skazkaI'm skazka @ AO3 and I manage to go overboard on my letters for every single exchange! Feel free to disregard every single bit of these prompts and likes if you're feeling constrained. I'll be thrilled with anything you write me.
Likes:
- hookups coming before feelings
- one-night stands and anonymous sex turned not-so-anonymous
- loving but deeply weird relationships
- pining (reciprocated or unreciprocated)
- ghosts, monsters, the supernatural
- loyalty kink -- big gestures, loyal doting, ride-or-die mutual loyalty, or gestures of loyalty being twisted and abused
- Pining and characters doing deeply strange things due to pining
- Complicated feelings -- characters who can't say or even think the truth about how they feel, tongue-tied lovers, pining, love/hate, enemies-to-lovers, enemies-to-friends-to-lovers, lovers-to-enemies-to-lovers-again, best friends who you can't stand, etc.
- Film noir tropes and AUs (hardboiled narration, doom and double-crosses, duplicitous seducers, gun-toting gunsels) or any other kind of genre fusion -- campy 80s slasher horror? Summer camp romp? 90s YA novel? Gothic horror?
- Fucked-up courtships -- mind games, fighting as foreplay, surveillance and obsessions from afar, villains in love with heroes and vice versa. This can be silly (think Kate Beaton's Nemesis comics) or more serious.
- Noncon and dubcon -- power plays, trying to bargain for advantages or escape worse consequences using sex, blackmail, trying to defuse a dangerous situation using sex, fights and captivity scenarios that take a bad turn, all kinds of villain-on-hero noncon.
- shady pasts, dark secrets,
- parental hangups (daddy issues! mommy issues! all-around issues!)
- secret meetings and trysts
- road trips and long journeys
- partners in crime, fuckups in love
- hurt/comfort and whump
- murder and major character death/undeath
I'm down for crossovers/fusions, AUs of all kinds (especially high-concept/fanciful/historical AUs), and unusual formats, whatever that may mean to you. For canons where requested characters canonically get together with other people other than the requested ships, feel free to include canon pairings, rearrange canon to circumvent those canonical pairings, or write characters taking a break/just as friends; in addition, I love infidelity, consensual open relationships/V-shaped polyamory, weird complex intimate bonds that don't quite overlap with each other, and whatever other relationship dynamics you can throw at me.
Kinks:
- size differences
- age differences
- partially-clothed or mostly-clothed sex
- oral sex, handjobs, frottage, intercrural
- breast worship
- rough sex
- characters who kink on violence (gunplay, face-slapping, beating the hell out of each other or getting beaten up, etc.)
- impotence/erectile dysfunction
- caning
- hatesex
- body hair
- casual fuckbuddies
- sex for comfort and solace
- funny goofy fail!sex, dramatic dysfunctional fail!sex
- historical sexual practices and meeting places,
- fancy clothes and dressing/undressing
- one-night stands and one-night stands that turn into something more
- noncon/dubcon
- sex work
- class issues in the bedroom
- older/bigger/more powerful characters getting topped by smaller, younger, or less powerful characters.
DNWs: Self-harm; eating disorders, child sexual abuse, unrequested incest. I'd rather not read explicit sex with characters under 16; references to past underage sex and to teenage sexuality are fine. Unrequested teacher/student pairings; high school AUs; characters overhearing one another masturbating or having sex; urban-fantasy werewolf pack and omegaverse tropes like heats and mates; RL crises and current events; apocalyptic/postapoc settings.

Strange Case of Dr. Jekyll & Mr. Hyde
Henry Jekyll/Edward Hyde
Note: My two big fandom-specific wonks here are that I'd prefer for Hyde's physical appearance to remain in line with the book's descriptions (small, young, knuckly, and inherently wrong somehow in a way that makes viewers profoundly uncomfortable -- does Jekyll see him that way?) rather than the visual shorthand of monstrousness that enters in with later adaptations, and I'd prefer no OC het love interests after the mold of later adaptations either, ex. a Bad Girl sex worker who's inevitably brutalized by Hyde and a virginal lady love for Jekyll. Feel free to include female OCs/liaisons and relationships with women or explore the canonical female characters, I'd just like to sidestep the conventional use of OFCs to prop up the personas' respective goodness/badness.
