Darkest Night 2018 Letter

Dearest Dark Lord,

Thank you for writing for me! I am sure whatever you make for me, I will love it dearly and I am so excited to see it already! I tend to write long letters because -- well, let's be real, I can talk just about anyone's head off. Some prompts may be longer than others, but I assure you, it is merely because some of them I have trouble dictating anything more than "YES THIS PLZ". I am just as happy getting a slice of life fic as I am a massive fic of epic proportions, so please don't feel you have to go out of your way to make something large to fit a prompt. Thank you for writing for me! Please feel free to use my general likes as something you can base your fic/art on, and ignore my prompts entirely if they're not doing it for you. I love everything from G-rated gen fic to E-rated full on smut-bangs, so feel free not to hold back on my account. My DNW are few. If you are wondering if you can twist prompts/take them in different directions/etc. the answer is always yes. Whether it be something sad, scary, fun, or just plain weird, as long as it avoids my DNW I am always down to play. :)

Star Wars Prequel Trilogy

Group: Padmé Amidala/Anakin Skywalker | Darth Vader (PT)

I have always loved these two and crave a lot darker fiction for them in line with what we get in ROTS. The amount of time they spend together in it is so little and Padmé content, in particular, is so slight. I'd love to see something exploring the tragedy of this romance as their hidden romance is slowly more and more exposed, and their hold on reality slips: Padmé's republic falls, Anakin's PTSD and fear lead him down the road of Sithliness. How they feel about, how it affects them, especially once the reveal HAS happened - that, I am all here for. I'm also full into an exploration of Vader's body dysphoria/horror at being effectively chained to being a machine, to being "unnatural", cursed, a monstrosity/etc, so feel free to throw that in there.

I'd also love to see what might have happened to them had Padmé lived. I've always imagined it would be that Vader would hunt her without rest, and it would be all too easy to fall back into their old feelings for one another, even if those feelings were complicated with hate. I see them as being unable to come back together, but still caring for one another, and both drowning in the problem of what to do with the other. I would love to see them as in hate as much as in love and both their hearts just absolutely broken.

Honestly, I want any dark, explicit explorations of What Went Wrong/What is Going Wrong here between them.

Angry Sex: I would love to see something reflecting their differing morals leading to angry (but passionate af) make-out sex. Maybe Padmé finds out Anakin treated a prisoner too rough? Maybe Anakin is frustrated by Padmé's constant devotion to the republic? Either way, I'd love to see one starting an argument during the time they were together only for them to fall into really, really great-if-angry sex. Post-Vader, I'd also really be into seeing these two fucking even as Padmé hates everything he's become.

Asphyxiation/ Autoerotic Asphyxiation: During the AOTC/ROTS area, I would love to see something where Padmé discovers that Anakin enjoys having his air cut off - or vice versa, maybe Padmé enjoys having hers cut off as a way to take control? I'd love to see them doing this even if the risks are high, and perhaps something goes a little wrong. Post-ROTS, I would really like to see something AU where Padmé survives and the two deal with the fallout of Anakin's choking her in ROTS; does he try again? Or does he never touch her like that again, too afraid of losing her — even if she longs for the sweet release (of sex/death/etc).

Burning/Torture by Fire: I would love to see something post-Mustafar where Padmé manages to trap / finds out that Vader has been trapped by Rebellion forces. Does she torture him, and if so, how does he feel about that? If she finds out about his torture, does she feel like she has to stop it, no matter how badly he's betrayed her? Or does she participate/watch from a distance? Is she there for him once its over? If so, is he glad or does he resent it? 

Character lives but things still go badly or worse: I would love to see Padmé lives! AU where things don't go as well as they could by the Rebellion or her. Is she constantly on the run from Vader with her kids, trying desperately to make sure that they have a future that doesn't involve Sith, Jedi, or anything else? Or is she constantly on the run without them, knowing that her children will never have a relationship with her or Anakin because of the choices he made? Or does she surrender to him, staying with him in the Empire even at the cost of her very soul?

Character wanted it but not like this: I would love to see something post ROTS where either Anakin won the fight or managed later, somehow, to find her and bring her back to the Empire with him. Padmé's now the supreme ruler of the entire universe, with a husband who adores her, with the problem that this is nothing she ever wanted. What is their intimate life like, when Anakin has committed such a gross violation of her trust? Especially given he can probably read her thoughts if she wants to (unless she is too strong willed for that, but I imagine there would be paranoia about it.) 

