Dear Press Start Creator

[originally_dw]

Thanks so much for creating something for me! I'm originally on AO3 and most other platforms.

I've requested fic, art or vids for all of my fandoms and I'm happy to receive a gift of any rating, including smut and PWP. In terms of format, I'm open to anything. I love all kinds of unusual and experimental stuff if that's your thing, including but not limited to found footage; mixed media; non-linear; vignette forms; epistolary; interactive fiction; and metafiction. I don't expect you to necessarily follow any prompt to the letter; feel free to use bits, or pull prompts apart and put them together in different ways, or just go with general likes and your own ideas. 

My general trope or narrative likes include:

• loyalty kink 
• basically anything that focuses on issues of honour/duty and how those intersect with personal relationships
• mentor/mentee dynamics
• snark and banter
• competence
• hurt/comfort
• bathing/grooming/shaving/dressing or undressing
• brotherhood and (found) family
• pining
• (unresolved) sexual tension 
• codependence and 'us against the world'-type dynamics
• bed/tent sharing and huddling for warmth
• stoic/non-demonstrative characters showing affection in their own way
• 'desperate last stand' situations
• 'calm before the storm'-type quiet moments
• friends to lovers
• enemies to lovers
• big, dramatic, angsty betrayals and fallings-out (i.e. lovers to enemies, with or without an eventual reunion)
• lovers on opposite sides of a conflict or antagonistic characters forced to work together for a common cause
• all kinds of time travel stuff/groundhog day/loops and reincarnation
• dimensional travel and the boundaries between worlds
• characters meeting at the wrong time/missed connections (or generally might-have-beens and fics that are wistful in tone)
• identity porn of all kinds
• road trips as a metaphor for coming of age and relationship developments
• outsider POV
• opposites/contrasts (class differences, age differences, themes of life/death, ice/fire, faith/skepticism, permanence/ephemerality etc. etc.)
• religion and ritual (and the intersection of these with magic and/or science and/or technology)
• mad science
• transhumanism
• cyberpunk/steampunk/basically all the -punks
• transformation and body horror
• cosmic/subterranean horror elements
• madness
• ambiguity/grey morality

My kink/porn likes include:

• bloodplay
• vore
• breathplay
• biting/marking
• comeplay/facials
• rimming/felching
• oral sex of every kind
• hatesex/rough sex
• sex with plenty of kissing
• fingering and fisting
• finger sucking
• non-penetrative sex/frottage, especially intercrural
• strap-ons and sex toys
• cross-dressing
• clothed sex (esp if only one participant is clothed) and related kinks like coming in pants or on clothes
• friends with benefits
• public sex/exhibitionism/voyeurism
• body worship
• praise kink
• BDSM (particularly ropes or other bondage, blindfolds, spanking, sensation play)
• edging and denial
• xeno (including tentacles)

In terms of art specific likes, I'm so bad at prompting for art but I'm sure if you make something that comes even vaguely in the direction of my general likes, I'll love it. More specific art stuff: I'd be more than happy to receive smutty art if that's your thing. Just like with fic, I'd be happy for you to experiment with format or palette on me (including meta stuff like in-game documents). I like focus on clothing details (and particularly if you wanted to draw someone in clothes from another genre like steampunk or Age of Sail). Portraits for any of my requested characters/pairings would be great, or an action scene from one of my longer prompts. 
 

And finally, please do not include any of the following in my gift:

• mundane/modern/depowered AUs (ie. canon divergence is welcome; coffee shops or high schools are not)
• curtainfic 
• A/B/O dynamics
• mpreg
• watersports
• scat
• public humiliation
• "lifestyle" or 24/7 D/s
• infantilisation or age play or use of the word 'daddy' in a sexual context
• wingfic 
• graphic depictions of rape (references, or dubcon scenes, are fine)
• graphic depictions of torture (references are fine)
• death of a requested character during the story (I'm okay with deaths of background characters or reactions to canonical deaths)

 

Deus Ex
Adam Jensen/Adam Jensen, Adam Jensen/Vaclav Koller, Adam Jensen/David Sarif, Adam Jensen/Zhao Yun Ru, Adam Jensen/Talos Rucker, Adam Jensen/Viktor Marchenko, Adam Jensen/Eliza Cassan, David Sarif/Vaclav Koller, Allison Stanek, Viktor Marchenko/Talos Rucker

Adam Jensen/Adam Jensen: Okay, so clonecest. I think there are some really interesting options to play with when it comes to the clones. I think it could be really fascinating for an Adam at a point in the future, or just an Adam soon after the events of MD, to meet a recently-defrosted clone without those experiences - maybe one that only has memories up to the Aug Incident, or the Sarif attack, or even a pre-augmented Adam. Or play with the idea that the version of Adam that wakes up in Alaska is not the original; that kind of existential crisis could make for some great angst (or hatesex). If you have non-clone selfcest ideas, I would also love to read those. Time travel? Dimensional travel (especially if Adam meets some kind of AU Adam from another time and/or genre: pulp hardboiled detective Adam? Steampunk Adam? Space opera assassin Adam? Go nuts). 

