Hello, Canon Ball creator! Welcome to the letter for laylah. I got through every other exchange this year with just the signup box, but this time around I had too much to say about all these fabulous ships. If my signup gave you enough to work with, please feel free to just take that and run! But if you want me chattering on about individual ships, read on.

General Preferences

DNWs
death of prompted characters; pregnancy/birth/children (except for monster breeding body horror, in which case any and all weird pregnancy kinks are welcome); extreme underage (postpubescent teenagers are fine); unrequested dubcon/noncon; plots about prejudice/bigotry; fic about characters' identities; humans exploiting nonhumans; scat/vomit; forced feminization/gender-based humiliation; cross-gen incest; medical kink; focus on pain/damage from penetration.

Smut likes generally
any sex act that works for your fic (exception: with tentacles/deities/physically overwhelming partners, the more penetration the better); lots of fluids (come eating, come inflation, A+); attention paid to power dynamics of whatever sort (consensual kink? real power differential the parties are trying to handle without exploitation? real power differential one of them is exploiting?); oral fixations; heat, sex pollen, aphrodisacs, similar sudden cases of desperate arousal.

Dubcon/noncon likes
I like coercion better than violence if the aggressor is capable of communicating. I like involuntary arousal/physical pleasure but I don't want that to make the violation "okay after all" (i.e., I don't want "no no yes" unless the "yes" is due to mindbreak); victims being humiliated or horrified by their own arousal/climax, A+. Mind break/sex slavery/monster breeder bad ends are good; victim escaping also good. Victim getting revenge doesn't interest me.

Genre/setting likes
I like all kinds of spec fic; I'm requesting porn but if you're inspired to worldbuild around the sex I'll enjoy that too. My favorite fantasy settings are ones with clear limits on what magic can accomplish; my favorite sci fi settings are planet-side (space travel existing, stories on colony/alien planets, fine; I'm just not drawn to the spaceship life). Most of the fantasy-flavored tags have titles from European-derived fantasy but if you want to write from a different tradition or culture please do. Also if at any point a character's species is not mentioned in the tags and you want to make them some fantasy race instead of human, you have my blessing.

cocky bastards in trouble

Ships: Ancient Technology Specialist/Unusual Defense System in Exquisite Ruin (M/other), Eldritch Monster/Monster Hunter in Way Over Their Head (Any/Any), Enchantment Technician/Malfunctioning Enchanted Castle (Any/any), Haughty Young Paladin/Crafty Old Devil (M/M), Overconfident Adventurer/Assorted Frisky Wildlife (any/any), Female Djinn/Woman Who Broke Djinn's Lamp And Must Offer Up Her Own Body As A Substitute (F/F)
Freeforms: Fic, Fantasy, Science Fantasy, Science Fiction, Smut
Warnings: No Archive Warnings Apply, Rape/Non-con

The theme of this set is "cocky bastards get in over their heads, get railed." This is one of my favorite themes for noncon, but if you're more into "cocky bastard gets in over his head, discovers he loves getting railed" I'll enjoy that too. The key elements in common here are that I want to see the human lose control of the situation and get stuffed with a lot of exciting appendages.

If you're debating an unspecified victim's gender I have a slight preference for male, but if you feel strongly about female then go for it. Just please don't make it victimization because of the victim being female (which should be easy with monstrous/completely inhuman aggressors, who likely don't have any thoughts about human genders at all).

The prompts on a lot of these are very sparse because I feel like I'm repeating myself; I want someone human-ish getting messed up sexily by something that isn't. \o/

Ancient Technology Specialist/Unusual Defense System in Exquisite Ruin

• This guy is so full of himself. Nobody knows as much about quasi-magical ancient civilization technology as he does. But even he's never seen a ruin decorated with these particular symbols before, and he's certainly never experienced a defense system with tactics like this.


• Seriously, just go full porn logic. The system is powered on intruder sex juice? Awesome. The ancients thought fucking people to exhaustion was more humane than killing? Great. The tech is sophisticated enough to keep him on the edge of orgasm until he begs for mercy? Also good. There's still-potent aphrodisiac gas in one of the first traps? Here for it.

