Dear Smut4Smut Creator,

I'm

greygerbil on AO3, thank you for writing or drawing for me! Right from the start, I want to say you don’t have to do anything with my prompts, they’re just here in case you want some ideas. If it has my pairing and avoids my DNWs, I’m sure I’ll enjoy it! All ratings are great. I included a list of my general likes and smut likes which apply to all my requests. When it comes to kinks, you can include anything not listed under my DNWs.

Feel free to entirely erase the existence of canon relationships or break them up if they get in the way of the pairings I requested, whichever works best with what you’re trying to do.

Some prompts may read like ideas for longer fics, but if you’re interested in them, please just grab a scene with the general idea out of the middle of those hypothetical longfics and write me that! I love fic of all length and don’t want anyone to feel like they have to go above the minimum word count. I just get excited writing prompts sometimes.

Considering the number of canons I like where you slaughter your way through untold heaps of NPCs, I should also point out I generally have no problem with gore, blood, and graphic violence.

DNWs and Likes

DNWs

permanent death of requested characters (they can die temporarily and come back to life, though; if a character canonically dies and is not part of the pairing you’re creating for but just requested in a different pairing, they can also die; MDSZ/Untamed characters can also stick around as fully conscious fierce corpses or fully conscious spirits)

requested characters cheating on anybody

unrequested open relationships or poly for requested pairings (threesomes can start out as open relationships between two or three of the characters, or have two characters simultaneously fall for a third, or have unclear FWB-who-are-pining lines, but I'd like them to eventually become closed triads and for no one to deliberately cheat on someone else while it’s clear that the rules of their relationship don’t allow being with others)

noncon including sexual assault attempts (mentioning/discussing/describing canonical instances of SA & noncon is fine, as is mentioning noncon that doesn’t happen to or between the requested characters)

completely unhappy endings (vaguely hopeful or bittersweet is fine, just not full dark)

smut involving underage characters (under 18) (it can be referenced as backstory, but I wouldn’t want any explicit scenes with underage characters)

unrequested non-canonical incest (for requested characters, not a problem for background characters)

ageplay, diaper play, daddy or mommy kink

raceplay

scat, emetophilia

necrophilia (MDSZ/Untamed’s fierce corpses with full human-level consciousness wouldn’t count as this for me, neither would fully conscious spirits)

cannibalism, debilitating mutilation of requested characters for sexual pleasure, vore

crackfic (humour is great, but I don’t enjoy complete randomness)

high school/college AUs (other modern AUs as well as all other sorts of AUs are fine; modern characters just going to school or college as part of their life at some point is also no problem, Modern AU characters mentioning going to university or school is also fine; basically, I just don't want it to be the main setting)

1st and 2nd person POV (they are fine for epistolary fic and mock articles/social media entries/documents/research papers, though)

Likes

UST (and also eventual resolving of UST)

friends to lovers, enemies to lovers, enemies to friends to lovers, friends with benefits to romance

battle couples fighting together

loyalty kink

admiring competence/skill

sparring

protectiveness

possessiveness

hurt/comfort

fluff

mpreg
kidfic

epistolaryfic

angst

arranged marriage turning into marriage of love, characters pretending to be in a relationship falling in love

tough characters being driven to their breaking point

character who is suffering trying to soldier through

hurt character trying to comfort distressed person who is helping them

dancing

one partner manhandling the other

focus on height differences if applicable

Soulmate AUs, played straight or averted

Kemononimi AUs (I don’t even need an explanation, though having one could be fun, but feel free to just give somebody animal ears and a tail)

Wing AUs

Modern AUs

I also enjoy A/B/O AUs and gave some ideas who I’d like to take which role in the header under every pairing. Male omegas can have the cis gender set of genitalia or have a vagina in addition, either is fine for me! Alphas can have knots or not, whichever you like. For mpreg childbirth, A/B/O or otherwise, feel free to give them new genitalia to manage it or just have an anal birth or a Caesarian. Male lactation is also fine to include.

Smut Likes

rough sex

slow, loving sex

marking with biting and love bites, scratch marks, bruises

overstimulation

focus on hands, fingering, handjobs

intercrural, intergluteal

oral

anal

rimming

body worship

first times (in general, or with that partner, or with a partner of that gender)

BDSM, D/s, honour bondage (as well as regular bondage)

generally playing around with dominance, one character calling the shots very clearly, or both challenging each other during sex, fighting for control

however, I also love smut that is just really vanilla and fluffy and gentle

for vampires (and other people who don’t do lasting damage to each other): bloodplay

Art Likes

Generally, I enjoy a wide variety of different art styles, from realistic paintings to manga to western comics to 3D/render and pixel art and everything in between, so please feel free to go with whatever you enjoy. I like black-and-white lineart just as much as elaborately shaded coal or pencil drawings and, of course, colours of every sort, traditional and digital alike. I’d very much like to see my requested pairings in your style, but if you have a specific stylistic idea, that’s always super fun, too. I don’t have pairing-specific art prompts this time, but I hope the tags themselves can work as inspiration.

SK8 the Infinity: Kaoru Sakurayashiki/Kojiro Nanjo

They’re like cat and dog and fight all the time, and yet you can immediately sense how important they are to each other. Whether you want to write them as long-term boyfriends or friends who have been pining for ages and only now figure it out, I’m happy about either. Fic set before, during, or after the show is all great. I’d prefer fic of them as adults, but prequel fic of them at school is also an option, though I’d like both of them to be at least eighteen years old if you’re going for smut. Flashbacks are always cool, though! I’d also be very interested in fic that happens in the years between them graduating school and being in the obviously quite established professional positions they are in during the show. For smut, I prefer bottom and sub Kojiro. If you include mpreg, I prefer pregnant Kojiro. For A/B/O, I prefer omega Kojiro and alpha or beta Kaoru.

Blow Jobs

I really enjoy fics about blow jobs of any sort! Some adjacent tropes I like, though by no means an exhaustive list: one person kneeling in front of the other to give a blowjob, 69, lazy morning blow job, clandestine blow job under the table while the other person is trying to get things done or other people are in the room (though I’d prefer it if they were not found out), the one giving the blow job pinning the other one’s hips down, face-fucking, hair-grabbing and hair-pulling by the one getting the blowjob (or grabbing the head where no hair available), gently cradling the head of the one giving the blowjob and/or stroking their hair, sloppy blow jobs, deep throating, getting come all over someone’s face, swallowing come.

Cuddling & Snuggling

I do love soft, cuddly sex, so any version of that would be great here. Whether it’s sleepy morning sex or they’re just both too exhausted to do anything high energy at the moment, or whether they’re just in the mood to be very close with their partner right now, all would be great. Frottage and handjobs work great for this sort of thing, but I’m also happy for penetrative sex (or any other sex act) that ends up being really close and cuddly. Oh, and of course post-coital cuddling or cuddling that leads to sex would also be great!

Kaoru seems like the kind of person who won’t admit that he wants to snuggle, but Kojiro has a sensor for it, so he makes sure to make sex extra cuddly when he feels that Kaoru is in the mood for it.

Maybe they’re mutually pining FWB, so cuddly sex is the excuse they both use to get close to each other. Can they figure out that as much as they love their intimate, soft sex, they’d also just like to hug with their clothes on sometimes?

Position - Wall Sex

Such a great variety of positions here, too. I suppose Kojiro is too heavy to lift him, but Kaoru turning Kojiro around and fucking him against the wall would be really fun. One could also shove the other into a wall while they make out and they end up rutting against each other.

Breast Fucking

I’m just saying, Kojiro is muscular enough that you probably could... and Kaoru takes notice of this fact, not that you could really miss it with the way Kojiro dresses. Does he ask or does Kojiro figure out it’d be something to offer, since it seems like Kaoru really seems to focus on his chest sometimes during sex?

Size - Large Cock

I would love for Kojiro to get a surprise when he first sees Kaoru undressed. Turns out while Kojiro is bigger overall, Kaoru has him beat in one department.

Or, if they’re older, Kojiro might already have seen Kaoru in public changing rooms and onsens and such over the years, so he’s quite aware of the size of Kaoru, and it may have played a significant role in his fantasies.

Of course, Kaoru is perhaps also on the “grower, not shower” side, so even if Kojiro has seen him naked, it could still be a surprise!

If Kojiro hasn’t bottomed (much) before, maybe he has to work up to taking Kaoru. I’m sure Kaoru is happy to help.

Sex Toys - Vibrator Inside A Is Controlled Remotely By B In Public Setting

Would love for Kaoru to do this to Kojiro. Maybe he even designs and builds a vibrator exactly to his standards. (Maybe his Carla armband also functions as the remote and Kojiro is ambivalent about how intimately Carla is involved in their sex life now, lol.)

Kaoru being very mean with the remote and Kojiro suffering (but happily so) would be great. If Kojiro is going to pick a fight with Kaoru while Kaoru is holding the remote, he really should have considered the consequences!

Argument leads to sex

I mean, they fight all the time, so statistically this happens pretty often! Would love to have them take their squabbling banter energy into sex as well.

Or maybe it’s actually a serious argument in which they finally manage to confess that they’re in love?

Possessive Sex

Kojiro is a bit of a flirt and Kaoru is not above making him jealous to get a reaction, so this could definitely go either way. I bet they have fun with it, though.

Perhaps post-canon, Kaoru and Kojiro get closer with Adam again. However, Kaoru might be Adam’s ex, or Kaoru actually broke up with Kojiro over Adam at some point when they were teenagers, or maybe Kojiro just always thought it felt like there was UST between the two. He knows it’s probably in his head, but he’s a little less easy-going during sex... Kaoru investigates.

Characters mutually pining finally get together and have amazing sex

Perfect for these two. How many years did it take them to figure out that they wanted to be together? However long it was, now they have time to make up for.

Inappropriately-timed emotional conversations

Given the thrust of this exchange, I’m thinking someone blurts out something in the middle of sex or right afterwards and then the other person picks up the ball and they’re just having this conversation now with their pants down? Maybe these two are squabbling again while fucking as pining FWB and one of them accidentally let’s something too revealing slip, or perhaps a moment of post-orgasm bliss comes with a love declaration they have to deal with now?

First Time Bottoming

Would love this for Kojiro! Maybe people just don’t really come for him when they want to top, so he’s always naturally ended up with bottoms as his partners, maybe he thought he wouldn’t enjoy it (because of some macho preconceptions, or maybe because he has bad experiences with trying), maybe he wasn’t with men before this, or maybe the thought of wanting to try only came with Kaoru. However it goes, I would love for Kaoru to blow his mind.

Dom/sub - Embarrassed about wanting to submit

Kojiro doesn’t think he really fits the role of a sub, physically or maybe even personality-wise, since he’s quite a forward, boisterous guy. Who would be turned on by him kneeling? So he keeps it to himself. Except Kaoru figures it out somehow and he’s quite happy to show Kojiro he’s wrong.

Experience - Experienced Dom/Inexperienced Sub

I would love for Kaoru to be the one who is already deeper into D/s stuff and introducing Kojiro to it. Has Kojiro always wanted to try it, but didn’t really know how to start? Or does he agree to it because he’s easy-going and will try everything once, but then realises he’s really into being Kaoru’s sub?

Bondage - Honour Bondage

Just one of my favourite tropes. Kojiro would be hard to physically restrain in certain situations (like when you don’t want to risk breaking the hotel bed), so maybe this is what they decide on?

A/B/O - Omega is assigned to Alpha

Kojiro gets assigned to Kaoru – it makes sense, they’re good friends, it really seems like they’re already in love. Problem is, they haven’t figured that out yet. How do they react? Does it accidentally help them to get that push from outside?

Or maybe the two of them resist the assignment. They’re rogue skater boys, after all, fuck the police! They might stay officially bonded to make things easier on an administrative level (both of them are transitioning into more regular careers, after all), but they don’t really pretend to be together. Except, actually, they really do like each other, but they’re both worried about pressuring the other. How many years of mutual pining does it take them to figure that out?

For some reason (didn’t think they loved each other, didn’t like assignment process as an idea) Kaoru and Kojiro never really went through with anything but the paperwork. However, some years into their friendship, Kojiro breaks down during a pre-heat/heat and confesses his love. Kaoru was, of course, also pining away.

A/B/O - Smaller Alpha/Larger Omega

I just love anything that focuses on this. Is Kojiro a really forward omega or does he feel a bit awkward about not matching expectations? What about Kaoru? Maybe they don’t mind not being the stereotype, but think the other is more into the traditional stuff, then realise they are wrong?

Omega Kojiro isn’t trying to hide his nature, it’s just that people look at him and think he’s the alphaest alpha that could possible come around. Kojiro is continuously amused by this and thinks Kaoru’s annoyance about omegas and betas hitting on Kojiro is just Kaoru thinking people are being stupid to judge a book by its cover. (It’s not just that.)

Kojiro is a late bloomer who everyone (including himself) thinks is going to be an alpha. When he returns from Italy with all these new muscles and a very recently presented omega nature, he’s very nervous because he doesn’t know if Kaoru still wants him. Kaoru does.

A/B/O - Heat Sex

The two of them have been heat/rut buddies for quite a while (it’s just convenient to have someone you like around for that if you’re single and not have to go fishing for possibly sketchy hook-ups), and might have been pining since quite a while, too. How long does it take them to admit as much to each other, or have it accidentally revealed?

Maybe someone else points out to them that if you regularly have during the heat, hang out several times a week, and possibly live in each other’s apartment sometimes because it’s “more convenient”, then you’re basically in a relationship. Now they have to deal with having their noses pushed in it.

Omega Kojiro being strong enough to sling Kaoru over his shoulder and carry him to bed would be really hot. Kojiro can beg for Kaoru’s cock and mandhandle him at the same time, lol. Kaoru is annoyed, but probably also very turned on.

Kaoru having Kojiro very well handled and making him present face-down, backside up would be really hot as well, though, as it would be if Kaoru fucked him so well even someone as energetic as Kojiro ends up totally satisfied and pliant.

I also really like beta!Kaoru/omega!Kojiro! Perhaps the heat gets painful without help, or perhaps it’s just uncomfortable, but even that is unnecessary if you have a willing partner, right? Beta Kaoru is going to show omega Kojiro that he can easily replace any alpha (and maybe that is indeed the point of his offer). Are they in a relationship, pining friends with benefits already, or do they fall in love while doing this repeatedly? Has Kaoru ever slept with an omega before or gone through a heat with one, or is he new to this?

