Dear Creator letter for BDSM Exchange

[colorcoded]

Hi there! My AO3 username is colorcoded

Hunchback of Notre Dame · Soul Calibur · Star Trek: Deep Space Nine

General notes

These prompts are just me throwing some ideas out there. If you already have your own idea that doesn't really match anything here, that's fine with me - go crazy! I'd really just like to see what you want to write/draw. I'm happy with any level of consent and any level of negotiation. Healthy BDSM, unhealthy BDSM, and non-con with BDSM overtones/elements are all good with me. I'm requesting fic and art for everything.

DNWs

• Watersports, scat, vore.
• Body modification.
• Injury or death from penetration/performing a sex act. Injury or death from impact/bloodplay, fighting, or other ways in which people might get injured/hurt is fine. Rough/painful sex or physical discomfort or bruising from penetration/sex acts is fine.
• Pregnancy - Impregnation being threatened/intended 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.

It's not a DNW, but I'm not particularly into that black leather/latex/vinyl look that BDSM can take on, so if you're undecided about what to have characters wearing, I'd prefer sticking with colors/materials the characters wear in canon (which IDK, might actually be black leather for some of these characters). If you DO have your own preference, though, just go with that -- that's fine with me.

Likes

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

BDSM-adjacent likes:

• Any character making another character beg (for anything). That automatically gets a 👍💯👌 from me.
• Kneeling. I honestly did not know I liked this and yet it keeps on showing up in my requests.
• 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.

General likes:

• 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.
• 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/activity: For the most part I don't really request specific acts because I'm happy with anything. Even the ones I put in my request here are just some random canon-inspired thoughts I'm throwing out there - far from an exhaustive list of things I'm interested in seeing. If you have a kink/act you like and want to focus on, forget my requests and just do that. Anything not in my DNWs is fair game.
• Sex from behind: Doggy style, bent over a desk, spitroasting, etc.
• Solo: I always enjoy reading about characters masturbating. All of my requests can be fulfilled with one character fantasizing about the situations prompted.

The Hunchback of Notre Dame (1996)

Claude Frollo tops Esmeralda
Esmeralda tops Claude Frollo



(Me picking out screencaps to use: "Should I use THIS cap, or this other cap that goes along with the line 'I was just imagining a rope around that beautiful neck.' Hmm...")

I belatedly am realizing how well BDSM works for the aesthetic of movie. Scarves, rope, chains, dungeons, kneeling, etc. I can easily see Frollo wanting to dominate Esmeralda, or wanting Esmeralda to dominate him, or perhaps a mix of both, and just not knowing what to do with such intrusive sexual impulses. My requests are movie-focused, but if you want to incorporate stuff from the books such as book!Frollo's very different characterization, I have read the book and can appreciate such things.

Obviously Frollo topping Esmeralda (non-/dubiously-consensually) works well for the movie - maybe he captures her and makes her submit to him, or has detailed fantasies of such things. However, if you want to go a consensual direction, I'm perfectly happy with that - perhaps something (maybe a bit AU) where Esmeralda and Frollo have a consensual arrangement where she doms him or he doms her? Maybe he gets a lot out of it while experiencing huge amounts of guilt about that fact?

Gratuitous religious(/sacrilegious) elements to the BDSM dynamic here and/or gratuitous use of red as a major color, a la the "Hellfire" sequence, would be very welcome!

Prompts:

• Bondage - With Luxurious Fabrics - Thinking of silk scarves here.
• Breathplay; Caning; Flogging; Impact Play; Kneeling; Punishment - Various other tags inspired by stuff from the movie. If you have your own idea not listed, though, please feel free to go with it.
• Dom Ashamed of Their Desires; Masochist embarrassed by getting turned on in inappropriate situations; Quiet/Polite Character is an Insatiably Horny Sadist Dom; Sadist Ashamed of their Desires; Sub Ashamed of Their Desires - Just some shame-related kinks that could work well for Frollo.
• AU - Character is a Professional Dom; Sub pays to be dommed - A possible arrangement between these two.
• Orgasm Delay/Denial - Sub only allowed to come when Dom permits - This is always nice?
• Scenario - Domming A Touch-Starved Sub - Frollo could be touch-starved and Esmeralda picks up on this? Or perhaps Frollo imprisons and isolates Esmeralda until she is in this state?
• Top telling sub how to masturbate for them - Also always hot.
• A work could use the framing device of Frollo's sexual fantasy of the things he'd like Esmeralda to do to him, or the things he'd like to do to her.
• Perhaps an AU where Frollo adopts Esmeralda instead of Quasimodo and raises her in the same disciplinarian way he raised Quasi? (Dang, why didn't I nominate Frollo/Quasi too?)