Eldritch Monster/Monster Hunter in way Over Their Head

• Make this monster as weird as you want. Weirder than your first impulse. Go for it.


• Per the general theme, this monster hunter has seen some shit before and thinks they know how to handle shit. Think DMC Dante. Cocky badass, cleans out a dozen imp nests before breakfast, thinks this'll be just another job.


• It's not just another job.


• It's a sloppy sticky mess and a bad end would be delicious.


• Any time the prompts call for something "eldritch" I immediately expect things the other party struggles to comprehend (while still feeling horrible pleasure in them, ideally). So, you know, that.

Enchantment Technician/Malfunctioning Enchanted Castle

• What was the castle enchanted to do? Is it trying to perform its usual tasks, things like changing linens or bridling/saddling riding animals, but drastically mistaking its object? There's something appealing here about the possibility of going all Sorcerer's Apprentice but with a lot of dismayed boners.


• Related, I'm really enjoying the idea of this being tremendously impersonal, with no actual "mind" behind the castle's actions, just misapplied routines that leave our technician stripped, humiliated, stuffed, and unfortunately aroused.

Haughty Young Paladin/Crafty Old Devil

• Definitely here for "my faith will save me" running up against "what you have isn't faith, it's narcissism." Probably not in so many words, but you know.


• How about something with myth/folktale overtones of the paladin being tricked into giving up his various holy protections until he's vulnerable enough to pounce on?


• Please just humiliate this paladin and make him beg and lose control of himself, mmmmm.

Overconfident Adventurer/Assorted Frisky Wildlife

• I mean, I think really the ship speaks for itself here.


• Sentient vines, satyrs and minotaurs, wolf packs, tentacled lake monsters, giant lizards looking for warmth -- any and all wildlife encouraged to apply.


• If the idea of writing in a pulp novel voice has any appeal, I think that'd be delightful. A blustery early Jake English attitude from the adventurer would fit really nicely there.

Female Djinn/Woman Who Broke Djinn's Lamp and Must Offer Up Her Own Body as a Substitute

• Who is this woman? A princess careless with one of the palace heirlooms? A Tomb Raider-type treasure hunter who doesn't know just how special her most recent prize is until it's too late?


• What if the woman has to formally/ritually invite the djinn to occupy her (while holding some exaggerated, exposed position that leaves her accessible)?


• How corporeal is the djinn? How big is she going to feel? Does she feel the need to try out more than one potential living space before picking her favorite?


• Does the djinn lie to get these new accommodations? "Oh no, only your body will do, or else terrible things will happen~"

gifts and prizes

Ships: Ambassador/Disfigured sex slave given to him as a diplomatic insult (M/M), Empress/Victorious General/Captured Barbarian Queen (F/F/F), Half-Dragon War Hero/Beautiful Eunuch He's Given as a Reward (M/M), Imperial General Ruling a Province/Castrated Son of Fallen Noble House (M/M), Conquering Warlord/Daughter of the previous ruler (F/F)
Freeforms: Fic, Fantasy, High Fantasy, Smut
Warnings: No Archive Warnings Apply, Underage

The theme here is "people given as gifts/claimed as prizes," with all the power issues inherent in that process. I'm interested in the gift/prize being treated as valuable -- as a luxury -- and the way that leaves them simultaneously cherished and dehumanized. I didn't check the noncon warning for this because I don't want violent rape, but these ships are absolutely in that uncomfortable spot where you tick "choose not to warn" on the posting form because explaining the consent problems takes too many words. I'm interested in owners who accept this as their due as well as those who don't know how to approach owning a person, and in gifts who are nervous or afraid of what might happen to them as well as those who have been taught/conditioned to accept their role.

Ambassador/Disfigured sex slave given to him as a diplomatic insult

• This slave's lot is so rough, stripped of agency and then his "value" to his owners damaged, and now he's being used in some nasty political game. I'd really love to see the ambassador recognize that and react with compassion.


• Is this a culture where some degree of public sex is normal/expected? Will there be consequences for both parties if they don't consummate this arrangement?


• Is this a permanent arrangement or a "please, enjoy this token of our hospitality while you attend these negotiations" sort of thing? If the latter, might the ambassador look for ways to make it permanent?


