Dear Original Works Opportunity 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.

Fic where the couple is not yet together but clearly in love, or on the road to getting together, or having their first time kissing/in bed together are great. However, so are established relationship fics. Whatever suits your ideas!

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.

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)

requested characters cheating on anybody

unrequested open relationships or poly for requested pairings (threesomes/moresomes can start out as open relationships between two or several of the characters, or have two characters simultaneously fall for a third/others, or have unclear FWB-who-are-pining lines, but I'd like them to eventually become closed triads/groups 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)

unrequested noncon including sexual assault attempts (mentioning/discussing/describing noncon that doesn’t happen to or between the requested characters is fine; and of course, if I have a prompt that includes it, it is totally fine to include as well!)

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

smut involving underage characters (under 18)

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

ageplay, diaper play, daddy or mommy kink

raceplay

rape roleplay

scat, emetophilia

necrophilia

cannibalism, debilitating mutilation of requested characters for sexual pleasure, vore (humanoid monsters can eat corpses/people for sustenance, though)

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

high school/college settings (characters just going to school or college as part of their life at some point is no problem; basically, I just don't want a regular modern high school/college 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

epistolary fic

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

Kemonomimi 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

I also enjoy A/B/O AUs and gave some ideas who I’d like to take which role in the header under most pairings (if there isn’t one, anything is fine). Male omegas can have the male 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)

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.

General Likes for Original Works

Characters and Tropes
I have very few real preferences for characters except that I’d be happy if the men in the pairings were at least 25 years old or older (no limit at all in that direction!) because I enjoy characters who have had some time to gather life experiences. Physically, I mostly like male characters who aren’t super dainty, but anything from skinny to average to chubby to bodybuilder goes. Also, exceptions can of course be made for certain prompts or species – a traditional elf is probably not going to look like Conan the Barbarian.

Feel free to change the characters around to fit your setting and plot ideas. You can interpret my requested kings as chieftains or pharaohs, for example, so with a vaguely equivalent role they would have in a different cultural setting. Also, you can make the characters members of a fantasy or science fiction species, too, if that fits your setting, even if the prompt itself doesn’t specify it. Jaded Warrior King/The Charming Prince Who Is His Betrothed could also be elves or aliens.

Generally, for pairings I prefer aliens who looks vaguely human: somewhat humanoid build, some recognisable facial features, genitalia that’s somewhat equivalent, though the alien could be intersex (in human terms) and/or from a species that looks closer to male humans and thus tends to be viewed as male by humans, but is actually monosex (if you want some visual direction, the playable species of SWTOR or the companions in Mass Effect would all be totally within range of not being too inhuman for my tastes). If you’d rather go with the true-and-tried ‘human but green’ trope from old sci-fi TV series, that would also be super fun.

I enjoy a/b/o, so you can add that to prompts if you like. I actually quite like omegas who are physically stronger than their alphas, but it’s not a must!

I’m into kidfic, mpreg and adoption stories, so if you want any of the requested couples planning a family, go right ahead, even if it’s not inherent to the prompt.

Settings
For historical fiction or fantasy settings, feel free to make up any number of countries for any time period or location in the world, use actually existing ones, or rewrite them to fit your needs (mpreg exists, homophobia doesn’t exist, gender equality was achieved 3000 B.C., for example), or just divorce it from our world entirely. I like high and low fantasy and everything in-between, Tolkien-esque fantasy or fantasy based in completely different mythologies and traditions. For historical or pseudo-historical fantasy settings, I’m especially into Ancient Egypt, Ancient Greece, Ancient Rome (and all the places in its vast empire), Celtic Ireland, the European Middle Ages, the Italian Renaissance, general Age-of-Sail type stuff, Regency and Victorian England, Feudal Japan, any period of pre-17th Century China and the Classic Period Maya. But seriously, if there’s something else you like or know about, go for it, even (or especially!) if it’s maybe not something one sees often as settings for tropey slash. If the setting is fixed in the prompt (‘Victorian Gentleman’ and such) you can also very much use fantasy or alternate history settings that just mimic the trappings of that specific period.

For science fiction, I basically love all types. I enjoy the sleek, 1950s inspired looks of gleaming white utopias (with or without adjacent seedy underbelly), cyberpunk ruled by evil megacorporations full of androids and hackers and augmentations, steampunk with air ships that sail the whole universe or the more grungy variation that is all about cranking the dirt and squalor of 19th century industrialisation up, hard-boiled military SF, sprawling space operas, or even comparatively mild “we invented space travel/aliens uplifted us and now we’re part of the interstellar alien community” stuff. You can also mix fantasy and science fiction with magic spaceships and kings that lead galactic federations and such. I also enjoy post-apocalyptic wastelands, but I’d prefer it if some first tendrils of society to have already emerged again, should you go past the end times.

And then, of course, there’s the good old everyday modern world. I have to admit I’m not super interested in mundane modern stuff and most of the pairings I chose probably don’t work too well with it. However, I enjoy urban fantasy with magic and werewolves and vampires, or “our world, but we met aliens/elves decades or centuries ago and now they work alongside you at the office” or something along those lines. Also, feel free to write ideas you will often find in everyday stories, like meet-cutes or other sweet/low-stakes plots like that, in crazy sci-fi or fantasy settings; I like that a lot, too!

Gladiators

Male Ancient Roman Gladiator/His Closest Male Rival
Who are these two gladiators? Did they sell themselves into service? Were they convicted and sent there or are they even captives from the wars? Did they come together to the ludus or did they only meet there and perhaps have very different origins? Are they resigned to their life (and likely death) in the arena or trying to get out? Does one of them have more experience? Are they fresh rivals or has this been going on for years?

Feel free to be as historically accurate as you’d like. If that’s your thing, great! If not, I’m here for everything, including ancient Rome with magic or in space, or pseudo-ancient Rome from a totally different world or timeline, or with changes such as “same-sex marriages are allowed”. This also doesn’t have to happen in Rome itself, it could take place all over the Ancient Roman empire.

One of them is cynical and jaded about the whole arena process, the other plays happily along with the arena spectacle, whether because he’s into it or because he’s sly. They figure they won’t get along and fight hard in the arena, but eventually realise they keep having a lot of interesting conversations and more.

One of them is actually from a smaller ludus and only joins up with the other’s ludus later and he’s a big fan of the other gladiator. Does the other gladiator take him seriously from the start? Does he brush him off at first? Or maybe figure he’s just going to have a little fun in bed with him and not pay him much attention? But then he realises the other gladiator is not only a good fighter to do a show with in the arena, but also someone he could like.

One of them really never planned to get close to an arena, but fate happened. The other one, an experienced gladiator, takes pity on him and teaches him not to die in his first fight. Turns out the newbie is also a good fighter and they make impressive rivals in the arena. Over time, a working relationship and more develops.

The gladiators don’t get along at all at first and become rivals (also in the arena to the joy of the audience and everyone who makes money from their fights). However, behind the scenes they eventually start to sleep together (maybe starting out as enemies-with-benefits, maybe already in love) and get closer.

Are they the same sort of fighter (for example they’re both provocatores) or a matching type of fighter (like retiarius and secutor)? How do their fights go in general?

I’m all here for celebrated fighters in the big Colosseum, but I would just as much like to read about gladiators in some half-forgotten province that barely has a standing arena or a couple of bustuarii or other lower class gladiators. Any setting where gladiators may have appeared would be fascinating.

It would be interesting to see a scene of the rivals facing off against each other! If they’re already lovers, that must be a very tense moment. Do they have a strategy? Or are they the kind of people who are incapable of talking about their feelings and so they can’t admit they want to protect each other and have to wing it?

