Press Start Letter

Link to AO3: asymptotical

Thank you for writing for me! <3 I tried to give a variety of prompts but if you don't see a prompt you want to write and have an idea that you think I'll like, feel free to go for it!

Please don't feel obligated to try to match the personalities of player characters in the prompts. Getting something that matches my interpretation is great but getting a fun new one means that I have a reason to replay the games from a new perspective, so I am very sincerely fine with anything that doesn't hit a DNW.

I've been trying very hard to trim down the rambling/over-specification in my prompts, so if one is shorter than the others that doesn't mean I love it less it just means I was successfully able to wrestle it into less of a mess. <3

Since I DNWed custom names, the defaults for the ones requested here are Garrett Hawke, Mahanon Lavellan, Herah Adaar, and Maxwell Trevelyan (and if Hawke's looks are described I'd rather that be the in-game/trailer default).

• Bull trying to keep his distance emotionally while he's still with the Qunari.
• Trevelyan having issues figuring out if Bull is into him or not during the early game, or with the explicitly casual nature of their relationship after they first start sleeping together.

Since I DNWed custom names, the defaults are Scott Ryder or Sara Ryder. I don't care about matching the default looks though so feel free to go wild with that.

Kandros/M!Ryder

• Pretending not to flirt while flirting over Apex meetings.
• Ryder's friends being meddlers.
• Ryder overworking and generally stressing out about things and Kandros noticing and stepping in.
• The aftermath of Ryder having SAM kill him on the Archon's ship and Kandros getting caught up in the Nexus's reaction to that once it gets out (whether it's just among leadership or it leaks out more widely)
• Kandros trying to adjust to semi-civilian life.
• The way that Kandros got involved with the Initiative coming out
• The Angara misinterpreting something they say or do and assuming the two of them are already in a relationship.

Morgan & Alex

• Collaborating and working together back before everything started falling apart.
• Alex helping Morgan fake things and catch up between the loops.
• Before the game, Morgan trusting Alex less and less, and Alex frantically trying to get his "real" sibling back.
• Before the game, Morgan trying to confront Alex over what's going on in Pyschotronics.
• Before the game, Alex trying to figure out what Morgan is up to and not being sure if he can even predict them anymore because their personality is so different.
• Alex and Morgan communicating more during the actual events of the game, and how real Morgan's experience might have been different from the simulation.
• Alex trying to predict what Morgan would have done before their personality started to change and struggling to be both sides of a debate.

Star Wars: The Old Republic

Smut Likes Link

I've played past KOTET once on each side, but not with any of the classes here because my raiding mains got priority. I know there's definitely some fun stuff that I'm not going to be able to prompt here because I don't know how it goes in a romance, so if there's something from those chapters that you think will work really well with any of the themes of stuff here (or that I guessed wrong on), feel free to use it!

I know that there aren't any defaults for this but I'd prefer player character classes were called by titles, canon aliases, nicknames, things that companion calls them, ect if possible. (If not no worries!)


Andronikos/M!Sith Inquisitor

• Canon missions and the weird shit the SI gets up to.
• Loyalty sneaking up on Andronikos.
• Them ending up in a nebulous relationship where they're sort of in a something but haven't actually talked anything out.
• Andronikos getting dragged to Official Sith Events.
• Andronikos finding the SI early on in KOTFE (or being one of the people helping Lana rescue him initially).
• Andronikos trying to parse the whole Valkorion situation based on what he knows of other force ghosts that the SI has had attached to him.
• That five year gap where the SI is just gone and Andronikos doesn't know if they're really dead or if they've abandoned him (or if he abandoned them) or if they're somehow captured somewhere and then they just show back up.

M!Sith Warrior/Theron

• Enemies to allies to enemies to allies to faked enemies but only Theron knows that to allies and wherever lovers might fit into that whole confusing emotional timeline.
• Theron coming back to the Alliance after his fake betrayal.
• The temporary nature of their relationship during SOR or KOTET/KOTFE
• The two of them having different ideas of how serious their relationship is.
• Theron having five years of distance from their SOR relationship while for the Warrior it's still very recent.
• Canon divergence where someone else is the Outlander and they meet during KOTET stuff.
• Canon divergence where they meet up earlier than Manaan.
• Having to figure out what their new dynamic is once the Alliance is officially a thing that isn't going away anytime soon, as they both realize that they aren't going to be able to go back to their old roles after this.

Lana/F!Smuggler

• Lana having to deal with the Smuggler being a problem for the Empire between Yavin and Ziost
• Meeting before Manaan
• One of them getting injured while they're supposed to be enemies and the other turning up or meddling in the situation.
• The Smuggler flirting in inappropriate situations.
• Other people's reactions to a Sith Lord being this loyal to someone like the Smuggler.
• Lana trying to explain what makes the Smuggler so special during the five year gap.
• The Smuggler still having a ton of control over the underworld from the end of her storyline and Lana making use of that.