• The ambassador making common cause with the slave and getting useful diplomatic information from him in exchange for helping him out of his situation? Would be excellent here.


• Also excellent, the sex being better than either of them expected. I'm a little nervous about suggesting kinking on the "disfigurement," whatever sort you go with, but I do like scars an awful lot....

Half-Dragon War Hero/Beautiful Eunuch He's Given as a Reward

• I'm here for the contrast between our aggressive, martial, literally bestial war hero and his refined, beautiful, surgically feminized prize. Each of them is from a background completely alien to the other, but perhaps that's appealing?


• What if the hero's deeds have particular significance for the eunuch? Some battle where he won acclaim kept the eunuch's hometown and family members from harm, maybe? And now he has a chance to offer his thanks personally.


• Is there a barb in this gift? i.e., would this hero have been offered the hand of a princess if he had been fully human? Does he care about that, and does he learn to stop caring?


• Please tell me about your favorite kind of dragon dick.

Imperial General Ruling a Province/Castrated Son of a Fallen Noble House

• This one's definitely about the exercise of and indulgence in power imbalance, but I would love it to bits if you could pull it off without the general needing to resort to violence to get his way.


• Coercion is great, though. The son might cooperate to spare the rest of his family from (further) harm, or because he has the choice between warming the general's bed and being passed around the barracks, or you might have another creative threat to hold over him.


• Who's the son? Was he the heir, before the house was punished, or is he a younger son who thought he'd have no more pressing responsibilities in life than chasing skirts and counting cards?


• We're almost definitely looking at an age difference here, with the general old enough to have earned that rank and the son young enough to be pretty; I'd be happy with the son anywhere from mid teens to mid twenties, as you prefer.


• If you want to suggest any kind of stockholm-type dynamic developing here, where the general is the son's source of protection (and pleasure) as well as his captor and that's hard to resist, please go for it. Yum.

Conquering Warlord/Daughter of previous ruler (F/F)

• A lot of the things about the previous imperial general prompt apply here, too: age difference, power imbalance, and I'd definitely be hot for some coercion.


• But also consider the warlord deciding that she's going to marry a member of the previous ruling family (maybe an advisor suggested it would help legitimize her rule with the local religion?), and then her specific choice is not what anyone expects.


• Also if you wanted to take this in an "Amazons seize the fertile plains from a patriarchal culture" direction, and have the warlord's attention be an awakening for the daughter in multiple ways, that could be hot too.


• But exploitation and public exposure and forced orgasms are good too, I don't want to tell you it has to be stealth feminist sexploitation.


• If you go the public exposure/sex route, I'm very much here for it being explicitly about humiliating the defeated ruler/country rather than about a more personal interest.

Empress/Victorious General/Captured Barbarian Queen

• I'm totally seeing the empress and the general as already lovers, ftr. And now the general has won this major victory and is bringing home her prize captive to offer to her beloved. It would be sweet if it weren't so exploitative!


• The barbarian queen being spirited and wilful, fighting her captors and not making it easy for them to revel in their victory: also great.


• Decadence/luxury! And the contrast between how luxury is demonstrated in the empire (fancy jewelry? fine silk?) and how it's demonstrated among the barbarians (exotic furs?). Also piercings and/or tattoos, and also different attitudes toward those things (maybe for one culture piercings are a warrior thing, and for the other they're done to slaves?).

the holy and the divine

Ships: Pleasure Goddess/Warrior Who Has Never Known Love (F/F), Kidnapped Sister/Cultist Sister who Kidnapped Her/Eldritch Monster She Worships (F/F/other), An Almost Forgotten God/His Last Worshipper (M/F), Man Being Sacrificed To A Foreign God/Foreign God/Local God Who Crashes The Party (M/Any/Any), Forgotten Evil God/Unwary Hiker Who Stumbles Upon The Ruins Of His Temple (M/Any), Long Imprisoned Ancient War God/Man Who Unwittingly Frees Him (M/M), Long Imprisoned Ancient War Goddess/Man Who Unwittingly Frees Her (F/M)
Freeforms: Fic, Smut, Darkfic, Fantasy, Horror
Warnings: No Archive Warnings Apply, Graphic Depictions of Violence, Rape/Non-Con, Underage

