Fandom 5K 2023 Letter

[ungefug]

Hello author!

Thanks for writing something for me! And a disclaimer up ahead, everything except the DNWs is a kind suggestion. Do as you please, really, go nuts. I'm always happier if you make something you're comfortable with rather than bind yourself to the things I've listed.

I'm not much of a long fic writer so perhaps my thoughts/prompts tend not to run along plots as much as moods and moments, but I am just as happy to receive a long-spanning narrative driven fic as I am happy to receive a single scene or some loose collection of moments like a 5+1.

I am okay with all sorts of unpleasant topics like racism, sexism and homophobia, especially where it makes sense in the canon. But I don't want to read transphobia. I'm okay with asshole POVs (I nominated assholes for a reason). I don't like to read about gay men's disgust for women's bodies or hate of femininity ("I love him, because he's so strong and buff and not soft and weak like a woman" kind of things).

If you stalk my ao3: rest assured, I also enjoy a lot of things very different from what I write myself ;)

Smut Likes

I like any level of explicit, from the crude to the flowery. I have a general purpose list of smut things that interest me here.


Prompts

Wrestling in General

With wrestling, unless otherwise specified, I enjoy both in and out of kayfabe fic and everything in between where wrestlers act like their stage persona but matches are fake.

I enjoy the fake performance, all the trust involved in an act of mutual brutalization, in ring communication, secret signals, whispers, when wrestlers just get along so well that it's like a violent dance. I enjoy the absurdity and drama of real injuries in the ring and how to deal with it (trying to hide it, trying to get an unwilling wrestler out of the ring fast, going off script), the aftermath of that in the locker room (it's not your fault.. or it is). I enjoy blading.

Also in general, I just really like... wrestling. The tropes, the grappling, the drama, the ever same stories that cut to the essence of good and evil, the campness, the interaction with the crowd and the camera, the whole locker room and road trips habitat, the way it's a rotten business, the way some wrestlers are addicted to something that destroys them. 


Ring of Honor

DNWs:

• shoot names
• noncon between Bryan, Joe and Punk (Raven okay)

CM Punk

What I find interesting about him: He's straight edge and so annoying about it, you'd think he wants you to make him break edge. He's got daddy issues. He latches onto veteran wrestlers and is so proud when they beat him up in or outside the ring. He's arrogant but seems to delight in being wrecked and debased in the ring. He's got a victim and martyr complex. He's a masochist and a narcissist. He's very stupid about not taking pain killers and working through injury that he really shouldn't. He's really pretty.

How does he survive the locker room climate and machismo being so cute? I'd like to see him put under a microscope or dissected like a frog. I'd like to see him hurting and comforted.

 

CM Punk/&Raven

I think their relationship is fascinating both in and out of kayfabe and in the space in-between. Some notes: Punk projecting his daddy (and daddy's alcoholism) issues on Raven. Smartass Raven mentoring him (digging deep into wrestling history, terminology and workings appreciated). The abusive nature of that mentoring in the wrestling business. Callbacks to the abusive (both in and out of kayfabe, really) Stevie and Raven situation. Consent issues (in the ring or in the hotel bedroom). Raven making Punk break edge. Punk taking advantage of Raven when he's drunk. Sadomasochism. Drugs. Blading. Punk being put in his place and loving it some kind of way. Super open to darkfic here.

 

CM Punk/&Bryan Danielson

Weird guys. Boyfriends? Boybestfriends? Best technical wrestlers today meets "I'm a submission guy" Punk. According to Punk's livejournal American Dragon follows Punk around serenading him and shares his "intense respect for bathroom etiquette." Road trips, wrestling adventures, bathroom adventures.

 

CM Punk/&Samoa Joe

... and they were besties.

I am 0% interested in full kayfabe fic here. I like them as friends, as enemies in the ring that actually trust each other so deeply, I like Joe being stiff in the ring and Punk loving getting wrecked. Or in Punk's own words: "Bloody noses, finger biting, and face kicking like only two guys who love each other can do. Pure fuckin' romance."

Hurt Punk and comforting Joe is high up on the list of interests, check out my H/C letter. I'm also interested in all sorts of no-homo shenanigans that are actually very homo. Unresolved sexual tension, repressed feelings, friends with benefits. Also check out my Smut4Smut signup.

World Wrestling Entertainment

DNWs:

• shoot names
  

CM Punk

What I find interesting about him: He's straight edge and so annoying about it, you'd think he wants you to make him break edge. He's arrogant but seems to delight in being wrecked and debased in the ring. He's got a victim and martyr complex. He's a masochist and a narcissist. He's very stupid about not taking pain killers and working through injury that he really shouldn't. He's really pretty. I'd like to see him put under a microscope or dissected like a frog. I'd like to see him hurting and comforted.

