Id Pro Quo 2024

[withinadream]

Thank you for writing or drawing for me! I’ve requested fic and art for all of my fandoms. I am within_a_dream on AO3, and you can read my previous letters here if you want to see some of my previous exchange requests! I have requested both fic and art for all fandoms.

DNWs

• Noncanonical pregnancy, any childbirth - any canonical pregnancies are fine, just don't put the actual childbirth on the page/in the art


• Oviposition


• Modern/mundane/no-magic AUs


• Trans characters having PIV sex - other types of vaginal penetration or uses of dicks are fine!


• Removal of genitals, nonconsensual vaginoplasty/phalloplasty (exceptions for Ouyang and for any penis or testicle removal in Baldur’s Gate 3)

General Likes

• I love all tenses and POVs!


• Fic about canonical children, Accidental Child Acquisition of OC children (especially for characters who are not at all parental and have no idea what to do with kids)


• Casefic, with a loose definition of "case" that encompasses mysteries for mystery fandoms, paranormal investigations for fantasy canons, espionage for spy canons, etc


• Ghost stories! Particular favorites include the "ghostly hitchhiker" urban legend and the setup where characters need to spend the night in a haunted house for Reasons


• Recovery or aftermath – of canonical traumatic events or noncanonical torture, rape, murder attempts, etc


• Whump, hurt/comfort, hurt/no comfort


• 5+1 fics


• Epistolary fic


• Trans headcanons/character-is-trans AUs


• Internal or external homophobia

Art Likes

• I love any art styles and media!


• Ships sharing each other’s clothes


• Disheveled characters (whether from fights or sex or anything else)


• Clothing/costume porn


• Clothed/unclothed, or discrepancies in level of dress, for shippy art


• Limited color palettes


• Blood, bruises, marks

Smut Likes

• Feel free to include any of your favorite kinks if you are writing or drawing me smut! My only squicks are in my DNWs – anything else goes.
  
• Any and all sex acts (vaginal, anal, oral, manual, frottage, intercrural, fisting, double penetration, sounding, etc) are great! I have no top/bottom or dom/sub preferences.


• My favorite words for genitals are cock and cunt, but I have no objections to whatever you’d like to use


• Pretty much anything under the BDSM umbrella. I am especially into unnegotiated or undernegotiated kink, and characters falling into kinky dynamics or things they enjoy (especially with the younger characters). I have no dom/sub preferences


• I would love noncon for any of my requested characters or fandoms – if you want to know more about what I like in dubcon or noncon I have a general list of kinks and tropes here in my Consent Issues letter. I generally prefer noncon with an OC or canonical antagonist as the rapist, and "fuck or die" setups between my requested characters are also great!


• Roleplay – I am into both serious roleplay and goofy scenarios that the characters can’t quite take seriously, and I am especially fond of rape roleplay/consensual non-consent


• Group sex, orgies, and gangbangs


• Gunplay, especially fucking someone with a gun


• Watersports – I am mostly into it for humiliation or marking aspects, and am neutral about drinking piss (and would prefer if any drinking happens it’s someone having their mouth pissed in directly rather than just drinking a glass of pee/etc)

Queen’s Thief – Eugenides

• 1: Eugenides (Queen’s Thief) – Gen has been one of my favorite characters since childhood and I’m still not over him. Works set at any point in the series (or pre- or post-canon) are all great. I love watching his thefts and political machinations, I love whump (and I love the thing where he simultaneously complains loudly about every minor inconvenience and never wants anyone to know when he’s seriously hurt), I love his disability and general poor health, and I love any and all ships involving him.


• For the rape-related tags, I’m down for it happening at any point in canon, but a few scenarios I have in mind are Ambiades targeting Gen during The Thief, possibly forcing Sophos to join in, and Nahuseresh and/or Bu-Seneth during Gen’s capture in Return of The Thief. I talk more about those specifics in this Consent Issues letter. But feel free to go in another direction if you’ve got ideas!