If they’re in a smaller arena where gladiators don’t get killed as often because it’s not easy to replace good showmen, maybe the two of them already have a whole system figured out.

Maybe they are in a bigger arena, but they help each other put on a show that’s so good that the crowd votes for the defeated one to live.

They had a strategy, but one of them accidentally wounded the other pretty badly. The loser is voted to live, but it’s not clear if they will (though I hope they eventually recover!). The other one is anxiously watching him on his sickbed. This would also work with either of them being wounded in a fight with a different gladiator.

Alternatively, they don’t have a strategy because they are bad at talking and still pretend they don’t like each other, but one of them accidentally wounded the other pretty badly. The loser is voted to live, but it’s not clear if they will (though I hope they eventually recover!). The other one is anxiously watching him on his sickbed.

Maybe one of them manages to get freed from the arena and buys out the other one’s contract – or buys them entirely if they are there as a slave or as a convicted criminal, the latter of which probably means bribes need to change hands to free them. Would like it if they were at least already friends at this point with an understanding that the one who freed them doesn’t actually own them now.

Perhaps the two of them escape together, whether it’s during a full-scale gladiator uprising or just because they take an opportunity when they’re both outside the ludus together and run. I’d be happy to hear about their post-arena life as shepherds in Greece or something!

For Art: Anything of the above, of course, but generally I would just love to see them in their full armour. Gladiators were decked out for spectacle, so that must look amazing! However, a picture of them sparring together in very simple clothing, hanging out together for a drink or sneaking into each other’s beds would be just as great. Perhaps even something sweet you wouldn’t expect from two hardened warriors, like a hug or gentle kiss?

Human Space Gladiator/His Rival Alien Space Gladiator
Who are these two gladiators? Did they sell themselves into service? Were they convicted and sent there or are they even captives from a war? Maybe in space, you can hire on to be a gladiator in the same way you would hire on with a company to be a wrestler (but it’s still a very dangerous job, so I imagine there would be reasons you do it)? Did they come together to the ludus or did they only meet there and perhaps have very different origins? Are they resigned to their life (and likely death) in the arena or trying to get out? Does one of them have more experience? Are they fresh rivals or has this been going on for years?

However, behind the scenes they eventually start to sleep together (maybe starting out as enemies-with-benefits, maybe already in love) and get closer.

Having a human square up against an alien could lead to quite interesting fights, especially if the alien has non-human features (several arms, prehensile tentacles or tail, generally faster but weaker than humans or the other way around...). How do their fighting styles match up?

Do they perform in front of a mixed human and alien audience? Or is one of them the exotic outsider to a mostly human/mostly alien audience?

Is gladiatorial sport a big public thing where they perform, with televised matches and such? Or is it more of a “seedy mining world” type of deal and they’re basically taking part in underground fights?

Are they bound to or even enslaved to the ludus as gladiators of old might have been or do they have lives outside the arena complex?

It would be interesting to see a scene of the rivals facing off against each other! If they’re already lovers, that must be a very tense moment. Do they have a strategy? Or are they the kind of people who are incapable of talking about their feelings and so they can’t admit they want to protect each other and have to wing it?

Kings, Generals and Knights

Jaded Warrior King/The Charming Prince Who Is His Betrothed (M/M)
I like the implications of this tag a lot. Maybe a Jaded Warrior King might initially not feel like he has much in common with a Charming Prince, nor will he be ready to get wrapped around his little finger. However, the Charming Prince has his special ability in his name and I’m sure he has a few tricks up his sleeve to get the King to pay attention to him.

For the Jaded Warrior King, I would prefer someone over 30 years of age, who has had quite a few years to gather experience and generally collect reasons to grow jaded. I’d also like him not to be a totally needlessly expansionist Warrior King who solely wants to raze and conquer. Maybe in his culture being a warrior is just sort of the default, especially for nobles, or he’s had to defend his country in many and/or long wars. For the Charming Prince, someone 25 or older would be great. Does he come from the same or an equally warlike culture or is he maybe from a place where courtly manners are prized higher?

For smut, I would prefer the Jaded Warrior King to bottom. If you do A/B/O, I’d like omega Jaded Warrior King and alpha or beta Charming Prince. If you include mpreg, I would prefer pregnant Jaded Warrior King.

How did this betrothal come about? Maybe the King is trying to make peace with a contentious other kingdom, or making an alliance to help him in another conflict? Or perhaps this betrothal was sort of forced on him by his advisors because he’s old enough that they think he needs to get married and have children. (Whether this is by mpreg, or whether it is considered common in their culture to have a second parent in the house before you start adopting heirs.) Or hell, maybe the Prince’s parents have the King at knifepoint and are basically forcing the Prince on him in return for not starting trouble because they really want the connection.

In what way is the King jaded? He’s a warrior, so he probably has seen a lot of battle and that may have left him with PTSD and/or a dim view on humanity. Has he maybe already lost a husband in battle or otherwise? Or he was married before, but it was an abusive/otherwise unhappy relationship (the King being nonconned would be fine to include here if you want to, but could also be that his husband was otherwise violent, cheated on him a lot, etc.)? Maybe his own friends or family members tried to betray him, or his siblings tried to kill each other in a bloody war for the throne that shook his trust in people he loves to the core, and he was left to pick up the pieces of a country ravaged by civil war? There are many possibilities!

What about the Prince? Does being charming come naturally to him and he’s just a very bright, likable person? Or is he a shrewd courtier? Or maybe a bit of both? Maybe he’s way down the line for inheritance and very soberly figured he would have to be as agreeable as he can be to get a good marriage? And is he excited for this marriage, or does the King maybe have a reputation for being unapproachable that makes the Prince hesitant?

How does it go once the Prince is at his court? How does he work his way through the King’s armour? Does he manage to crack him with his charm, or is it perhaps something totally different that first starts to interest the King about him? And what good traits does the Prince start seeing in the King, despite his hard shell?

The King and his Prince husband fighting together, or, if the Prince is not a fighter, the King protecting him from an assassin or something (and maybe getting hurt in the process) would be awesome. Generally, the King impressing the Prince with his fighting skills sounds great.

I would love smut between them. Maybe the King isn’t quite used to having an attentive lover anymore and the Prince makes good use of that advantage. And maybe once the King has melted a bit, he really starts to get into their time together, too?

Or maybe they have trouble connecting anywhere at the start... except in bed. What does that look like? And how does it go from there?

The King being a bit of a workaholic and the Prince reminding him of the pleasures of life in general would be sweet.

If the Prince was of the ‘superfluous 7th son’ sort, I’d love to see him getting to develop his talents at the King’s court, since maybe back at home they weren’t really properly appreciated. Maybe the King, being less touched by his charm, actually notices his other skills quicker than other people do, too? (Maybe it’s even something the Prince had already given up on, since he pegs himself as just being the charming one, but that the King recognises he’d be very good at.)

The Prince helps the King out in a political situation and the King shows him his gratitude (in a romantic or smutty way).

The Prince earning the King’s trust somehow – protecting him from an attack with his life, revealing a traitor in the King’s ranks, etc.

Maybe the King really comes to enjoy the Prince’s charm, too, even though he’s not sure what the Prince sees in him, since he’s not all that charming himself. The Prince is quite honestly enamoured with the King’s good qualities, though.

