I am here for an iddy good time, and I hope if you offered these ships you are too. I'm generally looking to get what it says on the tin—please don't gift me trope subversions or power dynamic reversals unless I specifically request one.
Genre thoughts: I strongly prefer sff over the real world. I lean slightly more fantasy than sci fi but will happily read either, especially planet-based rather than space ship/station-based sf. For any character whose species isn't noted in the tag ("Adventurer," "Necromancer," "Knight," etc.), please feel free to make them not human as suits your setting, with one caveat: if there's an exploitative dynamic between characters, I enjoy nonhuman-exploits-human much more than the reverse. I do like a bit of worldbuilding with my porn, or better yet worldbuilding in the service of porn (what quirk of biology makes these monsters want to bang people? is there some ritual or historical symbolism to this public gangbang? just what are the most important magical applications of come?); I am less excited about worldbuilding as the main character with the ship just there to show it off.
Monsters: Nonspecified "Monster" characters should be something that appeals to you! I like 'em generally bigger than humans and usually doing any penetrating that happens, but shape-and-texture-wise take your pick. Fur, scales, claws, horns, fangs, tentacles, prehensile tails, prehensile tongues, ridged cocks, knotting cocks, hemipenes, ovipositors, unreasonable amounts of come, slime, pheromones, mind control, capable of speech or just wild beasts—all excellent weapons in the quest to overwhelm some hapless human with pleasure whether they like it or not.
DNW: unrequested noncon; death of main characters; preeteen characters; cross-generational incest; scat, vomit, force feeding; pregnancy/birth/children (exception: oviposition kinking on implanting the eggs is fine; I'm not really interested in carrying or laying/hatching them); any scenario in which a character's gender is the reason they're exploited; asexual characters in / ships, gender dysphoria, trans characters as victims of sexual violence; suicide, self-harm, or urges to commit either; completely mundane settings (modern-with-magic a la urban fantasy or Shadowrun is good tho!); soulmate/soulmark or other predestined relationship tropes; pegging to assert dominance (pegging as fully consensual sensation play is great, if you pick a ship where that applies!); medical kink
Enthusiastic! Xeno! For! Everyone! That's it, that's the set.
Repressed but Needy Princess/Rutting Monsters Summoned by Court Sorcerer (F/Other)
I love this princess, please treat her good.
There's just something about this phrasing that makes me root for the princess wholeheartedly, however she wound up in this situation. Has she been struggling to control her cravings, and the sorcerer came across a spell "For the Aid of Lusty Maidens" in a book written in a much more permissive land, that helps in a different way than expected? Is the sorcerer an adversary who sought to humiliate or defeat the princess, but she discovers that the monsters' desire (and tongues and cocks and fluids and) unlocks her own power? Do you have some other idea? I just want her to feel good and get extremely railed, and for that to be a triumph or allow her to triumph. <3
Seraphim with Many Eyes Wings and Cocks/Male Worshipper of Deity the Seraphim Serves (Other)
mmmm angelfucking and weird unfathomable angels, yes please. Whatever reason you have for the encounter is great. Is this an answer to the worshipper's plea for something? An unprompted message from the divine? A reward for something the worshipper did, or a warning? A ritual communion, the human getting as close as possible to the ineffable divine whose actual presence would destroy a mere mortal? I just want it to be weird and fascinating, and angels had to tell people to "be not afraid" for reasons. I mean also I want as much apocryphal esoteric religious kink as you want to throw at me.
...Also, I don't think the original nominator intended this, but "seraphim" is plural, and if you're up for the challenge of more than one seraph's worth of eyes and wings and cocks, I want them.
Beautiful Elf Lord/His Sapient Dragon Mount (M/M)
I'm here for trust and fondness between these two and would not say no to some actual romance if that's your jam. Fancy Tolkien elves or little folklore creatures or anything in between, likewise dragons inspired by Chinese or European or modern hybrid ideas. Honestly making them tiny enough to like, do battle with rats or something would be pretty cool. Are they performing some bonding ritual together? Were they separated in a battle and one has to seek the other out to rescue him from trouble? Do dragons have a mating season? Do elves? idk I'm shipping this pretty hard and I just want them to be good to each other.
Royal/Royal/Monsters in Heat/Rut during Coming of Age Ceremony (any/any/other)
I love the idea of monsterfucking as (part of) a coming of age ceremony, ngl. My first thought there is that there's some tradition of cooperation or mutual aid between the people and the monsters here, whether the monsters are sacred or representatives of the land the royals rule or members of a species that fight alongside people when they go to war—something to make it appropriate for the royals to ceremonially offer themselves up at this key point in their lives where they're taking on their duties. The royals could be siblings (maybe twins, maybe the monsters don't rut every year and the older one couldn't perform the ceremony until now?), or cousins, or two members of different houses—perhaps betrothed—who, being alike in age and dignity, are undergoing this important rite together. I'd love to see them progress from nervous about this prospect to wholeheartedly surrendering their bodies to pleasure <3
Inexperienced Young [Man|Woman]/Handsome Monster & Director Preparing Them for Sex Show (F/any & F) or (M/any & any)
I requested both the M and F versions of the performer here, and I like both the idea of rehearsing for porn/recording and the idea that they're going to perform live. I like how sex as performance gives the characters all these extra things to consider: how it's going to look, what the audience wants, whether there's a narrative for them to present and what kind. There's almost definitely a narrative to present here, with a cross-species show, whether that's seduction of/by the unknown or bargaining with a stranger or a mock noncon captivity/tribute trope. Also this show could be anything from celebrated local art form to taboo illegal performance—and how does that affect what kind of audience they get and what kind of expectations the audience has? Meanwhile, the poor new performer is probably a little overwhelmed and just trying to handle their monster partner's equipment, never mind all this other stuff their costar and director keep talking about. ...actually if you want to throw in a bit of physical training for the new partner, whether that's flexibility or the ability to handle large insertions or the ability to come at the right moment for the show's sake, that sounds hot too.
