The Adventure Zone

Characters: Aubrey Little

I was admittedly not super into Amnesty at first, Balance will always hold a special place in my heart but after a couple episodes seeing how both the boys and their characters/Griffin's storytelling have gotten better, I came to really really enjoy Amnesty and I'm so intrigued by where it seems to be going so far. I have absolutely no qualms about receiving fic that might be jossed by future canon developments so don't worry about any of that!

One of my favorite parts is how much fun Travis seems to be having playing Aubrey. He obviously adores her and I love her personality with all my heart. It also means a ridiculous amount to me as a Puerto Rican dyke that Aubrey is both Puerto Rican and also into women (being nervous around girls is a Mood).

Aubrey

• Aubrey's childhood. What little we got from flashbacks really intrigued me, especially the knowledge that she was very academically gifted and grew up being well off.

• What's Aubrey's day to day in the lodge like? What sort of stuff does she get up to with the other sylphs.

• I would love something with Aubrey and Mama interacting some more. I really do like their relationship and how Aubrey sees her as someone to lean on. Maybe the two of them are for some reason separated and have to rely on each other? (I do ship them so feel free to incorporate that.)

Dani/Aubrey

• First date shenanigans with Dani. Aubrey is just the most nervous and awkward while Dani finds it cute. Bonus points for their date getting interrupted by the other Pine Guard members (or one of the Sylphs, maybe Jake Coolice invites himself as a third wheel?), an abom, or accidental magic from Aubrey.

• For whatever reason Dani needs to accompany the Pine Guard while on a hunt. Aubrey's magic is wonky because oh no cute girl and the team teases her about it. How does the hunt go? Does Dani surprise the team by being good at fighting?

• Smut is always good. Maybe Aubrey can incorporate some magic into sex or Dani gets real vampirey.

Curse of Strahd

Characters: Strahd von Zarovich, Ireena Kolyana

I really enjoy gothic horror and think that Curse of Strahd does an awesome job at getting it across. IMO, it's the best modules (for 5e) in terms of writing and how much enjoyment I've gotten out of playing and DMing it. I love how awful Strahd is a human (?) being tbh.

Strahd von Zarovich

• Fic of Strahd and Sergei! If you've ever read I, Strahd (i included a link to its contents, 5e contradicts some of this lore) the relationship between Strahd and Sergei is great. If you haven't feel free to ignore it and base off of your own headcanon. Even though his murder is what kickstarts literally everything, Strahd clearly cared and still cares about Sergei. (I also do ship Strahd/Sergei so if you would be interested in writing that I'm not saying no.)

• What other evil fun stuff has Strahd gotten up to in Barovia? I'd love something about some of his exploits with the adventurers he's pulled into his realm across the years. What cruelty has he gotten up to? What does he do aside from mope in his castle?

• More of Strahd's life pre-vampiring. A lot of this is covered in I, Strahd but I would love to see a different take. Or, if you're familiar with I, Strahd, I do really love the relationship between Strahd and Alek (they're so shippy) and would love to read some more between them.

• Given that Esher is in his basement and is implied to be one his playthings has he ever taken another male adventurer as a lover?

• I personally run CoS with a genderbent lesbian Strahd. How does she differ from original flavor Strahd? What was her life like?

Strahd von Zarovich/Ireena Kolyana

(All of these prompts are for genderbent!Strahd/Ireena)

• Strahd manages to corrupt Ireena. How does this go down?


• At the beginning of the module, Ireena tells the players that Strahd has been visiting her at night in order to seduce her with the intent of eventually turning her. What exactly does Strahd do to seduce her? How does Ireena react?

• Smut. I am absolutely here for whatever debauched sex Strahd and Ireena have and how that sex happens. Feel free to incorporate the usual vampire kinks (bloodplay, breathplay, shows of strength, etc...) I'm happy with any level of consent as long as Ireena still enjoys herself despite maybe not wanting to.

