paleomnesis | Dear IPQ Writer, (Reply)

I'm looking forward to whatever you create for me - I love all of these fandoms, both the new ones I requested and the previous ones I've had written for me in IPQs gone past! I am fine with any rating and level of consent.

Vampires (1998)

Jack Crow/Adam Guiteau (Vampires)

I've gotten a wonderful gift for this but I love this movie just as much as John Carpenter clearly loves vampire westerns, so I'd be thrilled with more! I would adore something with Jack and Adam and their fucked-up dynamic. You have Jack just utterly manhandling Adam all over the place and Adam going like “I feel like I should stop him, but my father figure/cardinal told me to help him out since his last priest died in a room full of sex workers,” and then at some point, Adam's shooting the cardinal with a shotgun before they defeat the big bad and ride off into the sunset together while making sex jokes. So there's a lot to explore there, which would be fantastic. Or maybe an AU – canon divergence where they swap roles? A bad ending where they lose and it's the apocalypse? Someone becomes a vampire in a movie called Vampires? There's a lot of possibilities.

DNWs: No animal harm, extreme underage, scat/watersports, no focus on unrequested pairings involving nominated characters (mentions of past canon relationships are fine), no permanent nominated character death (transformations are fine).

Prompts:

"You're taking it so well for me"

A's Love Language Is Killing B's Enemies And Dropping Them At B's Feet Like A Cat Gifting Dead Mice

Competence Kink - You're great at murder and that's hot

i can make him worse

Priest Kink

That Bitch Eating Crackers is My Best Friend

Just how do these two get along – Jack is an utter asshole and Adam, well, isn't. You can see by the end of the movie that Adam is starting to pick up the whole killing vampires and cracking jokes thing, but likewise, Jack's at least respecting him enough to trust him to watch his back. So how does their relationship progress? Does Adam end up saving Jack's life in a way that is both fucked up and deeply hot to Jack? Does Jack just go around kicking the shit out of anyone who looks at Adam the wrong way?

Age Gap - Older character knows they're soulmates but doesn't tell the younger leading to angst

Alternate Universe - Different First Meeting

Character was kidnapped as a child and raised by the enemy instead

Vampires - Forced Vampire Turning (To Save Life)

The AU space. I will never not love a good forced vampire turning (either Jack or Adam would work for both angsty and dark dubcon/noncon purposes), but I also kind of think it would be interesting if one of them was technically working for the enemy from the beginning. Jack being raised to kill hunters but finding his soul in a priest is classic romantic cheesiness and I'm all for it, but I could also see a scenario where Adam ends up being the one groomed to help out Valak before Jack gets him to switch sides through a judicious combination of violence and sex. Lots of it. And of course, soulmates are always fun, especially when only one of you knows it.

Characters Forced Into Mutual Non-con Make It As Cringey As Possible Out Of Spite

A is hit on by someone pushy; B steps in as A's fake significant other; fake to real pipeline

Locked in a coffin together

This House has a Personality and that Personality is Fucked Up

Undercover - Forced to Have Sex to Keep Cover

This is sort of my “any excuse to make them fuck” space. Maybe some random bad guys are like “ha, we're going to make you bang this priest,” and maybe it's messed-up and there's angst about it, or maybe Jack and Adam just sort of roll their eyes and go with it because it's not like they haven't been doing it all along. Also, Jack would be the kind of asshole to get all possessive of Adam, who's oblivious to any sort of romantic attention (or is he?). And you know what? Evil houses are awesome wingmen and deserve more credit for it.