Tags

• After rapists are done their dogs/other animals get a turn


• Adapting to new disability


• Character hides the extent of their injury/illness (and gets found out)


• Character With Chronic Pain Receives Comfort and Has Needs Tended to By Loved One On Bad Pain Day


• Chronic Pain


• Dub/noncon - Character unable to hide evidence of their rape from others – I just really love Eugenides being forced to share what happened/someone deducing what happened


• Extreme rape that ends with person emotionally/physically battered


• Hurt/Comfort - Character usually good at hiding their chronic pain; is in too much pain to hide it


• learning new languages – I’m a huge language nerd, and I’d love to see Gen studying or practicing any of the languages we see him use in canon, or other languages. Perhaps involving him finding native speakers to practice with incognito (maybe he had Kamet teach him some Mede when he was undercover as a servant)


• Medical Care After Violent Rape – he’s always reluctant to submit to medical care, and I imagine he’d be even more reluctant after a rape. This could be with the royal doctors or with one of his loved ones


• Old Injuries Acting Up


• Rape Aftermath


• Recruiting a third to conceive a child - or asks their already-established third if he wouldn’t mind being the secret biological father of Attolia’s baby, as one does. For the reason behind it, perhaps Gen is trans, or infertile, or the gods have foretold that Eugenides cannot father their children at risk of catastrophe/recessive Eddisian genetic condition/etc (or if you want to get super angsty with it, Gen prays to the gods for the reason behind Attolia’s miscarriage and is told any children fathered by him won’t be born alive). I’m o into all the complicated emotions this would create, with Gen and Attolia needing to find someone they can trust to never reveal the baby’s true paternity, and the bio father having to agree to life at a remove form the baby he fathered, and probably feelings of inadequacy on Gen’s part. I would be very into Gen worrying about how he’ll feel about the baby and then as soon as the twins are born (assuming you go with canon), he loves them instantly and just like he was the one who conceived them. Also them finding a way to include the bio dad in the baby’s/babies’ lives in spite of the scrutiny the royal heirs would be under would be lovely.


• Trans Male Character – I have accidentally gotten super into trans Eugenides and I’m just throwing it out there in case I can snag someone else. You know how the current Thief of Eddis like, receives an epiphany when the new Thief is born? I have this image of Gen’s grandfather seeing baby Gen and saying that his name will be Eugenides, and everyone rolling with it despite the baby being AFAB. Can’t argue with the gods! There can be past Thieves who have had their gender affirmed by the god Eugenides, or it’s a new thing, and it can be somewhat known in Eddis or a secret. I’m down for pretty much anything that rolls with trans man Gen.

Queen's Thief – Pheris

• 1: Pheris Erondites (Queen's Thief) – I was not expecting to come out of Return of the Thief loving Pheris so much. I want so many more fanworks about him! I want to see more of what he does post-canon, and I want him to be happy after his incredibly shitty childhood. I also really love the exploration of disability and the multiple disabled characters in canon and would love to see more of that in fics.

I have slightly different tags for Pheris and for my shippy requests, but feel free to include, say, Pheris learning a new language and Gen rape aftermath in the same fanwork.

Tags

• Character hides the extent of their injury/illness (and gets found out)


• Character is Excited to Learn


• Character Mourns Death of Longtime Abuser – we see members of Pheris’s family die near the end of the series, and I’d love to see him having some complicated emotions about that post-canon


• Character thinks their trauma is normal – would love to see Pheris fully thinking his family's actions are at least understandable and his reactions to them and coping mechanisms for not upsetting his family/avoiding situations that trigger him are just like, things everyone deals with, and someone else being horrified


• Character With Abusive Childhood Adjusts to Non-Abusive Current Life


• Character With Chronic Pain Receives Comfort and Has Needs Tended to By Loved One On Bad Pain Day


• Chronic Pain


• learning new languages

Queen’s Thief – Costis/Kamet

• Kamet/Costis Ormentiedes (Queen's Thief) - The culture clash between these two, Kamet adapting to life as a freedman, the sharing of myths and legends, Costis's mediocre Medean...there's nothing I don't love about these two and I desperately want more shippy content for them in my life. I'd love to see Kamet telling Costis more legends, how a romantic relationship would develop in parallel to the events in TaT, or what the two of them get up to during or after Return of the Thief (especially the war from their point of view!). Either one as the dom/sub and either one as the rape victim for relevant tags is welcome. For the past trauma/rape, I like takes where Kamet was expected to sleep with Nahuseresh or his guests when he was a slave, and I’m also down for Costis having been raped in the past.