If Kaoru is a beta, maybe he thinks the Kojiro would rather be with an alpha and expects to get left behind eventually. Kojiro is actually very happy with his beta lover and surprised when he finds out.

A/B/O - Rut Sex

The two of them have been heat/rut buddies since quite a while (it’s just convenient to have someone you like around for that if you’re single and not have to go fishing for possibly sketchy hook-ups), and might have been pining since quite a while, too. How long does it take them to admit as much to each other, or have it accidentally revealed?

Maybe someone else points out to them that if you regularly have sex during the rut, hang out several times a week, and possibly live in each other’s apartment sometimes because it’s “more convenient”, then you’re basically in a relationship. Now they have to deal with having their noses pushed in it.

Alpha Kaoru getting pushy during rut sex would be really fun. I bet Kojiro teases him and pushes back a little, but he might eventually let Kaoru overpower him to sate his instincts.

Maybe Kaoru also doesn’t use physical strength, but still has Kojiro fucked-out and obedient by the end of it. He knows how to wrap him around his finger, after all.

For a variation, maybe alpha Kaoru maybe doesn’t like to spend his ruts with others is because he tends to get really intense ruts. However, Kojiro is strong and convinces him that he’ll be able to keep Kaoru in check if he has to. The rut is actually very fun for both of them (even if Kojiro may walk out with a few bruises).

I also really like alpha!Kaoru/beta!Kojiro! Generally, beta Kojiro agreeing to help Kaoru with the rut would be great. Perhaps it gets painful without help, or perhaps it’s just uncomfortable, but even that is unnecessary if you have a willing partner, right? Are they pining friends with benefits already, or do they fall in love while doing this repeatedly? Has Kojiro ever slept with an alpha before or gone through a rut with one, or is he new to this?

If Kojiro is a beta, maybe he thinks the Kaoru would rather be with an omega and expects to get left behind eventually. Kaoru is actually very happy with his beta lover and surprised when he finds out.

Breeding Kink

Are they surprised how much they are into the whole breeding aspect of making a child? Maybe one of them knew they’d be into it, but was a bit too embarrassed to say, but is very happy to see his partner likes it, too. Or perhaps the one who has the kink accidentally lets something slip during dirty talk and while he’s still panicking, the other just runs with it and they get to indulge.

Whether this is them trying to get pregnant, or kinking on omega Kojiro already being pregnant, both would be great!

Perhaps male betas can very rarely get pregnant by male alphas, but it usually is a happy coincidence and takes years of attempts. It won’t stop beta Kojiro and alpha Kaoru from trying, though! Or perhaps they did indeed get lucky and Kojiro is pregnant. I feel like that the whole “enough prowess to get a beta pregnant” thing could make for pretty hot dirty talk.

Pregnant Sex

Whether it’s A/B/O or any other (handwave) reason for mpreg, Kojiro is pregnant. As he’s growing bigger, him and Kaoru are still having fun in bed, but have to shift tactics a little to accommodate his new size.

Maybe Kaoru had to travel for his job for a couple of months and is surprised how big Kojiro has grown in the meantime – and he’s very attracted to him in this state. While Kojiro is surprised about that, he’s definitely willing.

Cyberpunk 2077 (Video Game): Sandayu Oda/Goro Takemura

Takemura was one of my favourite side characters in this game and we didn’t see much of Oda, but I really enjoyed what we got. Though the dignified middle-aged bodyguard in the pretty suit and the cyberninja with the 2004 jrock hairdo and combat gear are quite the stark contrast, their attitudes are plainly very similar. Their backstory is great, too – that at some point Takemura started being a mentor to Oda, probably when it became clear he was destined for a higher position at Arasaka, and that their relationship then developed into a friendship that lasted for a quite a while before the beginning of the game. The push and pull of that friendship against the intense sense of duty these two have was great to watch. Since I don’t like major character death, I’d like both Takemura and Oda to survive (actually possible!). I’d also prefer if Oda were at least 20 when they first start to get to know each other. I prefer bottom and sub Takemura for smut. If you include mpreg, I prefer pregnant Takemura. For A/B/O, I prefer omega Takemura and alpha or beta Oda.

Blow Jobs

I really enjoy fics about blow jobs of any sort! Some adjacent tropes I like, though by no means an exhaustive list: one person kneeling in front of the other to give a blowjob, 69, lazy morning blow job, clandestine blow job under the table while the other person is trying to get things done or other people are in the room (though I’d prefer it if they were not found out), the one giving the blow job pinning the other one’s hips down, face-fucking, hair-grabbing and hair-pulling by the one getting the blowjob (or grabbing the head where no hair available), gently cradling the head of the one giving the blowjob and/or stroking their hair, sloppy blow jobs, deep throating, getting come all over someone’s face, swallowing come.

I just gotta underline kneeling here again because of the whole samurai aesthetic Takemura has going on, and Takemura being this very stern honourable guy. Him kneeling in front of Oda to give him a blowjob might be super hot to Oda just because it’s Takemura doing it.

Cuddling & Snuggling

I do love soft, cuddly sex, so any version of that would be great here. Whether it’s sleepy morning sex or they’re just both too exhausted to do anything high energy at the moment, or whether they’re just in the mood to be very close with their partner right now, all would be great. Frottage and handjobs work great for this sort of thing, but I’m also happy for penetrative sex (or any other sex act) that ends up being really close and cuddly. Oh, and of course post-coital cuddling or cuddling that leads to sex would also be great!

Position - Wall Sex

Such a great variety of positions here, too. Oda could certainly lift Takemura up and use the wall for purchase, but Oda turning Takemura around and fucking him against the wall would also be really fun. One could also shove the other into a wall while they make out and they end up rutting against each other.

Position - Desk Sex

When you’re busy with important Arasaka business, sometimes you just don’t have any other place to have a quickie! Oda bending Takemura over a desk, or one of them sucking off the other under the desk, or whatever other interesting ways you can imagine that involve this piece of furniture being used to assist during sex, I’d love to see it.

sparring leads to sex

Perfect for them! Maybe a younger Oda suffered a little being up close and personal with his hot mentor, but always having to stay professional. Then, finally they’re together/sleeping together and he can do what he always wanted...

Or maybe the sparring to sex pipeline is fully unplanned and they just get carried away at some point.

Size - Large Cock

Oda has a large cock and Takemura wishes he didn’t know that because it’s one of the many pieces of the puzzle that make up his attraction to him.

Maybe they’re FWB and Oda is pining, thinking that Takemura only picked him out for his cock and he’s otherwise exchangeable in the position. If Takemura learns of that, maybe he can set him straight? The cock is a bonus, but he likes a lot more about Oda.

Maybe Oda’s cock is so large that most people have trouble taking it without pain. Takemura has no plans to back down from this challenge.

First Time Bottoming

That could be interesting for Takemura. Perhaps they’re both used to topping, but Oda is actually the one who has tried bottoming and knows he’s not into it, which Takemura can’t claim. He gives it a shot and realises he actually quite enjoys it.

Perhaps Takemura actually topped Oda, and Oda loves it, but he’d like to top, too. He brings it up and Takemura agrees to try it mostly for his sake, but ends up really liking it.

On the other hand, maybe Takemura is the one who asks about bottoming, or is really enthusiastic when Oda suggests it. People always assume he just wants to top and this change of pace is fascinating to him.

Possessive Sex

Just generally hot. Takemura and Oda are both attractive, so I’m sure they get hit on quite a bit and might feel the need to, at least privately, reassert what is theirs.

Oda and Takemura both left Arasaka for Night City post-game, maybe because Takemura got thrown out and Oda decided to follow. Oda is fine with his new life, but he’s annoyed that he now has to keep running into V, the man who managed to build up quite the connection to Takemura without any help from Arasaka at all and can they stop bantering? Takemura is not dating V and maybe doesn’t even realise that Oda is annoyed or at least why, until it explodes into very possessive sex.

Inappropriately-timed emotional conversations

Given the thrust of this exchange, I’m thinking someone blurts out something in the middle of sex or right afterwards and then the other person picks up the ball and they’re just having this conversation now with their pants down? Maybe these two are bantering while fucking as pining FWB and one of them accidentally lets something too revealing slip, or perhaps a moment of post-orgasm bliss comes with a love declaration they have to deal with now?

Characters mutually pining finally get together and have amazing sex

Would love this for them. Perhaps their friendship shifted over the years, or perhaps they were always attracted to each other, but Takemura thought it was inappropriate and Oda thought he wasn’t interested. Now they’ve finally figured it out and can put all that UST to good use.

Arranged Marriage - Public Consummation

Veering into porn logic, but perhaps Saburo Arasaka and his daughter decide to marry their bodyguards to make their loyalty to each other even more obvious. Public consummation is necessary to prove the marriage is binding.

Which one of them is more nervous? Takemura is somewhat proper, so perhaps he is the one who is stiff and not relaxed and Oda warms him up to it? Or maybe Oda, being generally younger and less experienced with Arasaka weirdness, is calmed down by Takemura. The two of them supporting each other would also be just as great.

I would love to see them getting into the public consummation and giving a pretty great show.

However, hasty public consummation followed by private consummation with more intimacy would also be a good option!

Experience - Inexperienced Dom/Experienced Sub

I love this trope and Takemura training an enthusiastic Oda to be his Dom would be awesome.

This is probably years into their friendship, and if they’re together, even some time into their relationship, because Takemura wouldn’t trust just anybody to make him defenceless – it could compromise Arasaka, after all. Oda knows what a great privilege it is and that trust turns him on even more.

Oda was happy to be Takemura’s mentee in this, too, but eventually, he decides he wants to take the reins and surprise him with something Takemura hasn’t taught him.

Dom/sub - Dominant Character Ruins Their Submissive Mentor

This could relate to the prompt above! However, since the two of them are also mentor/mentee in other ways, maybe this is also something they haven’t discussed in detail before and they just pick up on those vibes from each other. Therefore, Oda decides to be a bit more dominant when they go to bed together for the first time (or Oda tries it after a few times).

Experience - Experienced Dom/Inexperienced Sub

On the other hand, I also like the idea that Oda likes to Dom and when he gets with Takemura, he asks about it and Takemura agrees to try subbing and finds out he enjoys it a lot.

Or maybe it’s not something Oda admits at first, thinking Takemura just won’t go for it, and Takemura finds out accidentally about Oda’s interest in Domming, but turns out to be open to the idea if it is with Oda.

Dom/sub - Embarrassed about wanting to submit

Maybe Takemura never explored his desire to submit because he felt like he shouldn’t have it. Oda manages to coax it out of him and he doesn’t judge him, which makes Takemura give it a shot.

Bondage - Honour Bondage

A favourite trope of mine and perfect for Takemura! He would be so good at it. How did they start doing this? Maybe they just didn’t have utensils or couldn’t risk marks for some reason, but then realised this is really fun? Or maybe one/both of them were already into it.

A/B/O - Omega is assigned to Alpha

By Arasaka, I assume. Perhaps omega Takemura and alpha Oda have had time to get to know each other before the assignment is made, perhaps they know from day one what Oda is here to be, aside from Takemura’s mentee. How do they deal with the situation? They’re obedient to Arasaka, so they probably will do what they’re told, but maybe they are surprised how well the assignment turned out for them?

A/B/O - Rut Sex

Alpha Oda goes into rut at an inopportune moment and maybe he asks omega Takemura for help, maybe Takemura offers it (and maybe they weren’t a hundred per cent serious, but then they just go with it), and they have great sex.

As above, maybe this is an arrangement that says they have to assist each other, which barely hides the fact that they’re in love.

I also really like alpha/beta, so beta Takemura taking alpha Oda’s knot would be awesome.

Would also love to see rut sex in the context of a relationship. Maybe alpha Oda rarely ever feels totally able to let go and relaxed with omegas because he always has to watch his back to keep himself in the best shape for Arasaka, but Takemura is the exception.

A/B/O - Heat Sex

Omega Takemura’s suppressors fail and he goes into heat, which is annoying because he has things to do. He half-jokingly asks alpha Oda if he would help. To his surprise, Oda agrees, and they have really good sex.

Or maybe he asks seriously and it’s something they always do when Takemura has trouble with the heat and it’s definitely just so they’ll be fit for duty, not because they have serious crushes on each other...

I also enjoy beta/omega, with beta Oda showing omega Takemura that he doesn’t need to be an alpha to blow his mind during the heat.

Would also love to see heat sex in the context of a relationship. Maybe omega Takemura rarely ever feels totally safe and relaxed with alphas because he always has to watch his back to keep himself in the best shape for Arasaka, but Oda is the exception.

Pregnant Sex

For A/B/O or any other (handwave) reasons that mrpeg exists, or perhaps because of an Arasaka experiment, Takemura is pregnant. As he’s growing bigger, him and Oda are still having fun in bed, but have to shift tactics a little to accommodate his new size.

Maybe Takemura and Oda have spent a couple of months apart for job reasons and Oda is surprised how big Takemura has grown in the time – and he’s very attracted to him in this state, while Takemura is surprised about that, but willing.

魔道祖师 | Módào Zǔshī: Jiang Cheng/Lan Xichen

This is a pairing I’ve really come to enjoy despite the fact that they don’t have that much contact in canon – at least not that we see because I assume as leaders of major sects, and with Lan Xichen being so close to Jin Ling’s other guardian, they have actually met quite a bit. We know from Lan Xichen’s friendship with Nie Mingjue that he can handle tempestuous temperaments. Also, I feel like Lan Xichen ticks, though not at all, quite a few boxes on Jiang Cheng’s romance checklist, so that’s good! This could be set right after the war (it would probably be difficult after Wei Wuxian’s death due to Lan Xichen’s loyalty to his brother, who does not like Jiang Cheng past the Burial Mound siege, but perhaps Lan Xichen’s and Jiang Cheng’s relationship somehow ends up preventing the whole Wei Wuxian thing from going really south in the first place, or the Wen fled and that entire plot disappears entirely); or it could be post-canon, when they both have to work through their pain. Either way would be interesting! Post-canon, Jiang Cheng is probably not super welcome in the Cloud Recesses courtesy of Lan Wangji as long as he and Wei Wuxian haven’t had some sort of reconciliation, but does Lan Xichen end up facilitating it, or do the two of them end up meeting more once Jiang Cheng drops by sometimes to see Wei Wuxian after having a heart-to-heart with him? For smut, I prefer bottom and sub Lan Xichen. If you include mpreg, I prefer pregnant Lan Xichen. For A/B/O, I prefer omega Lan Xichen and alpha or beta Jiang Cheng.

