.
Narrative Prompts
- Soft domestic times, whether at home or on the road. Cooking together, going shopping, changing the bedclothes, just relaxing by the fire. These two need some happiness!
- They're trapped during a snowstorm and Doric turns into an owlbear, snuggling up to keep Simon warm.
- Or Simon injures himself, maybe twists his ankle so he can't walk, or gets injured in combat; Doric turns into an owlbear to carry him.
- 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.
- Doric wraps her tail around Simon's arm while they're walking along, or cuddling in bed, or having sex.
- 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.
- 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?
- They've been courting for a while, and now they're ready to lose their virginities together. Is it a sweet and tender discovery of intimate pleasure, maybe a little awkward but very much enjoyed? Or is it very enjoyable but also very awkward - maybe they struggle to find a good position, or get Simon's cock in, or maybe he comes really quickly and is a bit embarrassed about that... frantically licking her out until he's ready for a second round of penetration? Or maybe Simon is so nervous he can't get it up at all, and Doric has to soften her sharp tongue to reassure him? Maybe she calms him down enough for them to get going - or maybe they explore non-penetrative pleasure, or it becomes a night of cuddles and emotionally vulnerable conversation.
- Doric pegs Simon. Maybe she suggests it and he's hesitant but ends up enjoying it, or he nervously requests it and she's happy to oblige.
- 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.
Visual Prompts
- Smiling at each other as they sit by a campfire, maybe holding hands.
- Owlbear Doric carrying an injured Simon, or Simon helping an injured Doric walk.
- Going on a date together.
- Doric sitting on Simon's lap in cat form.
- Kissing by the light of the moon, or surrounded by flowers, or by a beautiful waterfall...
- Doric riding Simon's cock.

- Doric pegging Simon.
Fanvid Prompts
- Doric being impressed by Simon.
- Simon's obvious crush on Doric.

- From disbelief to belief.
Simon Aumar/Edgin Darvis
I love how Edgin is absolutely convinced of Simon's potential badassery (he has a mental list of all the times Simon's magic worked!) and how he's determined to make Simon believe it too - and this, for some reason, involves touching Simon's face a lot. Simon is awkward and sulky in the face of this, even though he's perfectly willing to trust Edgin and follow his lead in other areas - maybe Simon is pining, and can't let himself believe that Edgin cares about him, or is worried about opening his heart? Depending on the situation, maybe Edgin feels too weird about the age difference, and doesn't want to take advantage of Simon... until something pushes them together.
I enjoy this as a romantic ship, but also as FWB/casual sex, or charming Edgin gently looking after nervous Simon in a dubcon scenario - especially if Simon is a virgin, which I tend to assume is true considering how awkward he is. Could be post-canon, or a missing scene any time from Simon first joining Edgin's crew of thieves up to Korinn's Keep.
(Please don't mention Simon and Doric breaking up. I'd rather you give them an open relationship, make it an AU where they were never into each other, or just ignore that ship altogether.)
Narrative Prompts
- Simon's frustrated by his lack of romantic success and thinks he'd find it easier if he had more experience, so he asks Edgin to help him practise flirting/practise kissing/take his virginity. Or Edgin stumbles on Simon reading an Instructional Manual, and giving him tips turns into some hands-on demonstration.
- Edgin tries to wingman for Simon in a tavern, but the more he extols Simon's virtues the more it seems like he shouldn't be trying to fix Simon up with someone else at all...
- Simon's wild magic backfires and now, whoops, they've swapped bodies. Or can only tell the truth. Or have developed a telepathic soulbond, and now Edgin can hear all of Simon's nervous worries... and sexy thoughts.
- Their quest requires travelling by boat - and Simon turns out to get really seasick. Charming Edgin insists on staying with Simon as he (tries not to) vomit, rubbing his back, maybe trying to distract him from the nausea - but under Edgin's bluff cheer, there's a real edge of tenderness.
- A heist goes pear-shaped and they end up squeezed into a closet together. A very small closet. Or the heist is about to go pear-shaped, and Edgin's quick-fire patter to keep the mark bamboozled somehow results in him pretending to be dating Simon. Or maybe grabbing him for a kiss to avoid the Bad Guys.
- Or their quest requires two of the group to go undercover as a couple - and it needs Simon and Edgin's unique skills in particular. Is this a magical night at a ball (even a masquerade ball), where the enchanting mood sets feelings simmering? Or maybe they're sent to infiltrate a cult, and they have to rely on their trust in the dangerous situation. Do they get picked for one of the cult's rituals - which turns out to be ritual public sex? Maybe they try to fake their way through it, even as the intimate touches stir up real desire. Maybe they just decide to go for it, and Edgin gently helps Simon through some tender dubcon.
- Huddling for warmth - whether in a cave, a snowy cabin, or in a cold inn room. Maybe it's a night of simmering feelings, mutual pining, and trying to hide their arousal... or maybe they just agree to some casual sex to keep warm.
- They have to share a bed at an inn, and mutual horniness results in them masturbating next to each other. Or giving a "helping hand", or grinding on each other. Or just admitting that they're attracted to each other, resulting in some guilt-free anal. Maybe they become friends with benefits to relieve stress before their heists?
- Simon gets hit by sex pollen and Edgin's the only one willing to help him. Or maybe they're trapped somewhere, Edgin gets hit by sex pollen and Simon's the only one who can help him.
- When Edgin goes into Harper mode and starts giving everyone orders, Simon can't help feeling a strange thrill. Does Edgin notice, and gleefully charm Simon into submitting for him? Or maybe they're having sex for another reason, and Simon cautiously suggests they incorporate that...
- Omega Simon unexpectedly goes into heat and alpha Edgin helps him through it, possibly reluctantly because of the age difference or because he thinks Simon deserves the soft romance his heart desires and not a caring but platonic fuck. Or maybe Edgin can see that even though Simon's into him, he's not ready to have sex, and so he just gently comforts Simon while resisting his scent.
Visual Prompts
- Edgin clasping Simon's shoulders as he gives him a pep talk.
- Bathing in a lake or hot springs together.
- Edgin cupping Simon's cheek as they kiss.
- Laughing and drinking together.
- Shit, the guards are coming - we'd better kiss.
- Edgin riding Simon's cock.
- Edgin gently penetrating Simon.
Fanvid Prompts
- Edgin encouraging Simon.
- Edgin getting handsy with Simon.
- Laughing and teasing.