For Art: Any of the above prompts would be great. I’d definitely also enjoy a picture of the Prince and the King together in their full outfits. Do they have different styles of clothing in their respective home kingdoms? Maybe the King wears mostly armour and the Prince is in fine silks? I’d also love a picture of them relaxing after a long day, just having supper or maybe even cuddling. Maybe the Prince helps dress a wound that the King says is not serious enough for the healers? I’d also love to see a kiss or hug between them – maybe the Prince surprises the King with it? (Hugs from behind are also Good Content.) And, of course, the two of them being a battle couple or just on the battlefield together in armour would be awesome, too. If you like style experiments, something like a portrait of the two or a tapestry or the sort of drawings you’d find in a medieval book would also be awesome (or other traditional mediums/art styles if choose to go outside of the European setting, of course).

Overworked General/Charming Courtier Who Is Good In Bed (M/M)
This prompt just has so many fun implications. Who are the General and the Courtier? The General is obviously of quite a high rank, but is he also of high birth? Is the someone who always tends towards working too hard or is he just buckling down because there is no other way at the moment? And what about the Courtier? Is he an important man by birth and/or rank, or is it his charm (and… other skills) which stands out most about him? Are these two even from the same court? Has the Courtier had his sights set on the General for a while and if yes, is it because he’s in love or because the General seems like a fun challenge? Or is their contact more spontaneous? I would love if there was some implication that maybe they’ll spend more than just one enjoyable night together and perhaps even have some feelings for each other.

For smut, I would prefer the General to bottom. If you do A/B/O, I’d like omega General and alpha or beta Charming Courtier. If you include mpreg, I would prefer pregnant General.

The Courtier and the General are at the same court, but they’ve never had terribly much to do with each other. However, maybe they keep running into each other late in the evening when the Courtier comes back from some social events and the General from work, or through some other circumstance. They start getting along.

The Courtier is encouraged as a joke by some soldier friends or nobles who have to deal with the General on a council to try to get the General to slow down a bit before he has a heart attack. It starts out as friendly teasing, but the Courtier actually thinks the General is pretty hot and not the worst person, either.

Alternatively, the Courtier had a bet with some friends at court that he could bed the General, but ends up falling in love. And what happens when the General finds out?

The General and the Courtier have a sort of acquaintance-with-benefits thing going on. However, eventually they fall in love and mutual pining happens. Does the Courtier wonder if he’s only appreciated for his intimate talents? Does the General think the Courtier has many playthings?

The General has the right lineage and/or amount of clout for an ambitious but lowborn Courtier who wants to marry up and maybe not bother much with his husband – and since the General is always working, that would suit the Courtier well. The Courtier figures he’ll just catch him with his charming temperament and convince him in bed, but ends up actually falling for the General in the process.

As a reward for his achievements the lowborn General is offered the highborn Courtier as a husband. Was the Courtier convinced to do this or did he offer? Do they know each other or only know of each other?

Perhaps the Courtier was only seducing the General for fun at first, just to see if he could (because maybe no one else at court has managed yet), and because having a probably very fit soldier in his bed certainly doesn’t hurt, but then he falls in love. How does he convince the General he wants more?

The General and the Courtier meet at some festivity and the courtier charms the General into his bed. Afterwards, the General is quite smitten and quite embarrassed about it, feeling it’s unlikely the Courtier has special regard for him. That certainly doesn’t make his feelings go away, though. Does the General try to court the Courtier?

The Courtier is somehow thrown into a battlefield or a kidnapping or some other dangerous situation. General to the rescue!

The General has to contend with some intrigue at court on top of all his work. The Courtier, who is much better at these things, helps him out.

The General is gravely wounded during his duties (or even protecting the Courtier and/or other people at court). To his surprise, the Courtier is very worried about him.

For Art: Any of the above would be great. The Courtier flirting with a somewhat flustered or doubtful General would be a fun image. The General sitting dishevelled in bed with a self-satisfied Courtier would also be great. Obviously, if you like drawing that sort of thing, explicit art would also be very fitting for this prompt! I also really like period clothing and armour, so the two of them in their full attire would be great. If you like style experiments, something like a portrait of the two or a tapestry or the sort of drawings you’d find in a medieval book would also be awesome (or other traditional mediums/art styles if choose to go outside of the European setting, of course).

Older Decorated Knight/Younger Knight He Trained Who Is Now A Hero Too (M/M)
I really like the dynamic of this tag, where one person used to be the mentee, but is now just as, or almost as, or even more capable than their mentor. Did they meet in a formal setting (the Older Knight was the Younger Knight’s general or commander) or was it something that happened outside (they’re at the same court and the Older Knight took the Younger Knight under his wing because he saw potential)? I have a thing for top former mentee/bottom mentor, so if that made it into the story somehow if you write smut, I’d be delighted. If you include mpreg, I prefer pregnant Older Knight. If you do A/B/O, I’d prefer omega Older Knight and alpha or beta Younger Knight. I would appreciate it if the Younger Knight had been at least 20 years old when he first became the Older Knight’s mentee (so an older squire, or perhaps he wasn’t his squire, but he was still rather green or new to being a knight when they first met), but he can also have been a lot older as long as they still have an age gap.

Since the Younger Knight stopped being a mentee and became a heroic knight himself, perhaps they lost sight of each other for a while and only meet again years later? Maybe the Younger Knight already had a crush on Older Knight back in the day, but the Older Knight found him a bit too green or didn’t even notice. Now the Younger Knight returns and has really grown into a competent and experienced warrior and the Older Knight finds himself accidentally smitten.

The Older Knight and the Younger Knight have worked together since the Younger Knight was his mentee and have become fast friends over the years. There may now also be a new emotion threading into their relationship, though (or the Younger Knight always had a bit of a crush, but now the Older Knight is starting to return it).

The two of them jousting against each other, racing on horses, sparring with wooden swords. Maybe there’s a wager about what the winner can ask of the loser?

One of them participates in a tourney and asks for the other one’s favour or gives them the winner’s prize as a means of courtship afterwards. (More likely the Younger Knight is doing it, since he might still like showing off more, but perhaps the Older Knight has always liked doing tourneys?). Of course, perhaps they also both participate in the tourney and basically fight for the right to crown the other and/or wearing each other’s favours.

Maybe the Older Knight is captured by someone and tortured/threatened with death. While he’s holding out for now, he’s pretty sure he’s not getting out of that one. Then the Younger Knight comes in and saves him. The Older Knight is worried the Younger Knight is disappointed in him, but the Younger Knight is just happy to have him back alive.

The prompt above, but with the roles reversed! Maybe the Younger Knight also figured the Older Knight would be angry at him for still making stupid rookie mistakes after all this time, but the Older Knight is just glad to have him back.

The two of them riding into battle together or even taking on a thorny diplomatic challenge of some sort would be great. Do the heightened emotions bring out their feelings?

If this is a more fantastical situation where knights go off on quests all the time, I would love for them to go on a quest together and do heroic deeds (and get closer in the process).

How would two well-known, respected knights court each other (or how does one court the other)?

A stressful situation in a battle where one of them goes down and the other races in to save the other, or one of them (perhaps the Older Knight, thinking he’s had a longer life and it makes sense?) goes on a suicide run to save the battle, but afterwards is unexpectedly saved by the Younger Knight at the last second through a skilful manoeuvre?

For Art: All of the above prompts would be great. As with all Original Work, I’m just very interested to see your interpretation of these characters in a shippy situation. I would love to see them in armour, of course, but in any case I would also like to see their general style when at court. The two of them in with their horses or a castle in the background or on the tourney grounds would also be cool, as would be a picture where they’re kissing/making out/sleeping together. For something that’s admittedly very elaborate, a picture that shows the two of them as they used to look when they first met versus the present time would also be really awesome.