For all the X/Y & Z prompts, I'm interested in a Z who's enjoying the show, and who may have either actively or passively contributed to setting up X/Y. Z might be getting sexual gratification out of watching or it might be some other kind of satisfaction, but I'm generally more interested in watchers being into it than helpless-and-horrified.
Adventurer/Slime Monsters (any/other)
I do not have anything especially smart to say about this. Slimes. All over an an adventurer and inside the adventurer in multiple ways! Yes. Feel free to combine with weird pheromone secretions that make the adventurer stop resisting when they're absorbed by the soft wet tissue of one orifice or another. Feel free to make that process turn the adventurer into a desperate, slime-dripping mess who then gets to also go a few rounds with other monsters in the forest/dungeon/etc. If the slimes want to use whatever convenient part of the adventurer's body to incubate new baby slime monsters, and if doing that leads to uncomfortable-oh-fuck-why-am-I-turned-on inflation, ALSO very good.
I am fine with the adventurer escaping eventually and I am also fine with the adventurer settling into a slime colony with no thoughts left in their head beyond getting enveloped in wet warmth and stuffed full.
Proud Young Prince/Local Monsters & Prince's Guardian Looking On (M/any & M)
I picture the prince and his guardian having a somewhat contentious relationship, for them to wind up in a position where the guardian would stand by and watch this. Maybe the prince is a snotty piece of shit who drives everyone serving him crazy, and the guardian is just out of sight pretending he can't hear the cries for help. Maybe the prince is clever but not cautious and the guardian has set something up to teach him a lesson about being more careful—or maybe the king ordered the guardian to arrange such a lesson and this is just a more unorthodox version than usual. There are a lot of messy, nasty motivations possible here and they're great and you should just pick one you enjoy. The monsters, also, could be somewhere out in the wild near the capital city or near whatever provincial outpost the prince is sent to govern... or they could be half tame, part of some ranching operation for exotic pelts or intended for an arena debut or something. Get that prince wrecked nice and hard, and make him so very mortified when he realizes that his guardian has seen him come with monster dick shoved up his ass. (If you want to add sexual tension, sexual history, or on-page sex between the prince and the guardian, that's also fine despite the & in the tag.)
Snake God[dess]/Man Who Comes To [Him|Her] For Power (M/M or F/M)
Thesis: snakes are hot.
Ideally I'd like the man here to be someone who already has some power (a warrior, a priest, a mage) who's too ambitious to settle for what he has and is trying to gain access to a power his opponents/rivals/etc won't have. He knows he'll have to make some kind of bargain with the deity, but maybe isn't prepared for what kind of deal it is or just how high the price is. I'm into the deity being any degree of snaky from "human shaped with slitted eyes, maybe some scales" to naga to just plain giant sapient snake, and also snakes have been associated with hermaphrodism in more than one mythology so if you want to go with a deity not bound to binary sex that's neat. Deity motivations ranging from "it's mating season" to "I need a warm cozy place for these eggs" to "this human's resolve should be tested" to "I'm going to punish this arrogant mortal with my cock(s)" are all good. Does the man get the power he's seeking? If so, is it worth what he had to pay for it? If not, is he allowed to crawl back to civilization humbled, or will he be kept to continue serving?
Arena Champion/Monsters in Rut & Enthusiastic Audience (any/M & any)
I'm really into the version of this where the arena champion didn't know it was coming, so to speak. But if there's one thing a bloodsport audience loves more than the rise of a champion, it's the fall of that champion. So maybe this was done on purpose, the arena owners/organizers having the monsters brought in and made ready for a fighter who thought he was going to show off his swordsmanship and instead is going to get extremely railed. But maybe it was an accident, some factor nobody noticed with a new batch of monsters or something unexpected setting them off. Either way, the audience? Thinks this is a great show. Magic or pheromones contributing to make the champion get more cooperative partway through (maybe an audience member sees he's struggling and helps out?) also fun stuff. This is an incredibly successful day at the arena and they're going to do a lot more shows like this from now on? huge bonus!
Admittedly some of these are a little wobbly about consent due to power imbalance, but I'd like them to stay on the side of "nobody involved actively dislikes doing this" even if an outsider might question how meaningful the consent is.