Simon Aumar & Kira Darvis
The party have such a great found family vibe, and I've always been interested in how that manifests between Simon and Kira specifically. It's not clear exactly how long Simon was with them before Korinn's Keep, but it could easily have been a couple of years, maybe more. I tend to imagine him filling a big brother type role for her; maybe she was even young enough that Simon's fail sorcery seemed impressive to her? Now they're reunited post-canon, she's a little older, maybe carrying some trauma but definitely still vulnerable - even if she tries to pretend otherwise. How has their dynamic changed with Simon's newfound confidence?
Narrative Prompts
- When they were travelling thieves, these two were living their daily lives together. Show me some of the little moments between them: eating together in a tavern, foraging for berries in the wilds, relaxing by the campfire, practising tricks - or trying them for real. Or what about the bigger milestones, like birthdays?
- Simon seems to have been homeless at the start of the film. Did he ever get invited to stay at the cottage in Targos? Does he get an invite now? Would he get to spend cosy and comfortable hours playing board games with Kira, or would she gently have to reassure a nervous Simon that he was welcome in their home?
- Now that Kira’s older and the gang are heroes, what kinds of adventures do they have together? Is she trying to figure out what class she wants to be - does she ask Simon to help her attempt magic? Do they get the chance to face a dungeon together, just the two of them, and turn out to be a great team? Maybe they get captured, and awkward Simon has to step up to reassure Kira and keep her calm, even as she insists she’s definitely too young to be afraid any more...
- Or what about an AU where Edgin left Kira in Simon’s care instead of Forge’s? I can imagine him struggling to be the protector she needs, even as their losses and loyalty bind them together.
- There are so many possibilities with Simon doing magic. Little Kira being awed by the sparkly visuals of some basic magic, giving Simon’s ego a boost? Unconfident Simon struggling with a spell, and practical Kira dropping a few words of innocent advice - which turn out to be exactly what he needed? Kira asking newly confident sorcerer Simon to teach her some spells, and see if she has the talent for it? Maybe she turns out to be magically gifted, even bursting out a spell before being taught anything, and now she needs Simon to tutor her in honing it? Maybe his wild magic causes something funny and silly to happen to them both?
- Or what about some animal transformation shenanigans? Maybe Simon accidentally turns himself into a cute animal, and Kira has to hide him/help him change back. (Maybe she can’t help cooing over how soft his fur is, and Simon’s melting of embarrassment but can’t help enjoying the pettings.) Maybe Simon accidentally transforms Kira instead, and desperately tries to change her back before Edgin or Holga find out - or before Kira’s gleeful excitement causes too much chaos!
- Did Kira ever use her invisibility necklace to tease Simon? Does she, like her father, ask Simon to carry things in his bag of holding for her? Maybe she doesn’t, but he delights her by always having what she needs in there - or at least a few snacks.
- Kira spent two years with Forge and without Edgin and Holga, and that’s something that can leave a shadow. Simon has struggled a lot with his family legacy, and I like the idea he’s the sole sorcerer in a family of brilliant wizards. Maybe they could have a soft moment as they have a serious discussion about their families?
Visual Prompts
- A young Kira smiling and gasping in awe as Simon demonstrates some sparkly magic.
- Simon braiding Kira's hair for her.
- Laughing as they play games at a faire.
- Simon hugging Kira in a dingy cell.
- Playing a board game or card game together.

Simon Aumar & Xenk Yendar
In the film, Simon mostly seems to get on Xenk's nerves (being sarcastic! destroying the bridge!) but he's not doing it on purpose and I really think if they spent more time together they could become good friends. Despite his initial jealousy, Simon is eager for Xenk to stay at the end. But maybe Simon worries that Xenk doesn't like him, or doesn't respect him? And Xenk isn't great at social interaction, so he might not realise Simon feels that way, or might not know how to explain that he actually does care. Potentially some angst there, but I'd also love some fluff.
I imagine them both to be quite nerdy: Simon in a "likes to know a bit about everything" way, Xenk more specifically interested in history and puzzles. Maybe they could find common ground in geeking out about some artifact or old book they discover, or just having a good chat about some fascinating information. (I don't think anyone else in the party would be that interested, so they'd probably both be like finally! Someone who gets it!) Or they have to combine their knowledge in order to unlock a puzzle inside a dungeon?
Narrative Prompts
- Xenk tries to teach Simon some combat skills so he can defend himself if he runs out of spell slots/his wild magic misfires/he gets cuffed again.
- Simon worries that Xenk doesn't like him. Xenk surprises him with a thoughtful gift, perhaps a rare tome on sorcery.
- Xenk doesn't want to bother Simon with the Heavy Object he's carrying. He can manage! He doesn't want to impose! Everyone else might make Simon carry things, but he won't! And Simon has to convince Xenk that using his bag of holding is the most sensible option all around.
- Simon gets injured in battle and Xenk heals him. Or Xenk is sick/injured, and Simon watches over him while he's unconscious.
- Or maybe Simon injures himself and then tries to hide it because he's embarrassed about how it happened. But Xenk figures it out and insists on healing him.
- There's a cave-in but Simon uses his shield spell to protect the two of them. Xenk has to keep Simon calm so the spell stays up long enough for owlbear Doric to smash through the rubble.
Visual Prompts
- Simon looking sheepish as his magic misfires again.
- Xenk grabbing Simon's hand to stop him falling in a chasm.
- Having an excited chat.
- Xenk healing an injured Simon.
- One of them helping the other walk.

Simon Aumar/Xenk Yendar
In the film, Simon mostly seems to get on Xenk's nerves (being sarcastic! destroying the bridge!) but he's not doing it on purpose and I really think if they spent more time together they could become good friends - and then fall in love. Despite his initial jealousy, Simon is eager for Xenk to stay at the end. Under his sarcasm, his awkwardness, and his occasional sulkiness, Simon is rather sweet and kinda adorable. And once you see past his stern manner and paladin morals, Xenk is kind and actually sorta awkward too.
I like the idea that they're both a bit dorky, deeply interested in niche subjects, in a way none of the others understand. But I think they could find some common ground. But maybe Simon worries that Xenk doesn't like him, or doesn't respect him? And Xenk isn't great at social interaction, so he might not realise Simon feels that way, or might not know how to explain that he actually does care. Potentially some angst there, but I'd also love some fluff - or some hurt/comfort, or smut. I can see them both as virgins (due to Simon's awkwardness and Xenk's duty/angst) and maybe worries about intimacy would result in mutual pining - or an intense experience during some dubcon, with Xenk gently trying to look after nervous Simon, even as Xenk himself is a bit overwhelmed.
(Please don't mention Simon and Doric breaking up. I'd rather you give them an open relationship, make it an AU where they were never into each other, or just ignore that ship altogether.)
Narrative Prompts
- Xenk tries to teach Simon some combat skills so he can defend himself if he runs out of spell slots/his wild magic misfires/he gets cuffed again. This involves a lot of Xenk physically correcting Simon's stance/hold, or maybe Simon has a clumsy moment and trips onto Xenk – who catches him in his strong arms... or maybe they end up lying on the floor.
- They have to share a bed for Reasons. Xenk is nobly keeping as much distance as possible. But it's freezing, and Simon keeps making sad noises about being really cold...
- Or maybe Xenk has a nightmare during the night, and Simon unexpectedly finds himself trying to comfort a man he thought could deal with anything.
- Or maybe Simon gets injured. Does he collapse, and Xenk catches him? Maybe Xenk has to gently hold Simon while he heals his wounds. Or maybe Xenk can't heal Simon - because he's run out of spells/he's been cuffed - and all he can do is gently comfort Simon till he gets his magic back. Maybe they're even locked in a cell at the time, waiting to be rescued.
- Or their quest requires travelling by boat - and one of them is really prone to seasickness. Does Xenk nobly sit with Simon as he (tries not to) vomit, gently rubbing his back, assuring him there's no shame in it? Or is awkward Simon the only one there to comfort vulnerable Xenk, resulting in some unexpected tenderness?
- A strange artifact accidentally creates a soulbond between them. Now they're stuck hearing each other's thoughts, feeling each other's feelings, and/or unable to move more than a few feet apart. Maybe Simon's worried all his insecurities are about to be revealed to the perfect Xenk Yendar, only to discover the paladin has a few insecurities of his own. Maybe the forced proximity brings them together, despite Simon's sarcastic comments about it. Maybe the spell means they'll get really sick if they don't have a certain amount of skin-to-skin contact every day... or if they don't have sex every day.
- A quest requires two of the group to go undercover as a couple - and it needs Simon and Xenk's unique skills in particular. Is this a magical night at a ball (even a masquerade ball), where the enchanting mood sets feelings simmering? Or maybe they're sent to infiltrate a cult, and they have to rely on their trust in the dangerous situation. Do they get picked for one of the cult's rituals - which turns out to be ritual public sex? Maybe they try to fake their way through it, even as the intimate touches stir up real desire. Maybe they just decide to go for it, and gently help each other through some tender dubcon.
- The two of them get hit by sex pollen and the resulting fuck is amazing/awkward/both at once.
- They're trapped alone together in a dungeon/cave/snowed in cabin when omega Simon goes into heat. Alpha Xenk nobly volunteers to ease his suffering. With his dick.
- Or maybe alpha Xenk can tell that omega Simon is scared or not ready for sex, and instead nobly resists his incredible scent all night. Maybe while reassuring him and gently holding him close.

