Bottom Kepler prompts 2026

4th – 10th May

Here they are!

This year, we've included three bonus prompts, for inspiration or extra spice on any given day – or on their own, if that's what tickles your imagination most. We welcome any pairings, AUs, genderbends, whatever you feel like, as long as Kepler bottoms in it ^^

Remember to tag us (@bottomkeplerweek) as well as tagging your submissions with #bottomkeplerweek and/or #bottomkeplerweek2026. Feel free to reach out via ask or DM if you have any questions.

Have fun! 🎉

Chapters: 2/3 Fandom: Wolf 359 (Radio) Rating: Explicit Warnings: No Archive Warnings Apply Relationships: Daniel Jacobi/Warren Kepler Characters: Warren Kepler, Daniel Jacobi Additional Tags: BottomKeplerWeek2026, Bottom Warren Kepler, Pre-Canon, Sex Pollen, and the inherent dubcon aspects thereof, it's basically drugged sex, BUT believe me they are into it, Other Additional Tags to Be Added, Explicit Sexual Content, Multiple Orgasms, like sooooo many orgasms, Warren Kepler's Praise Kink Series: Part 1 of Nammi's Bottom Kepler Week 2026 Summary:

“Um…” Jacobi coughs. “I think you should come and take a look at this.” No. Absolutely not. Kepler is not moving under any circumstances. His laptop stays right where it is until he gets his body back under control. “What is it?” he manages, and by some miracle his voice holds.  Jacobi swivels the desk chair around to face him, and for a moment Kepler is distracted wondering whether to be disappointed or relieved that he eventually put on a pair of sweatpants. Looking a little flushed, he fidgets with a loose thread on the chair. “I found the explanation for the condoms”, he says. Kepler grunts, nodding for him to go on. “They managed to synthesize an aphrodisiac, mostly by accident, I think. Sounds like they were a little taken aback by the effects, but they, uh, adapted pretty quick.”

Kepler is exposed to a strange substance while in the field, but fortunately Jacobi is there to help him deal with the effects.

Bottom Kepler Week 2026 Wrap Up

Thank you everyone for yet another event that was far more successful than we could've ever dreamed!

This year we had even better participation than last year, with 26 submissions from 10 people

There were a total of 142,769 words written and 6 pieces of beautiful art. Some fics are multi chapter and still wips, so this number will only grow! Compare that to last year's 74,286 total word count!

This year we had 9 ships represented:

While the number of ships is around the same, what ships people wrote are a little different, see this post to compare. No surprise that Kepcobi was the biggest ones both times, but it's great to see the diversity!

And we have managed to raise the total percent of explicit Kepler works that are bottom Kepler to 33.8% (for now):

Amazing, huh? I mean, look at the difference from before here.

We have our own favourites, of course, but we'd love to hear what yours are too! Please do elaborate in the tags if you feel like it ^^

You can find last year's prompts here if you need to refresh your memory.

Hi, it's been a while!

First of all we, @vanilla-phantoms and @nammikisulora, want to thank everyone who participated in last year's Bottom Kepler Week. It was an amazing ride to organize, and y'all created so many wonderful fanworks for it, both fic and art. We raised the amount of tagged Bottompler works from nearly none to enough for AO3 to canonize the tag (Bottom Warren Kepler)! Amazing work <3

Since it was such a success the first time, we are happy to announce that we will run a Bottom Kepler Week 2026 too!

Once again it will coincide with the week of Kepler's birthday, placing it between May 4th and 10th. However, this time we want to open up for a little more collaboration on the prompt front. We do have some ideas we plan to use, but we have also opened up a google form for prompt suggestions, and are holding a vote about a few old favourites that *might* make it in.*

We hope you're as excited as we are to do this again! :D Keep your eyes peeled and the form will drop sometime in the next few days, as will a fresh version of the rules and FAQ.

Kepcobi may be popular, but all ships are welcome!

For last year's Bottom Kepler Week, 40% of the works were kepcobi, but 9 other ships also got some love (10, if you count clonecobi as a separate person... now that is an interesting question for another time)!

So, while we love kepcobi, if you have another ship, this event is still for you!

What rare pairs would you like to see? Do you have any plans to write/draw for one? Let us know!

Before last years Bottom Kepler Week, bottom Kepler fics made up about 11% of total explicit Kepler works.*

*This doesn't include any mature works that may or may not contain smut because manually sorting through all of those would've been a pain

But now, they make up about 26% of total fics! What a difference!

Additionally, fics from last year's Bottom Kepler Week made up about two thirds of all explicit Kepler fics posted in the last year!

This year, let's get that number even higher!