Blow Jobs

I really enjoy fics about blow jobs of any sort! Some adjacent tropes I like, though by no means an exhaustive list: one person kneeling in front of the other to give a blowjob, 69, lazy morning blow job, clandestine blow job under the table while the other person is trying to get things done or other people are in the room (though I’d prefer it if they were not found out), the one giving the blow job pinning the other one’s hips down, face-fucking, hair-grabbing and hair-pulling by the one getting the blowjob (or grabbing the head where no hair available), gently cradling the head of the one giving the blowjob and/or stroking their hair, sloppy blow jobs, deep throating, getting come all over someone’s face, swallowing come.

Cuddling & Snuggling

I do love soft, cuddly sex, so any version of that would be great here. Whether it’s sleepy morning sex or they’re just both too exhausted to do anything high energy at the moment, or whether they’re just in the mood to be very close with their partner right now, all would be great. Frottage and handjobs work great for this sort of thing, but I’m also happy for penetrative sex (or any other sex act) that ends up being really close and cuddly. Oh, and of course post-coital cuddling or cuddling that leads to sex would also be great!

Jiang Cheng seems like the kind of person who won’t ever admit that he wants to snuggle, but Lan Xichen knows, anyway, so he makes sure to make sex extra cuddly when he feels that Jiang Cheng is in the mood for it.

Praise Kink

Jiang Cheng? Jiang Cheng, haha. I feel like this is something that could so easily apply to him, though he’s very likely not admitting it to himself. However, when Lan Xichen praises him, it really goes through him from head to toe.

Or maybe Jiang Cheng already knows, to his chagrin, that if a handsome, kind man who he likes praises him, that’s going to hit bullseye. He brushes Lan Xichen off brusquely whenever he does it, but Lan Xichen is the sort of person who just naturally ends up praising people, so Jiang Cheng eventually cannot help but lean into it.

However, I could also see this with Lan Xichen. Despite the fact that he’s highly regarded, real personal praise doesn’t really seem the way in the Lan sect, especially not if you’re raised by Lan Qiren, lol. So when Jiang Cheng praises him for something and it goes straight through him, Lan Xichen is surprised, probably embarrassed, and desperate for more.

Possessive Sex

Lan Xichen is apparently the most handsome bachelor of their generation, so I assume he gets quite a lot of people trying to flirt with him. Jiang Cheng isn’t someone who shares easily, though, and that comes out when they sleep together next (and possibly already when he finds an excuse to threaten Lan Xichen’s suitors with his whip, lol).

However, I feel that despite his difficult personality, Jiang Cheng must have admirers as well. Lan Xichen is a much more easy-going guy, so he wouldn’t cause a scene, but perhaps behind closed doors, he wants to reassert that Jiang Cheng already belongs to someone...

Maybe they aren’t even together, but whatever possessiveness they (or one of them) feels they probably don’t even have a right to have over the other ends up with them finally in bed together.

Size - Small Penis

I do love torturing Jiang Cheng, so maybe this is another thing that’s weighing on his self-confidence? He’s not especially well-endowed and eventually, that becomes obvious, of course. He figures this might mean Lan Xichen won’t be interested, or at least won’t want to bottom for him. However, it turns out Lan Xichen actually doesn’t care about size very much or actively prefers smaller because it’s more comfortable for him.

Could be Lan Xichen as well, of course. Does he realise it’s something men tend to be ashamed about or, if they’re perhaps a bit younger here, is he such a sheltered Lan that he’s mostly just surprised at the size difference between the two of them? If he does know, does he worry about Jiang Cheng finding him a bit ridiculous-looking? Jiang Cheng doesn’t care, though.

Size - Large Cock

Of course, I would also like the opposite! Maybe nature did favour Jiang Cheng this one time and he has a big cock. How does Lan Xichen react when he finds out? Is he intrigued? Maybe a bit intimidated if it only comes out in the bedroom? I bet he’d be happy to work up to the challenge, though...

During the war, when they’re fighting together at some point, decorum is lost to necessity and they end up changing/bathing together. Lan Xichen happens to see Jiang Cheng naked and, well... he has certainly never seen a cock that big before. It really doesn’t help his already blooming crush on him at all.

Characters mutually pining finally get together and have amazing sex

This is always such a great trope. With both of them having so many duties to their sects, there are a lot of reasons for them to not confess maybe for actual years; or maybe they even get together only after Guanyin Temple. Of course, along with the tortured pining, I would love to know about the moment when the dam finally breaks! The resulting sex would probably be mind-blowing.

Experience - Older virgin is guided by more experienced younger partner

Perhaps this is after the war and Jiang Cheng is surprised to find out that Lan Xichen did not use the confusion and chaos of war time to make some experiences. That, or Lan Xichen takes after his romantic brother and actually is still a virgin post-canon because he never found that one person he really wants to be with – until Jiang Cheng and him get together.

Lan Xichen is apologetic for having nothing to offer in terms of experience, but Jiang Cheng might actually like the idea of being Lan Xichen’s first (and hopefully only).

Inappropriately-timed emotional conversations

Given the thrust of this exchange, I’m thinking someone blurts out something in the middle of sex or right afterwards and then the other person picks up the ball and they’re just having this conversation now with their pants down? Maybe these two are joking around while fucking as pining FWB and one of them accidentally let’s something too revealing slip, or perhaps a moment of post-orgasm bliss comes with a love declaration they have to deal with now? Jiang Cheng does seem quite closed off emotionally, so I can definitely see him get overwhelmed during sex. On the other hand, Lan Xichen does tend to hide a lot with his smile, too, so it could definitely be him as well.

Ritual Sex

Is it a social ritual or one needed for a night hunt? The first one would be something the Lan and Jiang sect can’t shirk out of reasons for propriety, and the second would of course be necessary to help people! But they do both end up having fun.

Can they just have sex however they want or is there something special that the ritual needs to work (penetrative sex mandatory, certain clothes, weapons that need to be carried...)? Would rather go for something hot than crackfic here, though the characters can of course find it ridiculous and/or embarrassing.

Arranged Marriage - Public Consummation

This is approaching porn logic, so maybe it’s a cultivator tradition, or something people in Lotus Pier have always done, so it’s expected from the Jiang since times immemorial (or an unlikely but ingrained tradidition for the Lan?). Whichever way it happens, the two of them are now on the hook.

Which one is more nervous? The Lan tend to be pretty strict when it comes to this sort of thing, so maybe Lan Xichen is pretty much mortified. On the other hand, perhaps Lan Xichen tries to approach it with a calm mindset while Jiang Cheng is secretly shaking in his boots because he’s worried it’s going to be a public humiliation because he fails to perform somehow. Whichever way it goes, I would love for them to support each other, which would be a great way to realise their marriage is actually starting off pretty well.

I’d love to see them get really into it, perhaps against what they suspected themselves.

However, a quick public consummation followed by a more passionate private one would also be very cute.

Experience - Experienced Dom/Inexperienced Sub

I would love for Dom Jiang Cheng to teach Lan Xichen how to be his sub. How did they get the idea? Did Lan Xichen hear a rumour about what Jiang Cheng used to get up to before him and got curious? Did Jiang Cheng introduce the idea and Lan Xichen thought he would do it because Jiang Cheng seems to like it, but then gets really into it? Anything would be fun!

Domming a sad post-canon Lan Xichen back into a better mindset is certainly not the most orthodox way to go about it, but if it helps...

Dom/sub - Embarrassed about wanting to submit

Lan Xichen is a sect leader and supposed to be an example for his culivators, and besides that, Jiang Cheng is quite a hard-edged man – Lan Xichen really doubts he’d still respect him if he knew about Lan Xichen’s strange desires. How does Jiang Cheng find out, then? Maybe Lan Xichen gets drunk and talks about it? Maybe Jiang Cheng catches Lan Xichen masturbating and there is something in that direction going on? Or maybe Jiang Cheng already suspects it because Lan Xichen reacts really well to stuff like having his wrists pinned to the bed and so on. Jiang Cheng really doesn’t dislike this, either...

Bondage - Honour Bondage

For honour bondage, what I’d really enjoy for this pairing would be Lan Xichen allowing Jiang Cheng to “tie him up” with just his orders. Maybe they just didn’t have any rope at hand and now realise they might not always need it, or they weren’t planning on doing bondage, but dirty talk led them to this. Or maybe Jiang Cheng even rests Zidian against Lan Xichen, so as long as he’s good it’s just lying slack against his skin, but if he doesn’t hold to the agreement, it will sting/bind him?

Bondage - Tied Up

However, I also really like regular bondage! Whether it’s done the good old-fashioned way with rope or whether Zidian is used to tie him, all would be great.

A/B/O - Omega pretending to be alpha is revealed; alpha ship half thought their pining was hopeless

Alpha or beta Jiang Cheng never really wanted an omega, worried that even in that area he’ll be overshadowed by Wei Wuxian, who gets most of the attention from potential suitors. Besides, his crush, Lan Xichen, is an alpha... except, it turns out, he is not. Does Lan Xichen actively hide he is an omega, or did Jiang Cheng simply assume and the revelation is just Lan Xichen or someone else mentioning his nature off-handedly? (This would probably be the case if Lan Xichen had only presented fairly recently, as I assume the news would otherwise have made it through the gossipy cultivation world already.)

Maybe Lan Xichen hides his nature from everybody to keep responsibility off (beta or alpha) Lan Wangji’s shoulders, or a few in his sect know, but the Lan elders are worried the Wen sect will demand their omega as tribute if it’s more widely known; or maybe there’s another reason. Whatever it is, Lan Xichen eventually confides in Jiang Cheng, possibly because he’s going into heat or in another difficult situation. Alpha or beta Jiang Cheng is glad for his trust except now his crush is worse; after all, he could never have married an alpha, since he needs heirs, but now...

Lan Xichen’s nature is revealed against his will and he’s facing a lot of criticism for being the clan leader still, despite having a better suited brother (even though alpha/beta Lan Wangji does not want that position). Jiang Cheng steps in to support him him in public and Lan Xichen is very thankful and perhaps a bit surprised that Jiang Cheng is so obviously in his corner. Jiang Cheng thinks Lan Xichen is more worthy than any of the people criticising him – but it doesn’t mean that the reveal wasn’t interesting in other ways to him...

A/B/O - Omegas are dominant and being chosen as stud alpha is a great honor

And it would be an even greater honour to be chosen by the Lan sect’s leading omega, of course. Jiang Cheng is an obvious choice thanks to his position, but perhaps because of his inferiority complex, he’s still surprised? Or, if this is after Guanyin Temple, he might think Lan Xichen would have to think of him as pathetic, but this isn’t so. Lan Xichen still likes him, in fact...

Jiang Cheng knows it’s an honour to be Lan Xichen’s stud, but it hurts a little bit because Lan Xichen could easily switch him out as he wants, and being allowed to impregnate him really means nothing more than that, anyway, whereas Jiang Cheng is in love. However, Lan Xichen wants more than just someone to get a child on him (whether that is socially accepted or not – maybe alphas are just supposed to be studs and not partners, but they could still have a secret relationship, or even scandalise people by not keeping it a scret).

A/B/O - Rut Sex

Whether it’s the first rut they spend together or the hundredth, I just think this would be fun! Is Jiang Cheng still in control during the rut or does he get pretty wild? Whether Lan Xichen is an omega or a beta, I would love him helping Jiang Cheng.

Maybe Jiang Cheng doesn’t really like his ruts because he doesn’t enjoy being this out of control, but Lan Xichen is strong, so less likely to get hurt, and quite good at handling him, so suddenly Jiang Cheng is enjoying himself.

Specifically for first time sex, maybe Jiang Cheng meets up with Lan Xichen during the war, or perhaps he’s a late bloomer and it happens after the Sunshot Campaign? Either way, Lan Xichen guiding him through his first rut would be really fun (or, alternatively, Lan Xichen hasn’t done this before, either, and the two of them fumble through it together – that would be nice, too).

The rut happens during the war, at a Discussion Conference, during a night hunt, or in any other situation where Jiang Cheng really doesn’t need it. Lan Xichen offers a hand as a fellow sect leader so he can help Jiang Cheng go through it more quickly, but perhaps their feelings are a bit too strong to just let it be that...

A/B/O - Heat Sex

Whether it’s the first heat they spend together or the hundredth, I just think this would be fun! Does Lan Xichen get pliant during the heat, or is he the kind of omega who jumps on his partners and takes what he wants (perhaps to his own great embarrassment)? Maybe it’s a bit of both, the former happening after the fifth round or so, lol. Is Jiang Cheng an alpha or a beta? If he’s a beta, does he worry about being able to please Lan Xichen at first? Or maybe he doesn’t have an A/B/O alignment at all because it’s not common or specifically a Lan thing, but is very alright with the concept that his hot boyfriend is desperate to fuck him for like two days straight.

Specifically for first time sex, maybe Lan Xichen meets up with Jiang Cheng during the war, or perhaps he’s a late bloomer and it happens after the Sunshot Campaign? Either way, Jiang Cheng guiding him through his first heat would be really fun (or, alternatively, Jiang Cheng hasn’t done this before, either, and the two of them fumble through it together – that would be nice, too).

The heat happens during the war, at a Discussion Conference, during a night hunt, or in any other situation where Lan Xichen really doesn’t need it. Jiang Cheng offers a hand as a fellow sect leader so he can help Lan Xichen go through it more quickly, but perhaps their feelings are a bit too strong to just let it be that...

Shutting yourself up in secluded meditation doesn’t stop heats. Jiang Cheng, who visits Cloud Recesses sometimes now after making up with Wei Wuxian, realises what’s going on and, since he always had a bit of a crush, offers his help. It ends up being the things that finally gets Lan Xichen to consider visiting the outside world again.

Breeding Kink

For A/B/O or mpreg being possible for some men for any reason at all (or no reason at all), this would be great to see. Maybe Lan Xichen and Jiang Cheng are kind of shocked how much they like it, but it’s really hot for both of them. Or perhaps one of them is slightly embarrassed, but not surprised because they already knew how much they were into this kink.