Simon Aumar & Edgin Darvis & Kira Darvis & Doric & Holga Kilgore & Xenk Yendar
I love the found family that the party develop over the course of the film, and really want to see Kira and Xenk included in that as they all adventure together. I'm looking for banter, tender feelings, protectiveness, and/or the interplay between everyone's different personalities. Fluff, angst, action-adventure and hurt/comfort are all great!
Narrative Prompts
- Domestic life when your home is on the road. Sitting around the campfire, eating, joking, telling ghost stories or stories of past adventures, Edgin singing and the others joining in (or not). Exploring the market in a new town, sampling the local food, drinking in a tavern. Banter, comfortable friendship, soft found family feels.
- They get ambushed by a Red Wizard/gnolls/bullywugs/whatever. Roll initiative! The party has to band together to protect each other and get out of there.
- Dungeon delving! You don't have to cover the entire quest (unless you want to), I'd be excited for a single scene where they solve a puzzle, overcome a trap, get hopelessly lost and bicker about it, etc. Or maybe they accidentally spring a trap, again. Or they get their hands on the artifact and it doesn't do what they expected!
- It's time for Insert Seasonal Festival! Who loves the traditions, who hates them, who's never heard of them? Is it celebrated differently in Triboar than in Thay, among the Elk Tribe compared to the wood elves? Maybe someone eats too much, maybe someone hates the taste of the traditional food. Maybe someone's really good at the traditional game - or really bad at it. Maybe someone's excited to celebrate the day in a new way, or maybe seeing everyone celebrating it in a different way makes them homesick. An excuse for soft fluff, silly shenanigans or a bit of angst.
- Or it's someone's birthday! Who is it, how old are they, what presents do they get? Do they love birthdays, do they hate them, have they tried to keep it secret?
- Simon's wild magic misfires and causes chaos. You can either pick something from the official list or come up with something suitably comedic/dramatic.
- They arrive in a town that has a potato shortage and must go on a Quest to find a potato for Holga.
- Edgin knits presents for everyone. They're a bit lumpy, but they're made with love.
- Any/all of the magic users trying to teach Kira how to do magic.
- Doric sitting on laps as a cat, or providing a big warm bundle to cuddle up to as an owlbear.
- The party find out what actually happened to Xenk's family during the Beckoning Death - and how traumatic it was for him - when a spell recreates his worst memory in front of them. Or maybe he magically gets de-aged back into that little boy, and the only thing he remembers from the intervening years is how to speak Common.
- One of them gets injured, and the others all show their concern in their own way. Maybe Xenk can heal them quickly - or maybe he's run out of spells for the day, and the group has to keep the injured person comfortable until they can be healed. Or Xenk has been cuffed, and they have to protect the injured person while also escaping from danger.

Theodore "Laurie" Laurence/Amy March
I already knew these two were endgame, but this was the first version of Little Women I consumed and it's basically the Laurie/Amy truther version, and the ship completely grabbed me. I have so many feelings about their arc: little Amy pining for her big sister's best friend, lonely Laurie slotting right into their family like a brother even as he pines for Jo... then Laurie and Amy reuniting in Europe as adults, with all those childhood years giving them such a comfortable rapport. Only now Amy is a clear-eyed woman dealing with the difficult questions of marriage, and Laurie's struggling with his heartbreak.
I love their gentle, awkward, prickly edging towards open affection - and I love that Amy is so determined to be practical, but still being swayed by her feelings. She's seen the best of Laurie and refuses to let him be his worst - after all, if she can live with unrequited love, why can't he? And I love that she refuses to surrender to her own girlish crush and accept his first flimsy suggestion of feelings - forcing them both to assess what they really want, and to come to each other afresh, in a moment of genuine emotion and honesty. And despite the loss of Beth, they seem so happy together! Laurie practically glows as he talks about Amy.
I'm fine with past Laurie/Jo as long as it was never consummated (although I got the impression in this film, it was more like Laurie had an unrequited crush, or wasn't really sure what kind of love he was feeling?). But you don't have to mention that ship at all, if you don't want to.
Narrative Prompts
- I would love some comfortable domestic moments as they settle into married life together, back home in the States. Chatting over the breakfast table, cuddling up for a cosy night by the fire, discussing whether to rearrange the furniture, or planning a society ball...
- Or some seasonal vibes, at any point during the year. Enjoying the flowers blooming in their garden? Having a relaxing summer picnic? Wrapping up warm for an autumn walk, or snuggling as they hold mugs of lovely hot drink? Going ice skating again, but this time it's pure fun? Celebrating Christmas with their families, or a quieter moment between the two of them during the Christmas season?
- What happened after that kiss? A gentle and tender conversation about all their hopes? More of them comforting each other over losing Beth? Dealing with the practical questions of engagement? Laurie properly getting down on one knee, with or without a ring? So many possibilities!
- That must've been a long boat journey back from Europe. Does one of them suffer from seasickness? Some hurt/comfort for that would be great. Or maybe they were trying to sneak little moments together between looking after sickly Aunt March. Maybe, as a newly married couple, they spent most of the trip together in their cabin...
- Or maybe some hurt/comfort when Amy has a dream about Beth and wakes up crying, and Laurie gently comforts her. Or maybe Laurie feels like he has to hide his own grief about Beth, because that pain really belongs to Amy - but he was practically the Marches' brother. Maybe Amy could help him to open up and they could console each other together.
- We see them with their baby daughter at the end of the film. I'd love something about Laurie doting on pregnant Amy. Maybe she's exhausted or she's got morning sickness, or maybe he just likes fussing over her. But does he have any worries about being a good father, after losing his own? Or some pure fluff would be good. Introducing the baby to the Marches or to Laurie's grandfather? Playing with her, teaching her to walk or talk, reading a bedtime story?
- I'd love to see Amy and Laurie consummating their marriage on their wedding night. Is virgin Amy determined to be practical about it all, or is she overwhelmed by the tenderness and vulnerability? Does she even know what sex is, or does Laurie have to gently guide her through it? Seems like it probably isn't Laurie's first time - but is his first time with someone he loves. Is he overwhelmed by the intimacy of it?
- Or maybe some smut once they're an established couple and have a thorough knowledge of each other's likes and bodies.
- Laurie says that Amy calls him "my lord" - do they indulge in some gentle power exchange, with sub Amy happily surrendering to dom Laurie? Maybe she finds it really relaxing to be tied up or pinned down, or just told what to do. Maybe Laurie finds it exciting to take control and loves giving her pleasure.
- Or maybe Amy is the dominant one! She definitely seems to be the one in charge outside the bedroom - maybe that extends to sex too. Does she like to make him obey, even kneel? And is he eager to be a good boy, or does he need a little firmness before he'll fall in line?
Visual Prompts
- Dancing together.
- Soft smiles as they sit together by the fire.
- Laurie unbuttoning Amy's painting apron.
- Amy drawing Laurie again - clothes optional.
- Walking arm in arm as they take a stroll - maybe past some spring flowers, through some autumn leaves, or among the snowdrifts...
- Eating a picnic together.