Tags

• BDSM - Guilty Dom learns to accept sadistic side – really into kink discovery from the sadist’s POV, and either Costis or Kamet as the sadist would be very fun


• After rapists are done their dogs/other animals get a turn


• Character hides the extent of their injury/illness (and gets found out)


• Character's Sexual Trauma Revealed During Consensual Sex They Thought They Could Handle


• Consensual Non-Consent


• Consensual Sex Character Thought They Could Handle Causes Flashback to Past Rape


• Dub/noncon - Character unable to hide evidence of their rape from others


• Dub/Noncon - Characters Forced By Third Party to Have Sex


• learning new languages – I think Kamet should help Costis work on his Medean (or other languages), possibly in a sexy way. Or they both study a new language together!


• Medical Care After Violent Rape


• Noncon - A Takes Noncon or Torture Intended for B; B Is Forced to Watch – I could see either of them sacrificing themselves for the other (maybe Kamet feels like he’s more used to submitting to sex he doesn’t want, or Costis feels he’s stronger and more able to take it), and the other feeling incredibly guilty


• Noncon - Character A is Gang Raped in Front of Character B


• Old Injuries Acting Up


• Rape Aftermath


• Undercover as Master and Slave - we get a bit of this in canon and I want more scenarios where they have to go undercover, especially post-canon once their relationship has become more intimate and it’s more difficult for them to pretend. Kamet or Costis as the slave would both be fun!

Society of Gentlemen

I’ve requested characters/ships where I have no preference as to who the victims are, which is why David/Richard isn’t in here, but I’m down for any other ships appearing/getting equal focus as well as long as my requested characters/ships are in there. I’ve got some suggestions for rapists, but feel free to run with something else (as long as it’s not any of the “good guys”) if you’ve got ideas! I just want more noncon for my romance novel fandom tbqh.

• Dominic Frey/Silas Mason (Society of Gentlemen), 1: Dominic Frey (Society of Gentlemen) – Dom’s history of bad times with his past sex/kink partners is such fertile ground for noncon and whump. In addition to Dom/Silas, feel free to have him interact with any of the Ricardians, who I’m assuming he absolutely would not want to tell if he was raped (especially Richard). And I love the potential for self-loathing and self-blame (wasn’t he quite literally asking for it? So who is he to be upset about being hurt in ways he didn’t want to be hurt?) And there’s much less Silas whump out there but Silas having been raped in the past would also be very welcome (instead of or in addition to Dom), perhaps during his time in prison


• David Cyprian & Silas Mason (Society of Gentlemen) – I really love the friendship these two develop, and I’d love to see Silas being the person David trusts most to turn to with trauma, or vice versa. For David, Maltravers is a favorite for choice of rapists, or him running into an OC who assumes he has the right to fuck the help.


• Gabriel Ashleigh/Francis Webster (Society of Gentlemen) – I wish I had a full novel of these two, and I want so much whump about them. For Ash, I’m especially fond of Maltravers having abused him in the past, or perhaps attacking Ash and/or Francis post-Gentleman’s Position as a revenge thing. OCs also very welcome!

Tags

• Abuser branded A as their property; B accidentally sees the mark on A's skin - for everyone except Dom, I’m very into the character going to great lengths to hide this mark, and for Dom/Silas – Silas sees every inch of Dom as part of their initial sexual relationship and I’m very into Dom expecting to be asked or shamed about it but Silas not bringing it up (and maybe asking about it much later as a sign of how their relationship and the trust between them has grown)


• After rapists are done their dogs/other animals get a turn


• Character's Sexual Trauma Revealed During Consensual Sex They Thought They Could Handle


• Consensual Sex Character Thought They Could Handle Causes Flashback to Past Rape


• Dub/noncon - Character surprised by seeing their rapist years after dub/non-con - I’m especially into them trying to hide their reaction, and not wanting to tell everyone why they know this guy (and perhaps the rapist palling up to them and pretending their last meeting was as friends)