"Thank Fuck You're Alive!" Emotions Turn Into Frantic Fucking

Hurt/Comfort - Character with injured hands requires assistance (which turns sexual)

Hurt/Comfort - Technically awful attempts at comfort are actually very comforting

Yes. You'd think that Jack would be fairly terrible at the comfort part of the equation, but then I remember he was pretty good about the first aid in the bathroom right so maybe he wouldn't be a complete disaster at it. And I love a good reunion where one person thinks the other person is definitely dead or dying (maybe they think they saw it, maybe a bad guy gloats about it) and then the music swells and they rush into each other's arms and that's not just a stake in their pockets.

on the run together

Pretending to Betray Someone to Save them

There's a lot of political shenanigans going on behind the scenes of the movie and I can't imagine the Vatican would just totally let bygones be bygones and ignore the whole murdering a cardinal thing. Perhaps Jack and Adam go on the run from both the monsters and the hunters, or maybe Adam lets Jack think he totally sold him out and there's angst until Jack realizes that Adam might be a better liar than he thought (and he's very proud of him for it).

Andor

Cassian Andor/Luthen Rael (Andor TV)

I'm all about the grizzled older mentor teaching his younger protégé the ropes while trying not to get to close because he knows he's just sending him out to die except damn it, why does he have to be so attractive and willing and--yes, Andor was good to me even if I had to wait to see Cassian show up again in Luthen's ship and be like "please use me as you see fit." However, I'm sort of torn. Part of me wants the grimness of it all, the tragedy and the backstory and maybe Luthen figuring out exactly how Cassian got radicalized without his direct involvement. Or possibly a failed mission or another tragedy they both witness and yes, give me all the angst you can throw at me (sex would be good too). But another part is like, admit it, you love the cheese so much and doesn't Luthen deserve to see Cassian undercover and have to awkwardly deal with how much he wants to just throw him down on a table?

DNWs: No animal harm, extreme underage, body fluids (blood is fine), focus on unrequested pairings involving nominated characters (mentions of past canon relationships are fine), permanent nominated character death (transformations are fine).

aita post

If I Must Solve A Dozen Geopolitical Problems Just To Have Sex With You Then I Will

So I know Andor is fairly on the realistic, darker side of things and I love that, but there are times when I want something lighter to counter balance it, like Cassian totally not murdering people for Luthen just to prove that he's really devoted to the rebellion right now while Kleya side eyes them the whole time. Or maybe Luthen gets a whole new batch of inspiration for winning the war because Cassian just can't think of this whole sex thing until the Empire is crushed. And of course, yes, Luthen, YTA, but I might be persuaded into an ESH.

Age Gap - Older character knows they're soulmates but doesn't tell the younger leading to angst

Alternate Universe - Game of Thrones

Alternate Universe - Hunger Games Setting

Alternate Universe - John Wick (Movies) Setting

Prostitution - Younger Prostitute Character A/Older Not-a-John Character B

Time Loop - A keeps failing to save B in each loop

I have a lot of AU thoughts for this, since canon is on that slow, inexorable pace towards tragic death. Speaking of which, hey, Hunger Games and Game of Thrones are both super into that and would mesh well! Luthen and Cinna definitely having thoughts on aesthetic choices! Cassian getting roped into Westeros plots! Also, yes, I have a type and it's well-dressed men and their murder proteges, so John Wick would be fun too. Plus, the age gap would be a fun thing to explore in different, just as angsty circumstances, whether it's soulmates that you can't accept or meeting your future asset who's selling goods of a different sort.

the careful aesthetic of a well-dressed dangerous man

Character A Picks Clothes out for B

i can make him worse

Praise Kink

Spy stuff, Part 1 – the story begins. Luthen clearly has the costuming thing down pat, so I'd love him showing Cassian the disguise ropes. Maybe, it starts out all yes, uniforms and vests with pockets and everything's grimly utilitarian and then Luthen pulls out a few interesting pieces and Cassian's world just exploded in color (though it clearly doesn't last, judging from Rogue One). Or you know, just training in general, Cassian being quite good at the job and Luthen realizing that a few well-placed words go a long way.