Theodore "Laurie" Laurence & Amy March & Beth March & Jo March & Meg March
I love big families, with all the complex intertwined relationships that result, and I love how Laurie blended into that. The girls are all so different but so similar at the same time, and I love the contrasts and parallels between them - like how they all have a creative outlet, but in different spheres. And I had so many feelings about them drawing lonely orphan Laurie into that, turning him into almost a brother figure. The March household seemed so cosy, always so full of homely activity and love - even when they were arguing. I definitely got the impression Laurie was pining to be part of their family - and to stay part of it as they grew up. And who could blame him? All the fun of putting on plays, going ice skating, secret meetings in the attic, matching keys for a private letterbox, celebrating Christmas together... And all four sisters seem fond of Laurie - even shy Beth was happy for Laurie to hug an arm around her when they were preparing to send Marmee to nurse their father.
I'd like all five of them to at least have a small appearance in the work, but you don't have to feature them all equally. Laurie's unrequited crush on Jo and Amy's (currently) unrequited crush on Laurie are fine to include in the background, but please keep the focus on the sense of them as a group. And you're welcome to have Laurie's grandfather, Marmee, and/or Mr March appear as well!
Narrative Prompts
- This is such a good canon for seasonal moments. We've seen them at so many points during the year, partaking in appropriate activities - you could return to/expand on any of those, or show me a whole new one. Picking flowers or making flower crowns, dancing in a light spring rain, visiting a lake on a hot day, drinking hot cocoa, eating toffee apples, ice skating, snowball fights or building snowmen... Fluffy and happy, soft and tender, food or sport or relaxation, I just crave more of this. Could be one scene, or a 4 or 5(+1) thing.
- Also, Christmas. I love Christmas. You could go historically accurate here, but I won't notice if you aren't. Baking and eating gingerbread, buying or making presents for each other, playing charades, wrapping up warm to go carolling, cuddling up together by the fire with a hot drink... Do they decorate a tree, in the Marches' house or in Laurie's? Maybe Laurie gets a mistletoe kiss on the cheek from each of the girls - or the girls give them to each other. Those scenes of them eating Christmas dinner are just so cosy.
- I'd love to see them putting on a play. Any part of the process - arguing about roles, practising scenes, doing rewrites, making or trying on their costumes, a dress rehearsal, and/or the final performance... I love the creativity, the bustle, the taking on of roles, the opportunities for banter/bickering or for hilarious mistakes. Marmee suggested Laurie would have to fight Jo for the male roles - does she win? Does he have to play a girl? Can Beth be urged into a small role or does she stick to providing music?
- Some mild hurt/comfort would be great. Could be four of them all (fighting to) look after one at the same time, or maybe four rotating through shifts of keeping the hurt one company. Maybe one of them slipped while walking in the snow? Got caught in the rain and now has a chill? Or a fever, and now keeps having nightmares? Hurt their foot while dancing (again)? The full aftermath of Amy falling through the ice? Maybe Laurie is sick and can't leave his house, so the girls bring all their bustle to his bedroom? I'd just love to see them all being soft and concerned (or affectionately providing noisy distractions).
- Maybe something a little angstier - Laurie just as he's getting to know them, pining to be part of their family? Already included, but worried he'll always be an outsider? Maybe specifically worrying that shy Beth won't open up to him - or Beth as she nervously gets to know him, trying to be brave, forging that affectionate bond? Or maybe two of the sisters have had another little argument about something, and are worried they won't make up - maybe one (or more) of the others could help them patch it up?
- I'd love a Hogwarts AU for them. Maybe Laurie has just transferred from another school, and meets the March sisters on the train? Or he and Jo meet while playing/trying out for Quidditch? Or he bumps into one of them somewhere else? No preference on who's in which house. I just think the cosy vibes of the film would translate well to these five eating in the Great Hall, exploring Hogsmeade, doing homework in the library, causing shenanigans in lessons, sneaking out at night, or sneaking Laurie into places he's not meant to be... (Also if you move the era to modern-ish Hogwarts, feel free to have Jo be a trans boy!)

Marjorie Bruce & Elizabeth de Burgh
I have so many feelings about the bond these two develop, and I love how much the narrative legitimises it. "You are Marjorie's and she is yours." Just omfg. Feel free to set your work any time from them first bonding, to Elizabeth looking after Marjorie while they're on the run/kept captive, being reunited, or as Marjorie grows up... Whether Elizabeth is playing with Marjorie, singing to her, comforting her, teaching her, whatever, I just love how much they love each other. Feel free to include Robert too!
Narrative Prompts
- I loved how quickly and intensely they bonded. That first moment with Elizabeth asking about Jessie the dog was so sweet and tender. But what other moments did they have on the journey to forging that bond? When was the first time Elizabeth's heart swelled in Marjorie's presence? The first time Marjorie sought Elizabeth out instead of her previous favourite? Their first hug?
- Them chasing each other around the castle was so cute too. I'd love to see them playing more games like that, whether tag or hide and seek or similar. Maybe a fun little roleplay, imagining they're slaying dragons? Or playing dress-up with Elizabeth's clothes?
- Or playing games with, taking care of, or relaxing with Jessie. Maybe trying to teach him a new trick? Or just stroking him together as they sit by the fire.
- How many times has Elizabeth sung Bonny At Morn to Marjorie as she drifted off to sleep? What about when she was awake? Does Elizabeth teach the song to Marjorie - or did Marjorie already know it, and they like to sing it together? What about other songs? Maybe Marjorie made up a song of her own and got Elizabeth to join in.
- If you want to do something angstier, how about a fic set while they're on the run - or after they've been captured. Maybe Marjorie is upset by thoughts of what could be happening to her father, even has a nightmare about it, and Elizabeth gently comforts her. Or maybe Elizabeth finds ways to distract Marjorie and keep her occupied while they're locked up. Or Elizabeth herself takes comfort from holding Marjorie close.
- On the beach, Robert said Marjorie was waiting for Elizabeth. Show me their happy reunion.
- I'd love something that shows their bond continuing to grow after the film too, as Marjorie grows up. Maybe Elizabeth counselling Marjorie about some worry? Teaching her something? Even just reading to her. Or still enjoying hugs, even as Marjorie gets older.
- In real life, Elizabeth and Robert had more children together. Was Marjorie excited about having some siblings? Maybe she was awed by feeling the baby kick inside Elizabeth's belly. What about the moment Elizabeth introduced the newborn to Marjorie?
Visual Prompts
- Elizabeth reading a bedtime story to Marjorie, or singing her to sleep, or stroking her hair as she drifts off.
- Playing tag in the castle.
- Elizabeth hugging a worried Marjorie tight. Or happy cuddles in safer times.
- Stroking or playing with Jessie the dog together.

Fanvid Prompts
- Playing games.

