General notes

I'm requesting ART and FIC for everything. Treats are welcome. I'm interested in any level of consent. Any kinks not DNW'd are very welcome. Prompts and likes are very optional - if you had your own idea in mind when offering these ships and freeforms, please go with your heart! I'm also not particularly attached to the freeforms I selected either - consider them prompt ideas I'm tossing around, but feel free to focus on any tag in the tagset that doesn't center around one of my DNWs, or just on whatever "monsterfucking"/"monster romance" ideas you have in general without needing to hit any specific freeform. I love monsterfucking and it is very easy to make me happy with something featuring it, so please don't feel tied to any one freeform.

DNWs

Things I don't like:

• Watersports, scat, vore.
• Body modification in a non-monstrous context i.e. a significant body modification that doesn't also change a character from being a human to being a monster (or vice versa).
  Examples of things that are fine: Shapeshifters using their natural shapeshifting abilities (not significant body modification to me, as this is how their body naturally works); monster transformation; character cursed into another form; monstrous growths/appendages.
  Examples of DNWs: Amputation; feederism/weight gain; limb-stretching. Minor body modifications that don't significantly affect the form or function of the body such as piercings and tattoos, or which are easily reversible, are OK.
  (Sorry if this is not very well-defined. Please feel free to ask clarifying questions.)
• Erotic gore, injury from penetration, snuff. Some qualifications here: I've requested fandoms where characters fighting/dueling is normal. Severe injury/gore/death in that context is fine. But I do not like gore as a part of sex. Scenarios where a character is severely injured / distended / killed as a result of sex is a big DNW for me, and I'm a bit more sensitive to injuries from penetration specifically compared to other types of injuries incurred during sex. Some pain during sex is perfectly fine, but I don't like severe injury. I'm squeamish about bleeding from penetration, even - not an outright DNW but it's on a spectrum that has things I can't read/enjoy at the extreme end.
  Examples of things that are fine: using e.g. a knife to draw blood during sex; impact play or (mentally/physically) painful torture during sex that the character is likely to recover from; character being disabled/killed due to violence/losing a fight; painful/rough sex.
  Examples of DNWs: severe blood loss from or ripping apart of orifices due to penetration; character raped to death; likely-fatal injuries incurred while having sex (e.g. entrails spilling out).
• Non-canonical pregnancy - Impregnation being intended/threatened is fine, but I don't like it being confirmed the character is pregnant and/or children being had as a result of the sex.
• Character/ship bashing (mainly, saying how much you hate character/ship in author notes).

Likes

Things I basically always like even if not stated in the prompt:

Monster-related likes: (if you like anything here, I would love to see it, but these are optional!)

• TENTACLES. Bondage! Tentacles caressing/feeling someone up (in their sleep?). Penetration in all holes. Aphrodisiac-secreting tentacles...
• Characters that are inhuman/monstrous physically/anatomically or inhuman/monstrous psychologically/morally. (Or both!)
• Unusual anatomy of any kind. Non-human forms of having sex, including sex that doesn't register as sex to a human. Characters having to figure out how to have sex, or being creative. Disembodied sex.
• Beauty and the beast stories. Characters who think they are a monster incapable of being loved; other character loves them anyway. Star-crossed lovers/character of incompatible races fall in love and choose the harder road together. Two outcasts finally finding a kindred spirit or someone who understands them in the other. Monsters reluctant to show someone their true form (and the intimacy when they do).
  • Also, fairy tale elements of any kind/fairy tale fusions. Animal transformations, curses, talking animals, etc.
• Character losing control. E.g. losing sentience during a werewolf transformation, going berserk, demon possession, animal/feral instincts, being controlled/possessed by someone else, etc. Characters doing something bad and then being horrified when they come back to their senses. Rough/animalistic sex; heat/rut. Monster transformation where normally-sapient character loses grasp of human speech.
• Characters with their clothing being ripped off. Includes literal bodice ripping, but other clothing is just as good.
• Ritual sex. Sex with a monster or a god/spirit/demon as part of a ceremony.
• Bestiality, especially in a humiliating non-con way. Includes pseudobestiality e.g. sex with sapient creatures that feels like or is experienced as bestiality.
• First times - first time being with a monster of this type, not knowing what to expect, surprised/intrigued by anatomy, etc.
• Worldbuilding: Using the presence of monsters in a story/canon in order to explore non-human monster cultures, how monsters might experience the world differently from humans, the implications of living in a world where monsters exist, etc.