Character thinks rescue has a price tag; discovers it doesn't

Hurt/Comfort During A Case/Mission

Injured A shows Up on B's doorstep Saying "I didn't know where else to go"

Undercover - Forced to Have Sex to Keep Cover

Spy stuff, Part 2 – the angst intensifies. I'm all about Cassian getting injured here, maybe on a mission or something randomly goes wrong after one when it's least expected (Andor is all about that). Anyhow, Cassian is certain he's going to be left out in the cold, because prior experience has taught him that or he needs to get to Luthen and is expecting to be turned away, but no, surprisingly that's not what happens (and both of them are shocked at that). It would also be great to see a scenario where maybe Cassian's posing as Luthen's side piece or something and of course, a terrible evil bad guy requires them to sleep together to prove it. They get the job done, but oh no, now they're having unexpected feelings about it.

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

Spymaster using their resources to spy on the object of their affections

Two tired people taking quiet comfort in each other

Spy stuff, Part 3 – the end approaches. This is more geared towards later in their relationship, which I'm sure canon will completely make tragic and heartbreaking and I'm already preparing for Luthen's death (I hope Skarsgard gets a really good last monologue in). This is the calm before the storm – maybe Cassian and Luthen sleep together before Cassian sets out to meet his fate (I should note that I'm fine with Jyn/Cassian here just as long as it's not implied that Luthen was a terrible mistake or something to be regretted). And I really love the Rogue One ending, but I would definitely take something where Cassian survives somehow and deals with the aftermath of what just happened with Luthen's assistance.

House of the Dragon (TV)

Daemon Targaryen/Viserys Targaryen (HOTD)

Really, that scene in the throne room was finally what tipped me over into going, okay, I see the whole "Daemon would have been so much happier if his brother had just given him what he wanted and needed, namely a good fuck." Like I imagine teenage Daemon just basically stalking Viserys and being all, oh no, I just dropped my sword, I'd better bend down and pick it up and meanwhile, Viserys is just dreamily thinking about his future model of Valyria. So anything involving the two of them and their relationship would be great - Daemon gets to be Hand and the gossip mill explodes? Secret Omega reveal that would be disastrous to any family that doesn't thrive on incest? Vampires (I'm always good with those!)

DNWs: No animal harm, extreme underage, body fluids (blood is fine), focus on unrequested pairings involving nominated characters (mentions of past canon relationships are fine as are any permutations of Targaryens banging their relatives), permanent nominated character death (transformations are fine).

Prompts:

"We'll just have sex one time to get it out of our systems" ... but it makes the longing worse

Gangbang - Character A is Being Consensually Gangbanged; Character B Shows Up and Gets Possessive

Incest - Younger sibling convinces guilty older sibling to fuck them

Pining - Mutual pining that both characters figure out is requited but that's terrifying

something-made-them-do-it situation forces characters to confront long-repressed feelings

Strong action guy in denial about wanting to be fucked in the ass; gets fucking of his dreams

These are my “Daemon wants his brother to fuck him” tags and they're pretty much what they say. Maybe they both resist it until something causes them both to break, maybe only Viserys is and Daemon basically has to show him what he's missing, but either way, Viserys finally does it and things obviously are fine and good and no one has any issues about it and what it might mean for their relationship moving forward. Ha.

A/B/O - Violent Alpha Revealed to be Omega

Alternate Universe - Organized Crime

Alternate Universe – Vampires

AUs! There's of course the modern one, where Viserys is the head of some nebulous crime syndicate with the requisite troublemaker brother who keeps murdering people and causing trouble, forcing Viserys to punish him appropriately. Or there's vampires, because I will never not love an excuse for them? And look, I'm all about Daemon turning out to be an omega and deeply surprising everyone involved, perhaps even himself, though I'm torn whether he turns out to be one early enough that Viserys never marries anyone else because hey, this is the best solution to keep his brother in line, or whether he materializes late enough that there's so much more drama about the king's second marriage (Alicent secretly rejoices that she's off the hook).

Character Surprised By Their Own Deep Loyalty Feels; Object Of Loyalty Even More Surprised

Complicated relationships of love and loyalty and hurt and resentment

Loyalty kink: "my/your sword/gun/right hand"

Regrettably nobody knows you quite as well as your sibling

Just anything about Daemon and Viserys and their complex relationship would be really great. I love their dynamic of Daemon constantly testing his limits and pushing Viserys to reject him while also trying to keep at his side. I'm fascinated with a divergence where Daemon does get to be Viserys's Hand and how that would play out, especially given the politics of court. How would the succession play out and would Daemon back it (I should say that here, I'd be cool with Rhaenyra being involved in the whole relationship, because I think that would add a delicious complication, but just the two brothers works just as beautifully for me too).