- Selfcest soulbond gone bad! I love the ambiguity of how much of a mind these two actually share (canon seems to suggest that Jekyll's effectively got two consciousnesses jostling for control of the same body by the end, both present at all times) but if you want to finesse that canonical connection in any way to be more conducive to ficcing, please feel free. I'm not picky about how you make it happen -- in a dream, in some kind of psychic space where the two can interact at the same time, one of them doing something to their own body knowing that the consciousness of the other is present and experiencing it, successful division into two physical bodies, an AU a la Kim Newman's "Further Developments in the Strange Case..." where Jekyll and Hyde were always two separate people and a pair of cross-class lovers who just love getting high as balls together -- but I'm dying to read it!
- I'm obsessed with the weird interpersonal dynamics in wealthy respectable hypocrite Jekyll putting off his secret shameful pleasures into the person of young ruffian Hyde, and I'd love anything where the very Victorian ethical snarls and implicit perversities in that get unpacked.
- What is Hyde doing when he's in the driver's seat, and how does he feel about Jekyll vicariously sharing the pleasure of it? More about the adventures of the world's worst sugar baby -- Jekyll supplies Hyde with an apartment to furnish as he pleases, his own suits of clothes, a bank account to draw from at will, all not too shabby by 19th century standards.
- What kind of messes is Jekyll stuck cleaning up after before Hyde's misbehavior gets to the point of attempted murder -- or after? What might Hyde do to both spite and gratify his counterpart, and vice-versa?
- These two have ample reasons to hate one another, but they also have a weird symbiotic relationship of gratification and protection -- unpack that a little bit, whether it's Jekyll's disgust and abhorrence (but maybe a little pity) for his base, beleaguered counterpart or Hyde's apparent aloofness toward Jekyll's daylight life running a little deeper. This pairing exists somewhere in the intersection of selfcest, incest, cross-class relations, and hella intense navelgazing -- I'd love anything that explores their complicated and deeply weird bond in terms that get more heated than Jekyll's official account.
- Jekyll succeeds in separating his baser impulses from his loftier ones and manifesting Hyde as an entirely separate physical entity in whose experiences he can share, but as things go downhill they're less and less capable of being physically separated from one another. Tl;dr, proximity soulbonds with your own evil double. (Though being soulbonded to Jekyll can be no great shakes for Hyde, either -- if you write Hyde POV, I will be eternally grateful.)
- Outside-perspective fic where someone does make the intuitive leap that if this Jekyll and his protege Hyde aren't father and son they might well be lovers -- what might Utterson or another one of Jekyll's loyal associates make of that? What about the sort of person Hyde associates with? If you have an epistolary hankering or a love of pastiche, I'd love to read some in-universe work (either contemporary late-19th-century or 20th/21st century retrospective writing) exploring an AU where that assumed relationship is drawn out through archival papers or newspaper accounts of some in-universe scandal.
- Hilariously terrible decadent aesthete curtainfic where Hyde goes about picking out the decor for his kept-boy apartment.
Smut-specific prompts: Jekyll vicariously enjoying being fucked by men through Hyde; internalized homophobia/general sexual repression; fin de siecle cruising spots and sex scandals; apparent age/size/class differences; guilty masturbation.
The Duellists (1977)
Gabriel Feraud/Armand D'Hubert
- From Conrad's "The Duel": A sub-commissary of the Intendence, an agreeable and cultivated bachelor in kerseymere breeches, Hessian boots, and a blue coat embroidered with silver lace, who affected to believe in the transmigration of souls, suggested that the two had met perhaps in some previous existence. The feud was in the forgotten past. It might have been something quite inconceivable in the present state of their being; but their souls remembered the animosity, and manifested an instinctive antagonism. So, uh, I'm just saying… AU where Feraud and D'Hubert are reincarnated soul-enemies after all. Write something about their past lives, ideally where their grievance is equally baffling. Or Feraud and D'Hubert in later lifetimes, still doomed to cross paths and piss each other off for no good reason.