American Horror Story: Hotel

Characters: James Patrick Marsh, John Lowe

I have a love/hate relationship with AHS in general but Hotel will always be my favorite season. It was the best campy gorey drama that I watch AHS for. I was also beyond overjoyed to see JPM appear in AHS again even if it was just card games with Queenie lol.

John Lowe/James Patrick Marsh

• John manages to actually die close enough to the Cortez for it to count and gets to hang out with his ghost boyfriend forever instead of just Devil's Night. What ghost shenanigans do the two of them get up to? Scaring the guests, fucking in every room, and generally being a nuisance. I especially would love to see what they'd get up to during Devil's Night, it's one of my favorite episodes of the season. I loved them interacting with James' other proteges.

• Exploring the 5 years of JPM and John talking that we didn't get to see in canon. How did that first talk where the two of them discussed philosophy for 3 days straight go? Did James ever come onto John? I just really really want to know how that murder seduction went. One of my favorite parts of canon was seeing John gradually embrace losing his semblance of control and slipping into the more murderous part of his personality and seeing JPM encourage him for his own amusement.

• I am also 100% down for weird ghost sex, especially playing up the more macabre/body horror elements. Blood everywhere, hallucinatory gore, breathplay, and more. I think that between the two of them sex would be pretty wrapped up in murder. Maybe they have sex every time John kills someone because they're riding the high of a successful murder?

Guild Wars 2

Characters: Male/Female Pact Commander, Caithe, Canach

I prefer sylvari!Commanders but I'm cool with any race but Asura.

Male or Female Pact Commander

• The commander has a day to themself. No dragons, awakened, forged, or gods to worry about. How do they handle having a day off? Are they extremely uncomfortable/anxious because they're unused to such a thing?

• I really really liked Joko's speech during his final cutscene. The game does give hints that the everything is taking its toll on the commander and what he says must have cut pretty deep. I would love to see something exploring that. Maybe the commander feels awful for all those who have died for them? Or, feels like a failure for not being able to save certain people? (Trahearne?)

Caithe

• How does Caithe mourn Faolain. We see so little of her reaction once she's dead but I think that Caithe being someone who is both very private and guarded would wait until she's alone to let herself feel?

Caithe/Faolain

• Bad End!AU where the Commander and Caithe didn't manage to reunite Destiny's Edge, and despite the Commander and Trahearne's pleas that it could still work even without the whole team back together, Caithe just falls into a depression and wanders off, nobody knows where she's gone, even the Pale Tree can't seem to track her down. Caithe is with Faolain who gave her the same talk about "let's just stay together while the world ends" speech from that dream of Orr and they decide to make the best of their remaining time together.

• Or, Faolain Lives/Is Alive!AU where Caithe is both relieved and wary that Faolain is alive (again), somehow she's managed to escape Maguma and find Caithe (either she was reborn, magic did it, or whatever you feel like choosing). Could be sweet, bittersweet, or whatever direction you want to take it.

• Good old fashioned hatesex between the two of them, set pre-HoT.

• Pre-canon!fic. I'm open for anything detailing their relationship before it went to shit and sort of Caithe observing Faolain's darkside but loving her anyway. Another potential idea I like is Caithe embracing the Nightmare Court and staying at Faolain's side as murder gfs.

Canach/Male Commander

• Canach and sylvari!Commander flirting and sparring, trying to keep their minds off the siren song of Mordremoth and focus on something else instead (someone gets slammed into the wall/ground at least once, maybe smut ensues?).

• Post-HoT where Canach has some mild hero worship, since he's very impressed that someone like the commander managed to take on Mordremoth (bonus points if the commander is also a sylvari so he's doubly impressed they managed to resist Mordremoth).

• Post-PoF where Canach is one of the only people to realize how much the Commander is losing it due to stress and comforts him the best way he can.

• Immediately post-HoT, celebrating the defeat of Mordremoth. The two of them are exhausted, leaning on each other literally and emotionally.

• The Commander takes Canach to visit baby!Aurene, since she needs to be socialized and would benefit from even meeting a grump like Canach (and it's also totally not because he has a crush and wants Aurene to meet him.) Canach tries and fails not to find Aurene adorable.