New King/His Arranged Marriage Husbands
I really like this tag because it implies so many interesting plot possibilities. Is this a story about a New King who has been on around the court for a while (but not as king) and the established relationship with his husbands, or maybe someone who decided to marry later in life and now has to deal with that? Or is the New King new to both his job and his marriages? If it’s the latter, did his royal parent or older sibling die, or is he actually someone who is pretty low in the chain of inheritance and never expected to get the throne at all, but something wiped out everyone ahead of him? Or was he voted into the position, or gained it during a revolution or other upheaval? For the Arranged Marriage Husbands, I’d be interested whatever you come up with! Why were those marriages arranged, and by whom? Are they just there as spouses or do they have positions at court? Have they, or some of them, known each other before? Are they also in a relationship, or in separate relationships, or are some of them rivals? (This is all in case you actually want to write anything plot-related – I’m also very happy about a fic that is just smut.) Generally, I’m more interested in a story about a poly marriage that ends up being loving (though the way there can certainly be rocky and chaotic!), whether the Husbands are also sleeping with each other/in romantic relationships or just friendly; rather than a story about an asshole king who forces people into his harem, or husbands who are unhappy with their lot in life even by the end of the story. I’d also love to get to know the characters, so I’d somewhat prefer several husbands with distinct personalities to a faceless, bigger group of husbands (unless, again, you’re going for PWP porn, which I would be totally fine with, then all is fair game). For smut, I prefer bottom and sub New King. If you include mpreg, I prefer pregnant New King. For A/B/O, I prefer omega New King and alpha and/or beta Arranged Marriage husbands.

I’d want all of the people involved in this marriage to be over eighteen and not related to each other (and not having raised each other even if they’re not blood-related, though people of the same age growing up together is totally fine, as long as they didn’t see each other as siblings), but that’s pretty much it!

If this is a New King who has been married to his Husbands for a while, before he became king, I’d love to see their day-to-day life – whether the husbands are a factor at court, or whether they mostly get to be trophy spouses. No matter if they are solving a political crises, engaging in court drama, or winning a war, all would be great; however, something domestic, romantic, or smutty would be just as nice. Or maybe the Husbands prepare some sort of surprise for their overworked New King?

Considering these were arranged marriages, I would also love to see a story about the New King and his Husbands starting to get along with each other, falling for each other, navigating their relationship, and so on.

Perhaps a new Husband has to be integrated because the King made a treaty with someone. This new person finding their place in the group dynamic would be great to see.

Maybe the New King was only a duke or something, happily living with his several Husbands from arranged marriages, which might be unorthodox (maybe it’s a cultural thing that’s only regional to the corner of the kingdom where he comes from or something), but since he wasn’t much of a presence at court, no one really cared that much. Suddenly, his family gets decimated and him and his Husbands are in the spotlight as he becomes the New King.

I do love the trope of people having to win ritual combat against their potential spouse. How does this work in the context of a group marriage? Are they allowed to band together? Or maybe no one ever banded together before because everyone wanted the New King (and the position of king’s consort) for themselves, but the New King is a very accomplished fighter who beat everyone. However, these potential Husbands realise the rules don’t specify they can’t band together, and the New King decides to honour their clever strategy by marrying all of them.

If they banded together from the start for ritual combat against the New King, maybe the Husbands are even already in a poly relationship. However, it would also be interesting to see a group of ambitious Husbands do this for political reasons and then start to like each other and the New King.

Maybe for ritual combat against the New King, they also have to beat him one by one. Perhaps the New King opens up a spot for a new addition and his already existing Husbands watch the people trying out with great interest? Or they are all picked at the same time and those who end up being his husbands all beat him with different strategies (maybe one wins by just having overwhelming strength, one tricks him, one hexes him...).

Ritual bride stealing is also very cute. If the New King would be the “bride”, does he just let the Husbands steal him because it’s just a ritual, anyway, or does he try to escape them? How quickly can the Husbands capture him? Maybe the New King is a bit of a trickster or has pride in his skills as a warrior, so it ends up being more of a struggle than the Husbands figured? And what if the New King has to capture all his “brides”? Depending on how many they are, that could be a pretty exhausting task. Does he manage it? Do the Husbands help or hinder him?

Generally, I would also love to see courtship. Obviously, a courtship that includes at least three and possibly more people is always going to be a bit unconventional. Do the Husbands court the New King together or do they make a bit of a competition out of it? Maybe the New King runs himself ragged trying to show every Husband the same amount of attention? And what about the prospective Husbands among each other? Perhaps it’s not unusual for a King to have several spouses, but the fact that he also allows them to court each other is very unconventional.

Something focusing on the arranged marriage aspect is great trope for this, too, of course. Maybe the New King is unsure whether the Husbands that he has been allotted for various political reasons actually want to be in this marriage and he wonders if they’re going to take this out on him in various ways, including in the bedroom. However, it turns out his Husbands are actually quite nice. On the other hand, perhaps the Husbands were the ones expecting this to end badly because the New King has a reputation as a jaded warrior or stern high priest or dangerous wizard, but it turns out he’s actually a lot less terrifying than advertised.

Perhaps two or more Husbands were already in a relationship before entering an arranged marriage with the New King, or start dating during the marriage. They planned to keep it a secret, but the New King finds out. To their surprise, this doesn’t really bother the New King at all. (Due to the set-up of arranged marriages, and the New King never making any rules, anyway, I would not consider this hitting the cheating DNW.)

If group marriages are common, there might even be different kinds of alliances the Husbands are for – one is connected to a neighbouring country, one to a powerful vassal, one is the scion of a rich merchant’s guild, or similar stuff. This would mean they all have different backgrounds to each other, too. It would be interesting to see them all dealing with each other and the New King.

A royal alliance between several countries/cultural groups that is sealed by the New King marrying a Husband from each of them would also be interesting.

Since the New King is new, maybe he inherited a conflict from the person who had the throne before? It might have been a long, bloody fight and the New King seeks peace for his people. If this means he has to have several Husbands to make several sides happy, well, he’ll do it.

Perhaps the New King is also backed into a corner and forced to accept the terms the other side has (they may have even killed his predecessor(s)). If they want him to marry like four or five of their men, well, group marriages may not be a thing in his culture, but what can the New King do but agree to protect his country? However, the actual marriage ends up not being as bad as he feared.

If the marriage is arranged for political reasons, it would not be uncommon if they only met on the wedding day. I’d love to see the New King and his Husbands feel out each other on their wedding day. Do they get along from the start? Do they need time to warm up to each other? How do they deal with the festivities and rituals and what does it teach them about each other?

Mutual pining within an arranged marriage is also a delicious flavour. The New King thinks the Husbands only agreed to this marriage for political reasons and must be unhappy with this, so he doesn’t want to push them into anything that could be considered marital duties (except maybe he’s forced to ask when it comes to procreation (if this has mpreg) since he needs an heir; or because marriages have to be sealed with sex to be considered valid in that culture – sex while mutually pining is also great!). The Husbands think the New King is uncomfortable with this arrangement and don’t want to force him into anything. How do they figure out they all want the same thing?

Some pining between the Husbands would also be interesting. Maybe the New King ends up brokering relationships between them, since he feels bad they all have to share him, and would rather see them happy, since he is actually crushing on them. However, it turns out the Husbands don’t just like each other, but the New King, too.

Pining or not, considering this is likely a political marriage, no one expects them to be in love, and they were mostly hoping for just an amicable relationship with their spouses. However, as they are married, they end up slowly falling for each other.