For A/B/O if Lan Xichen is a beta, I do love stories where the alpha somehow manages to get their beta lover pregnant, even if the chance is very slim. Maybe they were just playing around with breeding kink and then it happens? Or maybe this is after Lan Xichen is revealed to be pregnant and they’re both getting kind of hot for the idea that Jiang Cheng managed to fuck him so thoroughly he somehow managed to get a beta pregnant.

Maybe mpreg is a thing, but it’s magic or cultivation or something, so having sex doesn’t really factor into it very much. That doesn’t mean that Lan Xichen and Jiang Cheng can’t have fun pretending Jiang Cheng is knocking Lan Xichen up, though.

Or this could be entirely set in the canon world and they’re planning to adopt heirs or something, but now they’re pretending what it would have been like to make their children and getting really into it. (Generally, I would prefer if there was a way for them to acquire children that can be their heirs, since I feel like breeding kink would otherwise turn pretty depressing if they know they’ll eventually have to break up because they actually can’t have children together. However, if you do want to go for kind-of-depressing/melancholy breeding kink and then it turns out, whoops, magic mpreg somehow happened and now Lan Xichen is carrying a kid, that would be interesting, too! I basically just don’t want it to be a thing where the kink foreshadows an unavoidable tragic ending, lol.)

Pregnant sex intertwined with breeding kink is always fun, too, of course!

魔道祖师 | Módào Zǔshī: Nie Huaisang/Lan Xichen

This is such an interesting pairing because depending on the point in the timeline, it could be a cute story about Nie Huaisang’s crush on his older brother’s best friend, or an extremely fraught tale about two men who just came out of a very complicated situation that will leave them unsure about how the other feels about them, or maybe even how they feel about the other. Inbetween are potential AUs where they get in a relationship in the thirteen years between Nie Mingjue’s death and canon and Nie Huaisang tips Lan Xichen off much earlier (we do know from canon Lan Xichen does act against Jin Guangyao when presented with evidence he can’t refute), or where perhaps he doesn’t and leaves his lover Lan Xichen in the dark (maybe because he thinks Lan Xichen is just not a good enough liar to help with his plan, or wouldn’t want to believe him, or would do unwise things like confront Jin Guangyao directly) and they have to mend their broken trust later. All options sound great to me, so have at it! For smut, I prefer bottom and sub Lan Xichen. If you include mpreg, I prefer pregnant Lan Xichen. For A/B/O, I prefer omega Lan Xichen and alpha or beta Nie Huaisang.

Blow Jobs

I really enjoy fics about blow jobs of any sort! Some adjacent tropes I like, though by no means an exhaustive list: one person kneeling in front of the other to give a blowjob, 69, lazy morning blow job, clandestine blow job under the table while the other person is trying to get things done or other people are in the room (though I’d prefer it if they were not found out), the one giving the blow job pinning the other one’s hips down, face-fucking, hair-grabbing and hair-pulling by the one getting the blowjob (or grabbing the head where no hair available), gently cradling the head of the one giving the blowjob and/or stroking their hair, sloppy blow jobs, deep throating, getting come all over someone’s face, swallowing come.

Cuddling & Snuggling

I do love soft, cuddly sex, so any version of that would be great here. Whether it’s sleepy morning sex or they’re just both too exhausted to do anything high energy at the moment, or whether they’re just in the mood to be very close with their partner right now, all would be great. Frottage and handjobs work great for this sort of thing, but I’m also happy for penetrative sex (or any other sex act) that ends up being really close and cuddly. Oh, and of course post-coital cuddling or cuddling that leads to sex would also be great!

Laughter During Sex

I just would really like this for these two? They both deserve to have some fun with a partner who likes them. Whether they’re bantering during sex or something doesn’t go exactly to plan but they end up laughing about, I’d just like for them to enjoy themselves.

Reading Erotic Literature

Nie Huaisang does it canonically! Maybe Lan Xichen stumbles over some of his collection at some point? Does he ask Nie Huaisang, or does he perhaps find himself guiltily going through the books even though he knows he shouldn’t? Does Nie Huaisang catch him? I’m sure he doesn’t mind at all...

Maybe Nie Huaisang also says they should look through some together! Perhaps it’s just something he enjoys doing with his lovers for inspiration, or maybe he’s doing it to loosen up a still somewhat stiff Lan Xichen and show him what people can get up to.

Size - Small Penis

Perhaps Nie Huaisang is built generally proportional, and so he’s not only always compared to his giant brother in general size, he can’t make up for it in intimate matters, either. He’s a bit worried Lan Xichen won’t want him, or at least won’t be into bottoming for him, but it turns out Lan Xichen doesn’t care about size or actually finds smaller cocks much more comfortable.

I could also see Nie Huaisang be the kind of guy who doesn’t really let it get him down, though. Sure, maybe he’s smaller down there, but he’s got some tricks up his sleeve! Lan Xichen is smitten no matter his size, too.

Could be Lan Xichen as well, of course. Does he realise it’s something men tend to be ashamed about or, if they’re perhaps a bit younger here, is he such a sheltered Lan that he’s mostly just surprised at the size difference between the two of them? If he does know, does he worry about Nie Huaisang finding him a bit ridiculous-looking? Nie Huaisang doesn’t care, though.

Size - Large Cock

Of course, I would also like the opposite! Maybe nature did favour Nie Huaisang and he has a big cock (which probably tends to surprise people). How does Lan Xichen react when he finds out? Is he intrigued? Maybe a bit intimidated if it only comes out in the bedroom? I bet he’d be happy to work up to the challenge, though...

During the war, when Nie Huaisang is in the Cloud Recesses, they end up changing/bathing together. Lan Xichen happens to see Nie Huaisang naked and, well... he has certainly never seen a cock that big before. It really doesn’t help his already blooming crush on him at all.

Praise Kink

Nie Huaisang gets a lot of shit from people, so I could see him being desperate for some praise. Lan Xichen notices this and he doesn’t even have to think very hard about what to say, since there is a lot he likes about Nie Huaisang, after all.

However, I could also see this with Lan Xichen. Despite the fact that he’s highly regarded, real personal praise doesn’t really seem the way in the Lan sect, especially not if you’re raised by Lan Qiren, lol. So when Nie Huaisang praises him for something and it goes straight through him, Lan Xichen is surprised, probably embarrassed, and desperate for more.

Possessive Sex

Lan Xichen is apparently the most handsome bachelor of their generation, so I assume he gets quite a lot of people trying to flirt with him – even if people know about Nie Huaisang, if this is a world where same-sex relationships are allowed, they might not take his claim on Lan Xichen seriously. Nie Huaisang doesn’t want to share, though, and that comes out when they sleep together next. Lan Xichen, of course, never wanted anyone else, anyway.

However, I feel that despite not being a great cultivator, Nie Huaisang must have admirers as well, especially among people who appreciate art and things like that. Lan Xichen is an easy-going guy, so he wouldn’t cause a scene, but perhaps behind closed doors, he wants to reassert that Nie Huaisang already belongs to someone...

Maybe they aren’t even together, but whatever possessiveness they (or one of them) feels they probably don’t even have a right to have over the other ends up with them finally in bed together.

Experience - Older virgin is guided by more experienced younger partner

I could see Nie Huaisang as someone who likes sex and has had it when the opportunity presented itself, since he’s generally someone who likes enjoying himself. Lan Xichen, on the other hand, had to uphold the Lan rules – no frivolities! Nie Huaisang has fun being the one who can teach Lan Xichen something for once, though.

Maybe Lan Xichen is worried that his lack of experience is disappointing to Nie Huaisang, but Nie Huaisang has known Lan Xichen for a long time and already expected this.

First Time Bottoming

Would love this for Lan Xichen! Maybe he’s never bottomed before because he keeps ending up with people who expect him to top and he thinks it’ll be the same with Nie Huaisang and that would be fine (he likes pleasing his partners), but it turns out Nie Huaisang has something else in mind.

Or perhaps the two of them have just fallen into a dynamic where Lan Xichen tops because he’s older, he’s taller, he’s stronger – it just generally seems like the thing to do and it’s not like they don’t enjoy it. Except at some point one of them asks if they could try it the other way around sometimes, and the other is actually very happy to do so.

Inappropriately-timed emotional conversations

Given the thrust of this exchange, I’m thinking someone blurts out something in the middle of sex or right afterwards and then the other person picks up the ball and they’re just having this conversation now with their pants down? Maybe these two are joking around while fucking as pining FWB and one of them accidentally let’s something too revealing slip, or perhaps a moment of post-orgasm bliss comes with a love declaration they have to deal with now?

Maybe they’re also doing emotionally-complicated-not-really-but-probably-hate sex after Guanyin Temple, but then, at some point, they accidentally start talking about their feelings (right in the middle of it).

Characters mutually pining finally get together and have amazing sex

Would love this for them. Perhaps their relationships shifted over the years, or perhaps they were always attracted to each other, but thought the other wasn’t interested. Now they’ve finally figured it out and can put all that UST to good use.

Ritual Sex

Is it a social ritual or one needed for a night hunt? The first one would be something the Lan and Nie sect can’t shirk out of reasons for propriety, and the second would of course be necessary to help people! But they do both end up having fun.

Can they just have sex however they want or is there something special that the ritual needs to work (penetrative sex mandatory, certain clothes, weapons that need to be carried...)? Would rather go for something hot than crackfic here, though the characters can of course find it ridiculous and/or embarrassing.

Arranged Marriage - Public Consummation

This is approaching porn logic, so maybe it’s a cultivator tradition, or something people in Qinghe have always done, so it’s expected from the Nie since times immemorial (or an unlikely but ingrained tradidition for the Lan?). Whichever way it happens, the two of them are now on the hook.

Which one is more nervous? The Lan tend to be pretty strict when it comes to this sort of thing, so maybe Lan Xichen is pretty much mortified. On the other hand, perhaps Lan Xichen tries to approach it with a calm mindset while Nie Huaisang is secretly shaking in his boots because he’s worried it’s going to be a public humiliation because he fails to perform somehow, and people already don’t expect much of him. Whichever way it goes, I would love for them to support each other, which would be a great way to realise their marriage is actually starting off pretty well.

I’d love to see them get really into it, perhaps against what they suspected themselves.

However, a quick public consummation followed by a more passionate private one would also be very cute.

Experience - Experienced Dom/Inexperienced Sub

This would be fun with them. Maybe Nie Huaisang has dabbled in kink more, since he’s obviously well-read on the subject already, and wants to introduce Lan Xichen. Does Lan Xichen find the idea hot from the start or is it something he does because Nie Huaisang seems to be very into it, but then realises he really enjoys being Nie Huaisang’s sub?

Dom/sub - Embarrassed about wanting to submit

Lan Xichen is a sect leader and supposed to be an example for his culivators, so he really doubts Nie Huaisang could still respect him if he knew about Lan Xichen’s strange desires. How does Nie Huaisang find out, then? Maybe Lan Xichen gets drunk and talks about it? Maybe he finds Lan Xichen reading his smut and everything he seems to like has D/s undertones? Maybe Nie Huaisang catches Lan Xichen masturbating and there is something in that direction going on? Or maybe Nie Huaisang already suspects it because Lan Xichen reacts really well to stuff like having his wrists pinned to the bed and so on. Nie Huaisang really doesn’t dislike this, either...

Perhaps Nie Huaisang doesn’t have a lot of experience as a Dom, but he is very willing to learn and really into the idea that somebody wants to submit to him – it’s not usually the effect he has on people.

A/B/O - Omega pretending to be alpha is revealed; alpha ship half thought their pining was hopeless

Maybe there were good reasons to hide that Lan Xichen was an omega, one of them being not making the Wen sect press him into a marriage. In that case, he might decide to reveal his true nature after the Sunshot Campaign. Nie Huaisang is floored, but not unhappy.

Or perhaps Lan Xichen is hiding beyond that because he knows alpha/beta Lan Wangji doesn’t want to be sect leader. Does he privately reveal his nature to Nie Huaisang when they fall in love? Or maybe he’s publically revealed and heavily criticised, but finds and unexpected ally in Nie Huaisang (who genuinely thinks Lan Xichen deserves better treatment, but might still be otherwise interested the reveal).

A/B/O - Omegas are dominant and being chosen as stud alpha is a great honor

And it would be an even greater honour to be chosen by the Lan clan’s leading omega, of course. Nie Huaisang is an obvious choice thanks to his family connections, but perhaps because few people take him seriously as an alpha, he’s still surprised? Or, if this is after Guanyin Temple, he might think Lan Xichen would not want to have anything to do with him anymore. However, Lan Xichen still likes him (even if he might be conflicted about the fact)...

Nie Huaisang knows it’s an honour to be Lan Xichen’s stud, but it hurts a little bit because Lan Xichen could easily switch him out as he wants, and being allowed to impregnate him really means nothing more than that, anyway, whereas Nie Huaisang is in love. However, Lan Xichen wants more than just someone to get a child on him (whether that is socially accepted or not – maybe alphas are just supposed to be studs and not partners, but they could still have a secret relationship, or even scandalise people by not keeping it a scret).

A/B/O - Smaller Alpha/Larger Omega

Just love the general aesthetic of this for them with alpha Nie Huaisang and omega Lan Xichen. People who don’t know them probably mistake Nie Huaisang for the omega all the time – does it bother him or does he enjoy the looks of surprise when they find out? Did they have trouble getting together at first because they thought the other would like a more traditional omega/alpha, but then learned that wasn’t true?

If there is a mating run type of tradition, Nie Huaisang likely doesn’t have a ghost of a chance to catch Lan Xichen and overpower him. However, we do know he’s clever and diligent if he really wants something, so maybe he catches and traps a very pleasantly surprised Lan Xichen? Or maybe Nie Huaisang is sad because he knows he has no chance, but Lan Xichen just suddenly loses a lot of power when he “accidentally” runs into Nie Huaisang...

During rut and/or heat sex, does Lan Xichen allow Nie Huaisang to overpower him, even though they both know he could probably fight him off? The roleplay could still be hot! Or maybe Nie Huaisang thinks of a few tricks to take down his big, strong omega (possibly by making his knees buckle in other ways).

Although I’m sure Nie Huaisang would still find a very horny, heat-addled Lan Xichen throwing him down and riding him very hot, too (Lan Xichen might be a bit embarrassed afterwards, though).

Nie Huaisang learns it’s really fun never having to hold back during the rut, since his omega is so big and strong he can take pretty much anything.

