Hades/Persephone

 

The original Death and the Maiden archetype!  I would love something lush and swooningly gothic here, with a dark and terrifying villain carrying off a tremblingly innocent maiden.  (Yes, I know the actual mythology is more complicated than that, just go with me here.)  Hades may love Persephone, but to him that means he will do anything to claim her even over her own objections.  Bodice ripping, unwanted pleasure, the maiden struggling to resist temptation or compliance- all that good Beauty and the Beast stuff can apply here!  I’m not looking for Persephone to suddenly be fine with everything at the end, but her finding some kind of pleasure and power in her position as queen of the underworld, even if she’s chained to that throne, is welcome.

 

Helen of Troy/Paris

 

The first version of this story I ever read had Paris outright abducting Helen (alongside a picture of him grabbing her that mysteriously intrigued me!) so that’s always stuck with me.  I think it would have been a very typically dickish godly move on Aphrodite’s part to set this up- “I said I would give her to you, I never said she would go willingly…”  Paris may be handsome and noble but he’s also incredibly entitled, so who cares if Helen said no if she counts as his prize?  Poor Helen probably feels some kind of attraction for him, but that doesn’t mean she wanted to leave her husband and start a war- but now a whole city (except maybe Hector) is complicit in keeping her captive because it’s become a matter of civic honor!

Original Female Adept(s)/Original Male Patron(s)

 

Whichever adept/patron combination you go with here, I would love to see a scene of maledom consensual non-consent.  The obvious houses to use here are Mandrake or Valerian, but I could also see a dom from Dahlia, a sub from Alyssum, or an expert roleplayer from Eglantine.  I love the intricacy of the kink in the books, so while this could be strictly porn, you can also bring in behind the scenes worldbuilding.  It would be nice if the patron and adept have a good relationship and think well of each other, but this can either be an established relationship or a first time with someone learning about their kink.  (It probably wouldn’t come up, but my fandom-specific DNW here is the canonical depiction of Jewish and Roma characters.  Although if you think you can do it more sensitively, feel free to try…)

Guy of Gisborne/Marian of Knighton

 

I’m stunned at how hard it is to find maledom with Guy on AO3, given that he was everyone’s bad boy crush back in the day!  Anyway, this scenario could make all that predatory back-and-forth with Marian finally go all the way, with a consummate forced marriage or just Guy pushing his affections on her.  Marian is always a fighter and that would probably hold true here as well.  Guy is probably not a sadist, but perhaps a little bit of brutality is what he needs for his purposes.  Robin can be alluded to, forced to watch (which is fun but don’t have him victim-blame Marian!) or barely mentioned.  I’m fine with Marian escaping or not at the end, and with Guy feeling guilty or fully justified.

David/Star

Dwayne/Star

David/Star/Dwayne

 

We don’t see how Star ended up with the gang in the movie, but I feel like it must have involved a rather dark story.  Was she tricked like Michael?  Was she outright abducted?  This could focus on her backstory and initial night with them, or something that happens once she’s already their captive.  This movie is what really sold me on the sex appeal of vampires, so an emphasis on the feeding aspect being unwillingly erotic would be lots of fun.  THe boys are brutal, but they’re also seducers.  David could be the aggressor here (he is the leader after all, and did seem possessive of her when she tried to ride with Michael), or Dwayne could (we don’t know much about him but he is very hot- he could be taking her without David’s permission or David could have given her to him), or of course both of them could go after her at once.

Vampires - feeding is extremely horny for both parties

 

I played so much of Soul Calibur III and IV in college!  (I haven’t played any of the games since then, but feel free to pull in any stuff from the later games that you want to.)  Ivy’s whip and accent are great a great ice-queen antihero model (and I personally find her covered up alternate outfits much prettier than her standard bathing suit things, if you want to describe outfits at all), and I’d like to see things get rough with one of her antagonists.  Raphael’s soul-vampirism is very hot, and I could see him picking his prettiest enemy to be his eternal bride.  Siegfried may normally be Ivy’s ally, but when his evil half takes over, he could become greedy for her- or they could have to act out a noncon scene to prove to other bad guys that he's fully fallen to the dark.  A fight that turns into noncon or a captivity sequence later would be great to read, and of course Ivy should be a very hard opponent to subdue or tame!

Becky Albright only appeared in one comic, yet I’ve been thinking about her and the pining Jonathan Crane ever since!  Nonconsent, dubious consent, or fully consensual but fucked-up sex would all make sense between them, depending on how you read her responses to him.  Whatever the level of consent, their sex should be dark and intense, exploring all sorts of fear play and dom-sub stuff.  Batman comics are notoriously wacky, so this is also a good fandom for you to play around with some goofier tags like alternate universes or magical plot devices that cause horny stuff to happen.  I picture Crane looking like Cillian Murphy in the Nolan movies, so do with that what you will.

Wedding Night

 

Historical settings for dark sex!  Each of these make great maledom fantasies, which can ben noncon or dubcon (except maybe for the slaver one.)  Historical detail is great, but don’t feel bound to it- this can be as historically accurate as a Hammer Horror movie if that’s your level of knowledge!  I think that all of these pairings have good potential for a full story if you’re up for that, not just PWP, but a scene is fine if that’s what you want to write.  I’d like to see swooning ladies get their bodices ripped in a truly gothic fashion (or hardboiled fashion for the mob boss scene, or urban fantasy fashion for the vampire scene!)  And as stories, they can have endings that are sad or happy from her point of view.