Deliberately Induced Stockholm Syndrome: Anakin finds Padmé on the run with the Rebellion and captures her, hoping to one day bring her back to him. How does he try to bring her to his side? What does he hope to accomplish? Does it matter to him if she loves him due to stockholm syndrome or does he just want her back, no matter what the cost?

Dependent on Enemy for Survival: Pre-ROTS, I would love to see these two captured by Separatists and both dependent on the enemy for survival — with the added twist of being careful not to reveal their relationship, knowing it could potentially hurt their chances of getting one of them out alive. In a post-ROTS AU, I would love to see these two somehow trapped together for the first time after being on the opposite side of the war for the longest time. Perhaps trapped together on the Ice Caves on Hoth in ESB? Or Padmé winds up going to Scarif and is on the Tantive IV during EpIV, being recaptured by her long-estranged husband?

Feelings of Disassociation with Prosthetic limb in Intercourse: There's a line early on in the Thrawn:Alliance novel about how Anakin always takes Padmé's hand with his real hand if he can help it, never the artificial one. I cannot help but wonder how this affects their sex life? Does it bother Padmé that one of his hands is fake? Does it bother him?

Painful Sex to Please Partner: I would love to see something where Padmé wants painful, angry sex as a way to have stress release, but this messes with Anakin's head, given that that sort of sexual situation is something he would see most commonly in the slave quarters on Tatooine. In a post ROTS AU where Padmé lives, I'd like the situation flipped from emotional issues to physical ones, where all sex, to Anakin/Vader, is painful, but he still desires to have a sexual relationship with his wife.

the road to hell is paved with good intentions: I would love to see what might have happened had Padmé managed to talk an unstable Anakin into running away with her in ROTS — especially with Obi-Wan still hidden on her ship! How does she lure him back from the edge? Is Anakin able to control himself, or would his dark side powers win out? What sort of morals might Padmé have to let slide to keep Anakin by her side?

Star Wars Original Trilogy

Group: Anakin Skywalker | Darth Vader/Leia Organa (OT)

The Skywalker Family is so screwed up in so many ways that any sort of incest pairing is just kind of fascinating to me. For Leia/Vader, I'm a bit fascinated by the power imbalance. Leia is so much like her mother in looks, and so much like her father in temperament that I think he would find her jarringly familiar and yet incredibly alien at the same time. I'm aware this is incest and I'm fine with it, whether you want them to know one another is family or not; I don't kink on the incest part so much as the character dynamic between them, if that makes sense. I recognize this isn't really a happy ever after pairing so feel free to drown me in the angst. I am also fine, given the subject matter, of it being an unrequited feeling from either side. Basically, go dark. ;)

What I'd love to see is an examination of what might happen when one of these two held the life of the other in their hands. Perhaps Vader finds Leia is a Force-sensitive on the Death Star on Bespin? Or Vader learned of Leia in ROTJ but hadn't saved Luke? Would Vader have felt any sort of desire to take Leia as an apprentice? Would the Emperor turn his attention, full-blast, to keeping the remaining skywalker heir in their sights? Would Vader be able to spare her from that, and would he want to? I want these two to come from a place of deep hatred for one another, yet still struggling to understand the other, the ways in which they are similar (many) and opposed (politically/morally - big time). I'm also full into an exploration of Vader's body dysphoria/horror at being effectively chained to being a machine, to being "unnatural", cursed, a monstrosity/etc, so feel free to throw that in there.

Forced Pregnancy: I like the idea that Palpatine would force Anakin to remarry in hopes of getting a less-broken but still powerful apprentice; maybe he turns his nefarious schemes to eugenics and forces Vader to impregnate Leia when she is held captive? How would Vader/Leia approach this? Would they do as he asked — or use this as a temporary setback where the two later use the child in a bit to take over the Imperial throne? Or has Leia been impregnated from someone else, and Vader is forced to pretend it is his child to spare her and/or the child?

Parent/Child Incest: I would love the unknowing version of this, where Vader is disturbed by the fact that Leia reminds him so jarringly of Padmé. Would it make him angry? Sad? Mournful? What sort of ways might he lash out at her because of that sexual attraction? Would she feel anything toward him, were they perhaps not so diametrically opposed? Does he know? Does she? What sort of power struggles might they have?

