notprimetime fic exhange 2018
Hello, bonjour, thanks for checking out my letter!
All of the stuff i'll list/talk about is very flexible, and aside from the DNW's i'm not terribly fussy about what you choose to write, the freedom is yours! I'd be ecstatic if you use what I'm really into as a guide for your writing, but please don't feel restricted.
As a brief overview, there is very little I don't enjoy. Most specifically I love smut fics, though any rating or type of fic is fine by me. Aside from MCD, I really don't have an issue with any other archive warning. My tumblr is exyking and my ao3 is also exyking, and you can find more on there about the kind of stuff i'm into.
Overall DNW's are:
Captive Prince
Requested: Auguste/Laurent, Auguste/Damen/Laurent, Auguste/Damen, Laurent/Damen
Auguste/Laurent: (ye, i mean incest)
For this pairing i'd adore smut/pwp, but i'd equally love some one-shots or longer fics. It doesn't specifically have to be incest, something about their relationship would also be nice.
In most cases I love them having a sweet, loving relationship, with Laurent being more the instigator and Auguste just the doting older brother. I'd love to see a canon typical Laurent, with all his prickliness, only being soft for his brother, and Auguste being overprotective (whether because of Laurent's past abuse or otherwise). For incest, I generally don't want to read about others 'finding out' about their relationship, or it being considered shameful/disgusting and that being a major plot point. Ideally I'd like a fic where it's a non issue in Vere (maybe it's a historical/traditional practice), or theres little to no mention of how wrong it is.
Any and all of the kinks I mentioned earlier I would love to see applied to this fic, if you're interested in writing pwp. I specifically love Laurent being the bottom in this pairing.
Some prompts:
1) Modern au: Auguste has been away for years, and when he comes back they're both totally different people (Auguste because of his experiences, Laurent having had to grow up with his uncle) and they both start developing strong feelings for each other ~
2) Canon au: Auguste is king and Laurent is his lover (this can be public knowledge or not). Auguste is honourable and good and Laurent does all his dirty work on the side, and they perfectly balance each other. (bonus for smut fic if their good/bad roles are 'subverted' in the bedroom and Auguste is the mean dom/Laurent is the sweet sub)
3) Canon au: Auguste has secret feelings for his little brother and feels guilty, Laurent eventually catches on and starts trying to seduce him/convince Auguste to act on his feelings, but Auguste is too honourable. Eventually Laurent cracks and makes the first move.
(If you'd like to write something dark/dirtybadwrong/explicit: Auguste manipulates his younger brother into a sexual relationship, it's very BSDM heavy with a lot of grooming/sexual training, punishment/maintenance. If its canon era, Auguste likes to parade his brother around the court, or coerces Laurent into servicing him publicly/wearing sex toys in public.)
Auguste/Damen/Laurent:
Again i'd love pwp, but a long fic would also be fantastic.
In terms of the Auguste/Laurent relationship, I love this to be pre-established before Damen rolls in (see above for some ideas on that). I'd love Auguste/Laurent to bring Damen into a 'threesome', or bring him into a polyamorous relationship. I'd love it to be fair and equal without indication of any pairing taking precedence to another.
If you're interested in writing pwp, again see the kinks in the first section. In terms of a threesome, I do love double penetration or spitroasting specifically, with Laurent as the bottom. If not Laurent, then Auguste being the bottom is another preference.
Some prompts:
1) Canon au: Damen is a visiting prince, with a history of friendship with Auguste. He starts eyeing up Laurent, and Auguste is jealous enough to become prickly towards him, which ultimately culminates in Laurent convincing them both into bed, where they compete for dominance over him.
2) Canon au: Auguste and Laurent both show an interest in Damen when they meet him at a feast/summit, and make a plan to convince him either into bed/to join their relationship. They expect Damen to take some convincing, but Damen isn't at all bothered by their relationship (he actually likes it and enjoys watching them).