Adam Jensen/Vaclav Koller: I really love how much Koller geeks out over Adam's tech, so I'm interested in a piece that focuses on Adam's augs, either in a sexy aug kink kind of way or something a bit angstier that focuses on the whole 'never asked for this' aspect. Does a relationship with someone who so obviously loves their augs change Adam's perspective? I'm always up for 'Koller gets involved in a case' or 'Koller saves Adam for once' type narratives too.

Adam Jensen/David Sarif: I really want them to deal with the elephant in the room: what would it look like for Adam to confront David about what he did? What would it take to get him to that point? Alternatively, again, I really like the idea of David having to be the one who saves Adam for once. If you wanted to throw in an Adam clone as well, I wouldn't be opposed. Again, focus on aug kink would be great. 

Adam Jensen/Zhao Yun Ru: She's badass and she manipulated Adam as easily as breathing. I really just want more antagonistic mind games and aug fights and hatesex, either during the HR timeline or you could do something interesting with the idea that her consciousness became part of the Hyron Project - maybe she survived as some kind of AI version, or even merged with Eliza? 

Adam/Rucker or Adam/Marchenko: My interest in Adam/Marchenko is partly just because there's a certain appeal in Adam having menacing hatesex with large augmented dudes but I think it could be interesting to maybe see an AU where Adam had to infiltrate ARC more deeply (or even joins ARC in earnest? Is there something that could make him do that?) and had more time to develop a relationship with Rucker and/or Marchenko. What would that look like? What are the points of convergence and divergence between their worldviews and personalities? Would it be possible for those gaps to be bridged? I'm generally really fascinated by Rucker as a character but he was only in the game for such a short time. I'd like to know more about life in ARC, the politics of aug activism, the others he met along the way. How does he feel about his own augs (which, like Adam, seem to have been a matter of life or death)?

Adam Jensen/Eliza Cassan: I'm interested in the kind of big philosophical questions about AI and humanity, AI discovering what it's like to have a body, AI considering humanity and rejecting it... I'd like something that explores the ways they are similar and different. This could be either the 'official' Eliza or the rogue version. I also think there's some interesting stuff around their shared trauma, and Adam being the only person Eliza can trust. Hurt/comfort would be ideal. Voyeurism and related tropes with Eliza watching Adam and learning from him. Body sharing, either consensually or a less consensual scenario where it's needed for a case, or even where Eliza just decides to take control. There's so much potential when it comes to Adam's systems and Eliza's control over them; I'd love to see her tap into his neural augs, pleasure centres, pain centres, to test out his reactions or control his movements. I'm a big fan of AIs talking people to orgasm as a trope so that would obviously be excellent.Or how about You've Got Mail-style identity porn. Maybe she keeps up the Helle disguise even after she's been restored? Or takes on a different identity to keep up her friendship with Adam? Maybe if Adam tells her to hide? Either way, some AI catfishing (accidental or deliberate) could be fun. 

Allison Stanek: She's such a great character and I was really happy to get a closer look at some of the Church of the MachineGod stuff, which I find endlessly interesting. If you wanted to give me a slice of augmented cultist life, that would be amazing. Did she ever doubt or was she always firm in her faith? What about her conflict with Severn? I think it would be interesting to see her interact with Adam more; with so much of him augmented, he's something of a transcendentalist wet dream. I really enjoyed the familial way she talked to Adam (which I think ties into some of Adam's personal journey with self-conception and kinship with other augs). I don't mind how you get them together - maybe he needs a consult on a case involving MachineGod cultists? Or maybe something that fills in some of her backstory, becoming augmented and during the aug incident? Or her internal conflict about making the bombs?

Viktor Marchenko/Talos Rucker: I really love the double agent aspect of this, and I think the fact that Marchenko will inevitably participate in Rucker's assassination makes any potential exploration of their relationship particularly charged and interesting. How far is Marchenko willing to go to maintain his cover? Was there any point where Rucker could have actually turned him to his side? I think some kind of one-sided dubcon hatesex where Rucker is oblivious to Marchenko's true feelings would be perfect for this pairing.

David Sarif/Vaclav Koller(/Adam Jensen, if you want!): So, I just think this could be a really fun ship. Koller is super into Adam's SI tech so would that transfer to the man himself? How would David deal with Koller's, er, level of enthusiasm? Or would they maybe clash, since Koller doesn't seem to share David's idealist transhumanist politics?

