Rare Male Slash Exchange 2019

[withinadream]

I’m so sorry that this letter is so late! If you started writing/drawing based on my sign-up details, that is totally fine, everything in this letter is 100% optional.

Thank you for writing/drawing for me! I've requested art and fic for all fandoms/ships, and I've tried to leave art-suitable prompts for all of them as well--but I'm not an artist, so feel free to leave an anon comment or contact me through the mods if you want more details.

All of the prompts are just suggestions! I'll be happy with any gift focusing on any of my requested ships. Feel free to combine multiple requested ships in the same gift, including combining multiple overlapping ships into poly ships. And feel free to put in any background ships you like; I've got no NOTPs in my requested fandoms.

As far as rating and subject matter go, I’m good with anything from the fluffiest hand-holding to the most dirtybadwrong noncon, and anything in between. Any level of violence or gore is also okay. I love fluff, I love angst, I love porn, and I will most likely love whatever you create for me! For the ships where one of the members dies in canon, I'm good with everyone-lives AUs, sad character death-centric gifts, gifts set before the death, or anything else you can think of.

In addition, I'm totally down for gifts portraying any of my requested characters as trans dudes, but if you do smut involving trans characters, I prefer no PIV sex.

I have a tag of previous letters if you want to see what I've requested in past exchanges.

Note: I love all my requests equally, so please don't take length of prompts as indication of which ones I prefer! It's 100% an indication of which ones I had earlier prompts I could copy/paste and/or which ones belong to canons I watched/read/listened to recently, and 0% an indication of which ones I want more/less.

DNWs: pregnancy/mpreg/childbirth, modern/mundane AUs

General likes include: kidfic/Accidental Baby Acquisition, casefic, supernatural AUs or plots (especially ghosts and/or fairies), 5+1 fics, sexuality angst/internalized homophobia (especially in historical fandoms), hurt/comfort (especially recovery fic for canonical trauma), characters dressing up fancy or going undercover in ways that require them to wear clothes they normally wouldn't, truth-serum or truth-spell-induced confessions of emotions

Art likes include: any styles or media, blood/bruises/injuries, casual physical contact between ship members, crossdressing/guys in dresses or fancy lingerie, genre-change AUs (especially Westerns or different historical eras)

Porn-type likes include: pretty much anything under the BDSM umbrella, crossdressing/guys in dresses or fancy lingerie, sex pollen, characters accidentally stumbling into kinks they like (especially in historical fandoms), sex toys (especially vaguely historically accurate or magic sex toys where canon allows), rough sex, gunplay

Band Sinister - K. J. Charles

Ships

• Guy Frisby/Philip Rookwood - I desperately want to see more of their relationship post-book. I’m especially into Philip introducing Guy to all sorts of exciting aspects of London society now that Guy isn’t trapped in Yarlcote. I would also love to see some Guy/Philip & Amanda interaction. Pornwise I would love to see more of Philip introducing Guy to exciting new sex acts/etc, or lending him erotic literature.


• Lord Corvin/Guy Frisby/John Raven/Philip Rookwood - any of the Guy/Philip prompts still apply here. For this ship specifically, I would love to see their first few weeks/months/whatever post-book learning how they fit together. I’m totally down for fluff, but also for a bit of angst with Guy feeling insecure about his place in such a long-running relationship, Corvin and/or John feeling insecure about Philip being enthralled enough with his new beau that he leaves them behind, Philip worrying about balancing his relationships with the other three, etc. Porn-wise I would so love to see their first time having sex all together, especially if it’s Guy who initiates the foursome.


• Lord Corvin/John Raven/Philip Rookwood - I want to see all of the backstory/pre-canon details about their lives and relationship before the book! I would especially love a first-time fic, whether that’s their first time kissing or confessing their love or having sex or whatever you’d like. I’d also love to see something set when John leaves them to get married or when he returns to them. Anything about their childhoods/teenage years together would also be wonderful!

Benjamin January Mysteries - Barbara Hambly

Ships

With regards to Ben/Rose, I’d prefer polyamory/open relationships, AUs where Ben and Rose aren’t together, or just not mentioning their relationship. Mainly, I’m just not into infidelity angst for Ben ships.

For all three ships, I am always down for casefic, hurt/comfort (either based on canonical events or otherwise), and kidfic (with Ben’s canonical kids if you’re going an open relationship route, or Ben’s sister’s kids).

• Benjamin January/Hannibal Sefton - I will love any and all Ben/Hannibal shipfic or art, but I’m especially into an early-in-the-series dynamic where it starts as as a grief-and-loneliness-driven fling for Ben and grows into something more solid. I’m very into the musical aspects of the series, and I’d love to see fic or art of these two playing together.


• Benjamin January/Abishag Shaw - This is an especially great relationship for hurt/comfort in my opinion—I'd love to see an injured Shaw forced to rest up and let Ben take care of him. I've also had Shirt on his Back on my mind for my own fic reasons, and I want to see more of the aftermath of Johnny's death and the events of the book on Shaw; him mourning with Ben would be wonderful. I also want to see Shaw open himself up to a relationship.


