Dear Consent Issues '22 Author

[robberbaroness]

 

Thank you for offering one of my choice fandoms, and thank you to this year’s Consent Issues exchange for going super gothic with the fandoms and original works pairings! I’m open to both non and dubcon for most of these, and have tried to provide some prompts for both where I can.

General likes: Bondage, love interest forced to watch, heavy melodrama, 'I have you now my pretty' scenarios', abduction and captivity, forced kissing, manhandling, obsessive villains, hurt/comfort, dialogue-heavy foreplay, posessiveness, impact play, defiant victims, threats, praise, bodice rippers, revenge tragedies, gothic horror, fairy tales.

General dislikes: Comeplay, golden showers or scat, ugly aggressors, victims under 16, victim death, victim blaming, daddy kink, mindbreak, race-based humiliation.

Nobody ever needs to make another sexy Dracula movie again after this one, they’ll never top it! I watched Evie with the simultaneous thoughts “Get out of there!” and “Hell yeah, get it!” Can you make me feel both those things in a fic? In the period where she’s his captive bride, he could try very hard to persuade her that her new life will be an enjoyable one, and between the fear and any vampiric magic at work, Evie could find herself confused about what she wants, even though she opposes him. If you set it after the wedding, she could be playing nice in order to get his guard down and free the maids or destroy the castle. Either way, his seduction should be forceful and her response should be complex! (I'm fine with all the grossness of vampire society being snobby towards Evie in canon, but please don't go into race-based humiliation or anything.)

God/Pelor bless the newest Ravenloft manual for giving us a whole chart to roll on to find out what Tatyana thinks of her supernatural stalker! If this is the original Tatyana, set upon by her husband’s brother at his castle while a massacre takes place downstairs, it would almost certainly be noncon; if it’s one of her reincarnations, it could be more dubious, though having a near-godly vampire intent on claiming you has to be terrifying under even the best of circumstances. And if she’s an adventurer (PC class and race of your choice!) then she may have already been planning to fight him when he decided she was his true love! As a note, while I’m big on Ravenloft throughout the editions and novels, I haven’t been following general 5E metaplot very closely; I’ll enjoy references but won’t be a stickler for lore.

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, but she does canonically have some interest in Guy, so her attraction could complicate matters. 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.

I really thought this was where the movie was going! Obviously not, but I think adding more “new blood” in the form of a captive bride would have been a creepy but intriguing reason he invited his ex-girlfriend to the farm. Connie isn’t in quite as vulnerable a psychological state as Danni, but Ingemar might still believe she’ll ultimately come around. The Harga’s passive-aggressive seduction, drugging and brainwashing could come into play here, along with more aggressive captivity. For a more dubcon direction, Connie could be heavily under the sway of all the drugs and everyone’s displays of affection until things progress farther and faster than she’d planned; for a more noncon direction, she could be actively arguing and resisting while confined on the farm, Ingemar emphasizing all the while that this will work out for the best. I’d rather you not emphasize the implied racism of the cult, though that’s probably obvious from the pairing!

I’ve only read the first book, but I was extremely intrigued by this villain who so closely resembled Claire’s lost love even as he was being incredibly cruel- but for better or for worse, it didn’t end up playing with that much. What if it had? What if Jack, already such a psychologically fucked-up man, found that his obsession with Jamie had now grown into an obsession with his wife as well? What if the way she acted so familiar towards him and yet also so afraid proved infuriatingly seductive? This can happen any time in the first book, in addition to or instead of what he does to Jamie, instead of or a continuation of his attack on her when she’s trying to reach the stones, etc. I don’t want Jack to just be going after Claire to upset or as a proxy for Jamie, but feel free to explore the psychological twistiness or all this. If you want to play with the lines of consent, you can mess with Claire’s head, with any lingering feelings for her first husband coming out in unhappy ways when being manhandled by his doppleganger. I just want to see this nasty man be nasty to our heroine!