(dark/dirtybadwrong: bros Auguste and Damen take advantage of Auguste's naive little brother, who just wants to please them/be their friend)
Auguste/Damen
This works either as a seperate pairing, or as a facet of Auguste/Damen/Laurent. If it's a seperate pairing, Auguste and Damen bonding over swordplay/fighting/war and being good friends before they develop feelings/start sleeping together is good. I'm a big fan of the 'getting each other off because there's no woman for miles' trope, and something about Damen feeling more for Auguste than Auguste for him would be interesting. If it's a part of the pairing, i'd like a scenario where Laurent is away, and it's only Damen/Auguste, who've never been together without Laurent and everything feels suddenly new (bonus for fighting over who tops) and are exploring their feelings for each other without Laurent in the mix.
Modern era prompt: Auguste and Damen serve together in the military, and de-stress together when they have some downtown in their very foreign, remote base. Typical military tropes would work excellently here.
Canon era au: Laurent is away visiting the Vaskians or something, Damen and Auguste have some time together (could be in the summer palace if you wanna make it sweet)
Laurent/Damen:
I would absolutely love to see a vampire/creature au for this pairing, or a spy/assassin au. A long fic or a one-shot would be awesome, with or without smut depending on your preference.
For a vampire au, i'd love either a complete au, where the events of captive prince etc. happen, with the only different being Laurent/Vere is/are vampires (and Damen is a hunter or something else), or an au where the events of capri don't happen, but its set in the canon period and everyone/Vere or Akielos are vampires.
Alternatively, a modern au with vampires (either known or unknown) would be awesome as well. I'd specifically love to see Laurent as a vampire, but any combination of vampires/hunters/etc. works for me.
For a spy/assassin au, something Mr and Mrs smith esque would be amazing, or alternatively an au where one of them is hired to kill the other but falls in love/can't go through with it.
Extra double bonus if any of the above is an Auguste lives au as well.
Mass Effect
Requests: Jack | Subject Zero/Female Shepard, Jack | Subject Zero/Miranda Lawson, Kaiden Alenko/Male Shepard
Jack/Female Shepard:
I'd love to see a sentinel Shepard kickin ass with Jack, with both women being total badasses in their own right.
A slice of live/mission snippet from ME2 would be my preference, my biggest preference being it set during Jack's personal mission and the aftermath of that. For a one-shot this could be a sweet an emotional character exploration, with some added smut on the side if you feel like it. Some intense, emotional, comforting sex would be amazing.
Alternatively, their relationship starting out as friendship, with Shepard showing genuine interest in Jack despite her snipes, then developing into a casual relationship where they have sex to de-stress after their missions. Maybe after one particularly dangerous mission, the sex seems to be much more intimate and emotional than usual, and the question of exactly what they're doing comes up. I would love for Shepard to be upfront about her feelings, unashamed of how she feels for Jack, with Jack eventually balking, running away from her emotions, before coming around.
Absolutely no MCD for this, though I don't particularly care if you wanna write the suicide mission and kill off a couple of other squad mates, provided you don't feature them in the story prior to their death, and the aftermath of their death isn't a major feature (though Jack and Shepard working through their grief is fine)
You could also set it during ME3, told through Jack's perspective of her life after ME2, with Shepard eventually showing up. An au where Jack actually joins Shep's team would be cool, or something a little different like Jack and Shep hanging out on Shepards shore leave or something.
Jack/Miranda Lawson:
These two deserve an enemies to lovers fic and we both know it. I need something angsty that starts out with them hating each other, anything game canon works on its own but an added layer of angst with them both loving Shepard (M or F) and either one getting them (and Shepard dying/leaving them) or neither of them getting Shep is great. If you do pwp/explicit, I'd love to see some rough hate sex for them.
Anything during the timeline of ME2 would be awesome, either a mission snippet or from their personal quests. Post ME3 would also be good, with something about them being forced to/having to come together, maybe on the run from the law (Miranda for her crimes with Cerberus, Jack for idk killing everyone who experimented on her) or having to work together on behalf of the Alliance to secure an overrun outpost, or being conscripted to pay for their crimes. Any kind of situation where these two are forced together, ultimately ending in them getting together/falling for each other is my jam.