• Beach vacation! Southsun Cove actually manages to be cleared of karka and becomes a nice vacation spot to visit. Everyone decides to have a nice relaxing week after everything, Canach is somehow allowed back within a 10 mile vicinity.

Shadowrun: Dragonfall

Characters: Glory, Protagonist, Monika Schafer

Glory/Female Protagonist

• What if you don't help her? I liked the hints of the return of toxic!Glory. What would a F!PC who's in a relationship do?


• Slowburn. Glory doesn't trust easily and is extremely closed off. After the death of Monika she's extremely reluctant to let anyone in but somehow the F!PC manages to break through. Though after Marta she thinks she'll never love another woman again.


• FWBs to lovers. Though Glory doesn't feel like she can love again, there exists an undeniable attraction between her and the F!PC. They have sex and slowly Glory opens up.


• I'm also up for anything dealing with post-canon, especially after the flux state is no more.

Monika Schäfer/Female Protagonist

• I liked that as a female protagonist you could explicitly state that Monika was an ex. What was her and the PCs relationship like together? How did they grow apart and break up. Did the PC still have lingering feelings that were made only worse once Monika dies?

• How does the PC react to APEX's role in Monika's death and APEX impersonating Monika?

Shadowrun: Hong Kong

Characters: Protagonist, Duncan Wu, Is0bel, Gobbet

Duncan and Protagonist

• How did the two of them meet and end up getting adopted together? How was it like being raised by Raymond? Some more stories about their pre-Raymond antics or antics growing up with Raymond would be neat.

• I would also love a post-Bonus campaign AU where Duncan reluctantly stays with the MC when they decide to stay in the Shadows. How does that pan out? Do they feel guilty about making Duncan go along with a life that he isn't really suited for and doesn't want to be in.

• Or post-bonus campaign where the MC goes back to Seattle with Duncan. What happens after they've got their security company set up? Do they miss the old crew and running the shadows? Maybe the secretly take jobs without Duncan knowing?

Duncan/Male Protagonist

• M!PC has been carrying a torch forever, they've had a crush on Duncan ever since they were kids and being jailed for 8 years did nothing to help this, if anything absence made the heart fonder. Their feelings for Duncan during the game are a bit complicated because: Oh god Duncan is hot now, Duncan is kind of an asshole, and they still have complicated feelings about being apart for 8 years not to mention the whole "wanted to for crimes they didn't commit" thing.

• Size kink + PC admiring Duncan's muscles is A+.

• I love the directions you can take your PC's relationship with Duncan in the game. I'd love to read the two of them in between missions just snarking/arguing with each other like siblings do or reminiscing about old times.

• I would also love something that details how the two of them first met, before Raymond. Or more of their life with Raymond before the PC is arrested.

Gobbet/Isobel

• After a particularly risky mission from Kindly Cheng where Gobbet almost doesn't make it back Is0bel is having a panic attack because oh god gobbet almost DIED. She then realizes just how much Gobbet means to her - how they've been together for each other through thick and thin: from rescuing her from the Walled city, to working in a triad together, and everything. Is0bel doesn't really have the confidence or emotional openness to tell her she loves her though so she just pines, or maybe she confesses?

• FWBs that leads to feelings. Gobbet is not good with feelings, neither is Is0bel. They both care for each other but don't really know how to be open emotionally. How does this play out. Especially when Is0bel gets her memories back. I like the idea of them having a very casual relationship where they don't say much about their feelings but how much they care about each other is fairly obvious.

• Sick fic. Gobbet finally falls ill after eating something that was too gross for even her iron stomach to handle. Luckily Is0bel is there to take care of her.

• Thank god we're alive sex post-Qian Ya fight, where the two of them are still pumped up on adrenaline and are so happy to see each other because they are loving girlfriends who love each other.

• Pre-canon fic. Any particularly memorable runs, hanging out with each other, casual movie nights, etc...

Gobbet & Duncan

• I enjoy every bit of their interactions as two people with very clashing personalities. I would love for anything with these two palling around or going on a run together.
