Tell me which of them you like and a story element/line of dialogue/any suggestion of your own to sprinkle in and I'll try to write about a paragraph about it!

To be clear- the character dynamic list is A: the victim, B: someone A is close to or considers a friend, C: a stranger to A, who either sees A and immediately decides to take them or has been a secret admirer for a while (either dynamic works)

Prompt ideas

1. Character A and character B, a pair of friends, are hanging out when they discover a weird artifact. B takes it before forgetting about it and just continuing to spend time with their friend. That is, until B tells A to come closer to check something out, and A's legs walk on their own. It doesn't take them too long to figure out what happened, and B is left with the knowledge that A will be compelled to follow through on anything they verbally say (really more of an RP concept I was trying to sell on another sub than a writing prompt, I don't know how the logistics of this one would work as a one-off writing thing)

2. A crosses paths with a person and exchanges introductions, only for them to turn out to be a fair folk who can now use the name to control A (actually working on writing something like this now, the build up to the fun bit has got me kind of written into a corner though)

3. A doesn't even stop to talk to A or even introduce themself- just works their magic from a distance to force A to approach and make the first move

4. A's body becoming hijacked on-and-off even outside of B or C's presence to accommodate B/C's wants- fingers responding to their texts, answering the door when they invite themself over, turning down other invitations on days B/C had already scheduled to visit, attempts for A to explain their situation instead become talking about how A recently started seeing B/C, etc.

5. Alternatively, C using the same indirect control to have A pursue their friend *B*. B, not realizing anything is wrong, is flattered and ends up feeling the same way, but A remains all too aware that their sweet words aren't their own.

6. Maybe A invites B over at C's whim so C can take them *both*

For scenario 4 specifically it got kinda popular the last time I posted my concept list here so I thought I'd expand it a bit- here's even more specifics that could be potentially gone into:

-The day after The Encounter you wake up to a good morning text from the other person and watch yourself respond, maybe they even think bedhead is cute and ask to see yours

-The other person calls you on the phone and makes plans with your voice to meet up later, and you can't get out of it

-Someone else wants to know if you want to join them on *their* thing that day, but your voice tells the other person they already have plans-When the time comes your body prepares against your will and leaves the house without your input

-They call you and ask where they can meet up with you/where they can pick you up. The information forces itself out of your mouth.

B pulled their lips back from A's as they let out a low, sensual laugh and a smug smile. "Aw... always such a sweet, needy little thing... Where would you be without me, A?"

A was already expecting it when their mouth formed words against their will in response- "My life would be empty without you, B." *-but it was still hard to really be ready for when it happened. The sound of your own voice, the movement of your own mouth, the feeling of your own voice in your throat against your will- it was the sort of thing you never really got used to.

But even harder for A to ignore than their own voice was their body- sitting on B's lap, their arms wrapped around B's shoulders and legs straddling B's waist, leaning in like they *wanted* to be there. A had spent most of the day like that- clinging close to B against their own will, whispering sweet nothings in an almost monotone- since B had approached A at the coffee shop and started flirting. A hadn't gotten to respond then- not as themself, anyway. Instead their head nodded, their mouth smiled and gave a sappy response, their body had stood up, linked their arm around B's own, and followed B back home.

B pressed another long, slow kiss to A's mouth, before pulling away again. "A... you aren't the jealous type, are you?" they purred, hand toying with A's hair just beside their ear. And to no one's surprise, A spoke again. "No. Not at all. As long as you're happy, B." It came out flat. Mechanical. It didn't *have* to be like that- A's movement and speech had seemed natural enough to blend in back at the coffee shop- but B liked it better when A was going through the motions more blankly. It was a good reminder for both of them who was *really* in control.

"Good," purred B. "Because you know who would be *really* fun for us to have with us? C."

A's blood ran cold- now B was going after C? It must have shown on A's face, because B started up with that low chuckle again. "Oh- does C know you, A?" They did. C had been A's friend for a while, and even though it had been a while since they last spoke, both would still trust each other with their lives. "That makes things *so* much easier... you'd have no problem convincing them to come over to play with us. How's that sound, A?" B's hand ran gently through A's hair as they spoke- which wouldn't have been as bad, if A's body wasn't stretching its neck out to press into B's touch, as if they were some sort of pet.

And of course A answered. They had no choice. "It sounds wonderful, B."

B's grin grew even wider, if that was even possible. "So sweet-" they cooed. "Here. Get up. I'll go and get your phone, we can call them right now."