Imperial Officer/Hotheaded Conscript from Occupied Territory (F/F)
I put this in with my consensual requests because I'm less looking for the officer abusing her power than I am the conscript making every bad decision in the book. Maybe the imperial conquest was long enough ago that it's not an immediate emotional hot button for a young conscript, or maybe she was part of a population that suffered under the old regime and doesn't resent the empire, or—really, that's background stuff. What I'm excited about is this girl having a lot to prove and bravado to spare, and going after her commanding officer's attention with more enthusiasm than sense. I'd be interested in sort of antagonistic flirting, or in thirsty pining with a lot of attempts to be a model soldier, or either of those things combined with a training mission going wrong—relying on each other in a dangerous situation is a classic for a reason! ...Or, honestly, just plain porn with the conscript made to kneel under the officer's desk or bend over it for a little discipline.
Wounded Drow Runaway/Surface Dweller Who Finds Him (M/F)
Semi-exception to my general "no gendered exploitation" preference: if you want to use D&D drow evil matriarchy lore, that's fine! Just please focus more on his future away from that system than his past being caught in it.
There have just been so many ships nominated in exchanges for the last year or so involving some woobie drow and the maybe-scary-maybe-benevolent woman he encounters, and I am big thirsty for the hurt/comfort rescue versions of all of that. This is the ballad of a sad misunderstood stranger whose people are expected to be Evil and the compassionate should-be enemy who looks past that to see a person in pain and in need of help. Please, I just want some sweet recovery and both of them starting to learn about the other as people instead of bogeymen. Healing via petting cute animals or working in a garden also a big plus.
My preference here is for hurt/comfort where the hurt is mostly in the past and alluded to just enough to make the comfort satisfying—e.g., he flinches reflexively when his rescuer moves too quickly, yes; extensive description of how his owner or commander used to beat him, no thank you; mention of a castration scar or that affecting how runaway/rescuer sex happens, good; extended flashback to the castration process, not my jam.
Formerly Devoted Knight Who Has Reached Their Limit/Prince Of The Nation He Wants To Defect To (M/M)
I am so interested in finding out why this knight's devotion has dissolved! It seems like there are two major trends here: the knight's nation has become corrupt and he wants to leave for somewhere more in line with his principles, or the knight himself has been corrupted (seduced?) into abandoning his service for whatever this other nation has to offer. Plus, you know, it's shippy, so there's some kind of personal attraction built into this shift of allegiances that the knight may or may not want to acknowledge is an important factor. Is this prince a shining beacon of hope giving the knight a new chance to live with honor, or a Dark Fuck Prince whose charisma fuels his unprincipled conquests? Either way is really neat, and they're very different stories! I'd love to see you tell me either one of them. The knight being significantly (10-20 years) older than the prince is also a nice bonus.
Unscrupulous Warlord/Living Weapon Completely Loyal To Him/Her (M/M) or (F/F)
Please roll around in this warlord being ruthless and ambitious but maybe a little hedonistic in their off hours; my historical problematic fave is Oda Nobunaga, if that gives you any direction. The living weapon could be a cyborg or supersoldier, a demon or half-demon warrior, a fierce corpse like Wen Ning, or even a "regular" person of exceptional skill and ferocity. Do they have triumph sex after a battle? Does the weapon return from an assassination mission with proof of the kill and get rewarded? Are they indulging in the fine luxuries of a seized palace (fancy baths! silk sheets!) while the warlord admires how lovely their pet killer is? The key kink bits for me are the weapon thinking that the warlord is peerless and worth every ounce of their devotion, and the warlord thinking of the weapon as a beautiful, precious object to use as they see fit. Age difference with a silver fox warlord and youthful weapon and/or size difference with a powerfully built warlord and slight/slender weapon are great bonuses.
I guess they're still not quite entirely human, but these are ones where I'm not kinking so much on physical monstrosity.
Male Rock Star Who Sold His Soul to the Devil/The Devil Come to Collect His Due
I love everything about the legends of musicians selling their souls for talent/fame, I love rock stars, I love decadence narratives, I just have a tremendous soft spot for all of this. The devil wins, that's all I ask. The rock star made a bad decision and doesn't have a get out of jail free card. So how does it go? Maybe it's a nightmare of being back at the crossroads where he first made the deal. Maybe he can see the devil in the crowd and tries to flee, but there's nowhere to go. Maybe he brings a groupie backstage and things start to get good and then the kid starts to transform. Maybe the devil is waiting in his green room, or in the tour bus, or in the fancy hotel room the band was probably going to trash. Spooky and sexy and leaning into the way that the devil has control of the situation now are all fantastic.
Ambitious Emperor/His Most Loyal General/Spoils from General's Latest Conquest (M/M/M)
I'm here for the general's adoration of his liege, the emperor's appreciation of his conquering hero, and both of them enjoying the spoils with the same attitude as one would enjoy a good meal: comfortably, sensually, and without any consideration for the feelings of the food. Maybe the emperor is coming to tour a territory that the general's forces have seized; maybe the general has returned to the capital to be recognized for a triumph. The spoils might be politically loaded—a former prince or military leader, or the son of someone who spoke out against the empire?—or possibly just a particularly beautiful one of the conquered people. Or a former pleasure slave of the now-deposed rulers, already broken to his role! Kinking on other aspects of imperial luxury/power is also really good here. Also a nonhuman people ruling the empire (cats are terrible at hierarchy but catpeople would be v hot), whether that's just the emperor or both him and his general. Give these villains a good day, please.