Kaiden Alenko/Shepard:
I'll take just about any game scenario for these two. I'd like ME1 post Virmire, where Shepard has to deal with choosing Kaiden and Kaiden has to deal with being alive over Ashley, either with Shep/Kaiden as an established relationship or leading to them getting together. Anything else from the game timeline works as well, and I'd love some hurt/comfort for these two.
ME2 reunion where Kaiden doesn't end up turning his back on Shepard? Very nice. An au where he's on the suicide mission/a bigger part of the game story would be awesome. Maybe he helps Shepard come to terms with what happened to him, maybe Shepard helps him come to terms with the grief he felt for years, and the shock of Shepard still being alive. Again, hurt/comfort is very good, these guys go through a lot.
ME3 in game quests/snippets would be awesome, especially some shore leave where the boys get a nice reprieve. Darker themes, like the in game ones, that haunt them both hanging over them would be nice-- make it as intense as you like.
My only DNW for these two is that Kaiden can't die at Virmire, and Shepard can't die at the crucible, or, if he does, avoid writing up to that point.
Dragon Age Origins
Requests: Morrigan/Female Warden, Alistair/Male Warden
Morrigan/Female Warden:
For this pairing, i'd love if the Warden was a human noble (possibly who also has secret magic). I'd love the Warden/Morrigan to have a rough history, with an enemies to friends to lovers, or enemies to lovers trope. I'd love some smut or pwp, but ideally it'd be a longer fic/one shot with the smut as a side facet not the focus.
If the Warden is a mage/noble, Morrigan thinks the Warden is a pathetic mage user/sympathiser, and the Warden who thinks Morrigan is cruel and vindictive. Through forced proximity they eventually learn to coexist (bonus if they have some steaming hate sex after a particularly vicious argument). My preference would be an in-game fic, either as a slice of life or set during a specific quest or storyline (maybe Morrigan's personal quest, where she opens up somewhat about her relationship with her mother to the Warden)
If you include it somewhere-- ideally, for the game resolution, the Warden convinces Alistair and Morrigan to conceive the child, thus avoiding the Bad Ending where anyone dies (though as long as the Warden doesn't die, i'm not crazy fussed if you choose not to do this.)
I'd prefer it not to be post-game, as ideally i'd like to avoid kid fic, but if you'd like to write something about the Warden tracking Morrigan down and finding her I wouldn't be too fussed, as long as the focus isn't on the kid. Alternatively, for an Inquisition era post-game au, the Warden shows up to Val Royeaux (either on a Warden mission or not) and runs into/is reunited with Morrigan. This could either be a happy reunion, or another hate sex match waiting to happen. If you go with something like this, including a layer of angst where Morrigan thought the Warden died after the events of Origins, only to be reunited with her years later, would be awesome. Told through her perspective through inquisiton, something based on the game dialogue she has if the Warden sacrifices themselves and they were a pair would be great.
Alistair/Male Warden:
I'm not too fussed between human noble/dalish elf for this one. If you write human noble, i'd like the Warden to be a rogue, maybe the black-sheep of his family, known for causing trouble and having a laugh, who's trying to work through the trauma of what happened through wit and humour. If you go Dalish elf, then a human hating Dale who hates Alistair at first, though is begrudgingly attracted to whim, who is eventually wooed and falls in love would be ideal (enemies to friends to lovers trope if you like). In either case, my preference would be bottom Alistair (if you write pwp, smut, or otherwise), but i'm not too fussed.
Again i'd prefer an in-game quest/slice of life fic, preferably with lots of party banter. Something set during the Redcliffe quest line would be good, or during the last couple of Denerim quests with a focus on Alistair accepting his place in the line of succession/the Warden either working through it with him or coming to terms with it himself.
(I'd love some good Morrigan/Alistair banter on the side if you can find a place for it, with the Warden preferably being devil's advocate and just sitting back to watch)
In either case, please don't kill anyone in the main pairing to comply with the in game ending (as according to my MCD DNW)
That's a pretty exhaustive list of the things I love and would really love to see. However, once more, those are all just ideas, feel absolutely free to write whatever you want!