Smut likes:

• Sex scenes with feelings: Whether that's awkwardness (awkward first times), tenderness, relief, tension, neuroticism, despair, etc. I love reading it all.
• Magic / tech / superpowers used during sex: I have a lot of characters here that have magic or other special abilities. I love seeing the way that can be used creatively in sex scenes, either intentionally by the character or leaking out / struggling to be controlled due to the character's emotional state.
• Any character making another character beg (for anything).
• Being in heat / ruts / sex pollen making people horny, etc.
• Fucking machines / vibrators / remotely-controlled sex toys. They don't work for every canon, but I'm always happy to see them.
• I always love AUs of all kinds, so if you have an idea involving an AU, feel free to go for it.
• Any sex act: For the most part I don't really specify sex acts because I'm happy with anything. Whatever feels right for the characters. For example, non-penetrative sex as the main event is always good!
• Sex from behind: Doggy style, bent over a desk, spitroasting, etc.
• Take canon and make a ridiculous porny version of it.
• Consensual sex likes:

  • Solo: I always enjoy reading about characters masturbating. All of my pairings below can be fulfilled as one-sided fantasy or one character fantasizing about the situations prompted.
  • Pining.
  • Fluff.
  • Awkward situations and sex comedy.
• Noncon likes:

  • Humiliation / dirty talk / verbal humiliation: The best part of noncon for me is the humiliation. I basically always love the aggressor/rapist verbally humiliating the victim(s). Slut-shaming as part of that is OK!
  • Forced bestiality.
  • The aggressor being invisible or unknown. Related to this: being raped by fucking machines, object insertion, tentacles, or sex toys are also great. Basically, I love the victim being ashamed that they're getting off when they don't even know who/what is fucking them.
  • Unwilling arousal / victim initially hates it but begins to enjoy it halfway through the act / victim orgasms during rape and is ashamed. The victim begging and it's ambiguous whether they're begging for the person to stop or begging for more is great.
  • But if it's more in-character for the character to resist all the way through, that's great too. I also love defiant/unaroused victim.
  • If it works in the universe, public rape/humiliation. Or stealth public rape.
  • Or, the victim forced to look in the mirror / see what they look like being penetrated, or recordings being made.
• BDSM likes:

  • Any character making another character beg (for anything).
  • Kneeling.
  • Dirty talk; verbal humiliation; voice and/or praise kink. Slut-shaming in dirty talk is fine by me!
  • Humiliation more generally. Characters exposed in public, attention being drawn to their current state, degrading treatment, powerlessness/helplessness, characters ashamed of enjoying things, etc.
  • Bondage / immobilization. Pairs nicely with orgasm control and feelings of powerlessness, which I also like.
  • A character instructing another to masturbate or perform sex acts.
  • Real-life power dynamics on top of/relating to relationship dynamics. For example, a D/s dynamic mirroring an external power dynamic; an external power dynamic used to pressure someone into a D/s arrangement (whatever direction); relationship dynamics being the reverse of real-life dynamics.

Art likes:
Honestly, I like a LOT when it comes to art - my tastes are extremely broad. Especially when it comes to shippy art: for my pairings, I will appreciate ANY content. These two characters standing next to each other. Kissing. Nuzzling/curled up together. Dancing. Getting married. One giving a present to another. On a date. Etc. etc. Whatever idea you have. Here are just some random things I like if it helps:

• Stylized art - cartoony, limited color palettes including monochrome, art style pastiche or parody of a specific famous work (or meme), etc.
• Characters blushing / flustered / with flushed faces.
• Characters with a different look than what is normal in canon - sporting a different hairstyle, wearing a new outfit (of your design?), etc.

NSFW art likes:

• Steamed exhalation indicating panting. (Or you know, just steam in general. Hot springs anyone?!)
• Sound effects/speech bubbles indicating moaning or pounding. (あぁ～ん is such a good sound effect, if you know what I mean.)
• As mentioned, I love sex from behind ("Doggy Style" has been liberally requested...), but I think my favorite version of that in art is a character being penetrated from behind while their legs are spread open (being "displayed" toward the "viewer" of the art, as it were).
• Costume porn IN your porn (e.g. characters dressed up fancy and having sex in said fancy clothes) is also great. (So are naked bodies!)
• For consensual sex, something soft/blurry/soft-glowy/dreamy in vibe would be nice? Sex sitting in someone's lap/straddling them is also great.
• Sensual neck kisses during coitus.
• A character pinned to the bed by their wrists (or by hand-clasping), or wrists tied together above their head.

Airy/Alternis Dim
Airy/Ringabel
monster!Alternis Dim/Edea Lee

Airy ships: I've always really liked Airy's relationship with Alternis/Ringabel. I've always thought there is such good Airy-noncons-Alternis/Ringabel potential at the showdown at the Pillar of Light, and I also like Airy and Ringabel's bros relationship (and tsundere Airy) in the Pocketbook of R light novel tie-in. Whether you make it romantic (Airy has a crush on him?) or dark (lean into Airy in all her monstrousness!), I'd love it. Also, Airy in her fairy form is good for macro/micro stuff... and then there's a good size difference with her various monstrous caterpillar/butterfly forms as well! So yeah, lots of potential here!