Breeding Kink

For A/B/O or mpreg being possible for some men for any reason at all (or no reason at all), this would be great to see. Maybe Lan Xichen and Nie Huaisang are kind of shocked how much they like it, but it’s really hot for both of them. Or perhaps one of them is slightly embarrassed, but not surprised because they already knew how much they were into this kink.

For A/B/O if Lan Xichen is a beta, I do love stories where the alpha somehow manages to get their beta lover pregnant, even if the chance is very slim. Maybe they were just playing around with breeding kink and then it happens? Or maybe this is after Lan Xichen is revealed to be pregnant and they’re both getting kind of hot for the idea that Nie Huaisang managed to fuck him so thoroughly he somehow managed to get a beta pregnant.

Maybe mpreg is a thing, but it’s magic or cultivation or something, so having sex doesn’t really factor into it very much. That doesn’t mean that Lan Xichen and Nie Huaisang can’t have fun pretending Nie Huaisang is knocking Lan Xichen up, though.

Or this could be entirely set in the canon world and they’re planning to adopt heirs or something, but now they’re pretending what it would have been like to make their children and getting really into it. (Generally, I would prefer if there was a way for them to acquire children that can be their heirs, since I feel like breeding kink would otherwise turn pretty depressing if they know they’ll eventually have to break up because they actually can’t have children together. However, if you do want to go for kind-of-depressing/melancholy breeding kink and then it turns out, whoops, magic mpreg somehow happened and now Lan Xichen is carrying a kid, that would be interesting, too! I basically just don’t want it to be a thing where the kink foreshadows an unavoidable tragic ending, lol.)

Pregnant sex intertwined with breeding kink is always fun, too, of course!

魔道祖师 | Módào Zǔshī: Original Male Character/Lan Xichen

I always like seeing what people come up with when it comes to original characters, and I would really enjoy seeing Lan Xichen bouncing off all kinds of guys you might invent, as I think he has a personality that allows him to get along with quite a lot of different types. Something that starts in his youth or during his time as sect leader would be really fascinating to see, though something post-canon would be just as great. I mean, oh boy, canon did not end well for Lan Xichen, did it? I guess unlike many others, he is not dead, but all his best friends are, he’s learned he should not trust his own judgement even a little bit, is understandably riddled with guilt about both deaths of his sworn brothers, and by the time of the banquet, he seems to be slipping ever deeper into depression. It would be great if he found someone to love and trust, or if he had an existing lover who could give him a hug. I have some ideas below, but anyone over eighteen who is not related to Lan Xichen and wasn't raised by him (like significantly younger disciples of his own sect) works. For smut, I prefer bottom and sub Lan Xichen. If you include mpreg, I prefer pregnant Lan Xichen. For A/B/O, I prefer omega Lan Xichen and alpha or beta OMC.

Blow Jobs

I really enjoy fics about blow jobs of any sort! Some adjacent tropes I like, though by no means an exhaustive list: one person kneeling in front of the other to give a blowjob, 69, lazy morning blow job, clandestine blow job under the table while the other person is trying to get things done or other people are in the room (though I’d prefer it if they were not found out), the one giving the blow job pinning the other one’s hips down, face-fucking, hair-grabbing and hair-pulling by the one getting the blowjob (or grabbing the head where no hair available), gently cradling the head of the one giving the blowjob and/or stroking their hair, sloppy blow jobs, deep throating, getting come all over someone’s face, swallowing come.

Cuddling & Snuggling

I do love soft, cuddly sex, so any version of that would be great here. Whether it’s sleepy morning sex or they’re just both too exhausted to do anything high energy at the moment, or whether they’re just in the mood to be very close with their partner right now, all would be great. Frottage and handjobs work great for this sort of thing, but I’m also happy for penetrative sex (or any other sex act) that ends up being really close and cuddly. Oh, and of course post-coital cuddling or cuddling that leads to sex would also be great!

Experience - Experienced/Virgin

Would love this for Lan Xichen! He kept to the Lan rules and is still a virgin after no longer being a teenager (or perhaps even long after he can be considered young at all), then he runs into the OMC. How does the first time go?

Does Lan Xichen worry he’s going to disappoint the OMC? However, if the OMC knows the Lan, he probably had his suspicions about his level of experience, and even if he doesn’t, he’s happy to teach Lan Xichen as long as he’s willing.

Size - Large Cock

Look, Lan Xichen likes to think of himself as a reasonable person with some manners. He probably hasn’t seen very many cocks, either, so it’s not like he could really fairly compare it. It’s not like he doesn’t like anything else about the OMC, either! It’s just, Lan Xichen might be a little fascinated with the size of his cock. When does the OMC realise?

Position - Wall Sex

Such a great variety of positions here, too. If the OMC is strong enough, maybe he could lift Lan Xichen up and use the wall for purchase, but the OMC turning Lan Xichen around and fucking him against the wall would be really fun, too. One could also shove the other into a wall while they make out and they end up rutting against each other.

Possessive Sex

Lan Xichen is apparently the most handsome bachelor of his generation, so I assume he gets quite a lot of people trying to flirt with him. The OMC doesn’t want to share, though, and that comes out when they sleep together next. Lan Xichen, of course, never wanted anyone else, anyway.

Does the OMC have admirers of his own? Lan Xichen is an easy-going guy, so he wouldn’t cause a scene, but perhaps behind closed doors, he wants to reassert that the OMC already belongs to someone...

Maybe they aren’t even together, but whatever possessiveness they (or one of them) feels they probably don’t even have a right to have over the other ends up with them finally in bed together.

Laughter During Sex

Man, I just want Lan Xichen to have a good time, lol. Whether it’s because they like to banter or because OMC is the kind of person with whom small mistakes and accidents are not a problem but turn funny, or just because Lan Xichen is really that happy, I’d enjoy this trope.

Characters mutually pining finally get together and have amazing sex

Would love this for them. How long where they mutually pining? If the OMC is someone who lives around Gusu or a cultivator of around Lan Xichen’s age, they could have known each other for a long time. However, I’d also love some weeks or months of intense pining. Now that they’ve finally figured it out, they can put all that UST to good use.

Inappropriately-timed emotional conversations

Given the thrust of this exchange, I’m thinking someone blurts out something in the middle of sex or right afterwards and then the other person picks up the ball and they’re just having this conversation now with their pants down? Maybe these two are joking around while fucking as pining FWB and one of them accidentally let’s something too revealing slip, or perhaps a moment of post-orgasm bliss comes with a love declaration they have to deal with now?

Ritual Sex

Is it a social ritual or one needed for a night hunt? The first one would be something the Lan sect and whatever people the OMC belongs to can’t shirk out of reasons for propriety, and the second would of course be necessary to help people! But they do both end up having fun.

Perhaps Lan Xichen is the only cultivator on a difficult job and announces to the local people there that he’ll need someone to help him with this ritual (embarrassing as the contents of that are...). The OMC volunteers.

Can they just have sex however they want or is there something special that the ritual needs to work (penetrative sex mandatory, certain clothes, weapons that need to be carried...)? Would rather go for something hot than crackfic here, though the characters can of course find it ridiculous and/or embarrassing.

Arranged Marriage - Public Consummation

This is approaching porn logic, so maybe it’s a cultivator tradition, or something the OMC’s sect have always done, so it’s expected from them (or an unlikely but ingrained tradidition for the Lan?). Whichever way it happens, the two of them are now on the hook.

Which one is more nervous? The Lan tend to be pretty strict when it comes to this sort of thing, so maybe Lan Xichen is pretty much mortified. On the other hand, perhaps Lan Xichen tries to approach it with a calm mindset while the OMC is uncertain? Whichever way it goes, I would love for them to support each other, which would be a great way to realise their marriage is actually starting off pretty well.

I’d love to see them get really into it, perhaps against what they suspected themselves.

However, a quick public consummation followed by a more passionate private one would also be very cute.

Experience - Experienced Dom/Inexperienced Sub

This would be fun. Maybe the OMC has dabbled in kink more and wants to introduce Lan Xichen to it. Does Lan Xichen find the idea hot from the start or is it something he does because the OMC seems to be very into it, but then realises he really enjoys being the OMC’s sub?

Domming a sad post-canon Lan Xichen back into a better mindset is certainly not the most orthodox way to go about it, but if it helps...

Bondage - Honour Bondage

Would love this with Lan Xichen getting tied up by orders, as it were. He’s very good at following rules, being a Lan, so this seems like something he would excel at! (Of course, I do also love “regular” bondage with utensils, too!)

Dom/sub - Embarrassed about wanting to submit

Lan Xichen is a sect leader and supposed to be an example for his culivators, so he really doubts the OMC could still respect him if he knew about Lan Xichen’s strange desires. How does the OMC find out, then? Maybe Lan Xichen gets drunk and talks about it? Maybe the OMC catches Lan Xichen masturbating and there is something in that direction going on? Or maybe the OMC already suspects it because Lan Xichen reacts really well to stuff like having his wrists pinned to the bed and so on. OMC really doesn’t dislike this, either...

A/B/O - Omega pretending to be alpha is revealed; alpha ship half thought their pining was hopeless

Maybe there were good reasons to hide that Lan Xichen was an omega, one of them being not making the Wen sect press him into a marriage. In that case, he might decide to reveal his true nature after the Sunshot Campaign. The OMC is floored, but not unhappy.

Or perhaps Lan Xichen is hiding beyond that because he knows alpha/beta Lan Wangji doesn’t want to be sect leader. Does he privately reveal his nature to the OMC when they fall in love? Or maybe he’s publically revealed and heavily criticised, but finds an unexpected ally in the OMC (who genuinely thinks Lan Xichen deserves better treatment, but might still be otherwise interested the reveal).

Maybe the OMC is not someone who is really clued into gentry cultivation gossip, so he just assumes that war hero Zewu-Jun must obviously be an alpha, whereas Lan Xichen is really doing nothing to actively hide the fact that he’s an omega, but also just doesn’t mention it for no reason. When does the OMC realise?

A/B/O - Omegas are dominant and being chosen as stud alpha is a great honor

And it would be an even greater honour to be chosen by the Lan sect’s leading omega, of course. Is the OMC an obvious choice thanks to his family connections, or is it a total surprise for him? Were they already together before, or was it just flirting so far?

The OMC knows it’s an honour to be Lan Xichen’s stud, but it hurts a little bit because Lan Xichen could easily switch him out as he wants, and being allowed to impregnate him really means nothing more than that, anyway, whereas the OMC is in love. However, Lan Xichen wants more than just someone to get a child on him (whether that is socially accepted or not – maybe alphas are just supposed to be studs and not partners, but they could still have a secret relationship, or even scandalise people by not keeping it a scret).

A/B/O - Rut Sex

Whether it’s the first rut they spend together or the hundredth, I just think this would be fun! Is the OMC still in control during the rut or does he get pretty wild? Whether Lan Xichen is an omega or a beta, I would love him helping the OMC throught it.

Specifically for first time sex, maybe the OMC is a late bloomer? Lan Xichen guiding him through his first rut would be really fun (or, alternatively, Lan Xichen hasn’t done this before, either, and the two of them fumble through it together – that would be nice, too).

A/B/O - Heat Sex

Whether it’s the first heat they spend together or the hundredth, I just think this would be fun! Does Lan Xichen get pliant during the heat, or is he the kind of omega who jumps on his partners and takes what he wants (perhaps to his own great embarrassment)? Maybe it’s a bit of both, the former happening after the fifth round or so, lol. Is the OMC an alpha or a beta? If he’s a beta, does he worry about being able to please Lan Xichen at first? Or maybe he doesn’t have an A/B/O alignment at all because it’s not common or specifically a Lan thing, but is very alright with the concept that his hot boyfriend is desperate to fuck him for like two days straight.

Specifically for first time sex, maybe Lan Xichen is a late bloomer? The OMC guiding him through his first heat would be really fun (or, alternatively, the OMC hasn’t done this before, either, and the two of them fumble through it together – that would be nice, too).

The heat happens during the war, at a Discussion Conference, during a night hunt, or in any other situation where Lan Xichen really doesn’t need it. The OMC offers a hand so he can help Lan Xichen go through it more quickly, but perhaps their feelings are a bit too strong to just let it be that...

Shutting yourself up in secluded meditation or running your sect while still in deep depression doesn’t stop heats. The OMC is someone who checks on Lan Xichen sometimes, or meets Lan Xichen when he’s out of secluded meditation and in heat, but really not in the mood for it. However, the OMC’s efforts make Lan Xichen feel a lot better for the moment...

Breeding Kink

For A/B/O or mpreg being a thing for some men for any reason at all (or no reason at all), this would be great to see. Maybe Lan Xichen (and possible also the OMC) are kind of shocked how much he/they like playing around with breeding kink, but it’s really hot for both of them.

Maybe mpreg is a thing, but it’s magic or cultivation or something, so having sex doesn’t really factor into it very much. That doesn’t mean that Lan Xichen and the OMC can’t have fun pretending, though.

Or this could be entirely set in the canon world and they’re planning to adopt an heir or something, but now they’re pretending what it would have been like to make their child and getting really into it. (Generally, I would prefer if there was a way for them to acquire a child that can be Lan Xichen’s heir, since I feel like breeding kink would otherwise turn pretty depressing if they know they’ll eventually have to break up because they actually can’t have a child together. However, if you do want to go for kind-of-depressing/melancholy breeding kink and then it turns out, whoops, magic mpreg somehow happened, that would be interesting, too! I basically just don’t want it to be a thing where the kink foreshadows an unavoidable tragic ending, lol.)

Pregnant Sex

Whether it’s because of A/B/O or another (handwave) reason, Lan Xichen is pregnant. As he’s growing bigger, the OMC and him are still having fun in bed, but have to shift tactics a little to accommodate his new size.

Maybe Lan Xichen and the OMC have spent a couple of months apart because one had to go on a longer cultivation mission (or something else to do with the OMC’s job, if he’s not a cultivator) and OMC is surprised how big Lan Xichen has grown in the time – and he’s very attracted to him in this state, while Lan Xichen is surprised about that, but willing.

Pregnant sex is also fun intertwined with breeding kink, of course!