Sentient Dungeon/Adventurer (other/any)
The possibilities! Did this adventurer go in solo? Did they have a party and get separated? Has the dungeon been picking off party members one at a time for lascivious purposes? And what's the dungeon's M.O.? Are there locks that can only be opened with come and levers that have to be ridden to make them move? Does a hole in one wall close down around a pleasing adventurer to leave them stuck, unable to fend off explorations? Are there animate vines or living statuary moving at the will of the dungeon itself? Is the dungeon bored, or experimenting, or does it feed like an incubus/succubus on mortal pleasure—or is it impossible to even understand? This prompt probably leads to a certain amount of silliness but I'd love to have that also flavored with the helplessness and potential for overwhelming excess that go along with having a completely inhuman, much bigger force at the helm.
Queen Corrupted by Demons/Her Little Sister She's Obsessively in Love With (F/F)
The queen and her younger sister were always close, never rivals for the throne or estranged by politicking; perhaps the younger sister was a scholar or a warrior or had some other pursuit that she would rather do than govern. But since the demons got their claws into her (and explore that as much as you want!), the queen's affection has taken a darker and more possessive turn. I'd really love to see her eroding her sister's sense of propriety, laying increasingly intimate claim to her body and mind both, by both mundane and magical means: hypnosis, inappropriate touching that turns to actual sex, enchanted jewelry (enchanted piercing jewelry?) that she can activate for an aphrodisiac effect, giving her sister toys to wear under her clothes (that she can activate while they're in public?), demon-silk rope bondage to hold her sister exposed and aroused for her to admire and eventually satisfy, a finely wrought collar and beautiful chain to bind her dearest sister to the foot of her throne... I'd just love to see the queen reduce her sister to a sweet, compliant sex toy whom she then adores.
Compelling power dynamics are where my id lives! They're baked into a lot of the ships I request and generally welcome elsewhere too. The only common kink/trope of this sort that I'd prefer to avoid is teacher/student, specifically within formal education systems; something like master/disciple or mentor/apprentice outside the educational-institution context is fine.
As mentioned briefly in my DNWs, I'm extremely touchy about gender and exploitation. I don't enjoy worldbuilding where gender defines someone's social standing, whether that's repressive misogynist cultures, evil matriarchies, or dystopias that discriminate against fantasy genders like omegas. I absolutely don't want an aggressor in any dubcon/noncon who is motivated by their victim's gender. In general, for a mixed-gender ship, your safest bet is a dynamic involving mutual respect even if the characters have differing degrees of power. (This does not apply to male monsters/female monsterfuckee noncon; in that case, just please don't imply/state that being female is the reason she gets victimized.)
In consensual ships: I really like consensual ships where there's a real-world power difference that the characters are aware of and are trying to negotiate thoughtfully. I feel like the key (and also the tricky bit) is having the person with power take care not to overstep boundaries but also not disrespect the other person's agency by going "oh but they can't meaningfully consent because of this." Frankly I'll assume they're doing it right unless you show me them doing it wrong; if you don't write the socially dominant party being thoughtless with their power or taking choices away from their partner "for their own good", the rest is gravy. I'm also fine with public vs private roles being reversed, being maintained, or the two of them trying to fuck as equals—just show me why they like it that way and I'll like it too.
In "the characters treat this as consensual, but" ships: By this I mean stuff with a severe power imbalance and a level of loyalty or devotion that looks wrong from the outside, like the living weapon who wouldn't dream of questioning orders, or the slave who adores their master. There's a gentle background sense of past brainwashing or mindbreak here, and I love seeing it look sweet with that rotten foundation. The character without power doesn't see the problem and the character with power doesn't view it as a problem, and I like the "cherishing"/possessive objectification and the object thereof understanding it as meaningful affection. This is extremely hard to pull off in a mixed-gender ship but I enjoy it in m/m and f/f both.
In dubcon/noncon acknowledged as such: I have the easiest time enjoying these dynamics when the victim has some degree of privilege (or believes they do) and is kind of a dirtbag about it: haughty princess claimed as a war prize, arrogant magic student who can't actually control that summoned tentacle beast like he thought he could, rich boy who finally can't just pay off a problem and is going to have to surrender a very different currency to get out of trouble. Still, things without the break-the-haughty element can work too, especially with more narrative sympathy for the victim and more sense that they're going to pull through this and be able to get on with their lives. Scrappy survivors who aren't going to be defeated no matter how many times the monsters make them come are fun to cheer for.
Original work stories that kink on the existing social order being used to exploit the people at the bottom of it (e.g., heartless nobleman rapes virgin chamber maid, mean girls in a matriarchal society rape shy male classmate) are almost always bonerkill for me.
Copied from this year's smut4smut letter, in case you want more ingredients to mix in to your chosen ship!
In General:
Whatever sex act works for the ship and the idea you have! Oral, anal, vaginal, intercrural, fingering, fisting, more unusual things—I will happily read/look at any of it.