I would love to see them sleep together on the wedding night. Is it a lot of limbs all over the place and a bit awkward? Is it surprisingly good? How do the Husbands deal with each other and with the New King?

Every Husband has to be with the New King at least once during the wedding night according to tradition, so depending on how many there are, the New King might be pretty exhausted afterwards. Both the process and the Husbands perhaps cuddling him afterwards would be fun.

All the Husbands “ganging up” on the New King would be great. Does the New King ask for it, or is it something that just develops naturally out of the moment? Do the Husbands who are waiting their turn keep each other company?

A wedding night introducing a new Husband into the fold could also be really cool!

Is the New King still a virgin? If yes, now he gets to have his first time with several people at once. Do the Husbands try to make it a little bit less overwhelming?

However, maybe the King has experience, but one of the Husbands happens to be a virgin. The New King and the other Husbands teaching him what to do would be interesting.

Generally, I’m always open to all kinds of smut, of course, whether it’s part of a longer story or PWP!

If there is mpreg, the marriage could be part of a bloodline-based inheritance system. I’d love to see them trying for a child (with a focus on romance or breeding kink, depending where you want to take this), the Husbands caring about their pregnant New King, or see how their family raises their child(ren).

For Art: Any of the above would be great, of course. This prompt potentially involves quite a number of people (three at minimum), so I’d really love any picture of the New King with all his Husbands, maybe dressed up for a function, or relaxing in the New King’s quarters, taking a stroll through the city or a ride into the countryside. Of course, I’m always here for shippy pictures, like kisses, cuddling, and hugging. The New King in the middle of a cuddle pile (or in the middle of his Husbands in a... less innocent situation) would be great, too.

Aliens and Humans in Space

Jaded Alien Space General/The Charming Prince Who Is His Betrothed
I like the implications of this tag a lot. Maybe a Jaded General might initially not feel like he has much in common with a Charming Prince, nor will he be ready to get wrapped around his little finger. However, the Charming Prince has his special ability in his name and I’m sure he has a few tricks up his sleeve to get the General to pay attention to him.

For the Jaded General, I would prefer someone over 30 years of age, who has had quite a few years to gather experience and generally collect reasons to grow jaded. I’d also like him not to be a totally needlessly brutal General who solely wants to raze and conquer, though of course making war is part of his job. How did he end up in his position? Is being a fighter just sort of the default, especially for nobles, like it was with knights back in the day? Did he work his way up from obscurity because he’s just that good? Or maybe he’s had to defend his country in many and/or long wars not so much because he wanted to, but because he needed to. For the Charming Prince, someone 25 or older would be great. What sort of man is? Are they from the same culture, the same country? The prompt doesn’t specify whether he’s an alien (the same species as the Jaded General or another) or a human, so either would be interesting!

For smut, I would prefer the Jaded Warrior General to bottom. If you do A/B/O, I’d like omega Jaded Warrior General and alpha or beta Charming Prince. If you include mpreg, I would prefer pregnant Jaded General.

How did this betrothal come about? Maybe the ruler the Jaded General serves is trying to make peace with a contentious other kingdom, or making an alliance to help him in a conflict? Did the General agree for his nation’s sake, or was this betrothal foisted upon him? Or hell, maybe the Jaded General’s former ruler is dead and the Prince’s parents have the Jaded General at gunpoint because they know they can only install their son as a new ruler if he marries someone with great public support (like a decorated general...). Because of that, they are basically forcing the Prince on the General in return for not starting another war.

On the other hand, perhaps the Jaded General’s ruler arranged a marriage with a younger prince of some other nation as a reward, or the Charming Prince is the son of a king who is the ruler’s retainer (if he’s emperor level). The Jaded General never asked for such a reward, but he knows he can’t refuse without causing a diplomatic incident, so he accepts.

Maybe the Charming Prince is actually the son of the Jaded General’s ruler, so it’s not like the Jaded General could even think about refusing him. Does this make the Jaded General the next king consort? Or is the Prince way down the line of succession?

The Jaded General has been pushed to pick a partner for years, since he is a desirable match. He finally relents to the offer of the Charming Prince (or his family) because he seems like a decent enough person, not thinking he’ll like him much, anyway, and aware the Charming Prince only wants him for the connection. However, things go better than he expected.

Class difference could be interesting here! A general could have worked his way up the ladder. Does the Charming Prince think the marriage to someone of such low birth is a punishment at first, but comes to respect the Jaded General? (Is the marriage a punishment because he’s a playboy/a bon vivant, maybe a younger son with lots of money and few responsibilities, and his parents want him to learn from his Jaded General husband?) Something more light-hearted, like differences in manner or courtship rituals resulting from the class difference, would also be fun.

Maybe the Jaded General is one of the few aliens in that corner of space. In that case, would a human Charming Prince have some reservations about marrying him? Maybe prejudices exist? The two of them exploring each other’s cultures would be interesting.

In what way is the General jaded? He’s a general, so he probably has seen a lot of battle and that may have left him with PTSD and/or a dim view on humanity (and other humanoid species). Has he maybe already lost a husband or lover in battle or otherwise, or saw the death of his best friend/good friends and companions? Did he suffer from torture in captivity? (The Jaded General being nonconned by enemies would be fine to include here if you want to, but it could also be other types of violence.) Maybe he was betrayed by another military leader he considered his friend who switched sides to support the enemy, forcing the Jaded General to fight a bloody battle against some of his own men? There are many possibilities!

What about the Prince? Does being charming come naturally to him and he’s just a very bright, likable person? Or is he a shrewd courtier? Or maybe a bit of both? Maybe he’s way down the line of inheritance and very soberly figured he would have to be as agreeable as he can be to get a good marriage? And is he excited for this marriage, or does the Jaded General have a reputation for being unapproachable that makes the Prince hesitant?

How does it go once the Prince is with the General? How does he work his way through the Jaded General’s armour (figuratively or literally)? Does he manage to crack him with his charm, or is it perhaps something totally different that first starts to interest the Jaded General about him? And what good traits does the Prince start seeing in the Jaded General, despite his hard shell?

The Jaded General and his Prince husband fighting together, or, if the Prince is not a fighter, the Jaded General protecting him from an assassin or something (and maybe getting hurt in the process) would be awesome. Generally, the Jaded General impressing the Prince with his fighting skills sounds great.

I would love smut between them. Maybe the Jaded General isn’t quite used to having an attentive lover anymore and the Prince makes good use of that advantage. And maybe once the Jaded General has melted a bit, he really starts to get into their time together, too?

Or maybe they have trouble connecting anywhere at the start... except in bed. What does that look like? And how does it go from there?

The Jaded General being a bit of a workaholic and the Prince reminding him of the pleasures of life in general would be sweet.

If the Prince was of the ‘superfluous 7th son’ sort, I’d love to see him getting to develop his talents at the Jaded General’s side, whether at court or maybe as a skilled administrator or diplomat in a war camp, since perhaps back at home he wasn’t really properly appreciated. Maybe the Jaded General, being less touched by his charm, actually notices his other skills quicker than other people do, too? (Maybe it’s even something the Prince had already given up on, since he pegs himself as just being the charming one, but that the Jaded General recognises he’d be very good at.)

The Prince helps the Jaded General out in a thorny diplomatic situation and the Jaded General shows him his gratitude (in a romantic or smutty way).

The Prince earning the Jaded General’s trust somehow – protecting him from an attack with his life, revealing a traitor in the Jaded General’s ranks, etc.