Soul Calibur

Isabella "Ivy" Valentine tops Any Character


"Your punishment will be quite severe!"

Despite the fact that Ivy's whole schtick is dominatrix-themed, she gets a lot of works dominating her. It'd be nice to have the opposite for a change, and honestly, I think she would be good at domming. I get the feeling she would be very professional, considerate, and yet utterly sadistic. I have some people I ship Ivy with - Zasalamel, Seong Mi-na, Taki, Sophitia, Patroklos, even Cervantes in a very antagonistic sort of way - but if you have a particular character or idea in mind (including OCs), go for it! I will love it.

Prompts:

• Chains; Corsetry; Flogging; Impact Play; Punishment; Weapons Kink - Sword held to throat; Whip/single tail - Various things I think are on-theme for Ivy. If you have your own idea not listed, though, please feel free to go with it.
• AU - Character is a Professional Dom - Even before I saw this tag, this was going to be one of my prompts. Feel free to go modern AU with it if you like, too. (I mean, you might not even need to go AU at all as it's plausible she could be a professional dom in the games, just would have to do it in between all her other activities involving trying to destroy Soul Edge I suppose!)
• Boot Worship/Licking; Dom wears heels to step on sub - I mean, when her Critical Edge literally ends with her stepping on her opponent's face with her heeled boots...
• Better Mental Health Through BDSM; Dom being genuinely affectionate & loving while punishing sub - I picked these because I think "domming you to make you feel better" works for Ivy? She has all the aesthetic of Scary Villain Lady but she's actually, like, helpful and principled.
• Dom tells sub "You're taking it so well for me" - Yeah! Praise kink! I feel like this mix of affectionate and condescending works well for Ivy.
• Fighting turns to unnegotiated kink - Maybe her opponent starts ~responding~ to her whipping or being immobilized by her whip, and Ivy picks up on that and has fun with it?
• Kneeling - (Ivy making someone else kneel, in case that wasn't clear.)
• Orgasm Delay/Denial - Sub only allowed to come when Dom permits - Always hot.
• Ivy defeats a foe in battle and decides to rub it in a little.

Vercci tops Voldo

Watch on YouTube

"Middle-aged kinky bastards" pairing #1. So most of the tags I picked out here are just random elements that fit well because... I mean, it's Voldo. He has a LOT going on in his various costume designs. I like how completely, all-consumingly loyal Voldo is to Vercci. They definitely have a 24/7 D/s vibe going on, which I sadly couldn't find a freeform for (maybe total power exchange?). Anyway, faithful servant, beloved master - what a great pair these two make!

Prompts:

• Blindfolds; Sensory Deprivation - Obviously by the main game timeline, Voldo is just totally blind. But it may be nice to play with the idea that, while Vercci was alive, he had sight but just would wear blindfolds a lot? Regardless, sensory deprivation and/or Voldo's experiences not being able to see would be fun to explore, in my opinion!
• Bondage; Chains - Voldo's very costuming has such creative subby elements to it. Would be nice to see bondage or chains incorporated into his look, or just a scenario where Voldo is tied up/in chains.
• Breathplay; Deepthroat Gag; Gags - I mean, because it's Voldo. Gotta get in those sexy gags he consistently wears, right?
• Cock Cages; Metal Cock Cages; Orgasm Delay/Denial - Sub only allowed to come when Dom permits - Again, it's Voldo. This is AFAICT canon. Orgasm control and controlling aspects of the sub's body in this way is just very sexy.
• Kneeling; Sub treated as object/furniture - Just some leftover kink tags I didn't want to give their own bullet point for. But yeah, may be nice to have some scenario where Voldo is just kneeling at Vercci's side, completely quiet and still.
• And here are various "relationship vibe" tags I picked out:
  • Dom being genuinely affectionate & loving while punishing sub - I just see Voldo as someone who genuinely loves pain and submission and Vercci being very affectionate doling it out to him as a reward.
  • Dom Who Is Honored To Have Powerful/Skilled Sub's Submission - A major element of Vercci/Voldo is that Vercci is the small unassuming merchant guy and Voldo is the tall deadly warrior, but Vercci is the dom and Voldo the sub. Anything that plays that up. Also works with praise kink, with Vercci being clearly proud of Voldo's martial accomplishments.
  • Experienced Dom Dresses Self as Sub & Dresses New Sub as Dom to Attend Play Party Together - I can see Vercci doing this. He strikes me as impish and possible to mistake as the sub. Would be interesting to see how Voldo feels about being dressed that way too.
  • Quiet/Polite Character is an Insatiably Horny Sadist Dom - Another thing capturing the way Vercci seems like an unassuming merchant but is hiding a kinky dom side.
  • Established D/s relationship - Because that's the vibe they have going on.
• I'd also be interested in something that goes into the backstory of how Vercci and Voldo found each other/entered the kinky relationship they have.
• Most of the prompts here assume a setting when Vercci is still alive. But you could certainly go with an older Voldo reminiscing, fantasizing, or even doing D/s stuff with Vercci's "ghost." ;)

Star Trek: Deep Space Nine

Odo/Quark
Odo tops Quark
Quark tops Odo

Canon Quark quote for inspiration: (to Odo) "Spare me from beings who think pain is pleasure. (pause) In small doses, perhaps..." (from S1 E18 "Dramatis Personae")

"Middle-aged kinky bastards" pairing #2. Obviously, I see Quark as the sub/bottom and Odo as the dom/top in their relationship, but I'm open to seeing something where they regularly switch or where they try out Quark domming Odo. Odo subbing is interesting to me because of the role reversal where he's very in-control and strong-willed in his regular life; it'd be interesting to see him being submissive behind closed doors. On the other hand... I just want to see Quark get dommed! Quark and Odo obviously have a lot of comedic elements to their relationship - I'd be tickled if that was incorporated into a work somehow, if that's something you're interested in.

I'm also happy if you want to swap either (or both) of them out with their mirror version - especially since Mirror Odo more straightforwardly exudes "dom" vibes!

(In case it's not clear, Odo's shapeshifting is fine/doesn't trip my body modification DNW.)

Prompts:

• Accidentally stuck in bondage; Smut - Roleplay - Kidnap; Smut - Roleplay - Romance Novel Clichés - Picked these mainly for the humor potential. For roleplay, I just think the two of them would have so much fun with either of these scenarios. They'd just be so silly and over-the-top about it. Also, Odo's shapeshifting makes him perfect for roleplay...
• Bondage - Honor Bondage - If Odo is the one bottoming, I assume he'd actually be immune to most forms of bondage, so I feel like honor bondage would work well as an alternative.
• Bondage - improvised bondage - Annnd I feel like Odo's shapeshifting makes him a one-man improvised bondage mechanic. Feel free to be creative - Odo tentacles? Odo using his shapeshifting to trick Quark and trap him in a compromising position? Weird bondage setups that blur the line between immobilization/teasing and actual sexual touch?
• Dom tells sub "You're taking it so well for me"; Edging - Bound and edged; Kneeling; Orgasm Delay/Denial - Sub only allowed to come when Dom permits - Just various things I find hot.
• Established D/s relationship; Experienced sub in scene with inexperienced dom; Scenario - Dom/Sub Roles In Scene Are Reflective Of Real-Life Power Dynamics; Scenario - Usual dom A subs to usual sub B for the first time - Just various things I think fit their dynamic well.
• Handcuffs; Smut - Fucked in handcuffs - Because it's them, lol. Either Odo fucks Quark in handcuffs, or just having Quark in handcuffs in a nonsexual context gets either or the both of them inordinately excited.
• Kink Discovery - Unexpectedly aroused by A obediently following B's nonsexual orders; Scenario - Discovering Someone's Voice Kink and Unnegotiated Use of it - I like the idea of these two starting off thinking they're just having a normal antagonistic interaction in public but then suddenly they're going, "oh no this is hot."
• Kink negotiation about adding BDSM elements to established relationship - I just like this because I think Quark would have a lot of things he'd like to try and Odo would be like, "You want me to do WHAT." Oh how I'd love to be a fly on the wall while they have that conversation. I'm interested in them having a frank discussion about what excites them - no smut needed.
• Striptease (Sub stripteases for Dom) - I was thinking Quark here for his layers and layers of clothing. Although how Changeling Odo does a striptease is also intrinsically interesting to me, not gonna lie...
• Bonus prompts that got kinda specific:
  • Accidental soulbond creates D/s dynamic - Was thinking maybe they accidentally link and that somehow makes them realize how into D/s stuff they both are.
  • Dubcon - Dom makes sub have sex with other people while they watch - In a holosuite maybe?
  • Remotely Controlled Sex Toys - I actually always like these types of scenarios, if you can make it work.
  • Scenario - Sub Enjoys Making Dom Jealous to Deserve Punishment - Well, Quark is kinda promiscuous.
• For any of these, it could be nice to have the framing device of a work be "this is Quark's fantasy of what he'd like Odo to do to him" if it's kind of hard to imagine it happening for real.

Brunt tops Quark
Quark tops Brunt



So the way I see Quark and Brunt's relationship is that it is laden with so much power struggle and the use of the various levers of society (money, institutional power, bribery, etc.) to try to dominate/one-up the other, especially on Brunt's part. So I picked a lot of freeforms related to money exchange and interesting power struggle/power play dynamics.

I'm undecided between dominant Brunt and submissive Brunt and think either/both work. On one hand, Brunt is often the one with more social power which he exploits without remorse, and his treatment of Quark has sadism and kinking on Quark's humiliation written all over it. On the other hand, when Quark gets physical with Brunt, Brunt looks like he's very into that too, and when Quark became Grand Nagus, Brunt took rather quickly to a submissive, fawning role (kneeling hand-kissing and pedicures - this is canon). Ah, the inherent homoeroticism of two guys living in a highly hierarchical society and so eager to conform to its norms of kiss-assery...

Prompts:

• Dom/sub - Possessive Behavior - Just matches their vibe I guess (Brunt's vibe).
• Dubcon - Dom makes sub have sex with other people while they watch; Smut - Dom has sub ride them; Sub is forced past agreed limits - Some other things that I could see Brunt doing in the dominant role.
• Kneeling; Orgasm Delay/Denial - Sub only allowed to come when Dom permits; Remotely Controlled Sex Toys; Striptease (Sub stripteases for Dom); Sub treated as object/furniture - No real ideas here. But I think they are sexy and can see either Quark or Brunt in the dom role for these ones.
• Scenario - character becomes top/dom when in heat - I feel like this is a plausible sci-fi biology mechanic for explaining why these two power struggle sexily sometimes. Allows for each of them to take the dominant role at different times, or struggle for that role.
• Scenario - Dom chains sub to throne - In 5x20 "Ferengi Love Songs," there's a throne that Brunt sits on while fantasizing about becoming Grand Nagus. Yeah...
• Scenario - Dom/Sub Roles In Scene Are Reflective Of Real-Life Power Dynamics; Scenario - This terrible man is now your sex slave - Just some more freeforms that get their general vibe.
• Sub pays to be dommed; Sugar daddy demands public display of submission from sugar baby; Sugar Daddy Dom; Sugar Daddy Sub; Wealthy Dom enjoys spoiling sub with material gifts - And my collection of money exchange/disparity freeforms. Brunt is definitely the sugar daddy/wealthy person here, but whether he uses that to dom or get dommed, I do not know.
• Switch fights: loser gets dommed - More power struggle stuff/opportunity for whoever is domming to change from situation to situation.