This batch's theme is "the holy and the divine," and I'm looking for a focus on what a mentally and emotionally overwhelming experience it is for a human to touch the divine. Maybe that's terrible, with an eldritch being out of cosmic horror; maybe it's ecstasy as a god the person believes in manifests in their life. It's just so much. It's beautiful and terrible as the dawn. But with fucking. I love looking at what faith means when gods are accessible beings whose presence a believer can actually experience, and I love the moments when a worshiper can experience joyful, uplifted-heart submission to their deity.

Pleasure Goddess/Warrior Who Has Never Known Love

• This feels to me like a great setup for hurt/comfort where the comfort is amazing sex.


• The warrior has never had love, perhaps because it was a luxury she couldn't afford, perhaps because she thought it would be a distraction from her calling -- but she knows it's a huge part of other people's lives that she's missing out on. Some days that knowledge is harder than others.


• My first thought was for the goddess to be kind, and offering a balm to the warrior's loneliness, but also what if she's more working her own angle? If the warrior is chosen by some more martial deity and the goddess is poaching, or if there was some divine wager about whether the goddess could turn this single-minded mortal from her path?

Kidnapped Sister/Cultist Sister Who Kidnapped Her/Eldritch Monster She Worships

• Go all out with the cult trappings. Ritual garb, summoning circles, chanting in tongues, weird hallucinatory sacraments (does that help the cultists comprehend the eldritch monster without their minds snapping like brittle twigs?), the works.


• The cultist loves her god. But how does she feel about her sister? Is this a sacrifice of some connection to her old life that she's giving up? Is she taking revenge after always being "the weird one" growing up? Is she trying to show her beloved sister the uncanny unknowable light?


• The sex being weird and incomprehensible and impossible would be fantastic. Sensory deprivation/confusion, erogenous zones that might not even be part of the person's own flesh, insertions that shouldn't be possible but happen anyway because space-warping eldritch magics, breeding little chaos godlets on these mortal sacrifices, just. Go for it.


• The sisters having very different attitudes to the sex would be rad, or starting with different attitudes until the presence of the Old One overwhelms the non-cult sister's mind and she can't help embracing her fate.

An Almost Forgotten God/His Last Worshiper (M/F)

• The power dynamic between god and worshiper becomes so interesting when there aren't other worshipers in the background somewhere. Please explore how codependent that is!


• What was he a god of? How does that affect his relationship to his follower?


• Why does she stay faithful to him, when everyone else has forgotten him? Is she the last of a family line that held his priesthood? Is she a scholar who rediscovered his rites when they had already stopped being performed?

Man Being Sacrificed to a Foreign God/Foreign God/Local God Who Crashes the Party

• Power struggle between the gods. That's my main thought here and the reason I had to request this ship. Who is this rude foreigner trying to take sustenance from one of the local's believers? Who is this whiny brat who couldn't make the local army strong enough to keep the foreigner's legions out? Hatesex between deities with this overwhelmed mortal in the middle.


• Does the mortal think of his local god as a savior, keeping him from the predation of the foreign deity? Or is he upset that his own god doesn't get him out of harm's way and instead is dragging him deeper into the conflict?


• Is the clergy and/or army of the foreign god still there watching as this goes down? Is this more up close and personal than they generally get with gods, their own or others'?

Forgotten Evil God/Unwary Hiker Who Stumbles Upon The Ruins Of His Temple (M/Any)

• How much power does the god have after being forgotten? Does he need to coerce the hiker into providing worship to feed him, or is his power independent of faith?


• Since he's specifically called out as an evil god, some torment seems called for here: I'm not into heavy guro but you could absolutely use this as an excuse for pain/bloodplay, for humiliation of any sort, for attempting to induce or prey on fear (including threatening to have monsters rape the hiker or actually having them do so, if you're so inclined).


• My default preference is for male victims in noncon, if you're waffling and not sure how to go with it; it's your call though and I'm fine with it if you offered intending female.

