Dear Chocolatier 2019
Exchange letter for Chocolate Box 2019 (https://archiveofourown.org/collections/chocolatebox2019)!
DNWs: I am an omnivorous reader; I'd love it if you wrote to my prompts, but feel free to go wild! I have no qualms reading alternative formats, first/second POV, epistolary, &c. My only request is to avoid daddy kink (I adore age gaps, but please avoid daddy terminology).
Likes:
Gen: complicated friendships/relationships, competence porn!
Porn: age gap, bondage/restraints, dirty talk, power differentials, spanking.
For artists: feel free to take anything from the generic prompts, or to go your own way. I've tried to provide art-y prompts wherever possible, but I'm - alas! - not a great visual thinker.
Any
Be my hero. Write or draw me anything in the Culture: you can't go wrong.
Cheradenine Zakalwe/GOU Falling Outside the Normal Moral Constraints (The Culture)
Cheradenine Zakalwe & GOU Falling Outside the Normal Moral Constraints (The Culture)
Grouping both gen and ship requests; I'll adore anything you come up with.
* Zakalwe on a mission with S.C. and FOTNMC (in Demeisen or ship form) helps out. Bonus points if S.C. has them on artificially opposed sides.
* Demeisen and Zakalwe talk shit-kicking business - tactics, military inventories, strategy, whatever.
* Zakalwe gets incorporated into/becomes a Mind and put into an Abominator class - Demeisen helps him get used to the new digs. Or gets insanely jealous.
* Porn: Zakalwe and Demeisen and chairs and rope. Sex optional but invited.
Art:
* Demeisen mirroring Zakalwe in appearance - what's different?
* Zakalwe and Demeisen chilling in a war club
GOU Falling Outside The Normal Moral Constraints/Lededje Y'breq (The Culture)
Fic:
* Porn: Demeisen experiments with tattoos; Led advises
* FOTNMC, en route to a new posting, stops by and visits Led - and superpowers her toy boating arena
Art:
* TATTOOS FOR EVERYONE
* Led asleep on the FOTNMC, cradled up
* FOTNMC sends Led a gift basket. Contents negotiable (dildos? guns?).
For all ships: age gaps and clothing porn: you can't go wrong. Write me anything that involves biting, using thralls for Good Or Bad Or Chaotic purposes, power dynamic shifts, and dirty deeds in the dark. While I'd prefer M/M, feel free to spin the roulette wheel - F/F, F/M, XENO EVERYWHERE, I'll love it all.
Since I'm basically squickless, aside from the DNW on daddy kink mention below, here is overt permission for: bloodplay, dubcon, nibbling of human bits, age gaps till the end of the earth &c. That said, if noncon is involved, please have the conclusion be less than totally despairing if writing fic - artists, go mad (with power).
I'd especially like it if the human/younger member of the pair exhibits their own strengths (it doesn't need to be much! Strength of will? Sass?) so that it's something of a challenge for the vampiric/older person in the ship.
GO HOG WILD on vampire mythos world build: I don't mind sunwalking vampires or vampires who are only vampires because they need to drink blood; I also would be pumped to see vampires who have to navigate LOTS of rules/strange constraints on their behaviour.
Art-wise: I love dark tones and gold when it comes to the mythological. Portraits especially would be cool to see for any of the Tailor prompts - the client in a large plush chair, the tailor standing behind....
Male Vampire Tailor/Teen Neerdowell Trying To Turn His Life Around
* Neerdowell's first suit... and how he earns it
* Neerdowell turns out to be good at running front of house for a tailor shop
Tailor To The Supernatural/Rich Vampire Client
* Tailor gently introduces his client to how his skills have developed... after seeing him for the first time in 20 years.
* Vampire sends tailor many gifts that are inappropriate for vampires to send - shears made of silver, lots of salt and iron, plane tickets to places over running water...
Vampire Bodyguard/Rich Corporation Owner
* Vampire bodyguard has to guard Rich Corp Owner... in a nightclub. There are many temptations. Some he doesn't resist
* They have an Agreement with each other on the vampire using the corp owner as a food source - and have fun with it. What's it like to bite someone who's high, anyway?