Come play, come marking, making someone a mess and enjoying it
Come inflation, especially in gangbang situations or with nonhuman character(s) doing the fucking
Clit stimulation: if a character has a clit I'd love to see it get some attention instead of skipping over that for a focus entirely on penetrative stuff
Characters roleplaying a fantasy, or talking through/narrating a fantasy while they're touching each other
Oral fixations, oral sex, someone really into licking/sucking what their partner's got
Penetrated characters being active participants who like how it feels and want it there (and there, too—penetration in multiple holes is lovely)
Painplay just because it feels good, from love bites and scratches to canes and whips: give me masochists who get high on sensation and sadists who get hot making them squirm
Canon magic/powers/xeno features used for sex, either as kink for the characters or as their "normal" that's distinct from ours
Nonhuman characters having nonhuman junk, heat cycles, etc., even if all the parts of them we see in canon are humanlike
Sounding! Sounding is hot and I often fail to actually prompt for it but yum
Some Visual Pleasures:
Gloves, especially the formalwear, dress uniform, fingerless/motorcycle, and impractical JRPG fashion kinds. Gloved hands on bare skin. Gloved fingers in mouths.
Expressive faces—in consensual encounters, characters smiling and laughing during sex is gorgeous. In less consensual situations, fear or embarrassment or glazed eyes from being overwhelmed.
Messy fluids, facials, come dripping out of someone or splashed across their skin. Unrealistically generous amounts are A+.
Characters being still half dressed, or still wearing little bits of things to visually break up the bare skin: harnesses, heels with straps winding up the calf, jewelry at wrists and throat.
Piercings! Also tattoos, especially if they're something really personal to the character. Pretty jewelry chains draped between body piercings.
Scars, especially but certainly not only ones that correspond to canonical injuries, and also including deliberate decorative scarification along with incidental battle scars.
With Power Imbalances:
Hair pulling, manhandling, the dom putting their sub where they want them (especially to go along with/draw attention to size difference)
Hole spanking, pussy spanking—not generally as punishment but for the exposure/sensation making the sub turned on/extra tender and needy/attractively squirmy and desperate
Cockwarming, especially with a needy sub who really wants more and won't get it unless they're patient
Subs who went after this situation but might have gotten a little more than they bargained for (and are thrown off balance by how hot that is)
In ongoing situations, subs being expected to be available for use on command: wearing toys for their dom, presenting whatever part of them the dom wants to use, etc.
In Dubcon/Noncon Situations:
Pretty much anything in the power imbalance group as something the sub is forced to submit to
Forced or involuntary arousal/orgasm: the victim's mind still saying no while their body responds to unwelcome touch
Generally the physical mechanics of the sex going more smoothly than would be realistic: victims relaxed enough to take penetration, getting hard/getting wet, penetration being minimally painful if at all (other kinds of pain unrelated to penetration are still just fine!)
Victims in impaired mental states, drunk or drugged or sex pollened—unable to make meaningful choices, with someone taking advantage
But also, victims having to make choices between bad and worse, including "consenting" to sex to avoid other bad outcomes, having to pick what hole to "offer" to an aggressor or which potential aggressor to submit to, predicament bondage scenarios that will end with the victim stuffed full if they stop holding the stress position, etc.
My villain faves getting to keep their defeated opponents as pets/toys
In ongoing situations, victims sliding into a mindbreak place where they no longer care about escape and believe that sexual use is what they're for.
Thank you for coming to check out my letter! I hope you find something here inspiring. My letter includes my signup information, some thoughts about each of my requests, and some additional information about topics (power and porn) that come up a lot. Please don't feel like any of the individual ship stuff is intended as a demand; pick and choose fun elements or leave all the specifics entirely and do your own riff on the theme. I hope you enjoy this exchange and I look forward to seeing what you make!

Fur, scales, claws, horns, fangs, tentacles, prehensile tails, prehensile tongues, ridged cocks, knotting cocks, hemipenes, ovipositors, unreasonable amounts of come, slime, pheromones, mind control, capable of speech or just wild beasts—all excellent weapons in the quest to overwhelm some hapless human with pleasure whether they like it or not.

I'm here for trust and fondness between these two and would not say no to some actual romance if that's your jam. Fancy Tolkien elves or little folklore creatures or anything in between, likewise dragons inspired by Chinese or European or modern hybrid ideas. Honestly making them tiny enough to like, do battle with rats or something would be pretty cool. Are they performing some bonding ritual together? Were they separated in a battle and one has to seek the other out to rescue him from trouble? Do dragons have a mating season? Do elves? idk I'm shipping this pretty hard and I just want them to be good to each other.