陈情令 | The Untamed: Jiang Cheng/Lan Xichen

This is a pairing I’ve really come to enjoy despite the fact that they don’t have that much contact in canon – at least not that we see because I assume as leaders of major sects, and with Lan Xichen being so close to Jin Ling’s other guardian, they have actually met quite a bit. We know from Lan Xichen’s friendship with Nie Mingjue that he can handle tempestuous temperaments. Also, I feel like Lan Xichen ticks, though not at all, quite a few boxes on Jiang Cheng’s romance checklist, so that’s good! This could be set during the Lan summer camp providing Jiang Cheng is of age, or right after the war (it would probably be difficult after Wei Wuxian’s death due to Lan Xichen’s loyalty to his brother, who does not like Jiang Cheng past the Nightless City siege, but perhaps Lan Xichen’s and Jiang Cheng’s relationship somehow ends up preventing the whole Wei Wuxian thing from going really south in the first place, or the Wen fled and that entire plot disappears entirely); or it could be post-canon, when they both have to work through their pain. Either way would be interesting! Post-canon, Jiang Cheng is probably not super welcome in the Cloud Recesses courtesy of Lan Wangji as long as he and Wei Wuxian haven’t had some sort of reconciliation, but does Lan Xichen end up facilitating it, or do the two of them end up meeting more once Jiang Cheng drops by sometimes to see Wei Wuxian after having a heart-to-heart with him? For smut, I prefer bottom and sub Lan Xichen. If you include mpreg, I prefer pregnant Lan Xichen. For A/B/O, I prefer omega Lan Xichen and alpha or beta Jiang Cheng.

Blow Jobs

I really enjoy fics about blow jobs of any sort! Some adjacent tropes I like, though by no means an exhaustive list: one person kneeling in front of the other to give a blowjob, 69, lazy morning blow job, clandestine blow job under the table while the other person is trying to get things done or other people are in the room (though I’d prefer it if they were not found out), the one giving the blow job pinning the other one’s hips down, face-fucking, hair-grabbing and hair-pulling by the one getting the blowjob (or grabbing the head where no hair available), gently cradling the head of the one giving the blowjob and/or stroking their hair, sloppy blow jobs, deep throating, getting come all over someone’s face, swallowing come.

Cuddling & Snuggling

I do love soft, cuddly sex, so any version of that would be great here. Whether it’s sleepy morning sex or they’re just both too exhausted to do anything high energy at the moment, or whether they’re just in the mood to be very close with their partner right now, all would be great. Frottage and handjobs work great for this sort of thing, but I’m also happy for penetrative sex (or any other sex act) that ends up being really close and cuddly. Oh, and of course post-coital cuddling or cuddling that leads to sex would also be great!

Jiang Cheng seems like the kind of person who won’t ever admit that he wants to snuggle, but Lan Xichen knows, anyway, so he makes sure to make sex extra cuddly when he feels that Jiang Cheng is in the mood for it.

Praise Kink

Jiang Cheng? Jiang Cheng, haha. I feel like this is something that could so easily apply to him, though he’s very likely not admitting it to himself. However, when Lan Xichen praises him, it really goes through him from head to toe.

Or maybe Jiang Cheng already knows, to his chagrin, that if a handsome, kind man who he likes praises him, that’s going to hit bullseye. He brushes Lan Xichen off brusquely whenever he does it, but Lan Xichen is the sort of person who just naturally ends up praising people, so Jiang Cheng eventually cannot help but lean into it.

However, I could also see this with Lan Xichen. Despite the fact that he’s highly regarded, real personal praise doesn’t really seem the way in the Lan sect, especially not if you’re raised by Lan Qiren, lol. So when Jiang Cheng praises him for something and it goes straight through him, Lan Xichen is surprised, probably embarrassed, and desperate for more.

Possessive Sex

Lan Xichen is apparently the most handsome bachelor of their generation, so I assume he gets quite a lot of people trying to flirt with him. Jiang Cheng isn’t someone who shares easily, though, and that comes out when they sleep together next (and possibly already when he finds an excuse to threaten Lan Xichen’s suitors with his whip, lol).

However, I feel that despite his difficult personality, Jiang Cheng must have admirers as well. Lan Xichen is a much more easy-going guy, so he wouldn’t cause a scene, but perhaps behind closed doors, he wants to reassert that Jiang Cheng already belongs to someone...

Maybe they aren’t even together, but whatever possessiveness they (or one of them) feels they probably don’t even have a right to have over the other ends up with them finally in bed together.

Size - Small Penis

I do love torturing Jiang Cheng, so maybe this is another thing that’s weighing on his self-confidence? He’s not especially well-endowed and eventually, that becomes obvious, of course. He figures this might mean Lan Xichen won’t be interested, or at least won’t want to bottom for him. However, it turns out Lan Xichen actually doesn’t care about size very much or actively prefers smaller because it’s more comfortable for him.

Could be Lan Xichen as well, of course. Does he realise it’s something men tend to be ashamed about or, if they’re perhaps a bit younger here, is he such a sheltered Lan that he’s mostly just surprised at the size difference between the two of them? If he does know, does he worry about Jiang Cheng finding him a bit ridiculous-looking? Jiang Cheng doesn’t care, though.

Size - Large Cock

Of course, I would also like the opposite! Maybe nature did favour Jiang Cheng this one time and he has a big cock. How does Lan Xichen react when he finds out? Is he intrigued? Maybe a bit intimidated if it only comes out in the bedroom? I bet he’d be happy to work up to the challenge, though...

During the war, when they’re fighting together at some point, decorum is lost to necessity and they end up changing/bathing together. Lan Xichen happens to see Jiang Cheng naked and, well... he has certainly never seen a cock that big before. It really doesn’t help his already blooming crush on him at all.

Characters mutually pining finally get together and have amazing sex

This is always such a great trope. With both of them having so many duties to their sects, there are a lot of reasons for them to not confess maybe for actual years; or maybe they even get together only after Guanyin Temple. Of course, along with the tortured pining, I would love to know about the moment when the dam finally breaks! The resulting sex would probably be mind-blowing.

Experience - Older virgin is guided by more experienced younger partner

Perhaps this is after the war and Jiang Cheng is surprised to find out that Lan Xichen did not use the confusion and chaos of war time to make some experiences. That, or Lan Xichen takes after his romantic brother and actually is still a virgin post-canon because he never found that one person he really wants to be with – until Jiang Cheng and him get together.

Lan Xichen is apologetic for having nothing to offer in terms of experience, but Jiang Cheng might actually like the idea of being Lan Xichen’s first (and hopefully only).

Inappropriately-timed emotional conversations

Given the thrust of this exchange, I’m thinking someone blurts out something in the middle of sex or right afterwards and then the other person picks up the ball and they’re just having this conversation now with their pants down? Maybe these two are joking around while fucking as pining FWB and one of them accidentally let’s something too revealing slip, or perhaps a moment of post-orgasm bliss comes with a love declaration they have to deal with now? Jiang Cheng does seem quite closed off emotionally, so I can definitely see him get overwhelmed during sex. On the other hand, Lan Xichen does tend to hide a lot with his smile, too, so it could definitely be him as well.

Ritual Sex

Is it a social ritual or one needed for a night hunt? The first one would be something the Lan and Jiang sect can’t shirk out of reasons for propriety, and the second would of course be necessary to help people! But they do both end up having fun.

Can they just have sex however they want or is there something special that the ritual needs to work (penetrative sex mandatory, certain clothes, weapons that need to be carried...)? Would rather go for something hot than crackfic here, though the characters can of course find it ridiculous and/or embarrassing.

Arranged Marriage - Public Consummation

This is approaching porn logic, so maybe it’s a cultivator tradition, or something people in Lotus Pier have always done, so it’s expected from the Jiang since times immemorial (or an unlikely but ingrained tradidition for the Lan?). Whichever way it happens, the two of them are now on the hook.

Which one is more nervous? The Lan tend to be pretty strict when it comes to this sort of thing, so maybe Lan Xichen is pretty much mortified. On the other hand, perhaps Lan Xichen tries to approach it with a calm mindset while Jiang Cheng is secretly shaking in his boots because he’s worried it’s going to be a public humiliation because he fails to perform somehow. Whichever way it goes, I would love for them to support each other, which would be a great way to realise their marriage is actually starting off pretty well.

I’d love to see them get really into it, perhaps against what they suspected themselves.

However, a quick public consummation followed by a more passionate private one would also be very cute.

Experience - Experienced Dom/Inexperienced Sub

I would love for Dom Jiang Cheng to teach Lan Xichen how to be his sub. How did they get the idea? Did Lan Xichen hear a rumour about what Jiang Cheng used to get up to before him and got curious? Did Jiang Cheng introduce the idea and Lan Xichen thought he would do it because Jiang Cheng seems to like it, but then gets really into it? Anything would be fun!

Domming a sad post-canon Lan Xichen back into a better mindset is certainly not the most orthodox way to go about it, but if it helps...

Dom/sub - Embarrassed about wanting to submit

Lan Xichen is a sect leader and supposed to be an example for his culivators, and besides that, Jiang Cheng is quite a hard-edged man – Lan Xichen really doubts he’d still respect him if he knew about Lan Xichen’s strange desires. How does Jiang Cheng find out, then? Maybe Lan Xichen gets drunk and talks about it? Maybe Jiang Cheng catches Lan Xichen masturbating and there is something in that direction going on? Or maybe Jiang Cheng already suspects it because Lan Xichen reacts really well to stuff like having his wrists pinned to the bed and so on. Jiang Cheng really doesn’t dislike this, either...

Bondage - Honour Bondage

For honour bondage, what I’d really enjoy for this pairing would be Lan Xichen allowing Jiang Cheng to “tie him up” with just his orders. Maybe they just didn’t have any rope at hand and now realise they might not always need it, or they weren’t planning on doing bondage, but dirty talk led them to this. Or maybe Jiang Cheng even rests Zidian against Lan Xichen, so as long as he’s good it’s just lying slack against his skin, but if he doesn’t hold to the agreement, it will sting/bind him?

Bondage - Tied Up

However, I also really like regular bondage! Whether it’s done the good old-fashioned way with rope or whether Zidian is used to tie him, all would be great.

A/B/O - Omega pretending to be alpha is revealed; alpha ship half thought their pining was hopeless

Alpha or beta Jiang Cheng never really wanted an omega, worried that even in that area he’ll be overshadowed by Wei Wuxian, who gets most of the attention from potential suitors. Besides, his crush, Lan Xichen, is an alpha... except, it turns out, he is not. Does Lan Xichen actively hide he is an omega, or did Jiang Cheng simply assume and the revelation is just Lan Xichen or someone else mentioning his nature off-handedly? (This would probably be the case if Lan Xichen had only presented fairly recently, as I assume the news would otherwise have made it through the gossipy cultivation world already.)

Maybe Lan Xichen hides his nature from everybody to keep responsibility off (beta or alpha) Lan Wangji’s shoulders, or a few in his sect know, but the Lan elders are worried the Wen sect will demand their omega as tribute if it’s more widely known; or maybe there’s another reason. Whatever it is, Lan Xichen eventually confides in Jiang Cheng, possibly because he’s going into heat or in another difficult situation. Alpha or beta Jiang Cheng is glad for his trust except now his crush is worse; after all, he could never have married an alpha, since he needs heirs, but now...

Lan Xichen’s nature is revealed against his will and he’s facing a lot of criticism for being the clan leader still, despite having a better suited brother (even though alpha/beta Lan Wangji does not want that position). Jiang Cheng steps in to support him him in public and Lan Xichen is very thankful and perhaps a bit surprised that Jiang Cheng is so obviously in his corner. Jiang Cheng thinks Lan Xichen is more worthy than any of the people criticising him – but it doesn’t mean that the reveal wasn’t interesting in other ways to him...

A/B/O - Omegas are dominant and being chosen as stud alpha is a great honor

And it would be an even greater honour to be chosen by the Lan sect’s leading omega, of course. Jiang Cheng is an obvious choice thanks to his position, but perhaps because of his inferiority complex, he’s still surprised? Or, if this is after Guanyin Temple, he might think Lan Xichen would have to think of him as pathetic, but this isn’t so. Lan Xichen still likes him, in fact...

Jiang Cheng knows it’s an honour to be Lan Xichen’s stud, but it hurts a little bit because Lan Xichen could easily switch him out as he wants, and being allowed to impregnate him really means nothing more than that, anyway, whereas Jiang Cheng is in love. However, Lan Xichen wants more than just someone to get a child on him (whether that is socially accepted or not – maybe alphas are just supposed to be studs and not partners, but they could still have a secret relationship, or even scandalise people by not keeping it a scret).

A/B/O - Rut Sex

Whether it’s the first rut they spend together or the hundredth, I just think this would be fun! Is Jiang Cheng still in control during the rut or does he get pretty wild? Whether Lan Xichen is an omega or a beta, I would love him helping Jiang Cheng.

Maybe Jiang Cheng doesn’t really like his ruts because he doesn’t enjoy being this out of control, but Lan Xichen is strong, so less likely to get hurt, and quite good at handling him, so suddenly Jiang Cheng is enjoying himself.

Specifically for first time sex, maybe Jiang Cheng meets up with Lan Xichen during the war, or perhaps he’s a late bloomer and it happens after the Sunshot Campaign? Either way, Lan Xichen guiding him through his first rut would be really fun (or, alternatively, Lan Xichen hasn’t done this before, either, and the two of them fumble through it together – that would be nice, too).

The rut happens during the war, at a Discussion Conference, during a night hunt, or in any other situation where Jiang Cheng really doesn’t need it. Lan Xichen offers a hand as a fellow sect leader so he can help Jiang Cheng go through it more quickly, but perhaps their feelings are a bit too strong to just let it be that...

A/B/O - Heat Sex

Whether it’s the first heat they spend together or the hundredth, I just think this would be fun! Does Lan Xichen get pliant during the heat, or is he the kind of omega who jumps on his partners and takes what he wants (perhaps to his own great embarrassment)? Maybe it’s a bit of both, the former happening after the fifth round or so, lol. Is Jiang Cheng an alpha or a beta? If he’s a beta, does he worry about being able to please Lan Xichen at first? Or maybe he doesn’t have an A/B/O alignment at all because it’s not common or specifically a Lan thing, but is very alright with the concept that his hot boyfriend is desperate to fuck him for like two days straight.

Specifically for first time sex, maybe Lan Xichen meets up with Jiang Cheng during the war, or perhaps he’s a late bloomer and it happens after the Sunshot Campaign? Either way, Jiang Cheng guiding him through his first heat would be really fun (or, alternatively, Jiang Cheng hasn’t done this before, either, and the two of them fumble through it together – that would be nice, too).