Estranged Characters - Injured A shows Up on B's doorstep Saying "I didn't know where else to go"

Hanahaki Disease

Protectiveness - pulling political strings to protect another character

you're an unhinged disaster but you're MY unhinged disaster and no one's allowed to hurt you

What if Viserys was dying from a different disease – perhaps everyone thinks that it's over the death of his wife, or maybe it's something he's had from early on and it's only recently gotten worse? I can only imagine how Westeros would try to treat Hanahaki and I wince. I'd also be fine with Daemon getting hurt because Matt Smith suffers beautifully and it would be great to see Viserys trying to protect a brother that insists on getting himself into situations he can't control.

A's Love Language Is Killing B's Enemies And Dropping Them At B's Feet Like A Cat Gifting Dead Mice

Character A tilting character B's chin up with the tip of a sword

Outsider POV - Gossip correctly guesses at A/B’s secret relationship only to dismiss it as absurd

This is probably a more random grouping than the others, but oh well. Daemon is definitely the type of person who would literally drag in dead bodies and leave them propped around the throne room and proudly beam at his brother like see, I did a good thing (I mean, Vaemon could attest, if he still could speak). Also, yes to swords from either one (though Daemon kneeling and having his brother tilt his head up does things to me). Finally, it would be hilarious if let's say, Otto guessed that Viserys was fucking Daemon and everyone was like, what do you mean, casual whistling, nothing to see here until even Otto wasn't sure he was right.

Midnight Mass (TV)

Riley Flynn/Father Paul Hill (Midnight Mass)

Sadly, my favorite part only lasted a few brief moments in this series - when Riley gets turned into a vampire and Paul is the worst creator ever (even the Angel probably facepalmed at how quickly Riley peaced out of that one). But I'd love their dynamic, I love reluctant vampires, and I love deeply meaningful conversations that get derailed by a hot priest in jeans. I'm very much into canon divergence for this one - maybe Riley gets grounded before he can go wander off into the sun, or he does succeed, but surprise, our vampires are different cosmic horrors that play by a whole other set of rules. Or maybe they meet another way - Riley returns home after the cult has already been established, he never left in the first place, or Paul did some ministry to the needy and Riley was his first disciple.

Prompts:

Age Gap - Older character knows they're soulmates but doesn't tell the younger leading to angst

Alternate Universe - Different First Meeting

Dubious Consent Due To Identity Issues

Investigating a Lovecraftian Cult

Prostitution - Younger Prostitute Character A/Older Not-a-John Character B

Riley and Paul meeting a different way is always something I'm going to be into – I could see something where Riley ends up on the streets, making his living a different way, and Paul tracks him down (perhaps he's tipped off by someone or maybe he always meant to) and then things get very dubiously consensual in all the best ways. Or maybe the cult is less vampires, more eldritch, because that Angel is a cosmic horror nightmare and Riley has to learn this the hard way. And of course, soulmates, always a good, fun, angsty time.

Fix-it - Last-minute rescue for character who died in canon before they die

Time Loop - Character A dies and needs to be rescued in each time loop by Character B

On that divergent line, I would be thrilled with something that says “fuck it” to canon and keeps Riley alive. I appreciate that the show was trying to do a shocking, unexpected death, and boy howdy, did it succeed, but I'd also appreciate any kind of fix-it that kept him alive (in a manner of speaking). Maybe it's a time loop and Paul finds the right way to stop Riley from dying, maybe it's just one attempt that fails horribly because Riley is just as terrible at ending his new life as Paul is at asking people about whether or not they really want to it in the first place.