The Jaded General is badly wounded and to his surprise, the Charming Prince will not move from his bedside and seems honestly concerned.

Maybe the Jaded General really comes to enjoy the Prince’s charm, too, even though he’s not sure what the Prince sees in him, since he’s not all that charming himself. The Prince is quite honestly enamoured with the Jaded General’s good qualities, though.

For Art: Any of the above prompts would be great. I’d definitely also enjoy a picture of the Prince and the General together in their full outfits. Do they have different styles of clothing if they’re from different cultures or the Charming Prince is a human? Maybe the Jaded General wears mostly armour/uniform and the Prince is in fine silks? I’d also love a picture of them relaxing after a long day, just having supper or maybe even cuddling. Maybe the Prince helps dress a wound that the Jaded General says is not serious enough for the medics? I’d also love to see a kiss or hug between them – maybe the Prince surprises the Jaded general with it? (Hugs from behind are also Good Content.) And, of course, the two of them being a battle couple or just on the battlefield together in armour/uniform would be awesome, too.

Human Man Who Just Moved Off Earth/His New Male Alien Neighbour With Tentacles
The alien being specified to have tentacles definitely seems to indicate that smut might be afoot with this prompt and I’d very much be here for the Human getting up close and personal with his new Alien Neighbour. However, I would also love to read a story about the two of them getting to know each other and the tentacles just being one of the elements the Human finds fascinating about the Alien Neighbour. Also, what draws the Alien Neighbour to the Human? Does he instantly find him interesting or is it something that grows over time as he gets to know his neighbour? And where do the two of them live, anyway, what kind of place is it?

The Human has never met the species of alien that his Alien Neighbour is before and is instantly attracted to him. The Alien Neighbour notices and decides he’s definitely up for a bit of fun. However, since they’re neighbours and the sex was good, the temptation to do it again is easy to give in to and suddenly they’re also hanging out together.

The Human has actually lived in a pretty small town on Earth and has never been off Earth nor has met any aliens before. What made him move away? Does the Alien Neighbour take pity on this total newbie to intergalactic society and help him around the place? Do they get closer like that?

Maybe the Human is someone a bit older and jaded who left Earth because he wanted to start a new life somewhere. He might not have had any ambitions to make friends, but you can’t really help running into your neighbours every once in a while, so things go from there.

Has the Alien Neighbour also recently moved to this place and is still getting his bearings? What reasons did he have to leave where he was? Do the reasons help him relate to the Human?

Maybe the Alien Neighbour has been there for a long while. Why did he come and why did he stick around? Does he help the Human to find his footing and tells him of all the best places to be?

Or maybe this is the homeworld of this alien species. In that case, is the Human perhaps there as a researcher or because he took a job that needed his highly specific skills? That might make him quite interesting to the Alien Neighbour, especially if not too many outsiders live on his homeworld.

They keep running into each other because they both live in a sort of chaotic house with a lot of eccentric tenants and they always end up being the one helping their neighbours, breaking up fights, keeping people from throwing each other’s things (or each other) out of the windows, catching escaped pets and toddlers, and repairing broken banisters and stuff. The Alien Neighbour is quite happy to have someone else around who is helpful and they get along quickly.

Staple trope, but the two of them accidentally adopt a stray cat or some stray alien pet together, since it keeps coming to both of them to get fed, and now they have reasons to talk.

For smut, of course I would love an Alien Neighbour who uses his tentacles hentai-style and a Human who is very into that (or perhaps was a bit apprehensive at first, but then quickly learns of the advantages). However, I could also see an Alien Neighbour whose tentacles function more as extra limbs so he can hold the Human down for sex without even using his hands (if he has additional ones, at least) if they’re both into D/s stuff.

On the other hand, if you would like the Human to be more in control during smut, a lot of tentacles make for a lot of places to grab the Alien Neighbour and restrict him (sort of like advanced hair-pulling). Or alternatively, if they’re more the fluffy kind, the Alien Neighbour can give the best multi-limbed hugs.

For Art: Any of the above prompts would be great. I would also love to see the Alien Neighbour and the Human together, maybe with the alien’s tentacles already snaking around the Human a bit. Since this is a potentially smut-oriented prompt, of course I would also love to see explicit art where the tentacles are put to good use. The two of them chilling in one of their apartments, exploring the place where they live together, or going on a date where the Alien Neighbour shows the Human some cool stuff or a nice bar in his new home would also be awesome. Also, I would love a hug or a kiss where the tentacles are gently encroaching/wrapping around the Human.

Male Human Galactic Emperor/Male Alien Galactic Emperor He Marries To End War
It seems like the Human Emperor and the Alien Emperor were fighting this war, but did they start it or is it a drawn-out conflict they inherited from their parents/whoever ruled before them? Has it maybe been going on for several generations? And if they did start it, what made them decide to stop it? Is it a feature in both their cultures to make peace through marriage alliances or is one of them not used to that sort of thing, but is at this point willing to try anything?

If they are both emperors, then I assume their realms will merge now, or at least become closely allied so that a potential heir would eventually rule over both. That sounds like a lot of paperwork after the initial decision, to be honest. Perhaps these drawn-out discussions are when they get to know each other from a different side?

The Human Emperor and the Alien Emperor have clashed on the battlefield in person many times, perhaps have even given each other scars or lasting injuries. How do they work on their relationship becoming more amiable? Or did they think they would just be strictly political spouses, but despite everything, they start to like each other?

As above, but their frequent clashes have already given them a fascination and grudging respect for the other that they’re interested in pursuing further.

The war was started by their parents (or other predecessors), but before that, the relationship between the empires was good. The Human Emperor and the Alien Emperor perhaps even knew each other as children or grew up in the same court and were childhood friends, or even had an early teenage puppy crush on each other, but then the war tore them apart. What is it like to be reunited after all these years?

Perhaps there are people in one or both empires who want to keep the war going for one reason or another. An assassination attempt on one of the Emperors would be an interesting way to force them to work together, especially if they can’t be sure if their partner wasn’t also involved in the machinations that caused it (though I’d prefer it if they weren’t). Or maybe one saves the other from the assassination and that’s how they first establish trust?

Maybe they needed to end the war quickly because a third, more powerful foe has appeared. The two of them taking that enemy on together (whether on the battlefield or with diplomacy) would be great to see.

I love couples with matching and couples with complementary skills! Maybe they’re both great warriors or skilled diplomats, or one is the former and the other the latter? Perhaps one is very good with numbers and economic matters and the other has better people skills and they realise this makes them very effective at ruling together? Maybe they’re both accomplished space ship pilots and bond over it? Anything like that would be fun.

How different are their cultures? How much do they know about their respective cultures? That learning experience and the two of them navigating their different expectations would be great, whether it’s about small or big matters.

With marriages like this, I also always love it when the people start out thinking it’s one hundred per cent a political matter and act accordingly, then fall in love and mutually pine because they are convinced the other doesn’t love them. How do they figure it out?

Maybe they do decide to consummate the marriage for some cultural reason and it turns out to be a mind-blowing night that throws a wrench in their plans of a lukewarm political marriage because it opens the door to another path.

Smut is always appreciated, of course. How different is the alien’s anatomy? Have they slept with a human/alien before or do they need to learn about their partner? Do they have loads of UST that discharges suddenly in spectacular sex, or do they work up slowly to a physically intimate relationship?