Manipulated into incest by third party/ Forced to have sex for entertainment of third party: Again, I would love to see Palpatine try to force these two together for his sheer amusement, especially if the fic is from his PoV. Does he know they are father and daughter? Does he relish forcing the two enemies to come together? How far is he willing to twist things to torture both Vader and Leia?

Dependent on Enemy for Survival: I would love to see something dealing with Leia and Vader in Bespin; how does he treat her? How does she handle being held at his will? Or what if he is taken captive, and she winds up supervising his care? How do they manage to help their enemy survive and what sort of emotions might that bring bubbling to the surface?

Feelings of Disassociation with Prosthetic limb in Intercourse: There's a line early on in the Thrawn:Alliance novel about how Anakin always takes Padmé's hand with his real hand if he can help it, never the artificial one. I cannot help but wonder how Vader's prosthetics would make him feel during sex post-Padmé — does he view his hand as not part of himself? Does his feeling in regard to the one arm he has from the clone wars change with Leia compared to what it was with Padmé - is that his "natural" hand now since that is his oldest arm and the only one Padmé ever held? How much sensation does he have in his arms? Anything?

Grooming (Preparing/Training): Sith training! I would love to see one where Vader made her an apprentice early - what are Sith Training techniques? How does it differ from Jedi training? What sort of emotional/physical manipulation might there be in Sith training? With the mental connection between them, how do they not realize they are father and daughter? The only thing I don't want to see here is any kind of sexual relationship that started when Leia was too young — please let them hold off on that until she is an adult (but after that, oh yeah, go for it). Otherwise, I'm up for all kinds of torture to make Leia stronger.

Burning/Torture by Fire: I would love to see Leia holding Vader's life in her hands. Maybe he's captured by the rebellion, and Leia decides to return the "kindness" that Vader showed her on the Death Star? Or Leia is burned and Vader is, surprisingly, coming to her rescue?  In either scenario, do they still hate the other as much after the torture/rescue? Does Leia fall into the dark side and wind up sleeping with Vader? Or does Vader pity her and slowly his feelings start to change to something beyond that? 

Mercy Killing: I would love to see Leia opting to kill him to protect Luke — does she know their relationship? Does she care? Does she see this as a mercy for Vader, as well, or is she only concerned about Luke? Is he glad, in the end, that it's her, and not Palpatine? Or, going the other way: Vader killing Leia to save her from Palps. How would he rationalize it? Would Palpatine know? How would Luke react, if he is still alive? How might feelings of hatred/love between them complicate this act of merciful cruelty?

the road to hell is paved with good intentions: Vader recruiting Leia with the hope of changing the empire, and Leia slowly but gradually becoming the eldritch empress and wife that Vader has always craved. How does she slowly come to share more and more of his viewpoint? How does the Empire change gradually? Is he happy in the end to see her as the empress of his glorious empire, or sad that she has followed him down into hell, and he is far too late to change their paths? 

Star Wars Sequel Trilogy

Group: Leia Organa/ Luke Skywalker (ST)

Unlike with Leia and Vader, I'd very much like Leia and Luke knowing they are siblings here, just to take the knife and guide it even deeper into my heart. I'd love to see what happens to them post-ROTJ: they're both mind-fucked a bit by the unfortunate relationship, and I can see them trying to pretend their attraction to one another was a minor blip, but perhaps ultimately being unable to totally resist it, especially once things really start tumbling out of their control: Leia's parentage is revealed, Ben turning, Luke's life's work being curb-stomped, Leia going back to the Resistance, Han leaving - I want really heavy hurt/comfort for these two, heavy on the hurt side.

I'd love to see an exploration of how they feel about it, knowing who they are, what they are. How does it affect the world around them - Does Han know, does Ben? (Is Luke Ben's biological father?) Or is it something they come back to when the rest of the universe has abandoned them — and then, of course, what happens to the twins when Luke leaves? How do they handle that final split, when Luke closes himself off from the force entirely? I'd love to see just how messed up they are in their happily-ever-after post-ROTJ, basically.

