Smut likes

General themes I particularly like:

• Un(der)negotiated kink & kink discovery (as long as it’s not DNW’d, it doesn’t matter which specific kink it is)
• Porn as character study
• Top or dom POV & bottom or sub POV
• Unresolved emotional tension & pining while fucking

• Same-generation incest
• Dubcon
• Characters who have (and like their) nullified genitals (whether natal/surgical/magical)

  • *or kink or incestuous relationship

Specific acts or kinks I particularly like:

• Voyeurism of any type
• Watersports
  • Particularly pissing inside someone anally or vaginally, submissive wetting (including in non-omegaverse settings), and kinking on the sensation of pissing or watching someone else do so
• Proxy sex (examples for requested pairing A/B, where C is either a canonical character or an OC):
  • A has sex with C while thinking about B
  • an A/B/C threesome has C in the middle as an excuse to legitimize the sex A/B are(n’t) having
  • A or C is monitoring and/or directing the couple having sex, including physically maneuvering them

Opt-ins

• Some requested characters in a pairing present in thought only (including because they are dead, if they also died in canon)

• Sex with sapient animals, or with a shapeshifter in animal form
• Vomiting (sexual or non-sexual)
• Infidelity (not between nominated pairing)
• Mentions or discussions of past canonical relationships

The Elric Saga

Arioch/Elric

I love Arioch; he's so amoral and delightful. Please subject Elric to him, in whatever form that takes. I particularly like the tension over Elric's loyalty, where he is very dependent on Arioch but not enthusiastic in his loyalty, while Arioch finds him amusing to toy with. I will never be over the fact that Arioch canonically calls him "surely the sweetest of all my slaves" and Elric is constantly describing Arioch as beautiful even when he's otherwise all business. I am very into Arioch forcing Elric to admit who he belongs to or otherwise perform loyalty, particularly in a public setting or in front of Elric's allies.

Noncon, omegaverse, and trans characters are more than welcome in this request!

Guardian (TV)

Shen Wei/Ye Zun/Zhao Yunlan

Ye Zun is so intense about Shen Wei and Shen Wei is so intense about both of them; I would love to see those dynamics combine. Ye Zun flirts with Zhao Yunlan as Shen Wei — what would he do if Zhao Yunlan kept flirting back? I'd love a canon divergent "things ended fine actually" AU as a jumping off point. What's the catalyst? How are Shen Wei and Ye Zun learning to reconnect? How does Zhao Yunlan react to it?

The Inheritance Cycle

Eragon/Murtagh

There are so many flavors of relationship between these two over the course of the series, and all of them are good. Their initial roadtrip is the happiest point between them for a while, and then there are so many complicated feelings after Murtagh is captured/defects and they realize they’re related. I also adore how psyched Eragon is for Murtagh to come stay with him at the end of the book Murtagh.

I really enjoy how scared Murtagh is throughout much of the series and how mean it can make him, even as he’s still desperate for Eragon to recognize him as a brother. Likewise, I enjoy how Eragon is extremely adaptable to basically whatever the series throws at him. I’m open to any level of involvement for Saphira and Thorn short of actual sexual contact between humans and dragons; I really enjoy the psychic dragon bond and my favorite flavor of it is "platonic but extremely intense and weird to outsiders." (Background Saphira/Thorn is okay to include.)

I am also fascinated by an AU where they were both raised as Morzan's sons in Galbatorix's court (whether or not Eragon's actual parentage is any different). How does it alter their dynamic? Do either of them become Riders?

Omegaverse is welcome for this pairing.

Mysterious Lotus Casebook

Di Feisheng/Fang Duobing/Li Lianhua

I love every arm of this triangle! I’m definitely open to a proxy sex dynamic where technically only two of them are involved at the point when the fic is set, but the third one is definitely Present in their thoughts. I’m open to any tone for this, from zany case solving to stumbling into kink which may or may not involve sex to serious angst. I just really like how they interact with each other, both as pairs and as a trio, and I’d love to see more of it.

The Silmarillion

Celegorm/Curufin

I'd be interested in any era for these two (Years of the Trees, early First Age, Nargothrond, post-Nargothrond pre-Doriath, post-death Valinor) and any tone that feels appropriate. I'm very interested in how they work as a pair from the beginning in a way that doesn't happen for anyone except the Ambarussa until a lot more trauma has happened; they seem conscious of what they'll do for the Oath a lot sooner than their other brothers. Is the loyalty between them ever tested?

I’d also be really intrigued by an incestuous but nonsexual kink relationship. What’s their journey towards kink discovery?