- D'Hubert can't get rid of Feraud even after the latter's death. Feraud is a really annoying Hussar ghost.
- Feraud is robbed of the satisfaction of finally being the one to off D'Hubert (either by death in battle, permanent exile, freak happenstance, death by falling bust of Bonaparte, etc.) and resolving to bring D'Hubert back by any means necessary so he can finally kick his ass. Duels with the Devil? Napoleonic mad science? Magic?
- Feraud and D'Hubert having sex for the first time -- furious hatesex evolving out of a duel, huddling for warmth while freezing their mustaches off somewhere in Russia, feverish banging, sex in a dream.
- Feraud and D'Hubert in a threesome with the person of your choice, being weird about each other and making it deeply weird for the third person involved. (I love Laura and Feraud's mistress -- please don't write anything truly rotten happening to them, getting stuck between these two boneheads is punishment enough -- but feel free to slot in anybody or the OMC/OFC of your choice.)
- Alternate history where Napoleon regains power and it's Feraud using his newfound power as reward for his loyalty to save D'Hubert's skin from some tight spot. Does he kill him at last, or does he come to his own twisted version of D'Hubert's canonical conclusion -- or is there some other way for their long encounter to end?
- The historical remix of your choice! How would the interpersonal dynamic between Feraud (hardy, pugnacious, and of indisputably common birth) and D'Hubert (aristocratic and refined but still pretty ready to fuck shit up) play out in another milieu -- between samurai, dashing RAF pilots, 17th century Jesuit priests, 20th century stage actors?
Smut-specific prompts:
The Servant (1963)
Tony/Hugo Barrett
- I'd love any hint of sanity slippage for Tony -- Barrett out-and-out gaslighting him? Tony coming unhinged perfectly of his own accord? A bit of both? I'd love post-canon fic where their relationship has gone even further downward (what do the neighbors think?) and any type of rotten end, whether it's homicide or mutually-assured destruction or maybe worse, a happily-ever-after with lots of ever after, would make me really happy.
- Canon divergence where something sets their fucked-up relationship off on a drastically different track -- does Tony end up in South America, dragging Barrett behind him? Do they end up carrying on with Susan in the house? I'm intrigued by how deftly Susan is capable of putting down Barrett as her rival, and I'd love to see more sparring there.
- What is going on inside Barrett's mind? He transitions seamlessly from cold-hearted petty crook to obsequious housewife and I'd love to see more of their relationship from his POV. How does he understand the relationship between himself and Tony? What feeds into his pleasure at one-upping him?
- Screwed-up lovers' spats, physical altercations, subtle mind games, both of them trying to put one over on the other. This film uses the super-fraught space of the nicely managed household very well for the purposes of psychological fuckery, and anything exploring that space or what's beyond it would be great.
- Any look at one of the little perversions of domestic comforts that Barrett makes a habit out of plying Tony with -- fixing him a drink, soaking his feet(!), dressing him, undressing him, and in general making over their shared domestic life for his own ends. Alternately, turnabout where it's Tony serving (or servicing) Barrett, either willingly or under duress.
- The two of them crossing paths in another context -- the military, sex work, whatever strikes your fancy. I'm really into the film's 1960s milieu but I'm also crazy about historical AUs, so if you want to have a wallow in all those fun social factors and contemporary politics or bump the canon around in time feel free. I'd love an Edwardian or interwar AU (Wodehouse goes to hell!) or a Georgian riff, or any other era that seems primed for weird class issues.
Smut-specific prompts: oral sex as an act of service; internalized homophobia; drunk or otherwise-intoxicated sex; mutual dubcon; blackmail and fear of exposure as a turn-on.
Get Out (2017)
Chris Washington/Rod Williams
- Chris and Rod spending a weekend together either pre-canon or post-canon. Being dog dads, getting breakfast, fucking around, drinking a couple beers, going to meet Rod's parents -- I like the canonical suggestion that Rod's a little jealous of Chris' time and company, so feel free to write crazy friend-pining.