Robert Bruce/Elizabeth de Burgh
I love the gentle, tender romance that develops between these two. Robert is clearly attracted to Elizabeth from the moment they meet, but out of respect for her autonomy or for his first wife, he refuses to claim his "marital rights". Elizabeth is resigned to her duty, striding into her new life despite the flicker of fear over physical intimacy - and when she discovers that sex is off the table, it gives her space to fall in love with him.
I love the quiet, sometimes awkward moments of daily life, encountering each other in corridors and repeatedly saying goodnight - as well as Elizabeth developing a strong bond with Marjorie. But I also love the bolder, more political moments, from the ceremonies to Elizabeth displaying her political nouse and swearing herself to him. They match each other on every level - ruling together, laughing together, supporting each other's needs, whether big or small - and their love is deep and genuine. I was so pleased that she was the one to invite him to bed, and that he waited for her without question, resulting in a tender and passionate consummation. And I love that - despite her being a determined, intelligent queen and him being a complex, canny leader capable of brutality - when they're laughing and kissing they feel more like awkward, earnest teenage lovers embarking on innocent first love. If you want to try and capture all those nuances, you're very welcome to - but I'd be happy with something that highlights just one aspect, whether fluffy or dramatic or smutty.
You're very welcome to include Marjorie, or their other historical children, as well as references to Robert's relationship with his first wife. Also, don't feel you need to be historically accurate at all - the film clearly isn't! If you do happen to know about the period, feel free to use that knowledge to expand on the film, though please don't change anything established by the movie. But you're also welcome to just make up details that "feel right".
Narrative Prompts
- I'd love some post-canon fluff, as they get to enjoy truly being husband and wife. Does Robert keep giving her thistles? Do they keep teasingly saying goodnight? Do they sneak quiet moments together between their duties, giggling or kissing in a corner? What about waking up together, eating together, cuddling in front of a roaring fire, falling asleep together? How do they mark the passing of seasons?
- Or something more dramatic, with them dealing with the realities of ruling a country. Listening to petitioners, trying to solve their issues. Making alliances and laws. Deciding on fair taxation, and rebuilding Scotland after so much destruction. Dealing with the Scottish nobles. Any of it, all of it. And supporting each other - intellectually, emotionally, physically - giving advice but also cuddling after an exhausting day.
- They already have Marjorie, but Robert would need a male heir - and they did have more children in real life. Anything focusing on that - from planning and hoping, to anticipating the baby once Elizabeth is pregnant, to dealing with things like morning sickness, or worry that Elizabeth will die like Robert's first wife Isabella... to their joy and excitement once the child arrives safely, or the realities of raising them. Robert and Elizabeth are both adorable with Marjorie, so I'd love some more cuteness as their family grows.
- Although they have separate bedrooms, maybe they accidentally fall asleep together after some frantic lovemaking - and one of them has a nightmare. Robert saw so much horror on the path to affirming his rule, and Elizabeth spent so long in that cage hanging from the castle walls. But now they're back together, they can comfort each other over their trauma.
- Now they're reunited, they have the opportunity for their second time - or third, fourth, fifth... Show me these two exploring physical intimacy together, whether it's a tender coupling while they're still discovering each other's bodies, or a passionate night years down the line.
- It's fourteenth century Scotland, so there might not be established knowledge of kinks - but that doesn't mean they can't have fantasies that they explore together. Maybe they both have a praise kink. Maybe Elizabeth loves to feel her husband's big strong body holding her down. Maybe, now he's assured of her willingness, Robert wants to continue his rule into the bedroom - or maybe after a tiring day of politics he wants to lay all that down and let Elizabeth take control. Maybe a discreet craftsman provides them with a strap-on so they can try pegging. Just the two of them happily being kinky together.
- Omega Elizabeth goes into heat, and her alpha husband Robert tends to her needs. From the intense physical sensation and intimacy of knotting, to the raw instinct of breeding kink, they're going to fully indulge their urges. But maybe outside of heats, that just involves Robert quietly scenting Elizabeth, or him fondly helping her nest.

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, 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!
Narrative Prompts
- More of Nicholas cooking for Mia? Maybe she's worrying about losing the crown and can't sleep, so goes to get a midnight snack, and he just happens to want one too - and there's both softness and tension as he prepares and shares something amazing. Or them as an established couple: flirting over a normal breakfast, Nicholas learning Mia's favourite foods, or him going all out with a special romantic dinner.
- 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 as she mingles at an event.
- Or silly fluff based on Mia's continuing clumsiness. Nicholas seemed amused and forgiving when she stepped on his foot the first time, and when she fell on him climbing down from her window. So more of that: Mia causing minor chaos and Nicholas calmly dealing with it, or maybe a fall results in an intimate position that gets them riled up and means they spend the rest of an event jittering because they're desperate to be alone.
- I'd be interested to see how these two and their dynamic play out in other settings: steampunk 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?
- 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.
- 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.

Jaylah/Montgomery "Scotty" Scott
These two doing engineering together was so cute. I love that Jaylah seems both innocent and haunted, a badass fighter but with a talent for science - and Scotty is older and (supposedly) wiser, but he's instantly on the back foot even as he clearly forms a bond with her.
Show me how their relationship develops, as Jaylah gets to experience life in Starfleet and discover there's a whole universe out there. Maybe Scotty keeps his feelings secret, thinking he's too old or that he'd only hold her back, but their early shared interest means Jaylah feels closer to him than anyone else.
Narrative Prompts
- Now that she's at the academy, Jaylah keeps Scotty updated on all the things she's learning. Maybe they get the chance to meet up and have a good natter about engineering - and it progresses into something more.
- Jaylah's culture has some courtship rituals that Scotty finds somewhat alarming.
- Alcohol does absolutely nothing for Jaylah, but when she unexpectedly discovers a common earth food gets her drunk instead, Scotty has to make sure a giggly and uncoordinated Jaylah gets home safe.
- When she graduates, Jaylah joins Scotty on the Enterprise and they're caught up in another adventure together. Or just get to enjoy downtime while zooming through space.
- Hiding alone on a hostile planet, Jaylah never had the chance to lose her virginity. Now she's ready to have sex - so she turns to Scotty, her first friend and the man she trusts the most. Maybe he's reluctant and only agrees to try some kissing, or giving her some detailed advice, but her enthusiasm for it makes it clear how comfortable she is. Maybe they do the deed and have a great time - and the intimacy of it stirs up some feelings in them both.
- I can see Jaylah being quite dominant in bed, as an actual dom to Scotty's sub, or just enjoying pinning him down and riding him. And obviously he's into that too.
- Or maybe Jaylah gets heats/ruts, and after all that time dealing with them alone she just wants Scotty to help her through them.