Long Imprisoned Ancient War God/Man Who Unwittingly Frees Him (M/M) / Long Imprisoned Ancient War Goddess/Man Who Unwittingly Frees Her (F/M)

• Some of the stuff with the hiker above probably applies here too, but it's not a complete overlap; war gods are terrifying but might not necessarily be evil.


• Does this god offer the mortal a bargain? A boon for freeing them? Or do they turn on the mortal in wrath because they're so starved for worship/sacrifice and this fool has released them without even bringing anything to sate their need?


• Do you like possession? I think possession would be neat here. Or making the mortal a thrall, possibly with the intent of turning him into a priest or prophet for the god's return.

loyalty and devotion

Ships: Berserker/Officer She's Absolutely Loyal To (F/F), Half-Dragon War Hero/Handsome Young King He Helped Gain the Throne (M/M), High Priestess with a Vow of Chastity/Her Warlord Brother (F/M), Virginal Elf Princess Interested In Sex/Her Male Orc Bodyguard (M/F), Crown Prince Riding Out To War/His Warrior Cousin He's Forbidden To Love (M/M)
Freeforms: Smut, Action/Adventure, Fantasy, Getting Together, Hurt/Comfort
Warnings: No Archive Warnings Apply, Graphic Depictions of Violence

These ones are all about loyalty and devotion, and all the emotional stuff that goes on when fealty and romance mix. There are power differentials here too, a lot of the time, but the person in the position of power has no desire to abuse that, and respects how valuable the other party's loyalty is. Please give me happy endings for these ships -- but also please feel free to get them in trouble first so they can help each other out of it.

Berserker/Female Officer She's Absolutely Loyal To

• Holy hell, this dynamic, yes. "I'm YOUR monster" ftw.


• I imagine the berserker probably makes most people nervous, if they've seen what she can do. But the officer knows she has nothing to fear, and trusts this deadly weapon she has at her command.


• Something where the berserker is brought back to her senses by her officer's intervention would be utter catnip, especially if that leads to their first sexual encounter.


• Is the berserker rough in bed (and is that exciting danger kink for her officer)? Or is she surprisingly gentle, and that's a secret about her that nobody else gets to know?


• Giving the sex a little dom/sub flavor would be really tasty; does the berserker sub as an extension of being loyal to her commander, or does she dom because her power is what her commander prizes in her?

Half-Dragon War Hero/Handsome Young King He Helped Gain the Throne

• Were they close before, or did they meet during the war? If they were already close, is that under strain now that they're both in the public eye more as hero and king? If they didn't know each other until now, how do they negotiate a relationship without the other thinking they're in it for the chance to get with all that prestige?


• How do the king's people generally think of dragons? Are they expected to be wise, ferocious, cunning, avaricious...? If he doesn't know the hero already, do those expectations color their relationship?
  
• Please tell me about your favorite kind of dragon dick.

High Priestess with a Vow of Chastity/Her Warlord Brother

• Mutual. Pining.


• Do they have to see each other for duty-related reasons? Perhaps they're at the same formal occasions representing their cult and warband? Perhaps her temple is where he goes to ask for blessings on his campaigns?


• If they don't have duty-related excuses to see each other, how do they manage to meet anyway? Are their meetings clandestine? Does he come to the temple in disguise as a penitent, with completely non-devout intentions?


• They should absolutely, positively try to find ways to satisfy themselves/each other that "don't count" as far as her vow is concerned. Having them watch each other from across the room? Yes good.

Virginal Elf Princess Interested in Sex/Her Male Orc Bodyguard

• I am so, so here for the princess having a great time and making exciting discoveries. Please make it fun for her.


• I am also here for size kink and either party finding the other's body exotic and exciting, and orcs look great with body mods including but not limited to tattoos, piercings, and scrimshawed tusks.


• You know, this would be a great place for the "if you're so determined to have sex, please do it with someone you can trust (me) instead of sneaking out to hook up with a potentially dangerous stranger" guardian trope.


• This would also be a great place for "let's not risk pregnancy by doing PIV, here are other fun things we can try."


• Do they have to keep these adventures secret? Is he much more worried about that than she is?