Body Horror - detailed description of transformation or its aftermath

Physical transformation into a monstrous and lovely being

Vampires - Forced Vampire Turning (To Save Life)

Vampires - Older Vampire Feeds Newborn Vampire

The show really glosses over what Riley went through and honestly, I'd love to see something that's even more prolonged and terrible. It's clear there's more than one kind of vampire in the series (the Angel is living, terrifying proof of that) and it would be gloriously horrible fun to have Riley realize that he's less like one of the other parishioners and are those wings? Oh God, they are!

Character A steps into a lowkey father/caretaker role to help character B process their daddy issues

Complicated relationships of love and loyalty and hurt and resentment

I am everything you hate but have you considered no one will ever understand you like I do

Religion - convoluted justifications for inappropriate desires

That Time of Night So Late It's Early Again (And the Liminal Conversations Had At This Hour)

One of the reasons I love these two is that they had some truly great conversations and you know, they should have had more. Give me all the emotionally fraught, deeply tangential back and forth you can – does Paul keep making inappropriate references? Does Riley keep stumbling into emotional minefields that he set in the first place? Maybe Paul plays the long game and the Angel has more self-control and Riley gets a gradual seduction into the vampire lifestyle instead of a crash course.

Hurt/Comfort - "Are you feeling any better?"

Noncon - Gentle noncon

Pining - Mutual pining that both characters figure out is requited but that's terrifying

Priest Kink

More miscellaneous tags that I still love by themselves or combined with anything else I've requested. Priest Kink feels to be a given and I can totally see Paul asking Riley if he's feeling any better after both getting his neck snapped and nearly dying in a blaze of fiery glory. I'm also fine with this relationship ranging from the consensual to the not – do they mentally beat themselves up over having these feelings about someone they shouldn't have or does Paul just kind of delude himself into thinking he's doing the right thing by fucking Riley while he's recovering because that poor boy just needs a guiding hand and he doesn't know what's best for him.

Deus Ex (Video Games)

Adam Jensen/David Sarif (Deus Ex)

I've gotten some amazing gifts for this pairing and I'm definitely in the mood for more! I love the two of them together – I'm very much into the boss/employee, quasi-paternal relationship they have going on, and when you mix it with “oh, yeah, and I turned you into the next evolution of humanity without your consent,” well, consider me sold. There's just so much deliciousness to unpack – the pride Sarif has in his greatest creation, the resentment Adam feels mixed with his dedication to Sarif (at least in HR), and the whole question of betrayal of trust that hangs over the two of them. Factor in cybernetic parts capable of some pretty awesome things (and increased stamina) and there's a recipe for some really hot, probably guilty sex.

Prompts:

"You're taking it so well for me"

Body Horror - detailed description of transformation or its aftermath

Body Worship as Possessiveness

Kinking on Cyborg/Robot/AI Partner's Mechanical Body Parts

Praise Kink

One of the things that really gets me about this pairing (and the first game) is that David is just so completely assured that he did the right thing in completely upending Adam's life. He's just so proud of his work and how beautiful Adam's become and I'd love something that focuses on that. I would be thrilled with something set during the prologue because that's some good stuff for both my body horror likes and my love of mad scientists who really kink on what they're making (seriously, inject that stuff straight into me because I'm all about the adoration of possessive creators contrasted with the utter self-loathing of said creations.)

Character thinks rescue has a price tag; discovers it doesn't

Estranged Characters - Injured A shows Up on B's doorstep Saying "I didn't know where else to go"

Stranded Together & Have To Rely On Each Other To Survive

Usually Powerful Character is Helpless Due to Drugs and at the Mercy of Someone They Don't Trust

This is a great fandom for hurt/comfort because Adam just gets beat up all over the place and I'm all for that. Anything dealing with Adam having to rely on David and being so deeply mistrustful of it because look at the last time he let David take care of his physical body would be great. Maybe Adam's the one that goes to David reluctantly because he has no choice since no one else knows his body as well, or maybe David's the one that picks him up when Adam's out of commission, but in any event, just something where Adam's constantly tensing himself for a betrayal that never comes would be wonderful.