James T. Kirk/Leonard "Bones" McCoy
I love Bones and his sassy grumpiness, and how under that he clearly cares (though possibly he wishes he didn't). Kirk starts off rebellious and traumatised, but obviously has a keen mind and an urge to protect people. Really enjoy both Bones despairing at young, reckless, flirty Kirk, and the more tender moments once Kirk mellows into a slightly-more-responsible captain, like when they're sharing the booze that Bones stole from Chekov.
Do they mutually pine over each other in silence, with Bones maybe believing Kirk isn't even into men? Or does Kirk proposition him while they're still at the academy and they become friends with benefits? How long does it take them to admit they have feelings and they want more? Or maybe it's only after they're already on their five year mission when they start to see each other that way - does a dangerous situation push them to confess?
(No preference for whether you call them Jim/Bones or Kirk/McCoy, use what you prefer.)
Narrative Prompts
- Kirk's trauma sometimes surfaces as nightmares. Either he goes to Bones for a medical solution, or Bones witnesses a nightmare first hand - while roommates at the academy, or forced to share a bed on an alien planet?
- An away mission goes wrong and Kirk is injured, but they can't contact the ship. Bones has to treat him without the benefit of proper equipment, and worries about him until they're safe. Or Bones is the one injured, and he has to talk Kirk through treating him.
- They get captured by baddies and Bones can only watch as Kirk is tortured, and then tries to comfort him once it's over. In his grumpy Bonesy way, of course.
- Kirk gets an alien parasite for which the treatment is uncomfortably intimate: needing to be jerked off, or sounded, or have his prostate milked, etc. They both try to remain professional, but the vulnerability of it brings some feelings to the surface. Bones' terrible bedside manner fully welcome. (Not looking for medical kink, in the sense of the characters explicitly kinking on it, but very happy for the narrative to kink on the situation.)
- One or both of them gets hit by sex pollen. Maybe they stoically resist giving in and suffer through the symptoms while comforting each other, or maybe they've both been pining so long that they just jump at each other. Or maybe Bones tries to administer an antidote - or maybe it was Kirk having a reaction to some medicine Bones gave him that caused the sex pollen effect to begin with!
- Dom/sub, with Kirk either being a bratty sub who wants to be forced to submit or being eager to cede control for a while. Bones as a dom with a stern manner but who treats his sub gently. Kneeling, collaring and aftercare all very welcome.

James T. Kirk/Leonard "Bones" McCoy/Spock
Reckless but brilliant Kirk, logical yet emotional Spock, sharp-tongued but compassionate Bones... I love the interplay between these three: snarking yet supporting, frustrated yet protective, so loyal even when they disagree. Each side of the triangle has such a different way of interacting, and I'm interested in all of those as well as how they blend into a trio. Whether they're mutually pining before they get together, or they're a solid established triad, I'd love to see some smut or humour between them - or some vulnerability as they open up to each other.
Narrative Prompts
- Watching a beautiful sunset, finding a picturesque waterfall, or bathing in an incredible lake on an alien planet.
- Relentless flirting even as they're saving the universe - banter doesn't hamper their ability to kick some ass, dodge phaser fire, or interrupt the villain's plans!
- A strange alien artifact/a mind meld gone wrong/something results in them all being able to hear each other's thoughts or feel each other's feelings.
- Huddling for warmth while trapped on an ice planet.
- Each of them assumes the other two are in love.
- One of them has a nightmare, the other two comfort him.
- This diplomatic mission was already frustrating, and now they find out there's only one bed. And trying to fit three of them in it is going to require them to get very close indeed.
- They get hit by sex pollen and the only way to cure all of them is a threesome.
- After a long day captaining, Kirk's partners insist he takes a break - by submitting to them. Or maybe Kirk's captaincy continues into the bedroom, with Spock and Bones subbing for him. (Or one of them joins Kirk on the dom side?)
- Kirk insists he can take both his partners' cocks at the same time.
- When he goes into heat, omega Kirk is so insatiable it takes two alphas to keep up with him. (Or maybe Spock is the omega, or Bones?)

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.)
Narrative Prompts
- Soft kisses stolen in quiet moments, away from the eyes of the crew.
- 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.)

- Chekov blushing as Kirk leans in close.
- Kirk hugging Chekov tight.

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/Chris or Kirk/Pike, use what you prefer.)
Narrative Prompts
- 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.

James T. Kirk/Montgomery "Scotty" Scott
I love that Scotty is almost immediately loyal to Kirk, and that Kirk absolutely relies on him to get things done - even when Scotty's already resigned from his job. And Scotty might complain, but he'll still rush to help him. I love how Scotty swings between almost innocent cheerfulness that turns to grumpiness when he feels unappreciated, and the humorous possibilities of that with his charming, flirty, almost reckless captain. Kirk's a good leader, but he's got trauma lurking beneath the surface, and I think Scotty would be kind with that. And they're both brilliant in their own ways.
Narrative Prompts
- Scotty loyally following Kirk into a new perilous situation, or performing some arduous task for him, and Kirk showing his appreciation. (Or "appreciation"...)
- Kirk fondly complimenting a grumpy Scotty who's feeling ignored - whether they're already a couple, or Kirk secretly has feelings for him.
- While stuck on an alien planet, they have to huddle for warmth. Maybe a tension's already been developing between them, and this pushes them over the edge - or maybe the forced proximity itself stirs up new feelings. Especially if they have to cuddle naked.
- Scotty gets drunk and starts complimenting Kirk again... a lot. So much that Kirk starts getting suspicious.
- They have to share a bed for Reasons, and Kirk has a nightmare. Scotty gently comforts him.
- Or one of them gets injured while they're stranded, away from the Enterprise and her doctors, and the other one looks after them, maybe holding them close. Or maybe Kirk is tortured by aliens, and Scotty can only watch - and try to comfort him afterwards?
- They're trapped together, on an alien planet or locked in a cell, when one or both of them gets doused with sex pollen. Maybe Scotty's the pollened one, and he's grumpy but apologetic, and Kirk is kind and casual about offering to help. Or maybe Kirk's the one affected, and he doesn't want to ask this of his subordinate - but Scotty insists on it. Or they're both pollened, and they can't keep their hands off each other - and don't regret it afterwards.
- Would love some dom/sub for them, whether that echoes their captain/officer roles, or whether they reverse that. Maybe Scotty's eager to take charge and Kirk is happy to give up his burdens for a bit, or maybe Kirk channels his protective instinct into giving a needy Scotty exactly what he desires.
- They're trapped together when one of them unexpectedly goes into heat, and the other one offers to help. Maybe alpha Kirk carefully looks after a nervous Scotty, or maybe alpha Scotty nervously tries to make it good for desperate omega Kirk.

Franklin "FDR" Foster/Tuck Hansen
I love these two and the dynamic they have: working smoothly together, protecting each other in danger, happily declaring their love for each other, bantering, hanging out. They're deeply competitive but deeply loyal, though there's also a fragility to their friendship. They're such different people - smooth, flirty FDR who hides his angsty past, and earnest, romantic Tuck who's longing for love but doesn't know how to find it - but they have such an easy rapport and genuinely like each other. (Except when they don't.)
When do their declarations of platonic love turn to romantic ones - and do they even notice that change happening? Maybe they mutually pine for a while, or maybe they're already casually having sex before they realise they have romantic feelings - or the intimacy of a dubcon scenario pushes them to confess. Or show me what they're like as an established relationship! Fluff, smut, hurt/comfort or spy adventures all welcome.
Being spies, they're required to do some dark things - killing, lying, stealing - and that puts them in a bubble together, both because they can't share those secrets and because others might not understand if they did. The fact that they were both so relaxed about surveilling Lauren (and each other) suggests they're not on the same page as most people - but they are on the same page as each other. I'm fine with you acknowledging that, as a "they're fucked up in the same way, and therefore perfect together" type thing, but you're also free to ignore that thread and keep it light - this canon isn't a serious examination of what espionage does to the soul, it's a fun comedy.
Narrative Prompts
- More of them in an action situation: protecting each other, dodging bullets, parrying strikes, bantering away. Does Tuck ever remember to bring spare ammo? Does one of them knock the other out the way of danger, and they end up lying on top of each other?
- I'd love some more of them hanging out, maybe watching a movie, playing video games, or drinking together. But this time there's a mood in the air, and something ends up happening.
- Visiting Nana's again! Another family gathering (to which Tuck is, of course, invited) where their feelings for each other simmer until they end up confessing? Or maybe the first time FDR introduces Tuck as his boyfriend?
- One of them gets injured, and the other one looks after them. Maybe holding them close, keeping them calm until help arrives - or helping them to walk, so they can get to safety?
- Or they're sharing a bed for Reasons, and one of them has a nightmare about something they barely escaped - and the other one comforts them.
- Undercover as a couple! They have to pretend to be together, and they think it'll be fine because they're already so comfortable with each other - but kissing feels far more natural than they expect, and they're not sure what to do about that. (Maybe they end up in a situation where they're expected to fuck, and they either try and fake it - or just decide to roll with it, because why not?)
- What happened in Bangladesh that resulted in Tuck seeing FDR's cock? Was it hard at the time? And, most importantly, did Tuck touch it?
- They both like Sade. They both know it turns FDR into Captain Horny Pants. You see where this is going.
- While on a mission, they get dosed with sex pollen - either accidentally, or as a deliberate ploy by the baddies - and now they need to fuck. Have they been pining for ages, and this results in them confessing (but maybe not until afterwards), or does the sex itself stir up unexpected feelings - which they can't ignore?
- Or the baddies insist they fuck or die, and they're both comfortable with fucking - but actually doing it, especially while in danger, turns out to be more vulnerable and intimate than they anticipated.
- Maybe they have a friends-with-benefits agreement, so they can blow off steam, relax before a tense mission, while away the time when undercover... or just because sex is fun. But maybe feelings develop, and neither wants to be the one who "ruins" it.
- Normally in omegaverse I prefer alpha/omega, but I think alpha/alpha would really work for these two - competing with each other, not wanting to back down, scents battling in the air, wrestling to see who tops. They're not built to take a knot, but maybe they'd want to prove they're tough enough to handle it.
- But I would also be interested in alpha/omega! No preference for which is which. Maybe one of them unexpectedly goes into heat, maybe while they're undercover - and, well, what is a best friend going to do but help his buddy out? But maybe knotting is more intimate than they expect.

