Odds' first rec list: bragging about the amazing stories people wrote for my promts
I so love thinking of promts, it has been the perfect way for me to dip my toes into participating in fandom as someone who has no desire to write or create anything my own. And I have been beyond blessed by the stories people have been written for some of my anon promts. I want to have them all in one place and I want everybody to read them. So made this rec list. You might think I'm biased (I am) but I also promise you that all of these are objectively amazing.
In chronological order:
cosmic proportions by @janinaduszejko, Carlos/Carlos Sr, 2k The first thing that was ever written for a prompt of mine and I struck gold on the very first try. Yes it's incest(ish) but it barely feels like incest while you're reading it. And it's also a wonderful exploration of the views Carlos Sr has on his son and his performance. It has some phenomenally hot orgasm denial and some incredibly sexually charged interactions that still make you question wether anything actually happend. Go read it, I promise you won't regret it.
my favourite flavour, cherry red by @kidulkas, Carlos/Max, 2.7k This was written for a kink meme promt for orgasm denial and it delivers an incredibly hot version of that. It's also a meditation on what it means to deny yourself in all kinds of different ways and it has a fascinating dynamic between Carlos and Max. MY favorite flavour!
in/connu by @kidulkas, Pierre/Charles, 10.2k This was written for the That Trope You Hate fest for the promt of drivers cheating on each other, a trope I really can't claim to hate. It answers questions such as: What does it mean to be together? What's the difference between cheating on your situationship and cheating on your girlfriend? What if you want to fuck it out but your dick won't stay hard? It's funny and smart and hot and heartbreaking. I love it.
La pire de bénédictions by @kidulkas, Pierre/Esteban, 4.2k Another kink meme promt. I still get such a kick out of the fact that you found THREE of my promts in the wild, that's some truly fated shit. The promt was for dubcon roleplay and it's a story about two people for who that's the only way they can let themselves have sex with each other. It's equally as hot as devastating. I've never cared so much about Pierre and Esteban before or since.
In Abidance by @disarmd, Oscar/Mark and Daniel/Lando/Oscar, 39k I can't really claim I contributed anything to the idea of this story but I did lobby very hard for it to be written and it was gifted to me and I can imagine no bigger honor. If its prequels were all about the hotness of sexual slavery this story is about the horror of it. It's about neglect that's worse than violence and it's about being rescued when you didn't even dare to want that and about thawing after years of being frozen. It's about being owned in a new and better way and starting to learn to be a person again. It deals with all of these things in the most careful and compassionate manner you could ever imagine. It makes me feel so much to even think about this story that I'm crying just typing this. It's also incredibly hot and sometimes funny. You really really need to read it and also all the other fics in this series which are equally brilliant.
recursion by @disarmd, Oscar/Carlos, 4k This was one of the first ever promts I sent and then I got to look forward to for nine months. And it didn't disappoint! Its Oscar is socially akward in a way that's very uncomfortably relatable to me and its Carlos has his own issues that Oscar is too preoccupied to notice. It has the most evocative descriptions. It's so hot. There is secret orgasm denial. It's brilliant!!
sour grapes by @vroombeams, Lando/Oscar, 4.1k I was feeling very gleefully evil when promted (the first chapter of) this story and then I cried when I read it. Played myself. It's an incredible exploration of what it means to be "good" at cheating and it's so juicy and hot but also heartbreaking. It's short but there is an incredible amount of nuanced characterization in it and I could think about it forever. You also need to check out the tag for essential Magui and Mark POVs.
These two tumblr ficlets by @fast-burn that manage to create a whole world in just five sentences. The first one is an exquisitely fucked-up Nortrell dynamic and the second one is a very sweet yet melancholy slice of Maxiel. They leave me wanting more in the very best way.
capsize in your thighs by @wedriftlikelonelyplanets, Lando/MaxF, 7.4k The promt for this was pussy curse cnc but it's something much better. It's about not wanting to want something and being with someone who knows to give it to you anyway and it's about feeling wrong in your body and being made to feel better. It's incredibly hot and romantic and it went very deep into my heart.