Royal/Royal/Monsters in Heat/Rut during Coming of Age Ceremony (any/any/other)
I love the idea of monsterfucking as (part of) a coming of age ceremony, ngl. My first thought there is that there's some tradition of cooperation or mutual aid between the people and the monsters here, whether the monsters are sacred or representatives of the land the royals rule or members of a species that fight alongside people when they go to war—something to make it appropriate for the royals to ceremonially offer themselves up at this key point in their lives where they're taking on their duties. The royals could be siblings (maybe twins, maybe the monsters don't rut every year and the older one couldn't perform the ceremony until now?), or cousins, or two members of different houses—perhaps betrothed—who, being alike in age and dignity, are undergoing this important rite together. I'd love to see them progress from nervous about this prospect to wholeheartedly surrendering their bodies to pleasure <3
Inexperienced Young [Man|Woman]/Handsome Monster & Director Preparing Them for Sex Show (F/any & F) or (M/any & any)
I requested both the M and F versions of the performer here, and I like both the idea of rehearsing for porn/recording and the idea that they're going to perform live. I like how sex as performance gives the characters all these extra things to consider: how it's going to look, what the audience wants, whether there's a narrative for them to present and what kind. There's almost definitely a narrative to present here, with a cross-species show, whether that's seduction of/by the unknown or bargaining with a stranger or a mock noncon captivity/tribute trope. Also this show could be anything from celebrated local art form to taboo illegal performance—and how does that affect what kind of audience they get and what kind of expectations the audience has? Meanwhile, the poor new performer is probably a little overwhelmed and just trying to handle their monster partner's equipment, never mind all this other stuff their costar and director keep talking about. ...actually if you want to throw in a bit of physical training for the new partner, whether that's flexibility or the ability to handle large insertions or the ability to come at the right moment for the show's sake, that sounds hot too.
Nonconsensual Ships with Monsters in
For all the X/Y & Z prompts, I'm interested in a Z who's enjoying the show, and who may have either actively or passively contributed to setting up X/Y. Z might be getting sexual gratification out of watching or it might be some other kind of satisfaction, but I'm generally more interested in watchers being into it than helpless-and-horrified.
Adventurer/Slime Monsters (any/other)
I do not have anything especially smart to say about this. Slimes. All over an an adventurer and inside the adventurer in multiple ways! Yes. Feel free to combine with weird pheromone secretions that make the adventurer stop resisting when they're absorbed by the soft wet tissue of one orifice or another. Feel free to make that process turn the adventurer into a desperate, slime-dripping mess who then gets to also go a few rounds with other monsters in the forest/dungeon/etc. If the slimes want to use whatever convenient part of the adventurer's body to incubate new baby slime monsters, and if doing that leads to uncomfortable-oh-fuck-why-am-I-turned-on inflation, ALSO very good.
I am fine with the adventurer escaping eventually and I am also fine with the adventurer settling into a slime colony with no thoughts left in their head beyond getting enveloped in wet warmth and stuffed full.
Proud Young Prince/Local Monsters & Prince's Guardian Looking On (M/any & M)
I picture the prince and his guardian having a somewhat contentious relationship, for them to wind up in a position where the guardian would stand by and watch this. Maybe the prince is a snotty piece of shit who drives everyone serving him crazy, and the guardian is just out of sight pretending he can't hear the cries for help. Maybe the prince is clever but not cautious and the guardian has set something up to teach him a lesson about being more careful—or maybe the king ordered the guardian to arrange such a lesson and this is just a more unorthodox version than usual. There are a lot of messy, nasty motivations possible here and they're great and you should just pick one you enjoy. The monsters, also, could be somewhere out in the wild near the capital city or near whatever provincial outpost the prince is sent to govern... or they could be half tame, part of some ranching operation for exotic pelts or intended for an arena debut or something. Get that prince wrecked nice and hard, and make him so very mortified when he realizes that his guardian has seen him come with monster dick shoved up his ass. (If you want to add sexual tension, sexual history, or on-page sex between the prince and the guardian, that's also fine despite the & in the tag.)
Snake God[dess]/Man Who Comes To [Him|Her] For Power (M/M or F/M)
Thesis: snakes are hot.
Ideally I'd like the man here to be someone who already has some power (a warrior, a priest, a mage) who's too ambitious to settle for what he has and is trying to gain access to a power his opponents/rivals/etc won't have. He knows he'll have to make some kind of bargain with the deity, but maybe isn't prepared for what kind of deal it is or just how high the price is. I'm into the deity being any degree of snaky from "human shaped with slitted eyes, maybe some scales" to naga to just plain giant sapient snake, and also snakes have been associated with hermaphrodism in more than one mythology so if you want to go with a deity not bound to binary sex that's neat. Deity motivations ranging from "it's mating season" to "I need a warm cozy place for these eggs" to "this human's resolve should be tested" to "I'm going to punish this arrogant mortal with my cock(s)" are all good. Does the man get the power he's seeking? If so, is it worth what he had to pay for it? If not, is he allowed to crawl back to civilization humbled, or will he be kept to continue serving?
Arena Champion/Monsters in Rut & Enthusiastic Audience (any/M & any)
I'm really into the version of this where the arena champion didn't know it was coming, so to speak. But if there's one thing a bloodsport audience loves more than the rise of a champion, it's the fall of that champion. So maybe this was done on purpose, the arena owners/organizers having the monsters brought in and made ready for a fighter who thought he was going to show off his swordsmanship and instead is going to get extremely railed. But maybe it was an accident, some factor nobody noticed with a new batch of monsters or something unexpected setting them off. Either way, the audience? Thinks this is a great show. Magic or pheromones contributing to make the champion get more cooperative partway through (maybe an audience member sees he's struggling and helps out?) also fun stuff. This is an incredibly successful day at the arena and they're going to do a lot more shows like this from now on? huge bonus!