 

I'm interested in kayfabe and out of kayfabe stories. Some of my favorite eras are 2009 when he turned heel and was incredibly evil while also being soo cute and smug. Straight Edge Society Punk is one of those that I love a lot in kayfabe because if the whole cult angle. I also ship him with his followers or would enjoy H/C scenarios. New Nexus interests me for the same reason: Punk having his group of big dumb followers that protect and serve him. Same applies here about smut and H/C.

 

I'm also interested in the out of kayfabe medical drama at the end of his career and using this for H/C scenarios. Anything exaggerating the general evil WWE situation to more cartoonishly evil levels and absurdity is also appreciated.

CM Punk/Triple H

Psychosexual obsessions galore. I love the hate they have for each other! In kayfabe, out of kayfabe, hate is hate. Their whole (tragically fizzled out storyline) with Punk taunting and teasing HHH, playing with his tie (he's obsessed with the suit/tie as symbols of the evil authority... also: "Can I wear your blazer?"), going "oh, you want to hurt me, yeah, you want to hurt me so bad, tell me about how you want to hurt me, big man" is like crack to me. That brief moment in their match at Night of the Champions 2011 when HHH is pummeling him and pulling his hair and Punk is grinning manically.

 

There is also something so fun about HHH seeming completely ill-equipped to deal with Punk's weaponized flirting (see promo clip "I wanna know personally what your feelings are for CM Punk?").

 

And then there is the shoot elephant in the room, HHH supposedly saying "Punk's ass is too big and too soft for TV". Why are you looking at his ass?? Love to see HHH hating Punk because he's attracted to him, sitting behind the monitors at gorilla, seething with rage because Punk sells/suffers like a slut.

 

On Punk's side I enjoy him getting off on living in HHH's head rent free, driving HHH to lash out and fuck him (up) and being in the worst fucking position, going through something truly terrible, all the while thinking "hah, I got him exactly where I want him" (you do not, you are unwell). I also have a soft spot for victims of abuse/rape somehow still getting their narrative revenge, if only by making their assailant feel disgusting and miserable about themselves, maybe by showing them the extend of the damage they've done or getting the verbal upper hand.

 

Also I might be mixing things up but in reference to the whole staph infection thing, I recently read HHH saying Punk is so closed off, HHH always asked him if he was okay, and he always said he's fine and it had me laughing. Oh, he's not opening up to you, not showing his weakness? I wonder why. Do with this what you want. Staph infections and general misery are on the table.

All Elite Wrestling

DNWs:

• shoot names
• noncon between Dax/Punk/Cash (forgot this in my sign up)

Dax Harwood/CM Punk/Cash Wheeler

What did they do to that old man? I love the married couple dynamics between Cash and Dax and I'm curious about how they got a third. Is it a one time thing, just sexual, more to it? I love Punk as an incessant flirt hitting on Dax (maybe not even on purpose, he just can't help himself) and while I'm not interested in this causing some kind of drama between the married men it's still interesting to explore how Cash features into it and if he's as intensely smitten as Dax.

 

On the more smut side of things I love that they are all older men, thick, Cash and Dax quite hairy. Love to see all three characterized as pigs, very comfortable in their sexuality and very kinky. Attention to scars very much welcome. Also check out my Smut4Smut signup.

 

Smut aside sparring and watching old Bret Hart tapes together is also super cute.

 

Dean Ambrose | Jon Moxley/Wheeler Yuta

Dean Ambrose | Jon Moxley/William Regal

William Regal/Wheeler Yuta

Bryan Danielson/William Regal

Bryan Danielson/Jon Moxley

The BCC polycule. Love the BCC as some fight club but gayer because everyone also fucks after they've beaten each other up real good. I enjoy comparisons to dog packs (marking, sniffing, throats bared and bellies rubbed, wounds licked) here.

 

I should note that you don't have to get everyone involved. I'm perfectly happy receiving just YutaMox or BryanMox etc without anyone else present and I would definitely find that easier to read than having everyone engaged equally.

 

This is one of the few wrestling prompts where I'm quite a lot into pure kayfabe actually and making the BCC seem so much more cool than it actually is.

 

Interesting stories might be Yuta getting introduced to the magical world of consensual violence, being mentored in taking Mox apart by Regal. Regal testing his boys, pushing them to the edge and beyond, or some kind of "fluff but they are freaks".

 

When it comes to penetrative sex, if you do write that, I prefer Mox bottoming and Yuta topping (regardless of ship). Slightly related I also prefer this for the sm part of bdsm. Mox receiving pain and Yuta giving it. And check out my Smut4Smut signup.