Monster!Alternis/Edea: 'Tis my Bravely Default OTP. I think fairy tale fusions work really well for these two, and Alternis as a monster or creature of the night or under a curse would really work with his Dark Knight schtick and his self-loathing and his pining for someone who will never return his feelings, lol. Feel free to pick whatever monster you think would work for Alternis.

Final Fantasy VI

Ifrit/Shiva
Madeline/Maduin
Terra Branford/Ultros

Ifrit/Shiva: I've always liked these two for their visual contrast - both monster-y, but in different ways. I'd like to see any kind of backstory - how they met, their time in the Magitek Research Facility? A romantic/tender moment together. Using magic or temperature during sex? Two monsters keeping each other company.

Madeline/Maduin: Lovers from two different worlds! I'd love to see anything where these two have to negotiate culture/values clash or they have to try to figure out if it's possible to have sex or to conceive together (Madeline and Maduin having Terra together is an exception to my usual pregnancy DNW; also, feel free to make conception with espers weird). How did they fall in love? Some snapshot of their life together? First impressions?

Terra/Ultros: I mainly had nasty tentacle porn in mind for this request, but if you want to do something shippy/romantic, I'm all for it. It would be funny to see Ultros trying to get off on the right foot(/tentacle) with Terra post-canon or woo her or something like that. For tentacle ideas, Terra all wrapped up in his tentacles... 🤤 For more ideas, you may want to check out my past tentacle-themed request for this ship!

Final Fantasy X

[Art/Fic] [All archive warnings]

Any Aeon/Any Summoner
Ifrit/Shiva
Kimahri Ronso/Any

Aeon/Summoner: I feel like the bond between summoners and aeons creates a lot of interesting potential in aeon/summoner ships! Size differences, a wide variety of monsters to pick from, even the fact that aeons manifest from a human fayth also adds a fascinating dimension to play with if you want. I'm a big fan of ritual sex, so I'd love it if acquiring an aeon requires a sex ritual. Or maybe it's customary when you lose a battle to another summoner, their aeons have their way with you. Or maybe a summoner falls in love with one of their aeons / vice versa. Pick whichever aeon and whichever summoner you like. ❤️

Ifrit/Shiva: I ship these two in any game. As mentioned above, I like how these two are both monsters, although in different ways. I know you can only summon one at a time, but maybe they team up and fight together. Or maybe their fayth are entangled in some way. Just whatever you would like to do with these two, I'd love to see it!

Kimahri: Apparently, I'm interested in Kimahri paired with anyone. Any party member, any other Ronso, any character you can think of. I'm interested in how the big guy might be when in a relationship, or whatever headcanons you have about how Ronsos have sex, court, or show affection. Kimahri's intro always makes me go 👀💦. Also, any horn- or spear-related innuendos would be very much appreciated. :)

The Orville

[Art/Fic] [All archive warnings]

Isaac/Yaphit
Claire Finn/Isaac

Isaac: I really liked Claire and Isaac's relationship in this show and would like to see anything more that explores a relationship or sex with a robot. I also thought Yaphit had a fascinating relationship with Isaac, being the only person who can get inside and repair him sometimes, and also the two of them sharing a love interest. I'm not as much into Claire/Yaphit but I do like their platonic/one-sided-feelings relationship quite a lot. I don't mind if you incorporate Claire/Yaphit, but I'd prefer one of these two requested relationships to feature.

So yeah, some thoughts: Perhaps Claire wants to do something nice for Isaac. Maybe it involves Yaphit helping out? (Meanwhile, Isaac is just a bit puzzled why his pleasure matters.) Or Yaphit is doing a maintenance operation on Isaac and Isaac is surprised to experience it as erotic? I love in the show when Claire was kind of grappling with what exactly IS her relationship with Isaac and what she gets out of it and whether her relationship with Isaac can be considered a kind of love, and I'd love to see that. I like all kind of wacky AUs, so Isaac is a sexbot AU? Something involving the wires that come from Isaac's fingertips (or some other aspect of his anatomy) and/or Yaphit's tentacles?

Soul Calibur

[Art/Fic] [All archive warnings]

Aeon Calcos/Ares (Soul Calibur)
Any Female Character/Lizardmen (Soul Calibur)
Malfested Hong Yun-seong/Seong Mi-na (Soul Calibur)
Sophitia Alexandra/Hephaestus (Soul Calibur)

Aeon/Ares; Sophitia/Hephaestus: I am a really big fan of deity/worshipper pairings because of the inherent dubcon of it - like, on one hand, it's a great honor to be chosen by your god, but also, you can't really refuse... Gods also provide the opportunity to get really weird/creative/impossible/non-physical/etc. with the sex, which I also love! Also, a good opportunity for sex rituals! Anyway, I hope this inspires something. In order to get the god's powers, a sex ritual is required? Sex as a reward for a job well done, or a punishment for failure? Aeon can be either human or lizardman, whichever you want (two monsters for the price of one!).