Shame After Incestuous Relationship Becomes Public: I would love to see these two exposed after the relationship between Leia and Vader has been exposed in Bloodline; perhaps someone finds security footage from that cam on Hoth where Leia kissed him in ESB, or perhaps it's something more recent that someone, somewhere has dug up, and what once might have been excused as two heroes of the rebellion having a fling suddenly becomes a scandalous affair between a brother and sister who are also the children of Darth Vader -- can't get much of a bigger scandal than that. I'd love to see how it affects their relationship, especially if they don't stop their relationship (at first; an ultimate break-up is fine with me).

Sibling Incest: I would love to see these two kind of falling together after Ben basically divides their worlds in two and Han has left. I would love to see Luke basically needing to make things better for her, and Leia, of course, needing someone, something desperately familiar -- and then, tragedy. How do they come together? How do they feel about it? Is either of them tortured about the incest?

Grief/Mourning: I would love to see how they feel during the time where Luke is on his Depression Island and Leia is leading the resistance. How does Leia feel about Luke basically abandoning her? How does Leia feel about Luke — are her feelings for him totally reactionary to her surroundings, or is it a long-standing comfort for them? Does Han know? Do they care?

Feelings of Disassociation with Prosthetic limb in Intercourse: I would love to see some hurt/comfort with regard to Luke's mechanical hand. It's such a loaded thing, full of such trauma for him - and he's clearly gone through some changes during the ST in regard to it, given how he chooses not to hide it anymore. I would love to have a quiet interlude with him and Leia focusing on it, especially if his feelings in regard to the hand are contrasted with his feelings about how their relationship has changed, about the wrongness of the hand and the wrongness of touching his sister in this way.

Sexual Relationship as Unhealthy Coping Mechanism: I think it's clear that that Luke and Leia have a lot of reasons to be screwed up after ROTJ. Both their families are gone, in literally every way, and the big goal that kept them sane for so long pretty much disappears — and, oh yeah, by the way, they're siblings, enjoy the fallout of that  — by the time they'd told this, they've had plenty of opportunities to pursue a more romantic relationship. I would love to see how that might work — do they keep up the romantic relationship as an unhealthy coping mechanism from ROTJ on? Is there a possibility that Luke is Ben's dad, not Han? (Oh gosh, the angst.) Or did they start their affair later — and if so, what started it?

Solo: A Star Wars Story (2018)

Group: Darth Maul/Qi'ra (Solo)

I absolutely was surprised by seeing Darth Maul in Solo, even knowing that he was alive from TCW/Rebels during the time period. What I did not expect was that he was Qi'ra's boss, promising her that they had a lot of training to do. From what we know about Dryden and Qi'ra being both Teräs Käsi practitioners, I think it's fair to say that Maul is instructing them. I'd love to see him take her further down the role of dark side training; whether she is a force sensitive is up in the air for me, but I'd love to see Maul trying to break her into something closer to what he is - a Sith in attitude (but perhaps not in force powers). It's all he knows, after all.

And given that we know that Dathomir Zabrak romances/breeding tend to be like Klingon dating (eg fights that turn into sex — thanks for that factoid, Clone Wars!), I'd see some obvious violence that might turn into — well, not, romance, perhaps, but definitively sex. Is it Maul who initiates, or Qi'ra? Is Qi'ra okay with being treated in extreme situations because she sees it as a quest to power, or a sort of atonement for what she did to the good people she's screwed over (or both)? How does she feel about Maul? What does he see her as? And sexually, the fact he can't have a dick in the traditional sense - since he's machine from the hips down - how does that affect their relationship? Robo-dick? Dildos? Nothing at all? I'm open to all possibilities.

Rough Sex to Stave Off Other Violent Urges: I would love to see Qi'ra or Maul losing themselves in the darks urges and turning to sex when they don't have enemies to kill. I'm fascinated by what their emotional relationship might be - does Maul find her an ideal apprentice, given her endless desire for power? Does she get off on the idea of having a Sith Lord underneath her?

Sex in the Blood of their Enemies: Because if anyone is gonna fuck in a room full of corpses, it's absolutely a Sith lord. From what we know of his background, he was mostly raised by Sidious from a young age in the ways of the Sith so I imagine he would very much embrace the Sith Lifestyle, and rejoice in the death of their enemies - and what better way to rejoice than sex? I'd love to see Qi'ra, who hasn't been raised in this way, and her reaction to it? Or does she initiate, channeling a high of darksider power, or a desire to trick him, or something else entirely?

Sexual Relationship as Unhealthy Coping Mechanism: Qi'ra has issues in regards to leaving Han. Fucking Maul isn't going to help her get over that, but there's power in control of a hungry, angry man under your thumb.