Trust (TV 2018)

Primo Nizzuto

• Character study!
• he's my slut (affectionate), he's my 35 year old man child, he has anger issues, he's pretty smart but not as smart as he thinks he is, his fashion sense is impeccable
• His past, especially 20-30 ( I don't need to feel exceptionally sorry for him, he can be a monster even if his father beat him)
• Everything 70s/late 60s, Rome, the night life, coke, more coke, also coke, cruising, casual sex, did I mention coke?
• His relationship to his car or guns, I'm sure he has names for his girls
• He's my LBD and I ship him with everyone (except incest or Leonardo)
• In particular: Primo/Angelo, Primo/Dante, Primo/Chace, Primo/Regina, Primo/OCs
• some stuff that is less explored in canon, filling the gaps, missing scenes
• his future, the port, being the king of his castle
• Primo & Francesco or even Primo/Francesco if you make it dark - it's dark, okay?
• Italian history (ww2, fascism, the American landing, the young moving North for labour, capitalism, revolts, communists, and so on)
• Does he remember the war, the Americans landing, any memories of chocolate, tanks and mines?
• Rome vs Calabria: alienation and transgression, generational conflicts, discrimation of South Italians, Primo's masculinity versus Salvatore's masculinity versus Paul's masculinity
• doing crime stuff, questionable ethics, being a bad person but in a charming way
• arrogance, arrogance tested and shattered (drag him, hurt him)
• Angelo, what's "suck my cock in English?"
• 5+1 five people Primo killed in a fit of anger and one he didn't
   

The Boys (TV 2009)

DNWs:

• noncon/dubcon between Kimiko and Frenchie
• Kimiko being without her powers for large stretches of the fic

I've split this into ship and solo but you can probably draw from either of them.

 

The Female | Kimiko Miyashiro/The Frenchman

• Holidays in Europe (for them and me, the reader)
• Honeymoon in Marseille (metaphorical, please don't have them marry)
• Marseille has a big crime issue... Frenchie as damsel in distress (just don't make him incompetent), Kimiko has to save Frenchie from a bad situation he gets into because of his past, from a simple robbery, from a supe
• Kimiko gets to kick ass, they both do their parts supporting each other and the result is awesome
• Lots of first time for Kimiko (see my long list of kinks)
• Kimiko getting to enjoy Frenchie's masochism/submission (I like this to be more fluffy than grimdark, but I do not want him to be "fixed" or "cured" and become "normal")
• Hurt/Comfort with Frenchie receiving: Frenchie having a bad drug trip or overdosing, Frenchie being triggered by something back in France, Frenchie being faced with his past (his crimes, the consequences of his murders, Nina), Frenchie being roughed up, Frenchie being dub/nonconned
• free the man from Butcher's cruel hands
• Sitcoms, romantic comedies, musicals, cooking, clothes shopping
• Sign language!
• May I see his belly in a crop top please? Thanks.
• Check out my my H/C letter and my Smut4Smut signup.

The Frenchman

• Character study!
• Glimpses of his past (working for Nina, for Butcher, or also his childhood)
• Frenchie/Cherie/Jay (or some variation of love, friendship, sex between them)
• Frenchie/Cherie
• Frenchie/Nina (check out my consent issues sign-up)
• Frenchie & M.M.
• Boys just wanna have fun
• That face he makes when he sees the donut burger or the propaganda film, but as a whole fic about his experience in the US
• For the Kimiko ship I am pretty much into fluff and romance and happy endings but for him solo you can get as dark as you want
• Why is he dressed like Travis Bickle?
• Tell me about those raves

Demian - Herman Hesse

Max Demian/Emil Sinclair

Well, I forgot half of the things I was thinking about them, when I read the book but you know it's in the air yet Sinclair somehow manages to turn all his attraction towards Demian's mother. I'd love to see Demian opening Sinclair's mind in other ways. What better way to break free from the restraints of the bourgeois society than a bit of esoteric gay sex. It's a classic.

 

Also there is Sinclair's dream of the school bully (sexually) abusing him which at some point turn into Demian doing it. Demian could either get that out of Sinclair in some tense tightrope conversation or Demian just *knows* like he knows so many things.

 

Other things that interest me here: Demian as the lightbringer, the demonic, drug use to open the mind and get freaky, get oneiric.

Ancient History RPF

DNWs:

• issuefic about Elagabal as a transwoman

Varius Avitus Bassianus

I just think Elegabal is a fascinating and fun figure. I read Antonin Artaud's "Heliogabalus: Or, The Crowned Anarchist", which is more fiction than truth, but it's fun and I don't care about historical accuracy here, give me the drama. And I don't want to read anything super introspective about gender and identity that borders on issuefic.

 

Ships:

I'm okay with incestuous angles and explorations of his youth but also anything with his lovers/mantoys. And straight stuff too (or lesbian, whichever way you want him to present), if it wasn't obvious.

 

Prompts:

• his childhood (abuse? education? religion?)
• his coronation
• his entry into Rome
• his lovers (rated G to E)
• he likes big dicks and he cannot lie
• gender (no issuefic, girls just wanna have fun)
• religion, sun and blood
• death by roses
• "Elagabalus was said to have been captivated by the blond and youthful Hierocles when the athlete fell in front of him during a chariot race"
• Aurelius Zoticus
• tutor Gannys
• his death
• the aesthetics and decadence!