Complicated relationships of love and loyalty and hurt and resentment

Loyalty kink: "my/your sword/gun/right hand"

Outsider POV - noticing that a character is showing blatant favoritism for another character

Protectiveness - pulling political strings to protect another character

Reconciliation - "I'm Tired of Hating You"

Stranded on a train with antagonists closing in

Oh hey look, it's more hurt/comfort, but this time it's on the emotional side. I love that mess of loyalty and betrayal where there's a long history of both and the two characters have to navigate through it all to help each other. Divergence could work here – maybe Adam never leaves David (feel free to handwave the reason he stays as much as you want) and everyone's keenly aware of just how complicated everything is. Canon would also be great with Adam maybe being forced into working with David and subconsciously falling into the same old patterns he used to, even as he knows that it leads down a path he can never go back to.

the careful aesthetic of a well-dressed dangerous man

Really, I think it's pretty clear that David is 100% TA in that way where the person posts it and you're like, “okay, so I don't you need to ask the internet this because it's so incredibly obvious that you are to the point that I think you're trolling, but now you're arguing in the comments and adding all these edits with tons of missing info that you didn't share before and oh dear lord, I think this is real.” Also, I appreciate the art of Deus Ex and I'd like to acknowledge that I appreciate the game's (and David's) commitment towards making sure that Adam is as hot as possible.

Mind Games as Show of Affection

Murder Couple tags! I enjoy people that are terrible for each other and know that they are and oh, look, there's more dead bodies piling up around them. I like the villain corrupting the hero, who was pretty corruptible to become with, all things considered, and I like it when oh, shit, so that person I was trying to turn evil is far better at it than me and now I think I might be both terrified and horny about that. And I love them looking good while doing all their evil deeds.

Alternate Universe - Regency era

Time Loop - Two characters stuck in a time loop slowly realizing they're not the only one

We're Soulmates; who cares about a little bit of murder or betrayal?

Random AUs! Time loops are always fun because it's a great way to get a long-term relationship in a short span of time, like microwaving your couple instead of baking them in the oven! Soulmates – here's an excuse to stick two people together and force them into a relationship they might otherwise avoid because now, they have no choice (I generally prefer this played more towards the oh, this is fucked-up side rather than the fluffy romantic one). And Regency is fun for repression and pining and people stalking around each in balls, staring intently from across the room with occasional dramatic rainstorm rescues or misunderstood gossip.

Character A has been obsessively stalking Character B all their life

Possessiveness - ruining character's other relationships so they don't have anyone else

Terrible threats delivered with gentle sincerity

Did I mention I like fucked-up dynamics? Because I do! I love all the possessiveness and obsession and terribly unhealthy relationships that yes, you would run away from screaming in real life, but it's fiction and thus I want one of them to be saying things like “you know, you will always be drawn back to me because in the end, I'm the only one that knows who you are.”

Injured A shows Up on B's doorstep Saying "I didn't know where else to go"

Physical transformation into a monstrous and lovely being

Rescue - Saved by unexpected person when they thought no one would come

Hurt/comfort and rescues! I love it when people show up like a sad wet puppy on someone's doorstep, especially one or both of them are are also horrible people that really shouldn't be together but come on, look at that face! I'm also about people getting rescued and being like, “but I thought you didn't care” and the person scoffs and says, “of course I don't,” but clearly they do because they've just left a trail of destruction in their wake and they're covered in blood. And yes, I love it when there's body horror involved and someone's getting transformed into something like an eldritch creature or a vampire, especially if it turns out that one half of the pairing is the one changing the other.

Any freeform I've requested for this ship in IPQ

Outsider POV: I don't understand this relationship but it weirdly works

I feel the latter is the motto for all my pairings and thus outsider POV is always fun, because honestly, half the time I don't understand why I ship them, they just somehow click something in my brain and I'm all in for them. Also, my list of freeform tags from previous exchanges is both comprehensive and often repeating, so if you see something in a past sign-up that inspires you, rest assured that I still adore the tags and ship and would love what you create for me!