The heat happens during the war, at a Discussion Conference, during a night hunt, or in any other situation where Lan Xichen really doesn’t need it. Jiang Cheng offers a hand as a fellow sect leader so he can help Lan Xichen go through it more quickly, but perhaps their feelings are a bit too strong to just let it be that...

Shutting yourself up in secluded meditation doesn’t stop heats. Jiang Cheng, who visits Cloud Recesses sometimes now after making up with Wei Wuxian, realises what’s going on and, since he always had a bit of a crush, offers his help. It ends up being the things that finally gets Lan Xichen to consider visiting the outside world again.

Breeding Kink

For A/B/O or mpreg being possible for some men for any reason at all (or no reason at all), this would be great to see. Maybe Lan Xichen and Jiang Cheng are kind of shocked how much they like it, but it’s really hot for both of them. Or perhaps one of them is slightly embarrassed, but not surprised because they already knew how much they were into this kink.

For A/B/O if Lan Xichen is a beta, I do love stories where the alpha somehow manages to get their beta lover pregnant, even if the chance is very slim. Maybe they were just playing around with breeding kink and then it happens? Or maybe this is after Lan Xichen is revealed to be pregnant and they’re both getting kind of hot for the idea that Jiang Cheng managed to fuck him so thoroughly he somehow managed to get a beta pregnant.

Maybe mpreg is a thing, but it’s magic or cultivation or something, so having sex doesn’t really factor into it very much. That doesn’t mean that Lan Xichen and Jiang Cheng can’t have fun pretending Jiang Cheng is knocking Lan Xichen up, though.

Or this could be entirely set in the canon world and they’re planning to adopt heirs or something, but now they’re pretending what it would have been like to make their children and getting really into it. (Generally, I would prefer if there was a way for them to acquire children that can be their heirs, since I feel like breeding kink would otherwise turn pretty depressing if they know they’ll eventually have to break up because they actually can’t have children together. However, if you do want to go for kind-of-depressing/melancholy breeding kink and then it turns out, whoops, magic mpreg somehow happened and now Lan Xichen is carrying a kid, that would be interesting, too! I basically just don’t want it to be a thing where the kink foreshadows an unavoidable tragic ending, lol.)

Pregnant sex intertwined with breeding kink is always fun, too, of course!

陈情令 | The Untamed: Nie Huaisang/Lan Xichen

This is such an interesting pairing because depending on the point in the timeline, it could be a cute story about Nie Huaisang’s crush on his older brother’s best friend, or an extremely fraught tale about two men who just came out of a very complicated situation that will leave them unsure about how the other feels about them, or maybe even how they feel about the other. Inbetween are potential AUs where they get in a relationship in the thirteen years between Nie Mingjue’s death and canon and Nie Huaisang tips Lan Xichen off much earlier (we do know from canon Lan Xichen does act against Jin Guangyao when presented with evidence he can’t refute), or where perhaps he doesn’t and leaves his lover Lan Xichen in the dark (maybe because he thinks Lan Xichen is just not a good enough liar to help with his plan, or wouldn’t want to believe him, or would do unwise things like confront Jin Guangyao directly) and they have to mend their broken trust later. All options sound great to me, so have at it! For smut, I prefer bottom Lan Xichen. If you include mpreg, I prefer pregnant Lan Xichen. For A/B/O, I prefer omega Lan Xichen and alpha or beta Nie Huaisang.

Blow Jobs

I really enjoy fics about blow jobs of any sort! Some adjacent tropes I like, though by no means an exhaustive list: one person kneeling in front of the other to give a blowjob, 69, lazy morning blow job, clandestine blow job under the table while the other person is trying to get things done or other people are in the room (though I’d prefer it if they were not found out), the one giving the blow job pinning the other one’s hips down, face-fucking, hair-grabbing and hair-pulling by the one getting the blowjob (or grabbing the head where no hair available), gently cradling the head of the one giving the blowjob and/or stroking their hair, sloppy blow jobs, deep throating, getting come all over someone’s face, swallowing come.

Cuddling & Snuggling

I do love soft, cuddly sex, so any version of that would be great here. Whether it’s sleepy morning sex or they’re just both too exhausted to do anything high energy at the moment, or whether they’re just in the mood to be very close with their partner right now, all would be great. Frottage and handjobs work great for this sort of thing, but I’m also happy for penetrative sex (or any other sex act) that ends up being really close and cuddly. Oh, and of course post-coital cuddling or cuddling that leads to sex would also be great!

Laughter During Sex

I just would really like this for these two? They both deserve to have some fun with a partner who likes them. Whether they’re bantering during sex or something doesn’t go exactly to plan but they end up laughing about, I’d just like for them to enjoy themselves.

Reading Erotic Literature

Nie Huaisang does it canonically! Maybe Lan Xichen stumbles over some of his collection at some point? Does he ask Nie Huaisang, or does he perhaps find himself guiltily going through the books even though he knows he shouldn’t? Does Nie Huaisang catch him? I’m sure he doesn’t mind at all...

Maybe Nie Huaisang also says they should look through some together! Perhaps it’s just something he enjoys doing with his lovers for inspiration, or maybe he’s doing it to loosen up a still somewhat stiff Lan Xichen and show him what people can get up to.

Size - Small Penis

Perhaps Nie Huaisang is built generally proportional, and so he’s not only always compared to his giant brother in general size, he can’t make up for it in intimate matters, either. He’s a bit worried Lan Xichen won’t want him, or at least won’t be into bottoming for him, but it turns out Lan Xichen doesn’t care about size or actually finds smaller cocks much more comfortable.

I could also see Nie Huaisang be the kind of guy who doesn’t really let it get him down, though. Sure, maybe he’s smaller down there, but he’s got some tricks up his sleeve! Lan Xichen is smitten no matter his size, too.

Could be Lan Xichen as well, of course. Does he realise it’s something men tend to be ashamed about or, if they’re perhaps a bit younger here, is he such a sheltered Lan that he’s mostly just surprised at the size difference between the two of them? If he does know, does he worry about Nie Huaisang finding him a bit ridiculous-looking? Nie Huaisang doesn’t care, though.

Size - Large Cock

Of course, I would also like the opposite! Maybe nature did favour Nie Huaisang and he has a big cock (which probably tends to surprise people). How does Lan Xichen react when he finds out? Is he intrigued? Maybe a bit intimidated if it only comes out in the bedroom? I bet he’d be happy to work up to the challenge, though...

During the war, when Nie Huaisang is in the Cloud Recesses, they end up changing/bathing together. Lan Xichen happens to see Nie Huaisang naked and, well... he has certainly never seen a cock that big before. It really doesn’t help his already blooming crush on him at all.

Praise Kink

Nie Huaisang gets a lot of shit from people, so I could see him being desperate for some praise. Lan Xichen notices this and he doesn’t even have to think very hard about what to say, since there is a lot he likes about Nie Huaisang, after all.

However, I could also see this with Lan Xichen. Despite the fact that he’s highly regarded, real personal praise doesn’t really seem the way in the Lan sect, especially not if you’re raised by Lan Qiren, lol. So when Nie Huaisang praises him for something and it goes straight through him, Lan Xichen is surprised, probably embarrassed, and desperate for more.

Possessive Sex

Lan Xichen is apparently the most handsome bachelor of their generation, so I assume he gets quite a lot of people trying to flirt with him – even if people know about Nie Huaisang, if this is a world where same-sex relationships are allowed, they might not take his claim on Lan Xichen seriously. Nie Huaisang doesn’t want to share, though, and that comes out when they sleep together next. Lan Xichen, of course, never wanted anyone else, anyway.

However, I feel that despite not being a great cultivator, Nie Huaisang must have admirers as well, especially among people who appreciate art and things like that. Lan Xichen is an easy-going guy, so he wouldn’t cause a scene, but perhaps behind closed doors, he wants to reassert that Nie Huaisang already belongs to someone...

Maybe they aren’t even together, but whatever possessiveness they (or one of them) feels they probably don’t even have a right to have over the other ends up with them finally in bed together.

Experience - Older virgin is guided by more experienced younger partner

I could see Nie Huaisang as someone who likes sex and has had it when the opportunity presented itself, since he’s generally someone who likes enjoying himself. Lan Xichen, on the other hand, had to uphold the Lan rules – no frivolities! Nie Huaisang has fun being the one who can teach Lan Xichen something for once, though.

Maybe Lan Xichen is worried that his lack of experience is disappointing to Nie Huaisang, but Nie Huaisang has known Lan Xichen for a long time and already expected this.

First Time Bottoming

Would love this for Lan Xichen! Maybe he’s never bottomed before because he keeps ending up with people who expect him to top and he thinks it’ll be the same with Nie Huaisang and that would be fine (he likes pleasing his partners), but it turns out Nie Huaisang has something else in mind.

Or perhaps the two of them have just fallen into a dynamic where Lan Xichen tops because he’s older, he’s taller, he’s stronger – it just generally seems like the thing to do and it’s not like they don’t enjoy it. Except at some point one of them asks if they could try it the other way around sometimes, and the other is actually very happy to do so.

Inappropriately-timed emotional conversations

Given the thrust of this exchange, I’m thinking someone blurts out something in the middle of sex or right afterwards and then the other person picks up the ball and they’re just having this conversation now with their pants down? Maybe these two are joking around while fucking as pining FWB and one of them accidentally let’s something too revealing slip, or perhaps a moment of post-orgasm bliss comes with a love declaration they have to deal with now?

Maybe they’re also doing emotionally-complicated-not-really-but-probably-hate sex after Guanyin Temple, but then, at some point, they accidentally start talking about their feelings (right in the middle of it).

Characters mutually pining finally get together and have amazing sex

Would love this for them. Perhaps their relationships shifted over the years, or perhaps they were always attracted to each other, but thought the other wasn’t interested. Now they’ve finally figured it out and can put all that UST to good use.

Ritual Sex

Is it a social ritual or one needed for a night hunt? The first one would be something the Lan and Nie sect can’t shirk out of reasons for propriety, and the second would of course be necessary to help people! But they do both end up having fun.

Can they just have sex however they want or is there something special that the ritual needs to work (penetrative sex mandatory, certain clothes, weapons that need to be carried...)? Would rather go for something hot than crackfic here, though the characters can of course find it ridiculous and/or embarrassing.

Arranged Marriage - Public Consummation

This is approaching porn logic, so maybe it’s a cultivator tradition, or something people in Qinghe have always done, so it’s expected from the Nie since times immemorial (or an unlikely but ingrained tradidition for the Lan?). Whichever way it happens, the two of them are now on the hook.

Which one is more nervous? The Lan tend to be pretty strict when it comes to this sort of thing, so maybe Lan Xichen is pretty much mortified. On the other hand, perhaps Lan Xichen tries to approach it with a calm mindset while Nie Huaisang is secretly shaking in his boots because he’s worried it’s going to be a public humiliation because he fails to perform somehow, and people already don’t expect much of him. Whichever way it goes, I would love for them to support each other, which would be a great way to realise their marriage is actually starting off pretty well.

I’d love to see them get really into it, perhaps against what they suspected themselves.

However, a quick public consummation followed by a more passionate private one would also be very cute.

Experience - Experienced Dom/Inexperienced Sub

This would be fun with them. Maybe Nie Huaisang has dabbled in kink more, since he’s obviously well-read on the subject already, and wants to introduce Lan Xichen. Does Lan Xichen find the idea hot from the start or is it something he does because Nie Huaisang seems to be very into it, but then realises he really enjoys being Nie Huaisang’s sub?

Dom/sub - Embarrassed about wanting to submit

Lan Xichen is a sect leader and supposed to be an example for his culivators, so he really doubts Nie Huaisang could still respect him if he knew about Lan Xichen’s strange desires. How does Nie Huaisang find out, then? Maybe Lan Xichen gets drunk and talks about it? Maybe he finds Lan Xichen reading his smut and everything he seems to like has D/s undertones? Maybe Nie Huaisang catches Lan Xichen masturbating and there is something in that direction going on? Or maybe Nie Huaisang already suspects it because Lan Xichen reacts really well to stuff like having his wrists pinned to the bed and so on. Nie Huaisang really doesn’t dislike this, either...

Perhaps Nie Huaisang doesn’t have a lot of experience as a Dom, but he is very willing to learn and really into the idea that somebody wants to submit to him – it’s not usually the effect he has on people.

A/B/O - Omega pretending to be alpha is revealed; alpha ship half thought their pining was hopeless

Maybe there were good reasons to hide that Lan Xichen was an omega, one of them being not making the Wen sect press him into a marriage. In that case, he might decide to reveal his true nature after the Sunshot Campaign. Nie Huaisang is floored, but not unhappy.

Or perhaps Lan Xichen is hiding beyond that because he knows alpha/beta Lan Wangji doesn’t want to be sect leader. Does he privately reveal his nature to Nie Huaisang when they fall in love? Or maybe he’s publically revealed and heavily criticised, but finds and unexpected ally in Nie Huaisang (who genuinely thinks Lan Xichen deserves better treatment, but might still be otherwise interested the reveal).

A/B/O - Omegas are dominant and being chosen as stud alpha is a great honor

And it would be an even greater honour to be chosen by the Lan clan’s leading omega, of course. Nie Huaisang is an obvious choice thanks to his family connections, but perhaps because few people take him seriously as an alpha, he’s still surprised? Or, if this is after Guanyin Temple, he might think Lan Xichen would not want to have anything to do with him anymore. However, Lan Xichen still likes him (even if he might be conflicted about the fact)...

Nie Huaisang knows it’s an honour to be Lan Xichen’s stud, but it hurts a little bit because Lan Xichen could easily switch him out as he wants, and being allowed to impregnate him really means nothing more than that, anyway, whereas Nie Huaisang is in love. However, Lan Xichen wants more than just someone to get a child on him (whether that is socially accepted or not – maybe alphas are just supposed to be studs and not partners, but they could still have a secret relationship, or even scandalise people by not keeping it a scret).

A/B/O - Smaller Alpha/Larger Omega

Just love the general aesthetic of this for them with alpha Nie Huaisang and omega Lan Xichen. People who don’t know them probably mistake Nie Huaisang for the omega all the time – does it bother him or does he enjoy the looks of surprise when they find out? Did they have trouble getting together at first because they thought the other would like a more traditional omega/alpha, but then learned that wasn’t true?