Male Vampire Tailor/Male Spy Who's Purchased Many a Bespoke Suit from Him Over the Years
* Vampire angel of death visits Spy, who is old enough he's thinking of retiring. Permanently. Does that mean he wants to die, or to become undead? WHO KNOWS.
* All the little tells that the Tailor sews onto the Spy's stuff to let him know he cares (TM)
Aral Vorkosigan (Vorkosigan)/Therem Harth rem ir Estraven (LHoD)
AND NOW FOR SOMETHING TOTALLY DIFFERENT. AU in which Estraven becomes an Ekumenical envoy and visits Barrayar, perhaps? Him and Aral talking politics, whether in a tac room or in the bedroom. Estraven trying to pick Barrayaran colours for a Ekumen uniform? Or, in reverse, Aral becomes an ambassador to Gethen and has Serious Talks about shifgrethor.
* Estraven coming to Barrayar... and having to learn to martially defend himself/ride a horse/adapt to warm weather because it's Barrayar. Aral teaches.
Art:
* Estraven seeing summer or spring at Vorkosigan House for the first time
* Aral drawing Estraven
Usami Akihiko/Ogata Seiji
The two of them at a swinger's club, or a smoking club? Meeting at a rich person's poncy dinner and hooking up in the bathroom? Or maybe Akihiko is researching a new book on Go, and commissions Ogata for some in-house lessons?
* Or perhaps an excerpt from Akihiko's latest BL book... about a Go player suspiciously like Ogata?
Art:
* Akihiko and Ogata in formal attire playing exhibition Go together
* Akihiko gifting Ogata a set of Go stones or a go-ban
Fuji Shuusuke (Prince of Tennis) & Shindou Hikaru/Touya Akira (HnG)
I love me some Self-aware Genius Who Wants To See The World Burn watching two clueless geniuses. Anything where Fuji messes with them (setting them up? adding fuel to their rivalry?) would be wondrous. Maybe he picks up Go just to do this. Maybe he's older and the HnG boys are still in their teens. Or maybe they're all middle-aged and wreaking havoc on the Ki-in. Up to you!
* Sai is still around; Fuji can see him. What do they do to get Shindou and Touya to come to their, ah, senses?
Art:
* Fuji makes them play tennis. Hilarity ensues.
* Fuji in formals watching the two play Go, with him able to see Sai.
Ah, Vorkosigan. The more complex the relationship, the better, right? If you want to write something AGONISING AND PAINFUL, go right ahead: I want to see Aral before Cordelia, fighting his way through his, ah, life choices.
For Aral/Ges: tell me about what made Aral want to get involved with Ges in the first place - I'd love to see something of their relationship beyond Aral making bad drunken choices. It doesn't need to redeem Ges, but I'd love more insight into what made Aral want him. Alternatively: how does Aral spurn him, once they split apart? How do they navigation their professional and political relationship?
For Aral & Piotr: tell me about when Piotr finds out about Ges, and what he does then. Or Piotr's view of Aral over the years - pride? Despair?
Aral Vorkosigan/Ges Vorrutyer
* Post-breakup: Vorkosigan versus Vorrutyer in a tactical war room
* Pre-breakup: Aral being happy with Ges, for whatever reason
* Ges finds Aral's sketches for the first time
* Porn: what does Ges bring out in Aral in the bedroom?
Art:
* Piles of mixed up Vorrutyer and Vorkosigan clothes on the ground. People need not even show up if you don't want them to!
* Any mixing of the house colours
* Ges Abuses Military Uniforms For Great Profit
Aral Vorkosigan & Piotr Vorkosigan
* Piotr at any point of any one of Aral's milestones: when he makes Admiral, when he gets broken back, when he meets Ges, when he breaks up with Ges.
* Aral losing his temper at Piotr... and winning
* Aral losing his temper at Piotr... and losing. Badly.
* Piotr hands something down to Aral. What is it? What sentimental value does it have?
* Outsider perspective: are they more similar than they think they are?
Art:
* Family portrait!!
* The two of them sharing a happier moment: around the horses, perhaps?