For Art: Any of the above prompts would be great. I’m very interested to see what the alien’s design would be and, of course, what the human looks like in general. I’d love to see them together in fancy clothes, either for their wedding or a “normal” day at court. What does formal wear mean for the alien and the human in this universe? A picture of the two of them fighting or strategizing together would be very much appreciated, too. Of course, I would also very much enjoy seeing the two of them sharing a clandestine touch at the council, maybe one leaning over the other’s chair as they are working, looking at each other’s scars (perhaps even the ones they themselves caused), or sparring together. If there are ways the alien shows affection that aren’t the usual for humans, I would also love to see it (wrapping their potential tail around the human’s arm, for example, or something of that sort).

A/B/O

Tall Strong Male Omega/Short Weaker Male Alpha
A trope I love no matter the setting or character constellation. Feel free to superimpose this trope onto any of the other pairings that I requested if you want more prompts on who these people could be, but I’m also here for your own ideas. I would also love it if they had different roles/jobs that fit with their size; for example, the Omega is a Warrior/Soldier/Mercenary and the Alpha is someone who does paperwork, requisitions, or is more concerned with diplomacy? I have a few other ideas below, but up here is the general gist of what I’d love to read, and if you have your own ideas (superheroes, wrestlers, football players, etc.), please go for it. If you want to, you can also (for example) make the Omega part of an already bigger alien species and the Alpha a regular human, or the Omega a half-orc and the Alpha a hobbit or other such ideas that would further enhance their difference. For smut, I prefer bottom Omega.

The Omega is a security guard and the Alpha is a librarian. The Omega keeps carrying book stacks for the Alpha in hopes that he will notice him, the Alpha figures the Omega thinks he’s too weak to deal with them.

The Omega is a mercenary and the Alpha is the person who keeps hiring him. Maybe the bodyguard jobs are sometimes a bit unnecessary, but the Alpha just likes having him around... (but an instance where they become very necessary and the Omega heroically defends the Alpha would also be appreciated, of course.)

The Omega comes from a fearful-looking, tall alien species that has only just made first contact with humans. He’s tasked to trail the human Alpha, a somewhat frightened researcher who was allowed to live with the aliens. How do they start to get along?

The Omega is a Knight and the Alpha is a nobleman/king. The Alpha is good at ruling but not that great with a sword. He has Omega for that and though other people do sometimes mock him because his retinue is headed by an Omega, they usually don’t laugh anymore when they had to face the Omega in a fight or tourney for the first time.

The Alpha is a distinguished university professor in a Victorian or Steampunk setting, the Omega is a working class man who he keeps running into at the shop/who helps around the university/who repairs the Alpha’s old mansion. They are endlessly attracted to each other, but the Omega doesn’t want the Alpha to think he just wants rank and money from being with him, and the Alpha doesn’t want the Omega to think that he wants to wield his rank and money to get him. Can they figure it out?

The Omega and the Alpha are arranged to marry and each are worried that the other one won’t think they are attractive. Do they figure out on the wedding night that they are really into each other or does it take some more mutual pining to get there?

In case you opt for writing a society where omegas are oppressed and/or supposed to fit into very narrow stereotypes, does the Omega try to play into it (with what level of success?) and subvert the rules from inside, or does he end up on the fringes of society where flaunting the rules is easier, perhaps with a job to match (mercenary, underground boxing ring participant, etc.)? In that case, how does he come across the Alpha? (Threats of sexual violence against the Omega would be fine to include here, although please not from the Alpha in this pairing.)

Generally, a trope I’d enjoy here are the Omega and Alpha needlessly mutually pining because they think for some reason that the other one would prefer a more stereotypical omega/alpha, and eventually figure out there was no reason for it.

However, it would also be fun to see an Omega and an Alpha who go a bit against stereotype, but where one or both of them are totally confident regardless and mercilessly flirt with the other, who is very up for it.

For smut, I enjoy the A/B/O staples of heat sex and rut sex. The Omega riding and (lovingly) manhandling the Alpha would be fun, but I’d also enjoy the Alpha managing to handle the Omega despite his lesser physical strength and wrapping him around his finger.

For Art: Any of the above would be great. Considering it’s so baked into the tag, I would of course love a picture that emphasizes their size difference. The details of the picture are otherwise kind of dependant on what kind of setting you go with, so feel free to go wild with anything from subtle gestures of affection to explicit smut. If you want something that plays with the A/B/O idea, a picture of the two of them in the nest that the Omega built would be fun, or a picture of him just absolutely dwarfing his Alpha as he climbs all over him during the heat.

New Omega King/His Alpha Husbands
I really like this tag because it implies so many interesting plot possibilities. Is this a story about a New Omega King who has been on around the court for a while (but not as king) and the established relationship with his husbands, or maybe someone who decided to marry later in life and now has to deal with that? Or is the Omega King new to both his job and his marriages? If it’s the latter, did his royal parent or older sibling die, or is he actually someone who is pretty low in the chain of inheritance and never expected to get the throne at all, but something wiped out everyone ahead of him? Or was he voted into the position, or gained it during a revolution or other upheaval? I especially like omegas who are a bit unusual (tall and/or physically strong), but there’s many ways to go with this. For the alphas, I’d be interested in whatever you come up with! Are they just there as spouses or do they have positions at court? Have they, or some of them, known each other before? Are they also in a relationship, or in separate relationships, or are some of them rivals? (This is all in case you actually want to write anything plot-related – I’m also very happy about smut that is just about alphas happily fucking their omega.) Generally, I’m more interested in a story about a poly marriage that ends up being loving (though the way there can certainly be rocky and chaotic!), whether the alphas are also sleeping with each other/in romantic relationships or just friendly; rather than a story about an asshole omega king who forces alphas into his harem, or alphas who are unhappy with their lot in life even by the end of the story. I’d also love to get to know the characters, so I’d somewhat prefer several husbands with distinct personalities to a faceless, bigger group of husbands (unless, again, you’re going for PWP porn, which I would be totally fine with, then all is fair game). For smut, I prefer bottom and sub Omega King. If you include mpreg, I prefer pregnant Omega King.

I’d want all of the people involved in this marriage to be over eighteen and not related to each other (and not having raised each other even if they’re not blood-related, though people of the same age growing up together is totally fine, as long as they didn’t see each other as siblings), but that’s pretty much it!

If this is an Omega King who has been married to his Alpha Husbands for a while, before he became king, I’d love to see their day-to-day life – whether the husbands are a factor at court, or whether they mostly get to be trophy spouses. No matter if they are solving a political crises, engaging in court drama, or winning a war, all would be great; however, something domestic, romantic, or smutty would be just as nice. Or maybe the Alpha Husbands prepare some sort of surprise for their overworked Omega King?

Perhaps a new Alpha Husband has to be integrated because the Omega King made a treaty with someone that was sealed with marriage. This new person finding their place in the group dynamic would be great to see.

Of course, the characters could also be in a poly relationship simply because it’s a possibility and they all want to be married to each other.

In case you opt for writing a society where omegas are oppressed and/or supposed to fit into very narrow stereotypes, does the New Omega King try to play into it (with what level of success?) and subvert the rules from inside, or does he end up on the fringes of society where flaunting the rules is easier (which is probably a lot harder now that he’s on the throne)? In any case, what do the Alpha Husbands think of him? Perhaps there are even cultural differences in the perception of omegas if the marriages were made across country/species lines; some Alpha Husbands could be more traditionalist, others more permissive than what the New Omega King is used to. (Threats of sexual violence against the New Omega King would be fine to include here, although please not from the Alpha Husbands.)