If there is a mating run type of tradition, Nie Huaisang likely doesn’t have a ghost of a chance to catch Lan Xichen and overpower him. However, we do know he’s clever and diligent if he really wants something, so maybe he catches and traps a very pleasantly surprised Lan Xichen? Or maybe Nie Huaisang is sad because he knows he has no chance, but Lan Xichen just suddenly loses a lot of power when he “accidentally” runs into Nie Huaisang...

During rut and/or heat sex, does Lan Xichen allow Nie Huaisang to overpower him, even though they both know he could probably fight him off? The roleplay could still be hot! Or maybe Nie Huaisang thinks of a few tricks to take down his big, strong omega (possibly by making his knees buckle in other ways).

Although I’m sure Nie Huaisang would still find a very horny, heat-addled Lan Xichen throwing him down and riding him very hot, too (Lan Xichen might be a bit embarrassed afterwards, though).

Nie Huaisang learns it’s really fun never having to hold back during the rut, since his omega is so big and strong he can take pretty much anything.

Breeding Kink

For A/B/O or mpreg being possible for some men for any reason at all (or no reason at all), this would be great to see. Maybe Lan Xichen and Nie Huaisang are kind of shocked how much they like it, but it’s really hot for both of them. Or perhaps one of them is slightly embarrassed, but not surprised because they already knew how much they were into this kink.

For A/B/O if Lan Xichen is a beta, I do love stories where the alpha somehow manages to get their beta lover pregnant, even if the chance is very slim. Maybe they were just playing around with breeding kink and then it happens? Or maybe this is after Lan Xichen is revealed to be pregnant and they’re both getting kind of hot for the idea that Nie Huaisang managed to fuck him so thoroughly he somehow managed to get a beta pregnant.

Maybe mpreg is a thing, but it’s magic or cultivation or something, so having sex doesn’t really factor into it very much. That doesn’t mean that Lan Xichen and Nie Huaisang can’t have fun pretending Nie Huaisang is knocking Lan Xichen up, though.

I basically just don’t want it to be a thing where the kink foreshadows an unavoidable tragic ending, lol.)

Pregnant sex intertwined with breeding kink is always fun, too, of course!

陈情令 | The Untamed: Original Male Character/Lan Xichen

I always like seeing what people come up with when it comes to original characters, and I would really enjoy seeing Lan Xichen bouncing off all kinds of guys you might invent, as I think he has a personality that allows him to get along with quite a lot of different types. Something that starts in his youth or during his time as sect leader would be really fascinating to see, though something post-canon would be just as great. I mean, oh boy, canon did not end well for Lan Xichen, did it? I guess unlike many others, he is not dead, but all his best friends are, he’s learned he should not trust his own judgement even a little bit, and is understandably riddled with guilt about both deaths of his sworn brothers. It would be great if he also found someone to love and trust, or if he had an existing lover who could give him a hug. I have some ideas below, but anyone over eighteen who is not related to Lan Xichen and wasn't raised by him (like significantly younger disciples of his own sect) works. For smut, I prefer bottom and sub Lan Xichen. If you include mpreg, I prefer pregnant Lan Xichen. For A/B/O, I prefer omega Lan Xichen and alpha or beta OMC.

Blow Jobs

I really enjoy fics about blow jobs of any sort! Some adjacent tropes I like, though by no means an exhaustive list: one person kneeling in front of the other to give a blowjob, 69, lazy morning blow job, clandestine blow job under the table while the other person is trying to get things done or other people are in the room (though I’d prefer it if they were not found out), the one giving the blow job pinning the other one’s hips down, face-fucking, hair-grabbing and hair-pulling by the one getting the blowjob (or grabbing the head where no hair available), gently cradling the head of the one giving the blowjob and/or stroking their hair, sloppy blow jobs, deep throating, getting come all over someone’s face, swallowing come.

Cuddling & Snuggling

I do love soft, cuddly sex, so any version of that would be great here. Whether it’s sleepy morning sex or they’re just both too exhausted to do anything high energy at the moment, or whether they’re just in the mood to be very close with their partner right now, all would be great. Frottage and handjobs work great for this sort of thing, but I’m also happy for penetrative sex (or any other sex act) that ends up being really close and cuddly. Oh, and of course post-coital cuddling or cuddling that leads to sex would also be great!

Experience - Experienced/Virgin

Would love this for Lan Xichen! He kept to the Lan rules and is still a virgin after no longer being a teenager (or perhaps even long after he can be considered young at all), then he runs into the OMC. How does the first time go?

Does Lan Xichen worry he’s going to disappoint the OMC? However, if the OMC knows the Lan, he probably had his suspicions about his level of experience, and even if he doesn’t, he’s happy to teach Lan Xichen as long as he’s willing.

Size - Large Cock

Look, Lan Xichen likes to think of himself as a reasonable person with some manners. He probably hasn’t seen very many cocks, either, so it’s not like he could really fairly compare it. It’s not like he doesn’t like anything else about the OMC, either! It’s just, Lan Xichen might be a little fascinated with the size of his cock. When does the OMC realise?

Position - Wall Sex

Such a great variety of positions here, too. If the OMC is strong enough, maybe he could lift Lan Xichen up and use the wall for purchase, but the OMC turning Lan Xichen around and fucking him against the wall would be really fun, too. One could also shove the other into a wall while they make out and they end up rutting against each other.

Possessive Sex

Lan Xichen is apparently the most handsome bachelor of his generation, so I assume he gets quite a lot of people trying to flirt with him. The OMC doesn’t want to share, though, and that comes out when they sleep together next. Lan Xichen, of course, never wanted anyone else, anyway.

Does the OMC have admirers of his own? Lan Xichen is an easy-going guy, so he wouldn’t cause a scene, but perhaps behind closed doors, he wants to reassert that the OMC already belongs to someone...

Maybe they aren’t even together, but whatever possessiveness they (or one of them) feels they probably don’t even have a right to have over the other ends up with them finally in bed together.

Laughter During Sex

Man, I just want Lan Xichen to have a good time, lol. Whether it’s because they like to banter or because OMC is the kind of person with whom small mistakes and accidents are not a problem but turn funny, or just because Lan Xichen is really that happy, I’d enjoy this trope.

Characters mutually pining finally get together and have amazing sex

Would love this for them. How long where they mutually pining? If the OMC is someone who lives around Gusu or a cultivator of around Lan Xichen’s age, they could have known each other for a long time. However, I’d also love some weeks or months of intense pining. Now that they’ve finally figured it out, they can put all that UST to good use.

Inappropriately-timed emotional conversations

Given the thrust of this exchange, I’m thinking someone blurts out something in the middle of sex or right afterwards and then the other person picks up the ball and they’re just having this conversation now with their pants down? Maybe these two are joking around while fucking as pining FWB and one of them accidentally let’s something too revealing slip, or perhaps a moment of post-orgasm bliss comes with a love declaration they have to deal with now?

Ritual Sex

Is it a social ritual or one needed for a night hunt? The first one would be something the Lan sect and whatever people the OMC belongs to can’t shirk out of reasons for propriety, and the second would of course be necessary to help people! But they do both end up having fun.

Perhaps Lan Xichen is the only cultivator on a difficult job and announces to the local people there that he’ll need someone to help him with this ritual (embarrassing as the contents of that are...). The OMC volunteers.

Can they just have sex however they want or is there something special that the ritual needs to work (penetrative sex mandatory, certain clothes, weapons that need to be carried...)? Would rather go for something hot than crackfic here, though the characters can of course find it ridiculous and/or embarrassing.

Arranged Marriage - Public Consummation

This is approaching porn logic, so maybe it’s a cultivator tradition, or something the OMC’s sect have always done, so it’s expected from them (or an unlikely but ingrained tradidition for the Lan?). Whichever way it happens, the two of them are now on the hook.

Which one is more nervous? The Lan tend to be pretty strict when it comes to this sort of thing, so maybe Lan Xichen is pretty much mortified. On the other hand, perhaps Lan Xichen tries to approach it with a calm mindset while the OMC is uncertain? Whichever way it goes, I would love for them to support each other, which would be a great way to realise their marriage is actually starting off pretty well.

I’d love to see them get really into it, perhaps against what they suspected themselves.

However, a quick public consummation followed by a more passionate private one would also be very cute.

Experience - Experienced Dom/Inexperienced Sub

This would be fun. Maybe the OMC has dabbled in kink more and wants to introduce Lan Xichen to it. Does Lan Xichen find the idea hot from the start or is it something he does because the OMC seems to be very into it, but then realises he really enjoys being the OMC’s sub?

Domming a sad post-canon Lan Xichen back into a better mindset is certainly not the most orthodox way to go about it, but if it helps...

Bondage - Honour Bondage

Would love this with Lan Xichen getting tied up by orders, as it were. He’s very good at following rules, being a Lan, so this seems like something he would excel at! (Of course, I do also love “regular” bondage with utensils, too!)

Dom/sub - Embarrassed about wanting to submit

Lan Xichen is a sect leader and supposed to be an example for his culivators, so he really doubts the OMC could still respect him if he knew about Lan Xichen’s strange desires. How does the OMC find out, then? Maybe Lan Xichen gets drunk and talks about it? Maybe the OMC catches Lan Xichen masturbating and there is something in that direction going on? Or maybe the OMC already suspects it because Lan Xichen reacts really well to stuff like having his wrists pinned to the bed and so on. OMC really doesn’t dislike this, either...

A/B/O - Omega pretending to be alpha is revealed; alpha ship half thought their pining was hopeless

Maybe there were good reasons to hide that Lan Xichen was an omega, one of them being not making the Wen sect press him into a marriage. In that case, he might decide to reveal his true nature after the Sunshot Campaign. The OMC is floored, but not unhappy.

Or perhaps Lan Xichen is hiding beyond that because he knows alpha/beta Lan Wangji doesn’t want to be sect leader. Does he privately reveal his nature to the OMC when they fall in love? Or maybe he’s publically revealed and heavily criticised, but finds an unexpected ally in the OMC (who genuinely thinks Lan Xichen deserves better treatment, but might still be otherwise interested the reveal).

Maybe the OMC is not someone who is really clued into gentry cultivation gossip, so he just assumes that war hero Zewu-Jun must obviously be an alpha, whereas Lan Xichen is really doing nothing to actively hide the fact that he’s an omega, but also just doesn’t mention it for no reason. When does the OMC realise?

A/B/O - Omegas are dominant and being chosen as stud alpha is a great honor

And it would be an even greater honour to be chosen by the Lan sect’s leading omega, of course. Is the OMC an obvious choice thanks to his family connections, or is it a total surprise for him? Were they already together before, or was it just flirting so far?

The OMC knows it’s an honour to be Lan Xichen’s stud, but it hurts a little bit because Lan Xichen could easily switch him out as he wants, and being allowed to impregnate him really means nothing more than that, anyway, whereas the OMC is in love. However, Lan Xichen wants more than just someone to get a child on him (whether that is socially accepted or not – maybe alphas are just supposed to be studs and not partners, but they could still have a secret relationship, or even scandalise people by not keeping it a scret).

A/B/O - Rut Sex

Whether it’s the first rut they spend together or the hundredth, I just think this would be fun! Is the OMC still in control during the rut or does he get pretty wild? Whether Lan Xichen is an omega or a beta, I would love him helping the OMC throught it.

Specifically for first time sex, maybe the OMC is a late bloomer? Lan Xichen guiding him through his first rut would be really fun (or, alternatively, Lan Xichen hasn’t done this before, either, and the two of them fumble through it together – that would be nice, too).

A/B/O - Heat Sex

Whether it’s the first heat they spend together or the hundredth, I just think this would be fun! Does Lan Xichen get pliant during the heat, or is he the kind of omega who jumps on his partners and takes what he wants (perhaps to his own great embarrassment)? Maybe it’s a bit of both, the former happening after the fifth round or so, lol. Is the OMC an alpha or a beta? If he’s a beta, does he worry about being able to please Lan Xichen at first? Or maybe he doesn’t have an A/B/O alignment at all because it’s not common or specifically a Lan thing, but is very alright with the concept that his hot boyfriend is desperate to fuck him for like two days straight.

Specifically for first time sex, maybe Lan Xichen is a late bloomer? The OMC guiding him through his first heat would be really fun (or, alternatively, the OMC hasn’t done this before, either, and the two of them fumble through it together – that would be nice, too).

The heat happens during the war, at a Discussion Conference, during a night hunt, or in any other situation where Lan Xichen really doesn’t need it. The OMC offers a hand so he can help Lan Xichen go through it more quickly, but perhaps their feelings are a bit too strong to just let it be that...

Shutting yourself up in secluded meditation or running your sect while still in deep depression doesn’t stop heats. The OMC is someone who checks on Lan Xichen sometimes, or meets Lan Xichen when he’s out of secluded meditation and in heat, but really not in the mood for it. However, the OMC’s efforts make Lan Xichen feel a lot better for the moment...

Breeding Kink

For A/B/O or mpreg being a thing for some men for any reason at all (or no reason at all), this would be great to see. Maybe Lan Xichen (and possible also the OMC) are kind of shocked how much he/they like playing around with breeding kink, but it’s really hot for both of them.

Maybe mpreg is a thing, but it’s magic or cultivation or something, so having sex doesn’t really factor into it very much. That doesn’t mean that Lan Xichen and the OMC can’t have fun pretending, though.

Or this could be entirely set in the canon world and they’re planning to adopt an heir or something, but now they’re pretending what it would have been like to make their child and getting really into it. (Generally, I would prefer if there was a way for them to acquire a child that can be Lan Xichen’s heir, since I feel like breeding kink would otherwise turn pretty depressing if they know they’ll eventually have to break up because they actually can’t have a child together. However, if you do want to go for kind-of-depressing/melancholy breeding kink and then it turns out, whoops, magic mpreg somehow happened, that would be interesting, too! I basically just don’t want it to be a thing where the kink foreshadows an unavoidable tragic ending, lol.)

Pregnant Sex

Whether it’s because of A/B/O or another (handwave) reason, Lan Xichen is pregnant. As he’s growing bigger, the OMC and him are still having fun in bed, but have to shift tactics a little to accommodate his new size.

Maybe Lan Xichen and the OMC have spent a couple of months apart because one had to go on a longer cultivation mission (or something else to do with the OMC’s job, if he’s not a cultivator) and OMC is surprised how big Lan Xichen has grown in the time – and he’s very attracted to him in this state, while Lan Xichen is surprised about that, but willing.

Pregnant sex is also fun intertwined with breeding kink, of course!