Lizardmen: IDK, I am a person of simple, smutty tastes: I want to see some poor woman molested by lizardmen. Making use of their tongues and/or tails? If you involve Fygul Cestemus, I think there is also some good sex ritual potential here!

Yun-seong/Mi-na: I love feral behavior and darker versions of characters, and I feel like malfestation / Soul Edge possession would work really well for these two! Soul Edge making Yun-seong act on his feelings for Mi-na, and making the experience much more dangerous than it would normally be? Mi-na trying to bring him back/free him from Soul Edge's influence? There being lingering effects of malfestation that the two of them have to deal with? Feel free to feature/make use of Soul Edge's demonic body growths!

I dunno how well they work for the pairings I requested, but I have a tentacle-themed request for this fandom. I like tentacles, so if anything there inspires you, feel free to go with that instead of these requests.

Star Trek: Deep Space Nine

[Art/Fic] [All archive warnings]

Mirror Odo/Any
Mirror Odo/Mirror Quark
Mora Pol/Odo
Odo/Quark

Odo: Some Star Trek races don't feel far enough off from human to trigger my monsterfucking tendencies, but Changelings definitely pass that threshold! Basically: I think Odo should get more opportunities to use his shapeshifting than he got in the show, as a treat. To me. I'm interested in any kind of scenario where Odo might be creative with his shapeshifting - in an established relationship, in some feral or altered mental state, as Mirror Odo with a different personality/relationship to his shifting, etc. etc. I have a tentacle-themed request featuring Odo prominently, but of course Odo's potential extends far beyond tentacles! Shapeshifted as some giant beastie? Impersonating someone or identity issues? Creative, impossible sex? Changeling-specific forms of intimacy?

"The Alternate": Seeing Odo lose control of himself and turn into an angry goo monster is very 👀💦 for me. Even better that they didn't really show his monster form so you can be creative about it. Anything inspired by this would be great. Hunting down Mora as revenge? (I like Odo's daddy issues. Anything with Mora and Odo and Frankstein/Frankenstein's monster vibes would also be great. I have more thoughts about the ship potential of Mora/Odo in my Relationshipping letter.) Mora or Quark having to bring him back to himself?

Mirror Odo: As mentioned, Mirror Odo provides more opportunities for him to use his shapeshifting recreationally, and also to be more open to romance/sex than Odo is normally. I'm happy with whatever character you want to pair him with, just please keep Mirror Odo the focus or a major focus of the work! Also, a good opportunity for mirror universe worldbuilding and fleshing out his character.

I love fairy tale fusions, and Odo has great potential for that. A shapeshifter or animal that falls in love with a human (or "human")? Odo under a curse? A monster who lives in the shadow of society convinced no one will ever love him?

聖剣伝説３ | Seiken Densetsu 3 | Trials of Mana (Video Game)

[Art/Fic] [All archive warnings]

Cat Demon Belladonna/Any
Charlotte/Kevin
Dark Majesty/Any
Dragon Lord/Any
Gauser/Kevin's Mother
Leron/Shela

Charlotte/Kevin; Gauser/Kevin's Mother; Leron/Shela: My star-crossed lovers/cultural differences pairings. :) I would love to see anything that fleshes out human/elf/beastman culture; cultural and/or biological differences that make a romance legitimately challenging. Love developing across that gulf anyway. Weird headcanons about elf/beastman culture or biology. Anything featuring unwilling/unexpected Beastman transformation, feral behavior while transformed, etc. would be very welcome! I also love the fairy tale logic of human/elf relationships somehow cutting their lifespans shorter, which is mentioned but AFAICT not expanded on. How does that work? Kevin's mother is another big mystery - who was she/what did she look like? What kind of relationship did she and Gauser have?

Cat Demon Belladonna, Dark Majesty, Dragon Lord: Some charismatic and distinctly not human villains. :) Open to any pairings, including pairings with heroes and with other villains. Belladonna: Cat scratches... Her ability to brainwash people might also be interesting... Maybe with Riesz, Hawkeye or any other Nevarlan under her control, Dark Majesty, some other game villain rival, etc. Dark Majesty: Demon possession... Nonconning Elliot, or Riesz (while in Elliot's body?). Or having a party with his fellow Mavolians. Sex in his more monstrous Archdemon form? Dragon Lord: Mind control and possession are also very relevant here, as is the Dragon Lord's Mondoragon form. 👀 Please make use of that size difference and reptilian appendages! Lots of options for the other party: Duran, Angela, Crimson Wizard, Richard, Loki, etc.