Maybe the Omega King was only an Omega Duke or something, happily living with his several Alpha Husbands, which might be unorthodox (perhaps it’s more normal that alphas take several omegas, but not really the other way around), but since he wasn’t much of a presence at court, no one really cared that much. Suddenly, his family gets decimated and him and his Alpha Husbands are in the spotlight as he becomes the Omega King.

I do love the trope of people having to win ritual combat against their potential spouse. How does this work in the context of a group marriage? Are they allowed to band together? Or maybe no one ever banded together before because everyone wanted the Omega King (and the position of king’s consort) for themselves, but the Omega King is a very accomplished fighter who beat everyone. However, these Alphas realise the rules don’t specify they can’t band together, and the Omega King decides to honour their clever strategy by marrying all of them.

If they banded together from the start for ritual combat against the Omega King, maybe the Alphas are even already in a poly relationship. However, it would also be interesting to see a group of ambitious Alphas do this for political reasons and then start to like each other and the Omega King.

Maybe for ritual combat against the Omega King, they also have to beat him one by one. Perhaps the Omega King opens up a spot for a new addition and his already existing Alpha Husbands watch the people trying out with great interest? Or they are all picked at the same time and the Alphas who end up being his husbands all beat him with different strategies (maybe one wins by just having overwhelming strength, one tricks him, one hexes him...).

Mating runs are also always fun! Same as above, can the Husbands band together to catch him? Did they plan to do so, or did they just end up realising on the chase that it would make sense to work together? Or maybe three (or more) of them also accidentally work together by cornering the Omega King and then get in a fight about who has the right to marry him. The Omega King decides that for fairness’s sake, they should all be his husbands.

Ritual bride stealing is also very cute. I’m assuming the Omega King would be the bride. Does he just let the Alphas steal him because it’s just a ritual, anyway, or does he try to escape them? How quickly can the Alphas capture him? Maybe the Omega King is a bit of a trickster or has pride in his skills as a warrior, so it ends up being more of a struggle than the Alphas figured?

Generally, I would also love to see courtship. Obviously, a courtship that includes at least three and possibly more people is always going to be a bit unconventional. Do the Alphas court the Omega King together or do they make a bit of a competition out of it? Maybe the Omega King runs himself ragged trying to show every Alpha the same amount of attention? And what about the prospective Alpha Husbands among each other? Perhaps it’s not unusual for an omega king to have several spouses, but the fact that he also allows them to court each other is very unconventional.

Arranged marriage is a great trope for this, too, of course. Maybe the omega King is unsure whether the Alphas that he has been allotted for various political reasons actually want to be in this marriage and he wonders if they’re going to take this out on him in various ways, including in the bedroom. However, it turns out his Husbands are actually quite nice. On the other hand, perhaps the Alphas were the ones expecting this to end badly because the Omega King has a reputation as a jaded warrior or stern high priest or dangerous wizard, but it turns out he’s actually a lot less terrifying than advertised.

Perhaps two or more Alphas were already in a relationship before entering an arranged marriage with the Omega King, or start dating during the marriage. They planned to keep it a secret, but the Omega King finds out. To their surprise, this doesn’t really bother the Omega King at all. (Due to the set-up of arranged marriages, and the Omega King never making any rules, anyway, I would not consider this hitting the cheating DNW.)

If group marriages are common, there might even be different kinds of alliances the Alpha Husbands are for – one is connected to a neighbouring country, one to a powerful vassal, one is the scion of a rich merchant’s guild, or similar stuff. This would mean they all have different backgrounds to each other, too. It would be interesting to see them all dealing with each other and the Omega King.

A royal alliance between several countries/cultural groups that is sealed by the Omega King marrying an Alpha from each of them would also be interesting.

If the Omega King is new, maybe he inherited a conflict from the person who had the throne before? It might have been a long, bloody fight and the Omega King seeks peace for his people. If this means he has to have several husbands to make several sides happy, well, he’ll do it.

Perhaps the Omega King is also backed into a corner and forced to accept the terms the other side has (they may have even killed his predecessor(s)). If they want him to marry like four or five of their alphas, well, group marriages may not be a thing in his culture, but what can the Omega King do but agree to protect his country? However, the actual marriage ends up not being as bad as he feared.

If the marriage is arranged for political reasons, it would not be uncommon if they only met on the wedding day. I’d love to see the Omega King and his Alpha Husbands feel out each other on their wedding day. Do they get along from the start? Do they need time to warm up to each other? How do they deal with the festivities and rituals and what does it teach them about each other?

Mutual pining within an arranged marriage is also a delicious flavour. The Omega King thinks the Alpha Husbands only agreed to this marriage for political reasons and must be unhappy with this, so he doesn’t want to push them into anything that could be considered marital duties (except maybe he’s forced to ask when it comes to procreation, since he needs an heir – sex while mutually pining is also great!). The Alpha Husbands think the Omega King is uncomfortable with this arrangement and don’t want to force him into anything. How do they figure out they all want the same thing?

Some pining between the Alpha Husbands would also be interesting. Maybe the Omega King ends up brokering relationships between them, since he feels bad they all have to share him, and would rather see them happy, since he is actually crushing on them. However, it turns out the Alpha Husbands don’t just like each other, but the Omega King, too.

Pining or not, considering this is likely a political marriage, no one expects them to be in love, and they were mostly hoping for just an amicable relationship with their spouses. However, after they are married, they end up slowly falling for each other.

Generally, I’d also enjoy to see how they work out their routines in a poly relationship. If they all just met on the wedding day or were never all in a room together before that, I’m sure it would be a challenge to figure out this poly marriage at first. How do they fare and how do they get comfortable with each other?

The above would still be an interesting prompt if the poly marriage was not actually a political necessity, but a decision the Omega King and his Alpha Husbands made because they were in love and all wanted to be married.

I would love to see them sleep together on the wedding night! Is it a lot of limbs all over the place and a bit awkward? Is it surprisingly good? How do the Alpha Husbands deal with each other and with the Omega King?

Every Alpha Husband has to be with the Omega King at least once during the wedding night according to tradition, so depending on how many there are, the Omega King might be pretty exhausted afterwards. Both the process and the Alphas perhaps cuddling him afterwards would be fun.

A wedding night introducing a new Alpha Husband into the fold could also be really cool!

All the Alpha Husbands “ganging up” on the Omega King would be great. Does the Omega King ask for it, or is it something that just develops naturally out of the moment? Do the Alpha Husbands who are waiting their turn keep each other company?

If bloodlines are important, it’s a good guess the Omega King would still be a virgin – and now he gets to have his first time with several people at once. Do the Alpha Husbands try to make it a little bit less overwhelming?

However, maybe the Omega King had some clandestine affairs, but one of the Alpha Husbands happens to be a virgin. The Omega King and the other Alpha Husbands teaching him what to do would be interesting.

Generally, I’m always open to all kinds of smut, of course, whether it’s part of a longer story or PWP! Heat and rut sex are always appreciated, too, of course.

The Omega King being an Omega King implies a bloodline-based inheritance system, so what about having children? I’d love to see them trying for a child (with a focus on romance or breeding kink, depending where you want to take this), the Alpha Husbands caring about their pregnant Omega King, or see how their family raises their child(ren).

For Art: Any of the above would be great, of course. This prompt potentially involves quite a number of people (three at minimum), so I’d really love any picture of the Omega King with all his Alpha Husbands, maybe dressed up for a function, or relaxing in the Omega King’s quarters, taking a stroll through the city or a ride into the countryside. Of course, I’m always here for shippy pictures, like kisses, cuddling, and hugging. The Omega King in the middle of a cuddle pile (or in the middle of his Alpha Husbands in a... less innocent situation) would be great, too.