Celegorm/Dior(/Curufin)

I am so intrigued by them! They’re all well-matched enough to kill each other (and there’s so much history and pre-existing sexual obsession between them and Dior’s parents, which I imagine Dior certainly feels heavily). I'd love something where sex is an extension of politics and the tension between the Noldor and the Sindar. For this, I’d prefer Dior to be over the age of majority (though I’m fine with his relative youth/inexperience being played up), though I really don’t have a preference towards consensual sex or dubcon.

If it is consensual, my big question is: How? How did they get here? Did someone have the bright idea to attempt an arranged marriage to stabilize the political situation prior to the second kinslaying (which...worked, somehow)? Have they all been re-embodied in Valinor and are now working out their issues in a way the Valar probably didn't predict?

Celegorm/Curufin/Finrod

Ah, the Nargothrond Bad Idea Polycule. Are Celegorm and Curufin already together, or is Finrod the catalyst? I love political undertones and the claustrophobia of the city, as well as familial tension and grudges being (un)addressed in the worst way possible. If LACE applies here, can Finrod and Celegorm have sex with each other, or does Curufin have to act as intermediary (since he's already married)? I’m also happy with a Years of the Trees or Fourth Age Valinor setting!

Feanor/Fingolfin

I would really love this to lean into the complicated mess of family dynamics happening here, and particularly if things were left in a (largely) unresolved, unfixed place. I'm very into "sex as politics" for the Silmarillion generally, and that's particularly true here. I'm primarily interested in the Years of the Trees before they leave Valinor (either when tensions are rising or before). Certainly they both have reasons to (not) act on their desires: what happens that allows it?

Do they both have kids at this point? Is Fingolfin around the same age as Maedhros, or is he closer in age to Feanor? (I'm very happy with either or a secret third thing as an answer; Feanor's nearly an adult when Fingolfin is born, but also Maedhros and Fingon are implied to be relatively close in age.) I find it intriguing that Fingolfin is the sibling Feanor fixates on, when he isn't Finwe and Indis's firstborn. Is it because he's their first boy? Is it because of Fingolfin's personality?

Maedhros/Maglor

They're the last two of Feanor's sons standing, and I imagine that cannot have done great things for their relationship. What prompts them getting together? How does the rest of the family feel about it (if there is a 'rest of the family' at that point)? This is also a pairing I'm particularly open to "looking back and reflecting while separated by death" for. I would be equally happy with fluffy sex/romance (particularly during the Years of the Trees) and grim, "we’ve already done so much worse so how big of a deal is incest really?"-flavored sex/romance.

The Time Master Series

Tarod/Yandros

Link to my Candy Hearts promo post for this series and where to find the books.

This is a dynamic that drives me completely insane. The supposed villain going “we’re two sides of the same coin, you’re more like me than you think, you’ll understand eventually,” and then he’s just actually right. (Not in every aspect, admittedly! But the personal ones.) The entire time I was reading this series, I was expecting a third act betrayal from Yandros, and I am so charmed that did not happen. Yandros ultimately chooses Tarod and defers to his decision, even though he doesn’t necessarily agree with it.

I'd love to see Yandros's perspective on any of the scenes where he's talking to Tarod and isn't managing to win him over; I imagine it must be very frustrating. He’s fairly restrained about how much he misses Tarod in canon, but it’s such a disturbing and relatively long-lasting separation, compared to what they've done before. I also think there's a lot of potential for interaction in the time between books one and two, where Tarod has trapped himself in a completely empty castle that he's wrenched out of time. They literally can't get the plot moving, so what else is there to do?

I very much enjoy watching Tarod wrestle with his morality, and I would take truly so many words of it. If Yandros ever does decide to try seduction (whether or not he’s told Tarod that they’re siblings), how does Tarod take it? I would love to see him muddling through confused feelings, particularly if dream sex or shapeshifting is involved.

Post- (or pre-)canon with them both as gods is welcome as well. What are they like when there’s no misunderstandings? (If you’re interested in writing smut, I think they have had the absolute weirdest sex, at least half of which is completely unintelligible to the human brain as such.)

I love outside POV and this is a canon I think it works very well for, as humans either don’t remember or understand much about Yandros and Tarod (either as people or as gods). I think we should toss (confirmed? rumored?) incest/displays of affection into the mix and see what happens.

Finally, I think this is a setting that would be really interesting to have externalized souls in (whether through daemons or soulmarks or something else), considering that Tarod's soul is already in his ring. Would he have an additional one as a human? If not, how does that affect his immersion into the Order, when there's something much more concrete to point to as 'something is wrong with this guy' aside from being vaguely unsettling and weirdly powerful?

I have read both the prequel and sequel trilogies as well, so feel free to pull in canon from there if it's helpful and don’t worry about it if it isn’t. (I particularly enjoyed Yandros and Tarod attending human parties incognito together at the beginning of Star Ascendant.)