Whipping/ Mutual Non-Con as Part of Training/ Forced Deepthroat/Choking on a Dick/ Weapon Used As a Sex Toy/ Orgasm Denial/ Forced to give oral sex: I'm putting these all together because what I want is similar, though I am not expecting to get more than one of them in a fic. I would love to see Sith training shenanigans where pain and pleasure are both parts of the curriculum, where they're both tasked with these kinks as a way of asserting dominance. I know this leans more toward non-con but I'd prefer having the focus not on the potential humiliation of being forced to do something but on how the subordinate character deals with it - Does Qi'ra see this as just another way to grab power, something that most be endured or is she genuinely excited to experience these things? Is Maul pleased his apprentice is advancing, or frustrated to find himself choking on his own hubris (perhaps literally)? I have a major weakness for fem-dom but I also like male-dom so whether Qi'ra or Maul initiates, I am interested.

Tekken

Group: Mishima Kazuya/ Lee Chaolan | Violet
Group: Mishima Kazuya/Kazama Jin

The Mishimas are traumatic as fuck and I just want to revel in it. For both Kazuya and Jin, they have demons infecting/possessing them, and I'd love to see a deep dive into what this does to their psyches; who are they, ripped apart from their demons? Is there even really a Jin or Kazuya still there? How does this affect their relationships with others: does Lee witness Kazuya's descent, and sorrow in the brother/lover he lost, or is he frightened/jealous of what Kazuya has found? Does Jin feel a kinship with his father despite not wanting to?

I'm aware everything I'm asking for is incest and I'm fine with it. Honestly, it's the least taboo thing in this family, though ruminations on how Heihachi has fucked them all up in their own ways is of course welcome.

Kazuya/ Lee Chaolan | Violet

demon summoning gone wrong: Post Tekken 2 and Pre Tekken 4, Lee tries to figure out what happened to his adopted brother/lover (it's complicated) and inadvertently winds up summoning Kazuya's demon — and, with it, Kazuya. How does he cope with this? Is he afraid?

Demonic Possession: I would love to see an examination of Kazuya's demon duality! Is Kazuya pretty much Devil all the time, or does Lee notice where the cracks between these two personalities are? Is he ever around with the personalities shift? Has he ever seen Kazuya's full, demonic form? How does Kazuya feel about Lee seeing him in moments of such fragility?

Descent into Madness: I would love to see Lee's viewpoint on what happened to Kazuya during the years. Has Kazuya changed notably in personality from Tekken 1 to Tekken 7? Has he always been insane if beloved, by Lee's reckoning, or has he changed? How does Lee feel about how his brother has changed — and how does he decide to use Kazuya's madness? Alternatively and even more darkly, what about Kazuya deciding to drive Lee into madness? How would he do it and what, if anything, would he use to make Lee break?

Possessiveness: I see Kazuya and Lee as never exactly being exclusive but both being very jealous people, naturally. I would love to see something where they are overly possessive of one another, especially if someone notices that the relationship between them is not exactly natural...

Group: Mishima Kazuya/Kazama Jin

demon summoning gone wrong: I would love to see something where Kazuya invokes the part of his demonic blood in Jin's soul Pre-Tekken 3. Would he find Jin a more in a more susceptible state? would he be able to manipulate Jin to his side? Would he murder the kid for his side of the demon? Or, Vice Versa, Jin summoning Kazuya and stripping the demon from him — and being disturbed at what is left of his father, without the power of the demon to help him — would he insist on showing his dominance in every way possible?

Demonic Possession: Kazuya and Jin interacting where one is under the demon's power and the other isn't. Would the possessed one goad the other into revealing their "true" selves? Would the non-possessed one recognize signs of their own madness in the other? Do the demons inside them feel attracted to one another - or, as their human lives seem to be, utterly repelled by the other?

Descent into Madness: Jin isn't sure what is him and what is Devil anymore. Kazuya slowly seduces him into thinking that it doesn't matter anymore.

Possessiveness: Kazuya's thoughts seeing Jin compete during the third tournament — and his decision to try to take the demon gene back from the boy, and the dark plans he begins making about his son. Does he see himself in him? Does he desire Jin for this? (After all, Kazuya introduces himself as Ore-Sama, so it's obvious he thinks quite highly of himself!)