Dishonored
Billie Lurk/Emily Kaldwin, Billie Lurk/Deliliah Copperspoon, Jessamine Kaldwin/Delilah Copperspoon 

These games have a lot of ingredients that were guaranteed to make them a hit with me: the steampunk aesthetic with the blending of magic and technology, a fascinating magic system, quasi-religious cult-worship of a trickster god, grey-morality and ethical dilemmas. Assassins! Magic assassins! Stealth and street gangs and terrifying clockwork robots. 

Billie/Emily: Identity porn would be perfect for this pairing. Could be a one night stand or something more long term, but I'd like to see them get together in the Dishonored 2 timeline, before Emily knows who Billie is. What happens when she finds out? Would Billie still tell her eventually? Could they ever reconcile who Billie was with what was between them? I think something casefic-ish could be really fun here too, where they both have to work together for a common cause after Billie gets powers. Would their ways of working be compatible? Would they be able to put their differences aside? 

Billie/Delilah: Maybe they're not really all that different? Slippery, dangerous women who work in the shadows and have a troubled past. This could be something set during the period where they were working together against Daud, or maybe later on, especially after Billie has her mechanical arm and eye. At what point did Delilah paint her? Fighty hate sex, with magic and powers and knives would be perfect, but I'd also love to see something where they work at some kind of uneasy truce of an attempt at romance, or even find themselves forced to work together for some reason and learn begrudging respect for one another. 

Jessamine/Delilah: The childhood friendship gone horribly wrong. Again, hate sex would be good for this pairing, with lots of complicated feelings on both sides. I'd like to see Delilah's art given some prominence - maybe she paints Jessamine, or more literally paints on Jessamine? 

 
Dragon Age
Renn/Valta

Renn/Valta: I fell in love with these two during The Descent and I'd love something that explored their history together. They've been working together for three years, but how did they get on at first? Did Renn always feel such loyalty to her or did he resent being asked to drag a historian around at first? What other things did they see down in the Deep Roads, either wondrous or terrifying? What is daily life like for a Shaper or for a Legionnaire? Was their sexual tension unresolved or did they snatch moments together when they could? Smut or tender moments or longing would all be awesome. Feel free to bring in other dwarf characters (especially Dagna or Varric). 

Firewatch
Delilah

I really love the atmosphere of this game, the whole lonely wilderness vibe, both the beauty and potential danger of nature, the 80s period references. I got really interested in Delilah and why she was out there, how much she knew, what her relationships might be like with the other lookouts, and why she got so interested in Henry. I'd be interested in any piece that explored her a bit more.


The Long Dark
Any

Like with Firewatch, I love the lonely wilderness vibe of this game. I'd be happy with something about any of the nominated characters, or an OC if you prefer, but I'd really like the focus to be on that experience of surviving alone in the cold. I think it could be interesting to see characters trying to piece together what happened, or for those who lived on Great Bear already, the experience of things getting slowly harder until they're the last one left. If you wanted to include some supernatural elements here, I wouldn't be opposed (but, let's be honest, canon aura-wolves are scary enough on their own!)

Tomb Raider
Lara Croft/Unuratu, Lara Croft/Crimson Fire, Lara Croft/Samantha Nishimura

Lara/Unuratu: I really liked Unuratu as a character, and I think some 'more experienced older woman'-type tropes could work really well for this pairing, as well as some interesting loyalty/power differential stuff. I think it could work as a situation where they both slowly learn to trust one another and friendship turns to something more, or maybe a situational tomb raiding thing where a sexy ritual is needed, or even something like sex pollen forces them together/

Lara/Crimson Fire: Chak Chel and Ix Chel are both creation/fertility goddesses, so what if the ritual to ignite the sun was a sexy one? 

Lara/Sam: Some hurt/comfort post Yamatai would be great, or even something set later in the canon. I know in Rise Lara says to her therapist that Sam doesn't want to see her - can they work past that? Can Lara figure out a way to apologise to Sam? Can Sam adjust to life again after having Himiko inside her? Do they just keep having ill-advised ex-sex that feels good at the time but makes them both feel shitty afterwards? I don't mind a bittersweet ending for these two. (NB: I haven't read any of the comics, so anything comics-only is likely to go over my head)

Transistor
Sybil/Red

I'd love something with Red/Sybil interacting either within the Transistor or during/after Sybil's transformation into the Process, especially from Sybil's perspective. This would be particularly awesome if it focused on the whole issue of what happens to people whose Trace is integrated into the Transistor. How much consciousness do they retain, can they interact, are they still individuals or more like facets of an AI personality? What is it like?

Alternatively, I'm always here for progressively desperate pining and Sybil's slide towards villainy.