Amaya/Asha
These two were so supportive of each other, and worked so well once they teamed up. You could definitely read some symbolism into Amaya becoming ruler and Asha becoming wishmaster - splitting Magnifico's old roles between them. But I loved the scene before Asha's interview, with Amaya calmly preparing and encouraging Asha, even gently holding her hands - and for all her quirky awkwardness, Asha seemed very comfortable with Amaya even then. And that hug she gives Amaya just before the crowd proclaims her queen! What kind of relationship is going to develop between them now, as they work together to make Rosas the best place it can be?
Narrative Prompts
- Now that Asha's turned eighteen, it's time for her to make a wish. But it turns out to be something neither of them expected.
- Amaya feels guilty about the way Asha is starting to make her heart beat faster. Asha does so much good for Rosas, and Amaya only wants good things for her - and Amaya fears the age difference means she's not good for her.
- Asha saw the way Magnifico dazzled his subjects. Maybe Amaya doesn't have illusions to inspire awe, but she's still regal, she's intelligent, she has a lot of life experience - and that's definitely why Asha's feeling so dazzled by her these days. Definitely just that.
- Dealing with the difficulties of granting wishes and running a country, supporting each other as they learn their new roles.
- Fluffy quiet moments, holding hands or kissing, away from the eyes of the citizens.
- A new danger arises and they have to save Rosas together, bringing the two of them closer. Maybe one of them gets injured, and the other gently comforts them. Maybe Asha has to figure out how to use the wand to heal Amaya. Or find a healing spell among Magnifico's old books?
- Amaya gently guides Asha through her first time. (Is it Amaya's first time with a woman too?)
- While on a quest to help Rosas, Asha gets dosed with sex pollen. Amaya is concerned about her young friend - but concerned about making things worse by helping her. But Asha insists she trusts her.
- Or maybe Asha is an omega, and now that she's eighteen she's going into heat for the first time. Alpha Amaya is worried about crossing the line, but Asha insists there's nobody else she wants. Or maybe Amaya just holds Asha close, letting her smell that alpha scent, comforting her until the heat is over and Asha can make a real decision.

Amaya/Asha/Magnifico of Rosas
I thought the relationships between all three were so interesting, and I'd love to see Amaya and Magnifico fold Asha into their established marriage. Obviously there's a big age difference, so maybe they'd all be hesitant about the idea to begin with - but please either let some time elapse so Asha's 18, or make it an AU where she was 18 to begin with. But I loved Amaya's soft and supportive marriage to Magnifico, and how soft and supportive she was of Asha too. And Asha and Magnifico had such a connection during her interview (before it all went off the rails). How would they function as a three?
No irredeemably evil Magnifico for this ship, please - I'd like him to be a sympathetic antagonist (or even ally!) instead. Fluff, angst, hurt/comfort, adventures and smut all welcome.
Narrative Prompts
- Maybe Magnifico took Asha on as apprentice after all, and she had a slower realisation that something was wrong, leading to a deeper emotional connection with him (and Amaya) before it all started to go wrong. Maybe, if there was something already between all of them, Asha and Amaya managed to avert disaster in the first place. Or maybe they don't get together until afterwards? Or I'd love to see some fluff between king, queen and apprentice, with no hint of what's to come.
- Or maybe Magnifico rejects Asha as in canon, but she and Amaya manage to stop Magnifico from ever using the book, and his downfall isn't quite as spectacular? Leading to a slightly less angsty triad.
- Maybe Magnifico does use the book, and becomes corrupted by green magic, but Amaya and Asha don't give up on him - instead they break its influence over him, rescuing him from its control. But a repentant Magnifico still has to live with what he did, and find his new place with them now that Amaya is queen and Asha is the one granting wishes. (Did he ever grant his own wish? What is it?)
- Or maybe the green magic isn't the only kind of magic that has a negative effect. Maybe the weight of all those wishes, powered by an entire kingdom's deepest dreams, has actually been wearing Magnifico down all along? Like, not only does he promise that he'll protect the wishes at all costs, he sings that he's mesmerised by the hold they have over him. What if Amaya and/or Asha realised something was going on, and managed to save him from it, before he turned to darkness? Even if it meant him giving up (or heavily reducing) his use of wish magic.
- I'd also love some smut for them. How do they deal with the mechanics of three people - do they burst into laughter when someone (nearly) falls out of bed? Is Asha a virgin? Maybe Amaya and Magnifico gently guide her through her first time. Or show me a scene where they're already comfortable with their knowledge of each other. However you want to arrange them - any combination of fingering, handjob, cunnilingus, cocksucking, vaginal... Does one of the women ever wear a strap-on to peg Magnifico? Or each other?