• Dub/noncon - Character unable to hide evidence of their rape from others


• Medical Care After Violent Rape – whether that’s official medical care or their friends helping clean them up


• Noncon - other characters find out about the rape


• Rape Aftermath


• Revenge - character & friends orchestrate intricate revenge plot – listen the whole taking down Maltravers plot was so iddy to me and I want to see the gang taking revenge on any iven rapist

Baldur’s Gate – specific noncon ships

Baldur’s Gate DNWs:

• M/F monogamous ships involving Tav or Dark Urge. M/M, F/F, nonbinary Tav/Durge, or poly ships all good!


• Mystra portrayed as grooming Gale or having started their relationship when he was underage (I love Mystra/Gale as a toxic/bad relationship otherwise! And other underage sex or characters being groomed is welcome too. For Gale requests, DNW Mystra as the rapist or abuser referenced by my requested tags.

Ships

• Lorroakan/Rolan (Baldur's Gate) - Everything about the Lorroakan & Rolan dynamic in canon is perfect to me. I just want to see Rolan fucked up! Lorroakan & Rolan also welcome. This can be the canon-typical physical abuse we see/hear about, magical rituals, maybe Lorroakan summons or makes Rolan summon a creature or demon or something similar that mauls or rapes or otherwise harms Rolan...I also love aftermath with the party rescuing Rolan


• Mizora/Wyll Ravengard (Baldur's Gate) - I love Wyll and I love to see Mizora fuck him up! Punishing him for disobeying her, punishing him just because, demon transformation stuff, or anything else you can think of is great! I also really love the scenario where Mizora has been raping Wyll long-term as part of their pact, and once he hooks up with the rest of the tadpole crew, one or more of them realizes what Mizora is doing to him

Tags

• Dubcon/noncon - character used until limp and exhausted/unconscious


• After rapists are done their dogs/other animals get a turn


• Extreme rape that ends with person emotionally/physically battered


• extremely violent noncon


• forced bestiality - can be mundane animals or monsters, demonic creatures, etc!


• Humiliation - Involuntary arousal mocked by rapist(s)


• Noncon - victim is convinced others will blame them for being raped

Baldur’s Gate – Individual Characters

Baldur’s Gate DNWs:

• M/F monogamous ships involving Tav or Dark Urge. M/M, F/F, nonbinary Tav/Durge, or poly ships all good!


• Mystra portrayed as grooming Gale or having started their relationship when he was underage (I love Mystra/Gale as a toxic/bad relationship otherwise! And other underage sex or characters being groomed is welcome too. For Gale requests, DNW Mystra as the rapist or abuser referenced by my requested tags.

I’ve picked my favorite characters to whump, and selected some bulletproof tags. Pre-canon, during canon, post-canon are all great, as are any non-DNWed ships involving any of my requested characters. I don’t have a Tav or Dark Urge of my own, but feel free to include yours! In general, I love self-loathing, characters trying to hide what’s happened but being forced to reveal it to the other party members, and noncon anywhere on the scale from very porny to very brutal/whumpy.

• 1: Gale (Baldur's Gate)


• 1: Halsin (Baldur's Gate)


• 1: Lae'zel (Baldur's Gate)


• 1: Rolan (Baldur's Gate)


• 1: Wyll Ravengard (Baldur's Gate Games)


• 1: Karlach (Baldur's Gate)

• extremely violent noncon


• forced bestiality


• Gang Rape


• Loved Ones Find Out About Past Rape and are Horrified


• Medical Care After Violent Rape


• Necrophilia - A fucks B back to life – slight preference for my requested character to be B here. Feel free to get really gross and corpsey with your descriptions here!


• Noncon - other characters find out about the rape


• Noncon - victim is convinced others will blame them for being raped

The Doomsday Books

Really what I want here is just more post-canon works that are either about estate maintenance/Rufus getting his manor and its tenants back up to shape, Rufus reconnecting with the D’Aumesty siblings (or Luke reconnecting with his mom) or both.