Crown Prince Riding out to War/His Warrior Cousin He's Forbidden to Love

• Wow, that's some beautiful longing and danger baked in, right? My one request on the "forbidden" aspect: please don't give me a story about homophobia. Use some other reason for the forbidding: maybe they're too closely related for the culture's incest tolerance; maybe there's tension between the ruling branch of the family and vassal lineages (or the ruling liege distrusts their sibling); maybe there's some other culture-specific taboo.


• What kind of encounter do these guys have? Is it a desperate hour stolen before they ride off to different fronts in the war, each demanding that the other come back in one piece? Is it celebratory, "we're out in the field and the disapproving people back in the palace can't stop us"? Are they stranded alone together after getting separated from their soldiers?


• I sure do love me some battlefield hurt/comfort, and warlike, dangerous men having careful sex so they won't aggravate injuries.

war and warriors

Ships: Officer in Evil Empire/Young Conscript (F/F), Beautiful Young Elf Diplomat/Grizzled Human Vigilante Who Saved Him from Ambush (M/M), General Who's Tired of War/Captured Soldier of Enemy Country (M/M), Hedonist Imperial Chancellor/Stoic General He Wants to Involve in a Plot (M/M), Military Man/Military Man From Rival Nation Whom He Saves From Execution By Marrying Him (M/M), Soft-Hearted Deserter Fleeing Evil Empire/Officer of Republic He Flees To (M/M)
Warnings: No Archive Warnings Apply, Graphic Depictions of Violence

This one is about war and warriors, without the focus on loyalty to an individual (though there's overlap, and if you want to lean on personal loyalty for one of these it'd still be good). Kinking on strength, worldly experience, and battle scars are all appropriate here (and if someone's missing a limb or an eye, that's fine too). Experienced warriors know that part of their lot is being used as weapons -- but it's up to them who wields them and for what cause. Fight scenes would be good in these ones if you feel the urge, but so would reaching a truce.

Officer in Evil Empire/Young Conscript (F/F)

• How does our conscript see her role in the imperial army? Is she bitter about being conscripted and looking for a way to sabotage things? Is she grateful for a chance to get out of her previous situation and treating her military service as a means to escape to somewhere better? Has she been a potential villain all along who now thrives with the opportunity to do sanctioned violence?


• How does the officer see her? Does she recognize something of her past self in a young recruit looking to prove her worth? Or do they come from such different backgrounds (maybe the officer was from some aristocratic family in the empire?) that the conscript's scrappy fire is new and different for her?


• I'd rather not have anybody angsting over whether fraternization might get someone in trouble (upside of the evil empire: not much in the way of ethical review) but either or both of them being conscious of (and kinking on) their power differential is hot. Depending on how you imagine her, the conscript might well be angry at finding it hot, and that's good too.


• This would be a great place for sparring UST leading to rough sex, and it would also be a great place for bending the conscript over the officer's desk (or putting her on her knees under it) and making her squirm.

Beautiful Young Elf Diplomat/Grizzled Human Vigilante Who Saved Him from Ambush

• I'm seeing our young diplomat not fully aware of how volatile the situation is that he's been sent into; is he just naive, or was he set up, and how does that affect the vigilante's opinion of him?


• The diplomat trying to navigate the social rules of the vigilante's circle would be charming, to me and possibly to the vigilante as well.


• If you want to talk about politics and plots and skullduggery, please do!


• But if you want to just do a romance novel swooning-into-his-rescuer's-arms thing here, that'd also be lovely. Lean into the contrasts between this pretty young man on one of his first missions and a much butcher, older man who's seen a lot of shit.

General Who's Tired of War/Captured Soldier of Enemy Country / Soft-Hearted Deserter Fleeing Evil Empire/Officer of Republic He Flees To

• The thing I want most here: men on different sides of a conflict recognizing each other's decency and humanity and choosing that personal connection despite the actions of their nations.


• Maybe some "are you doing this to bargain? because you don't have to, we treat prisoners humanely here" on the part of the general/officer, and the prisoner/deserter answering no, he'd be interested no matter what.