Consensual Ships with No Monsters in
Admittedly some of these are a little wobbly about consent due to power imbalance, but I'd like them to stay on the side of "nobody involved actively dislikes doing this" even if an outsider might question how meaningful the consent is.
Imperial Officer/Hotheaded Conscript from Occupied Territory (F/F)
I put this in with my consensual requests because I'm less looking for the officer abusing her power than I am the conscript making every bad decision in the book. Maybe the imperial conquest was long enough ago that it's not an immediate emotional hot button for a young conscript, or maybe she was part of a population that suffered under the old regime and doesn't resent the empire, or—really, that's background stuff. What I'm excited about is this girl having a lot to prove and bravado to spare, and going after her commanding officer's attention with more enthusiasm than sense. I'd be interested in sort of antagonistic flirting, or in thirsty pining with a lot of attempts to be a model soldier, or either of those things combined with a training mission going wrong—relying on each other in a dangerous situation is a classic for a reason! ...Or, honestly, just plain porn with the conscript made to kneel under the officer's desk or bend over it for a little discipline.
Wounded Drow Runaway/Surface Dweller Who Finds Him (M/F)
Semi-exception to my general "no gendered exploitation" preference: if you want to use D&D drow evil matriarchy lore, that's fine! Just please focus more on his future away from that system than his past being caught in it.
There have just been so many ships nominated in exchanges for the last year or so involving some woobie drow and the maybe-scary-maybe-benevolent woman he encounters, and I am big thirsty for the hurt/comfort rescue versions of all of that. This is the ballad of a sad misunderstood stranger whose people are expected to be Evil and the compassionate should-be enemy who looks past that to see a person in pain and in need of help. Please, I just want some sweet recovery and both of them starting to learn about the other as people instead of bogeymen. Healing via petting cute animals or working in a garden also a big plus.
My preference here is for hurt/comfort where the hurt is mostly in the past and alluded to just enough to make the comfort satisfying—e.g., he flinches reflexively when his rescuer moves too quickly, yes; extensive description of how his owner or commander used to beat him, no thank you; mention of a castration scar or that affecting how runaway/rescuer sex happens, good; extended flashback to the castration process, not my jam.
Formerly Devoted Knight Who Has Reached Their Limit/Prince Of The Nation He Wants To Defect To (M/M)
I am so interested in finding out why this knight's devotion has dissolved! It seems like there are two major trends here: the knight's nation has become corrupt and he wants to leave for somewhere more in line with his principles, or the knight himself has been corrupted (seduced?) into abandoning his service for whatever this other nation has to offer. Plus, you know, it's shippy, so there's some kind of personal attraction built into this shift of allegiances that the knight may or may not want to acknowledge is an important factor. Is this prince a shining beacon of hope giving the knight a new chance to live with honor, or a Dark Fuck Prince whose charisma fuels his unprincipled conquests? Either way is really neat, and they're very different stories! I'd love to see you tell me either one of them. The knight being significantly (10-20 years) older than the prince is also a nice bonus.
Unscrupulous Warlord/Living Weapon Completely Loyal To Him/Her (M/M) or (F/F)
Please roll around in this warlord being ruthless and ambitious but maybe a little hedonistic in their off hours; my historical problematic fave is Oda Nobunaga, if that gives you any direction. The living weapon could be a cyborg or supersoldier, a demon or half-demon warrior, a fierce corpse like Wen Ning, or even a "regular" person of exceptional skill and ferocity. Do they have triumph sex after a battle? Does the weapon return from an assassination mission with proof of the kill and get rewarded? Are they indulging in the fine luxuries of a seized palace (fancy baths! silk sheets!) while the warlord admires how lovely their pet killer is? The key kink bits for me are the weapon thinking that the warlord is peerless and worth every ounce of their devotion, and the warlord thinking of the weapon as a beautiful, precious object to use as they see fit. Age difference with a silver fox warlord and youthful weapon and/or size difference with a powerfully built warlord and slight/slender weapon are great bonuses.
Nonconsensual Ships With No Monsters In
I guess they're still not quite entirely human, but these are ones where I'm not kinking so much on physical monstrosity.
Male Rock Star Who Sold His Soul to the Devil/The Devil Come to Collect His Due
I love everything about the legends of musicians selling their souls for talent/fame, I love rock stars, I love decadence narratives, I just have a tremendous soft spot for all of this. The devil wins, that's all I ask. The rock star made a bad decision and doesn't have a get out of jail free card. So how does it go? Maybe it's a nightmare of being back at the crossroads where he first made the deal. Maybe he can see the devil in the crowd and tries to flee, but there's nowhere to go. Maybe he brings a groupie backstage and things start to get good and then the kid starts to transform. Maybe the devil is waiting in his green room, or in the tour bus, or in the fancy hotel room the band was probably going to trash. Spooky and sexy and leaning into the way that the devil has control of the situation now are all fantastic.