- Chris and Rod vs. other heavily allegorical movie monsters -- vampires, pod people, shapeshifting alien fuckups, Lovecraftian cults! Either literal supernatural/sci-fi threats or just an exploration of the wild world of metaphor. I really liked Us, and if you'd like to write a crossover with that film or a fusion with Chris and Rod battling their alternate selves and grappling with those crazy horror-movie metaphors, I would love it.
- ...alternately, a crossover with the Key & Peele sketch of your choosing.
- Chris and Rod falling in love over a cross-country road trip to rescue other victims of the Coagula procedure. Filthy car sex optional.
- Angsty fic where Chris needs to unpack all the shit that happened to him and Rod is there for him -- what would Chris do if someone tried to hurt Rod? What would Rod do if someone messed with Chris? For all the ass-kicking both of them do in canon, I don't get the sense that Chris (or Rod) are remotely comfortable with violence -- what would the aftermath be like if they had to fight and kill for one another?
- AU where Chris and Rod are true crime podcast hosts (in love) and no one tries to kidnap them and steal their bodies. Leverage Rod's obsession with Jeffrey Dahmer for the purposes of good! If you want to do any genre riffs or epistolary-type fic using the podcast format, I'd be crazy about that; feel free to parody specific genre conventions or just write these guys unraveling or exploring mysteries.
- AU where the events of canon take place and they're still true crime podcast hosts in love, using the medium to get their message out and disseminate the truth about the Armitage family.
Bonus porn prompts: desperate sex for comfort; lazy Sunday-morning fucking around; tipsy/stoned sex; long-distance sexting; cuddlefucking/spooning sex.
A Field In England (2013)
O'Neill/Whitehead
- Altered states of consciousness! mushroom-induced or otherwise, delve into Early Modern psychedelia and make things horny and weird. What might Whitehead do with O'Neill at his mercy, or vice versa?
- One or the other of them gets reluctantly (or triumphantly) enlisted into freaky folk horror of your choosing -- communion with ancient gods? visitations by legendary kings? human sacrifice?
- Early Modern scrying and astronomy -- Whitehead reads O'Neill's stars for him? O'Neill takes a moment to make a few readings while they're still hanging around an open field?
- AU where O'Neill enlists Whitehead into a mutiny against their master. What does O'Neill make of Whitehead's slightly pathetic loyalty, and what is Whitehead getting out of the study of magic? What does their master have over Whitehead? what goes into Whitehead's sense of loyalty, anyway, and how does O'Neill get under his skin? All the backstory drama there happens offscreen given the nature of the film, but I'd love a fic that explores all the internal politics of the world of alchemy as the war roils around them.
- AU where Whitehead is the one who defects from his master's employ and O'Neill is the one sent in pursuit. If you like the single-setting framing of the film, feel free to write an AU set against that backdrop, or turn these two loose across a wartorn country.
- Early Modern university AU with all the town-and-gown drama and bullshit crime this implies -- bonus points if you can make the stakes about as high as canon!
- Write all kinds of terrible nonconny things happening to Whitehead, with or without the influence of psychedelics -- non-sexual but nonconsensual mistreatment is also just fine, I love the canonical use of him as a human dowsing rod.
Bonus porn prompts: ritual sex magic; historical sexual vocabulary; size differences.
Crossover Fandom
(Strange Case Of Dr. Jekyll & Mr. Hyde + The Picture Of Dorian Gray)
- Dorian Gray/Edward Hyde
Hooking up in low establishments! Discussing the principles of interior design! Being wildly callous to the needs and well-being of others! I love these two as fundamentally opposite takes on the appeal of fin de siecle immorality, and it would be a treat to see them interact, either in some of the same shady dives or crossing paths in high society. Do they have more in common than Hyde (or his daytime counterpart in Jekyll) might expect, or do they end up at each other's throats?