A felt themself stand up and get off of B- the air on their skin cool compared to B's touch- as B stood up to get A's phone off the end table. Once they'd done that, they went right back to the couch, and patted their thigh- "Come here, A. Let's call C together."

A cozied back up to B- of course they did. They didn't have a choice. They sat on B's lap and reclined their head onto B's chest as B found C's number.

*Don't pick up. Don't pick up.*

The phone rang once. Twice. It started to ring a third time, but got cut off.

*No.*

"Hello? C speaking- A, is that you?"

The blood drained from A's face as B grinned. "Now be good and win them over for me, okay?"

B held the phone to A's ear. Grabbed A's chin and turned their face to face the phone. And A's mouth began to move. "Yeah. It's me. I know it's been a while, but... I kind of wanted to reach out again. I was wondering if you wanted to join me at the coffee shop tomorrow?

"It made A's skin crawl how natural their voice sounded now that B had an image to sell. How much it sounded like *them*. Their voice not being their own was bad enough- but now that it *was* their own voice that B was using, it was a hundred times worse. As if A was the one speaking, as if A was the one who wanted this, as if A was even the one *holding the phone*.

"Tomorrow?" There was a moment of silence over the phone line. A would have crossed their fingers in hopes that C would call a rain check, if they were still theirs to move. "Yeah! I guess so. I guess it's been too long since we've talked, we should get together."

*And as much as A wanted to warn them, their voice carried on as if nothing was wrong.* "Great! See you then! Looking forward to it."

"Yup! Bye!" *Click.*

As B laughed and put the phone back down, they leaned in, resting their chin on A's shoulder. "Aw... such a good A for me... you did perfect."

*And back to that forced, mechanical tone again-* "Thank you, B. I'm glad I could make you happy."

"Tomorrow, it won't just be the two of us anymore, will it? You'll get to be with C again. Isn't that nice?"

*A tried biting their tongue to refuse B the satisfaction, but all it did was delay the words-* "Yes."

*And A felt their weight shift, turning to face B and straddling B's hips again, their hands rested around B's shoulders. Their body leaned in, and B wrapped their arms around them to pull them even closer.*

Hey, something really weird's been going on- does anyone know what the deal is with B?

It was the only way to the outside world A still had since the incident. It had happened all at once- one moment A was just standing there, waiting at the bus stop, and the next moment B had walked by and tossed their arm around A's shoulders without so much as slowing down, and A's feet began walking with B against A's own will.

B had walked A into B's house, and ever since then, A's body had refused to leave it. Their hand wouldn't turn the doorknob, their feet would stop dead in their tracks at the door, every attempt to leave would be met with their body either freezing up, or outright turning and walking back into the house. At least it was better than when B was home- where A would be forced to B's side at all hours, their face forced into a false smile as their mouth whispered sweet nothings they didn't mean.

A sigh that A wasn't allowed to go through with caught in their throat as a notification appeared on their phone- B had made a new post. A watched as their hand clicked the notification and loaded the post- a sickeningly sweet picture of A and B posing with each other, that same fake smile as always on A's face- watched as their hand scrolled down to the comments and started typing, and watched as they uploaded a sappy comment about B.

That's my B! I still can't believe I was able to score someone like this 😘

The gushing on social media was pretty routine to them at this point- B had made a lot of posts since the whole thing started, and A had watched themself comment on every one- but all the same the emoji made A want to recoil. They would never say that. Never. They didn't use emojis.

But after a moment, A- now once more in control of their hand- sighed and went back to what they were doing.

Hey, something really weird's been going on- does anyone know what the deal is with B?

But as their finger pressed the screen, they watched their message disappear- they had hit the delete key instead of the post key. And then they started typing again- but not of their own accord.

Shoutout to B! So glad I was at the bus stop at the right time!

And they watched themself scroll to their own camera, get another of those sickeningly sweet pictures of A and B together- B made them get a lot of those- and uploaded it.

Their thumb hit post before they could do anything about it.

It didn't take too long until the post got a comment- it was from B.

"Aww you're too sweet! On my way home btw, so don't miss me too hard!"

A's thumb liked the comment. No surprise there.

And then their body stood up. Walked to the door. Waited for B to get home.

And A wasn't sure whether to be more afraid of the wait, or of when it would be over.

This one's a bit older but I mostly just posted it on my main since it wasn't as obviously suggestive as my other one

Seems like someone's curious to see what was under his jacket. Even though Drew normally isn't the type to flaunt himself, it seems like in the end his admirer proved herself to be rather persuasive.