• Rufus d'Aumesty/Luke Doomsday (Doomsday Books)


• Rufus d'Aumesty & Berengaria d'Aumesty (Doomsday Books)


• Rufus d'Aumesty & Odo d'Aumesty (Doomsday Books)


• Rufus d'Aumesty & Fulk d'Aumesty (Doomsday Books)

Tags

• Getting to know formerly estranged family members – I really loved Rufus being charitable towards his D’Aumesty cousins and trying to find ways for them to be happy, despite all of the reasons he had to despise all of his relatives, and I’d love to see how those relationships might develop post-canon. Or feel free to do something with Luke & his mom as well!


• Slice of life running a country estate – listen all I want from life is cozy fanworks about fixing the damage past generations did to the estate and Rufus learning the ropes

Radiant Emperor

• 1: General Ouyang – I love this angry wet cat of a man and I just want to see more fanworks about him. Love his whole masochism thing and would very much enjoy seeing more of that (with platonic or sexual kink), and I would also love to see him survive the series and be forced to find a new reason to live now that not only his quest for revenge has ended, but it was meaningless all along. And if you want to have him grapple with his self-loathing and misogyny and have him become a better person on that front, that’s very welcome

Tags

• BDSM - Masochistic sub asks for more pain than they really want


• Character Doesn't Expect Tenderness But Gets It Anyway


• Character expected to die but didn't and now has no idea how to live anymore


• Character Survives Canon Death


• Difficult recovery after an injury – especially if that injury is the one that kills him in canon


• Revenge - character achieves revenge but finds it hollow; what next?

Downton Abbey – Thomas

Downton Abbey DNW: Thomas/Jimmy, Thomas and the Duke of Crowborough getting back together after their canon breakup (although the duke as a rapist post-their breakup is welcome)

• 1: Thomas Barrow (Downton Abbey) – I fell head over heels with Thomas when I watched Downton Abbey last year, and I want him to get fucked up, be happy, or both! Gen is very welcome (and I am especially fond of him interacting with Mrs. Hughes and Anna), any canon ships as well as shipping him with Courtenay, Andy, or an OC are great for consensual ships, and for noncon I like Philip or an OC (perhaps villagers, cops, a guest, or an AU where he works for a much rapier employer after leaving Downton)

Tags

• After rapists are done their dogs/other animals get a turn


• Character isn't used to being loved and shown tenderness/affection - This is one of my favorite things about any Thomas ship or friendship, how he's used to having to fend for himself and not being the most important person in anyone's life, and coming to the realization that this person really, truly cares about him


• Character's Sexual Trauma Revealed During Consensual Sex They Thought They Could Handle


• Consensual Sex Character Thought They Could Handle Causes Flashback to Past Rape– especially if his partner doesn't know about the past rape and Thomas doesn't want to explain why he's upset


• Difficult recovery after an injury – I’d especially like to see his hand injury affecting him more than we see in canon, but any canonical or noncanonical injury is great!


• Dub/noncon - Character surprised by seeing their rapist years after dub/non-con


• Dub/noncon - Character unable to hide evidence of their rape from others


• Medical Care After Violent Rape


• Noncon - victim is convinced others will blame them for being raped


• Rape Aftermath


• Time Travel - historic character travels to the present - All I want from life is ridiculous plots where characters time travel to the present and get to enjoy modern life. Thomas getting to experience modern gay life would be very fun, as would him trying to adapt hisskills to make a living in the 21st century. You can explain the time travel however you'd like (and feel free to cross over with literally any other canon to bring in time travel) or just not explain it at all. Modern OCs or crossover characters to serve as guides to the 21st century are also very welcome

Downton Abbey – Thomas/Courtenay

Everything above is still welcome in a Thomas/Edward Courtenay ship, but I have a few tags I’d like specifically for them,

• Thomas Barrow/Edward Courtenay (Downton Abbey)

Tags

• Difficult recovery after an injury – would especially love to see them recovering together, and as mentioned above I’d love it if Thomas’s hand injury affects him more than we see in canon


• Slice of life running a country estate – so what if Courtenay lives...and he hires Thomas as a valet...and they return to the Courtenay family estate and Courtenay figures out how to do things with his new disability...and Thomas adjusts to country life and the relationship...