- Hyde tries to steamroller Dorian for getting on his nerves, only to be intrigued and aroused when the whole "stomping people to death" thing doesn't take -- how does Dorian process being reminded of his own bewitched and bewitching strangeness, or bumping up against another Victorian gothic oddity? I'd especially love a take on this where Dorian is early on in his eventual downward arc, not the full-on jaded aesthete he'll later be but a little baby jaded aesthete in the making -- does Hyde's appreciation for the nicer and nastier things in life give Dorian pause, or excite him?
- Mutual blackmail! I'm really interested by all the nasty ins and outs of this era, and if you want to deal with that either seriously or as background flavor for some other encounter feel free. Does Dorian try to put together what's going on between respectable bachelor Jekyll and his protege Hyde, only to make hay of it in the bedroom? (If you want to bring Jekyll himself into play in a weird funky menage a trois, I'd be all for it, jsyk.)
- Hustling turns into Something More™ -- does Dorian try to wrap this little jerk around his little finger, or does Hyde try to appeal to someone whose physical charms are so different from his own? If you want to explore a few grotesque contrasts or write rotten Victorians growing to care for one another in their respective lousy ways, feel free.
- Drugged sex -- opium dens, private pleasures, mysterious ebullient solutions with unpredictable side effects.
- What the hell would happen if Hyde were the one to grow feelings in their affair? I'd love something with these two pet-sociopathing for one another in a mutual circlejerk of Victorian terribleness, as accomplices to murder, or alternately, butting heads as their majorly different approaches to the aesthetic side of immorality (or amorality?) set them on a collision course.
Smutty likes: Hyde topping Dorian in ways he knows would mortify his alter ego, just for the fuck of it; sex in opulent and inappropriate surroundings; object insertion with objets d'art (without going full Teleny-shaped, please!); knifeplay; gunplay; drugged/drunk sex.
- Basil Hallward/Henry Jekyll
- Jekyll wants a very particular portrait painted, Basil is just the man for the job. (Whether it's of Jekyll or Hyde -- or Utterson? -- is up to your discretion.) I can't imagine Jekyll's sensibilities are quite up to the aesthetic gold standard presented in Picture -- are there artistic disagreements, or unexpected pleasures? I confess that I love Basil's Wildean sensitivity as well as the sense of hunky bachelor hypocrisy in orbit around respectable Henry Jekyll, and any contrast between that and Basil's artistic sensibilities would thrill me.
- Unexpected vulnerability -- Basil strikes me as physically hardier than his intellectual sensitivity might suggest, but Jekyll has a little of his creator's delicate condition going on, so I'd love sickfic that hinges on frailty and exhaustion on either side, or weird Victorian "stress and shock leads to brain fever" whump.
- HAND KINK, that is all.
- Patronage with a horny twist -- does Jekyll take young Mr. Hallward on as a project, or does Basil seek out a companion who can bankroll his tastes and artistic endeavors in the manner to which he is accustomed?
- Something exploring age differences between two confirmed bachelors -- I love all kinds of age differences, but age differences between two grown men are especially up my alley. PoDG covers a pretty broad time span for Basil (relative to the compressed timeframe of Strange Case, anyway) and if you'd like to write him at any point along that I'd be interested in how stages of life look for these guys.
- Any other kind of gothic fuckery -- vampires, ghost stories, nefarious invasion narratives, decadence and downfall. If you'd like to write the Victorian equivalent of casefic with these two, I'd love to see them join forces to unravel some supernatural mystery, with Jekyll as the more materially-minded man of science and Basil as the heart as well as the eyes of the whole deal.
- If you'd like to explore Jekyll's identity issues (with or without horny results!) I'd love to see Basil's take on his older boyf's moral tumult and its weird results. Does he buy the supernatural-scientific explanation, or does he detect a more mundane double meaning? If you'd like to explore Basil's bad luck I'd love that too -- is Dorian the everpresent third party in their relationship? Is Basil on the rebound when they meet? Does Jekyll detect a kindred spirit?
Smutty likes: hand kink; breathplay; mutual masturbation; weird runaway sexual guilt; fully-clothed or mostly-clothed sex; sex in highly respectable semi-public places.