Amaya/Magnifico of Rosas
I loved the soft relationship these two had. Calm, confident, practical Amaya organising things to smooth Magnifico's work, but also gently steering and comforting him when he's tempted by darkness. Focused, arrogant, brilliant Magnifico dazzling his subjects, but revealing a softer and more vulnerable side when alone with his wife, happily taking her advice.
Despite his downfall, I do believe he really loved her, so I'd prefer them to be happily together at the end of the work - even if things are complicated. I DNW breakups, so I don't want to see her abandon him because the book has turned him irreversibly evil. But Magnifico using the book and Amaya freeing him from its influence, resulting in an angsty situation with a penitent Magnifico, is totally fine. Also pre-canon angst or hurt/comfort, where their relationship is loving but the surrounding situation is more bittersweet. But I'd also love some fluff!
Narrative Prompts
- Something set during the early years of building Rosas: working hard together to build this new kingdom, taking strength from each other as they deal with the setbacks, or enjoying the first fruits of their work as the community grows and starts to produce wonderful food, create new songs, throw festivals, etc.
- Amaya comforts Magnifico after he has a nightmare about his family - cradling him close, whispering soothing words, stroking his hair as she helps him calm down.
- Some fluff about a quiet moment together during a normal day: sharing a meal in their quarters, or maybe having a picnic, laughing and dancing together when nobody's looking, Magnifico amusing Amaya with some magic, stealing a few kisses...
- What was the journey to Rosas like? Was it a perilous adventure that needed teamwork and magic to survive a storm? Was it a calm journey, but with an undercurrent of worries about how they were going to manage? How did they even make the decision to undertake such a big project to begin with?
- Amaya helping Magnifico relax when he gets overwhelmed by the stress of being king, of dealing with all these wishes. Could be early on, when they were both new to it, or much later, when it had become a long grind over years. Maybe a missing scene?
- Magnifico uses the book, but the green magic doesn't corrupt him permanently. Maybe an AU, where Amaya (with Asha's help?) frees him from its clutches, and a penitent Magnifico has to live with the consequences of what he did - trying to repair his relationship with new queen Amaya as well as earn forgiveness from the citizens of Rosas. Maybe he even loses his magic because of it? Or he still gets trapped in the mirror, but Amaya doesn't give up on him, and eventually finds a way to free him and break the corruption's hold?
- I'd love some fluffy smut for these two. What was their first time like? Did they wait until marriage, or sneak some time alone together before that? Or show me them making love years down the line, still passionate about each other, with a thorough knowledge of each other's likes. Maybe Magnifico is as attentive in studying Amaya's body as he was in studying magic, and thanks her for her tireless support with regular mindblowing orgasms?
- They'd also be a really interesting couple for some dom/sub play, whichever way the roles are assigned. Maybe king Magnifico likes to continue his rule into the bedroom, taking charge of Amaya and her pleasure, pushing her to obey before making all her wishes come true. Or maybe he wants to relax by ceding control - and Amaya is happy to take charge, praising him for being a good boy who follows all her orders. Bondage, kneeling, orgasm delay, pegging, collaring, etc all welcome.
- Maybe Magnifico is an omega and thoroughly resents it, and Amaya has to help him hide it from the citizens. Can he use magic to disguise his scent - but loves the moments alone, at the end of the day, where he can press close and inhale her alpha scent? Can he use magic to suppress his heats - but maybe it's not foolproof, especially if he's been granting wishes? Maybe alpha Amaya has to tend to her desperate husband? (Equally fine with her having a knotting cock or a vagina that clamps/reverse knots.)

Asha/Magnifico of Rosas
I enjoyed this film, but it left me craving more of certain ideas. Mainly an apprentice Asha AU, Magnifico being softer - or Magnifico being even worse.
I kinda felt like they couldn't decide what Magnifico's motivation was. Like whether he was a purely evil villain powered by arrogance and a need for control, or whether he was a sympathetic antagonist crushed by the pressure of kingship and past trauma. I would love something that grabbed either idea with both hands and committed to it fully. Even if he's a misguided good guy that genuinely cares, feel free to make him arrogant and a bit manipulative - or to turn those traits to the max if he's evil.
Between Asha's interview and them duetting on what was basically a love song, I both shipped these two and really wanted to see them as mentor/apprentice. I love Asha's determination, her compassion, her righteousness, and her quirky goofiness - but if your work suits her being more serious, that's fine. Apprentice AU, canon plotline, or other canon divergence are all welcome.
Please either make this an AU where Asha is already 18, or have a time skip so she's an adult. And please either give Magnifico and Amaya an open relationship, or make it an AU where they were never a couple... Unless you're going with fully evil, corrupted by green magic Magnifico, in which case I'm fine with him cheating on Amaya and/or nonconning Asha. Otherwise, dubcon or consensual, please.
(If Magnifico's a sympathetic figure who turns to darkness, please leave the door open for redemption. But fully evil Magnifico doesn't need redemption - in fact, I'm fine with a Villain Wins AU.)
Narrative Prompts
- That apprentice AU... Maybe some fluff as Asha helps Magnifico with a spell, or makes him some tea, or maybe he shows her how to do a little magic. Hurt/comfort maybe, when a spell backfires and Asha's injured, and Magnifico tends to her? Or some angst after Asha's been his apprentice for months, as she starts to realise something's not right - what would change if Magnifico was someone she had feelings for?
- Maybe Magnifico escapes from the mirror, and Asha has to stop him a second time, leading to a frisson between them. Or a new threat arises, and Asha can only defeat it with help from her old enemy. Or maybe an AU where Asha (and Amaya?) free him from the green magic's corruption - and a repentant Magnifico has to live with what he did. How does he interact with Asha now she's the one using magic to grant wishes?
- What if Asha didn't discover the truth about the wishes before she turned 18? What would her wish be? Is it something Magnifico would be happy to grant? Or maybe something - like "helping Rosas" - that's just vague enough that he could twist it into Asha serving him? (If he did, how would she ever realise what he was really doing?) Or would he never grant her wish?
- Maybe the green magic isn't the only kind of magic that has a negative effect. Maybe the weight of all those wishes, powered by an entire kingdom's deepest dreams, has actually been wearing Magnifico down all along? Like, not only does he promise that he'll protect the wishes at all costs, he sings that he's mesmerised by the hold they have over him. What if Asha realised something was going on, and she (and Amaya?) managed to save him from it, before he turned to darkness? Even if it meant him giving up (or heavily reducing) his use of wish magic.
- Maybe Asha becomes his apprentice, and Magnifico asks for her help casting a spell. But the spell requires intimate contact between them (kissing, touching, maybe even sex) and Asha would have to trust Magnifico with it. Is this a legitimate request from a good-hearted but arrogant Magnifico trying a powerful spell that's beyond him alone? Or is this just a manipulation tactic from a secretly evil Magnifico, who's taken an unhealthy interest in Asha?
- What about a Villain Wins AU? Similar to the climax with them both on top of the tower, Magnifico uses those green magic hands to throw Asha around/pin her down/cause her pain. Or maybe he imprisons her in the dungeon, visiting her to gloat. Maybe the menace even blurs into sexual tension as he leans in close...
- Another apprentice AU idea: a magical mishap results in them being doused with cuddle pollen or kissing pollen. Magnifico is gently apologetic as he guides Asha through the intimate cure, crossing lines they've never crossed before. (If this is evil Magnifico, maybe he's manipulating her into agreeing to more than she's comfortable with - or maybe the mishap wasn't an accident, and he dosed them on purpose.)
- Or maybe a spell goes wrong - whether it's an apprentice AU, Magnifico's magic interacting with Star's wand, or due to the green magic - and Asha (or both of them) gets doused in sex pollen instead. Does Magnifico have to gently guide his desperate apprentice through losing her virginity? Is this a frantic fuck between enemies? Does Asha try to resist the aching desire, even as Magnifico urges her to give in?
- Omega Asha goes into heat while serving as Magnifico's apprentice, and he helps her through it. Is he a gentle alpha who holds her close, letting her smell his calming scent, only giving non-sexual comfort? A firm but caring alpha who takes charge and guides her through being knotted for the first time? Or a supposedly kind alpha who's subtly manipulating her into things she's not entirely comfortable with? (Did he even tamper with her heat suppressants?)
- Maybe a victorious, fully corrupted Magnifico decides to take what he wants from Asha, and noncons her - whether she's locked in the dungeon, restrained by green magic, or pinned as he holds her down and forces himself on her.
Visual Prompts
- Asha smoothing Magnifico's hair back into place.