Ambitious Emperor/His Most Loyal General/Spoils from General's Latest Conquest (M/M/M)
I'm here for the general's adoration of his liege, the emperor's appreciation of his conquering hero, and both of them enjoying the spoils with the same attitude as one would enjoy a good meal: comfortably, sensually, and without any consideration for the feelings of the food. Maybe the emperor is coming to tour a territory that the general's forces have seized; maybe the general has returned to the capital to be recognized for a triumph. The spoils might be politically loaded—a former prince or military leader, or the son of someone who spoke out against the empire?—or possibly just a particularly beautiful one of the conquered people. Or a former pleasure slave of the now-deposed rulers, already broken to his role! Kinking on other aspects of imperial luxury/power is also really good here. Also a nonhuman people ruling the empire (cats are terrible at hierarchy but catpeople would be v hot), whether that's just the emperor or both him and his general. Give these villains a good day, please.
Sentient Dungeon/Adventurer (other/any)
The possibilities! Did this adventurer go in solo? Did they have a party and get separated? Has the dungeon been picking off party members one at a time for lascivious purposes? And what's the dungeon's M.O.? Are there locks that can only be opened with come and levers that have to be ridden to make them move? Does a hole in one wall close down around a pleasing adventurer to leave them stuck, unable to fend off explorations? Are there animate vines or living statuary moving at the will of the dungeon itself? Is the dungeon bored, or experimenting, or does it feed like an incubus/succubus on mortal pleasure—or is it impossible to even understand? This prompt probably leads to a certain amount of silliness but I'd love to have that also flavored with the helplessness and potential for overwhelming excess that go along with having a completely inhuman, much bigger force at the helm.
Queen Corrupted by Demons/Her Little Sister She's Obsessively in Love With (F/F)
The queen and her younger sister were always close, never rivals for the throne or estranged by politicking; perhaps the younger sister was a scholar or a warrior or had some other pursuit that she would rather do than govern. But since the demons got their claws into her (and explore that as much as you want!), the queen's affection has taken a darker and more possessive turn. I'd really love to see her eroding her sister's sense of propriety, laying increasingly intimate claim to her body and mind both, by both mundane and magical means: hypnosis, inappropriate touching that turns to actual sex, enchanted jewelry (enchanted piercing jewelry?) that she can activate for an aphrodisiac effect, giving her sister toys to wear under her clothes (that she can activate while they're in public?), demon-silk rope bondage to hold her sister exposed and aroused for her to admire and eventually satisfy, a finely wrought collar and beautiful chain to bind her dearest sister to the foot of her throne... I'd just love to see the queen reduce her sister to a sweet, compliant sex toy whom she then adores.
Power dynamics thoughts:
Compelling power dynamics are where my id lives! They're baked into a lot of the ships I request and generally welcome elsewhere too. The only common kink/trope of this sort that I'd prefer to avoid is teacher/student, specifically within formal education systems; something like master/disciple or mentor/apprentice outside the educational-institution context is fine.
As mentioned briefly in my DNWs, I'm extremely touchy about gender and exploitation. I don't enjoy worldbuilding where gender defines someone's social standing, whether that's repressive misogynist cultures, evil matriarchies, or dystopias that discriminate against fantasy genders like omegas. I absolutely don't want an aggressor in any dubcon/noncon who is motivated by their victim's gender. In general, for a mixed-gender ship, your safest bet is a dynamic involving mutual respect even if the characters have differing degrees of power. (This does not apply to male monsters/female monsterfuckee noncon; in that case, just please don't imply/state that being female is the reason she gets victimized.)
In consensual ships: I really like consensual ships where there's a real-world power difference that the characters are aware of and are trying to negotiate thoughtfully. I feel like the key (and also the tricky bit) is having the person with power take care not to overstep boundaries but also not disrespect the other person's agency by going "oh but they can't meaningfully consent because of this." Frankly I'll assume they're doing it right unless you show me them doing it wrong; if you don't write the socially dominant party being thoughtless with their power or taking choices away from their partner "for their own good", the rest is gravy. I'm also fine with public vs private roles being reversed, being maintained, or the two of them trying to fuck as equals—just show me why they like it that way and I'll like it too.
In "the characters treat this as consensual, but" ships: By this I mean stuff with a severe power imbalance and a level of loyalty or devotion that looks wrong from the outside, like the living weapon who wouldn't dream of questioning orders, or the slave who adores their master. There's a gentle background sense of past brainwashing or mindbreak here, and I love seeing it look sweet with that rotten foundation. The character without power doesn't see the problem and the character with power doesn't view it as a problem, and I like the "cherishing"/possessive objectification and the object thereof understanding it as meaningful affection. This is extremely hard to pull off in a mixed-gender ship but I enjoy it in m/m and f/f both.
In dubcon/noncon acknowledged as such: I have the easiest time enjoying these dynamics when the victim has some degree of privilege (or believes they do) and is kind of a dirtbag about it: haughty princess claimed as a war prize, arrogant magic student who can't actually control that summoned tentacle beast like he thought he could, rich boy who finally can't just pay off a problem and is going to have to surrender a very different currency to get out of trouble. Still, things without the break-the-haughty element can work too, especially with more narrative sympathy for the victim and more sense that they're going to pull through this and be able to get on with their lives. Scrappy survivors who aren't going to be defeated no matter how many times the monsters make them come are fun to cheer for.
Original work stories that kink on the existing social order being used to exploit the people at the bottom of it (e.g., heartless nobleman rapes virgin chamber maid, mean girls in a matriarchal society rape shy male classmate) are almost always bonerkill for me.