• Learning to appreciate differences that they're used to associating with The Enemy: maybe their accents are different, or it's dark elves vs high elves, etc., and this is the first time that's been not a sign of imminent threat.


• It's a fragile alliance though, isn't it? If you want to touch on that, how each of them has contributed to real harm to the other's home and people, I'm here for it.

Hedonist Imperial Chancellor/Stoic General He Wants to Involve in a Plot

• This feels ripe for some clash of wills/arguments over priorities. Does the general find the chancellor frustrating and short-sighted? Does he ever wish he could indulge like that? Does the chancellor have a good political argument to make despite his hedonism?


• Luxury kink of whatever kind would be great here: taking the general to the theater, treating him to a fancy meal, meeting him for conversation in the bathhouse, whatever variant works best, gimme some sensual indulgence.


• Does the chancellor's ploy work? Is he convincing? Or does he wine and dine and exquisitely fuck the general only to get turned down afterward?

Military Man/Military Man From Rival Nation Whom He Saves From Execution By Marrying Him

• Oh lordt do I want the romantic interpretation of this ship. Punch me with feels. Please.


• Did they know each other before? Were they friends or comrades when they were younger, before one of them went to fight for a different side? Or do they only know each other by reputation, but that's enough for our hero to know his groom is an honorable man who deserves to be saved?


• Pining, sparring, awkwardness about whether to sleep in the same room/bed (and whether it will look like a sham marriage if they don't): any kind of UST you want to pile on there, it's good stuff.


• That thing where the disadvantaged one is prepared to go through with sex he doesn't want because he thinks he has to "pay for" his rescue, but his rescuer is honorable and doesn't want sex under those terms? Yes. That. Also, of course, the thing where that's the first step toward it becoming sex the rescuee does want.

the inevitable monsterfucker set

Ships: Drider/Harpy Caught in Her Web (F/F), Masochistic Angel/Sadistic Priest (F/F), Human Space Marine/Hulking Alien Squadmate (M/F), Male Dragon/Female Dragon Rider (M/F), Haunted Abandoned Building & Ghosts/Male Ghost Hunter (Other/M), Space Explorer/Giant Insects Who Lay Eggs in His Cock (M/any), Dragon with aphrodisiac semen/Male Victim (M/M), Knight with Necromantic Powers/His Deceased Arch-Rival He Raised from the Dead (M/M)
Freeforms: Fic, Fantasy, Science Fantasy, Science Fiction, Smut
Warnings: No Archive Warnings Apply

...I'm just a monsterfucker ok. There are so many good nonhuman ships in the tagset, I had to add a few more. These ones didn't fit my other themes but I want them just for the fun of the xeno. I'd love to see what you came up with for these as consensual ships (if possibly angry rival ships in one or two cases, or ships with a lot of kink going on). Let me see what your POV character finds compelling about getting it on with someone of a different species. Is this thrillseeking? A demonstration of a deep bond? ....A demonstration of a bond continuing after one of them has changed form? Just a kink the character can't deny?

(Okay, that said, if you wanted to take any of the M/M or Other/M ships from this batch and write it as if it fell under the "cocky bastards" heading at the beginning? That would be fine too.)

Drider/Harpy Caught in Her Web

• I love the idea of this being kink play, I really do. Cross-species monster girlfriends doing kinky roleplay is kind of the cutest?


• If roleplay doesn't appeal to you though, how about some bargaining that isn't a game? The harpy fast-talking and/or sweet-talking the drider into sparing her/setting her free?


• What if the harpy is a messenger from her people to the drider's and delivering the message is going a bit differently than she expected?

Masochistic Angel/Sadistic Priest

• Once more with feeling: tell me how the power dynamic shakes out here. An angel is a divine messenger; a priest serves a divine power. This could be interestingly messy! I'm really fond of toppy masochists.


• Why is this encounter taking place? Is it part of a ritual of some kind? Is it a test? Is it a reward? If so, for which of them?


• Is this an ongoing relationship or a single encounter of the Lo, the Angel of the LORD spake unto her and said variety? If it's ongoing, does that complicate either or both of their positions re: their divinity?


• Do they serve the same divinity? If not, does that make things less complicated (whew, not an office romance) or more complicated (a kinky religious Romeo & Juliet!)?