• Benjamin January/Hannibal Sefton/Abishag Shaw - Feel free to apply any Ben/Hannibal or Ben/Shaw prompts to this ship! For the threesome specifically, we see a lot of Ben&Hannibal and Ben&Shaw interacting, but not much Hannibal&Shaw, and I’d love to see a work looking at those two (whether you go for a V with Ben at the center or a triad). I would love to see something set during Shirt on his Back, especially with that trip leading to the start of a relationship (but established relationship is welcome too!)

Blake & Avery Series - M. J. Carter

With regards to Avery’s canonical relationship, in post-marriage fic you can feel free to set your work in an AU where Avery and Helen never married, but for this ship I’m also totally down for infidelity (especially angsty infidelity where Avery hates himself for cheating but not quite enough to stop).

Ships

• William Avery/Jeremiah Blake - I loved their dynamic in the books so much, and I really want them to kiss under any circumstances whatsoever. Casefic/art is great, missing scenes from canon are great, post-book 3 fic or art is great, fluff/porn/whump set at some nebulous point in canon is great. I would especially love hurt/comfort with these two, especially playing off of some of the canonical injuries or illnesses. I am also very into Avery having his gay/bi/etc awakening with Blake and thus Blake introducing him to [insert sex acts of your choice here]. Blake’s disguise in The Devil’s Feast made me really want the events of that book awakening a desire for sexy roleplay in Avery (not necessarily with Blake as a valet, although that is fine!)

Green Men Series - K. J. Charles

I love the setting and world of the book, and for both ships I would love some supernatural casefic/art.

Ships

• Randolph Glyde/Saul Lazenby - I want to see so much more of their life together after the book. I am especially interested in seeing takes on Saul learning more about his new role/abilities and this hidden world he’s fallen into. I’d also love to see some domesticity with these two, especially Saul being so happy that he can be open about himself and his relationship with Randolph when he’s at home. Hurt/comfort with one of them being injured in the line of duty is also amazing. I’d also love some fic/art further post-canon with Randolph and Saul recruiting apprentices to their current roles.


• Hugh Barnaby/Max Isaacs - I was so intrigued by these two in the book, and I want so many more fanworks about them! I love their tragic noncon-experimentation past, and their friendship, and would love a gift set any time from the war to the book’s events and beyond. I would love to see them ending up seeking solace in each other during the war. I’d also love to see a post-war fanwork with them comforting each other through the bad episodes that the book alludes to. Pornwise, I would especially love to see something sexy involving their powers, especially as a reclamation of this thng that was forced on them.

Les Misérables - Victor Hugo

Ships

• Grantaire/Marius Pontmercy - The first live production of Les Mis I saw had Grantaire sit on Marius's lap and kiss him during Red and Black, and I've been in love ever since. I love the idea of Grantaire flustering, corrupting, and/or deflowering Marius, and Grantaire's snark and Marius's earnestness interacting. Grantaire and Marius getting drunk! Grantaire and Marius going to parties! Grantaire seducing Marius and being both dismayed and excited to find out he's a virgin!


• Courfeyrac/Marius Pontmercy - I realize there are already a billion takes on the "I have come to sleep with you" line and them being roommates, but I never get sick of it. My favorite thing about this pairing is Courfeyrac introducing innocent and anxious Marius to the world. I also love Marius (whose upbringing ranges from cold to downright abusive depending on how you interpret the text/which adaptation you’re going off of) learning to have friends and/or be loved.

Sam Wyndham Series - Abir Mukherjee

Ships

• Sam Wyndham/Surenandrath "Surrender-not" Banerjee - I really loved seeing their relationship grow over the course of the series, and would love to see how a romantic and/or sexual relationship would fit into the arc of the books. I was ecstatic that they ended up roommates after the first book, and would love to see them falling for each other during that time and having to live with the incredible awkwardness of falling for someone you live with (especially if you throw in some mutual pining). I also love the two of them solving crimes together, and how Sam draws on Surrender-not’s knowledge, and would love to see more of that in fic. And I am very into addiction and recover plots, so something drawing on Sam’s opium addiction would also be great!

Think of England - K. J. Charles

Ships

• Archie Curtis/Daniel da Silva - I love everything about their dynamic in the book: their differing skillsets, Daniel’s experience/Archie’s inexperience with sex, and the potential for a future doing espionage together. I would love something set post-canon with them working together if you are inclined to write/draw some spying. I would also love a look into the quieter moments of their post-book life, maybe Archie reading Daniel’s poetry or Daniel introducing Archie to his friends/the queer scene. Also if you are down for porn, I know there are one or two takes on Archie’s first time bottoming out there but I always want more of that.

The Alienist (TV)

Ships

• Laszlo Kreizler/John Moore - Casefic is always welcome, as is fic or art that presents only a snippet of them investigating more murders together. I am always a fan of "undercover as gay/a couple", but it would be especially good for these two (maybe there’s a serial killer going after people in 19th-century NYC’s gay clubs and Laszlo and John use themselves as bait). I would love backstory where they originally hooked up at school (and possibly have been steadfastly ignoring this hookup ever since, until something sparks them back together). I’d also love the proximity of the investigation causing them to fall for each other, possibly with some pining before they realize the feelings are requited. Or hurt/comfort, with either party as the hurt one.