David xcons Star

My very first vampire crush and the girl in his power! I’d love to see the lurid circumstances behind Star coming to live with David and his gang. It could have been something like what happened to Michael, where she was enticed into the cave and tricked into drinking David’s blood while the boys chanted her name, followed by sex she initially agreed to which suddenly took a turn for the horrific when she realized she wasn’t going to be allowed to leave. She could have been outright kidnapped, a treat for the evening whom David decided he enjoyed enough to keep around. She could have been happy with everything sexual but upset when she found the blood had given her awful cravings. I love David’s mixture of seductive temptation and brash punk machismo, and I’d love to see him pushing around and taking possession of Star. The bad-trip cave scene after the blood drinking in the movie gives a great feeling of hallucinogenic eroticism, and I would love if you could capture some of that.

Dwayne xcons Star

Yeah, this one is because Dwayne is hot. So sue me. But I genuinely think there’s a lot of room to explore the secondary lost boys, and why not the quiet and mysterious one? What’s he thinking as he watches his leader toy with his beautiful prisoner? Maybe he’s jealous, and takes advantage of a time when David isn’t around, and Star would rather die than look to David for help, anyway. Maybe Star is kept as a group sex slave, and Dwayne is simply coming to take his turn (maybe he thinks that at least he’s not treating her as badly as some of the others, or maybe he’s the only one whose dark desires she’s really afraid of.) Or maybe she’s David’s girl, but he gives her to Dwayne one night as a reward- or as a punishment when Star was getting too defiant. Maybe he’s even the one who first found and lured her to the cave, before David asserted his leadership and took her for himself. Then again, maybe she is the one who comes on to him as an escape from vampiric sorrows, and finds the pleasure he offers a bit darker than she'd expected.

David and Dwayne xcon Star

…or maybe we can have it both ways! You could use the idea that Star belongs to the whole gang, or this could be something that more or less spontaneously happens as a result of a fight or a night of narcotic feeding gone out of control. Does Star prefer one to the other? Is the overwhelming sensation of both aggressors better or worse than just one? How do David and Dwayne interact here- as rivals, or as twisted friends? Is this something Star is used to, or something new and terrifying? Is it happening long into her captivity, or the very night she first learns she’s a captive?

David and/or Dwayne xcon Maria

My first ever fanfic involved Maria (I was so scared of writing an OC!) so I have a special place in my heart for her- and am thus requesting that bad stuff happens to her! The fact that we know so little about her means that you have a lot of freedom when it comes to making this whatever degree of xcon you want. Is she annoyed by regularly getting sexually harassed by the gang at work until that escalates to an outright attack, or does she enjoy flirting with them and go for a happy if risky bike ride with one of them? Everything I’ve said about the sexy confusion that might come from the blood wine holds true here- or are they trying to turn her at all? Is this an attack or recruitment? I love the opening with the boys prowling the boardwalk and creeping on girls, so let’s see what happens when that gets a little more intense!

Gothic xcon scenarios! The exchange really seems tailored to my interests this year! To assuage any worries, if you want to write historical settings, I will be way more excited about the vibe than concerned about accuracy.

Pirate Captain xcons Aristocratic Prisoner (M/F)

The bodice ripper classic! She’s in his power, he has her at his mercy, and does he intend to keep her for a pirate’s bride or sell her to the highest bidder? Does every fiber of her being hate him, or is there some part of her excited or intrigued by her unexpected adventure? Those answers are up to you!

Vampire Master of Castle xcons Gothic Heroine (M/F)

This would definitely make sense as dubcon, in the great tradition of dark Byronic antiheroes and old school bodice rippers, but it should still be terrifying for our poor heroine! A governess, a poor relation- you can come up with any backstory you want, so long as it puts her in his power. How dark and gothic and depraved can you get? I’d love to find out!

Vampire xcons Vampire Hunter (M/F)

Incubus xcons Monster Hunter (M/F)

Both of these offer some very interesting enemy attraction setups, albeit with one monster approaching sex more literally and the other more metaphorically. I’m picturing something like an ahistorical gothic horror movie here (exploitation horror, I guess!) but you could also do a more modern urban fantasy erotica kind of thing. I like the thought of our warrior heroine overpowered but never stopping fighting, even at the hands of her very powerful and very sexy nemesis. There could be some dubcon in here if she got captured intentionally as a trap! It can end with him turning her or her slaying him, as you wish.