• I'm guessing people who offer this ship are probably picturing "beautiful human with wings, halo, robes" but if you want to go with any of the weirder and more alien descriptions of angels out there, that would be cool as hell and you should go for it.

Human Space Marine/Hulking Alien Squadmate

• I think the ship as written is calling for male human and female alien, but I would be equally happy if you wanted to reverse that or have the aliens not have binary sex at all.


• "Space marine" suggests this human is used to being one of the toughest people in the room, but now they're on a team with this burly powerhouse of an alien and... it's not threatening, actually, it's really hot.


• Downtime between missions would be good here, as would hurt/comfort that gets heated during a mission, as would any kind of sex pollen/fuck or die/aliens (etc) make them do it scenario.


• My default mental image for the hulking alien is something like a krogan, but please don't feel bound by that; if you're picturing something else, tell me what they're like and i'm there.

Male Dragon/Female Dragon Rider

• I really want her to be into it. Maybe she's always thought dragons were hot (maybe that's why she became a rider!) or maybe the first time is something she'd never considered, but she has a good time here.


• Is it normal for dragons to have sex with their riders? Is it a ritual thing or a bonding thing or both?


• Is it normal for a dragon's mating desires to affect their human, but usually in the dragon/dragon with simultaneous human/human way, only this time the two of them are isolated on a mission when the rut comes on, with nobody but each other...

Haunted Abandoned Building & Ghosts/Male Ghost Hunter

• Most ghost hunters seem to be in it hoping to make contact as much as anything, so what happens when our hero makes considerably more contact than anyone he's ever heard of? Is that a thrill or somewhat alarming?


• Is the place itself important to this? Was the building a brothel once upon a time? Was it the site of some secret society's occult orgies? Is that how it came to be infused with so much libidinous spectral energy?


• I'm not particular at all about how your ghosts present themselves, whether they're cold spots or vague smudges of light or visible translucent forms, whether they're completely intangible or otherwise, ectoplasm or no -- as long as the hunter is definitely having a supernatural experience rather than something a more skeptical person would debunk.

Space Explorer/Giant Insects Who Lay Eggs in His Cock

• You probably don't have to be a thrillseeker to explore space, but it sure does help.


• Has he banged other aliens? Has he heard anything about the mating habits of these ones before, or is he just diving in with no idea what to expect? This could easily be an expansion (heh) of an existing sounding kink.


• Consensual is good but this is also an excellent candidate for straight-up noncon or for "started out consensual, became too much, victim had no way of clearly communicating that."

Dragon with aphrodisiac semen/Male Victim

• This ship is such pure id candy I'm ashamed that I didn't nominate it.


• Feel free to interpret "victim" loosely; this guy might love being dosed and seek it out and that'd be fine by me (actually, you can borrow the "addictive" quality from those minotaurs elsewhere in the tagset too).


• What if this is a known quality of dragon come and there's consequently a market for it, and this guy is trying to obtain some for sale but accidentally winds up exposed? Or what if there are dragons kept in captivity for, uh, "harvesting," and our boy here is the one whose job it is to do the deed?


• Hell with it, what if there's a specialty brothel in the most decadent city in the land where you can pay for an evening with an aphrodisiac dragon? Really, no concept is too indulgent here.


• Any other dragon (or half-dragon) in my signup is also welcome to have aphrodisiac fluids for any reason or no reason, like dang.

Knight with Necromantic Powers/His Deceased Arch-Rival He Raised from the Dead

• I'm not into putrescence, but feel free to lean into other aspects of the rival being dead (cold flesh, sluggish or absent bloodflow, lack of breathing when not speaking...).


• Why did the knight bring him back? A threat he knows he can only face with the help of the guy he hates but has to respect? An argument that was left unfinished? A debt that needs to be repaid (in either direction)?


• Does raising the rival from the dead give the knight ongoing power over him? If so, how do the two of them feel about that? Does the rival attempt to break the control using his own understanding of necromancy? Does he succeed? (Is that when they bang?)


• Did they fuck (angrily) when they were both alive? If not, does it give the knight pause that he's interested in doing it now?