Smut Likes/Prompts

• I'm fairly vanilla so if it's really out there and not something mentioned here maybe I'm not the best recip, but even most of the stuff in my DNWs is more of a "gonna scrolllllll right past this part" type thing rather than a "gotta backspace out of the fic" type thing so don't stress too much about it!
• Smut for me is mostly about the leadup, the emotions, the skin contact, the conversations during, and how it affects their relationship.
• You can get a little rougher or dubconnyish if you want as long as both characters are really into it. Clear consent (spoken or unspoken) before genitals get directly skin-to-s involved is my biggest thing.
•  
• Likes/Prompts:
• One of them pulling back for a few moments during sex and admiring the other one.
• One of them deliberately taking aphrodisiacs (with everyone in the ship aware and consent given ahead of time) as a way to lose control a bit.
• One of them deliberately letting themselves get affected by sex pollen (in order to finish a mission or something) having negotiated ahead of time exactly how they would deal with it.
• Accidental sex pollen or heat incident where no sex happens (just a lot of h/c and doting)
• Accidental sex pollen or heat incident in an established relationship.
• Attempts at safe, sane and consensual... but can be poorly negotiated or just straight up a bad idea but they're into it.
• Trying a new kink and it being too much for one of them and they have to stop and do something different.
• Arguments leading to sex, continuing during sex, or interrupting sex.
• Attempts at dirty talk leading to emotional conversations or outbursts.
• Serious emotional conversations interrupting sex (or happening during ongoing sex)
• Character's guard going down enough to mention things during sex that they're too embarrassed to talk about once they aren't turned on.
• Sex in the aftermath of someone going through something really rough, either emotionally or physically, and the other person really gently taking care of them.
• Very very careful sex with an injured character.
• Bondage leading to body worship.
• H/C leading to makeouts or sex.
• Non-penetrative sex (especially intercrual)
• Gentle breathplay, biting, scratching, bondage, manhandling, one character pining another down, and other things along those lines.
•  
• Bottom Preferences for anal: For these pairings I vaguely prefer Trevelyan, Scott, the Sith Inquisitor, and Theron bottoming, but that's just a vague preference that I'm only even mentioning because I know some people get nervous without it being stated. I like switching and I love "person usually on bottom is topping this time" scenarios, so if your preferences are different from mine then feel free to go with what you find hotter! (If a pairing wasn't mentioned then I'm fine with eit
• The above preferences don't apply to any other sex act or to who is dominant emotionally/verbally.
•  
• Note on Fade To Blacks: If you aren't comfortable (or don't have time for) writing smut but feel like it belongs in the fic, I am totally fine with fade to blacks.

Do Not Wants

• Humiliation.
• Severe social ineptness.
• Planned public declarations of love (outbursts are fine).
• Cheating or suspicion of cheating that isn't immediately shot down.
• Unrequested poly.
• Open relationships.
• Unrequested gender/sexuality headcanons.
• Non-canon slavery.
• Non-canon permanent maiming/incapacitation.
• Graphic description of wounds.
• Graphic torture.
• Non-canon permanent major character death.
• Canon character death resulting from a forced either/or choice.
• Custom Names for Player Characters if default ones exist.
• Noncon, fear of Noncon, or focus on past Noncon.
• Unrequested Dubcon.
• Mentor/Mentee.
• Spanking
• Kissing after throwing up.
• Blowjobs after anal.
• Rimming.
• Fisting.
• Sounding.

• Dragon Age DNW
• Hawke or The Inquisitor taking a hard anti-mage stance.
• Leaving anyone behind in the Fade. (Brief references to Stroud dying or something are fine if it wouldn't make sense not to mention it, just not leaving Hawke or Alistair or references to the Inquisitor making the decision on who stays)
• Killing the Chargers

• Andromeda DNWs
• Focus on anything to do with Kadara, Exiled Colonists, Colonists turned Raiders, the Nexus Uprising, ect. This includes colonists who were exiled but went their own way, mentions of anything involving exile, and any nameless colonists-turned-raiderlike-minons. (EXCEPTION: Fixits or Jien-lived scenarios). It's okay to have the effects of it in there (eg: the Krogan Colony or Kandros being head of security), I'd just prefer to avoid directly dealing with that whole plotline as much as possible. It's just a personal dislike thing, so don't stress if you need to briefly reference something! I'm mainly trying to avoid fics with it as a major focus or things that would have to reference it repeatedly enough that I couldn't just ignore it.
• The non-Pathfinder twin resenting the Pathfinder twin.

• SWTOR DNWs
• Apprentices/Padawans having crushes on their masters
• Chaotic-evil mwhahaha type darksided Sith Inquisitor or Warrior (or Jaesa).
• Darksided Consular or the Consular taking the Dark path during their Act 1.
