So...no smut in this one, just some hints of stuff (b/c this fic was originally written for my eleven year old niece who came up with the idea) but that’s not to say we can’t have separate parts for ‘missing’ pieces of the story as a separate work. 

We can indulge the other part of your question though.

- Lee is pretty hard for us to ship him with anyone b/c his focus is Lyra. I can’t really picture him putting attention on anyone else, but that’s not to say he probably doesn’t get out and get laid once in a while. He’s just not really interested in a committed relationship right now.

So....Alexander, I’d say his turn ons...back in the day, he probably got laid every week and you know then Eliza was never not pregnant so every time she sneezed was probably a turn on. After his life with Eliza, it’s not realistic to think he took to celibacy. He probably even attempted to start over a few times, but he just couldn’t get over Eliza. He probably had sex though, just meaningless sex. This will shock everyone, but I think he’s honestly kind of vanilla-y. I think at this point in his life, his biggest turn on is love and stability. 

Usnavi, of course, has Vanessa and he’s happy. They live together and get to be parents to Sonny basically. Usnavi likes to be dominated. He’s a bit on the submissive side of sex-and don’t forget he has the cheat factor of telepathy so he knows what Vanessa wants. He’s a “Yes, Dear” kind of guy in every sense of the way. I promise you he’s been pegged and probably doesn’t care who knows.

Ruben’s pretty easy. He’s turned on by affection. Not necessarily a ‘dominate me’ (he’s had enough of that in Jamaica), but a ‘please make the first move’ kind of mentality. About to get a little bit dirty from the RACD side (my other fic series if anyone’s interested) but Ruben’s what Alvie calls a unicorn and can basically ‘finish’ without ever being touched. He’s pretty happy and satisfied just to have intimacy and kissing and cuddles and good love making. 

Alvie and sex are a little tricky because he’s used sex a lot to get by. Sometimes hooking up with a dude at a bar meant a place to shower and sleep for the night. He’s extremely sex-positive and is more scared of the emotional aspects of a relationship than sex. He does like to get a little rough now and then (get tossed on the bed, held down, tied up, biting) but Ruben’s not totally into that (yet) but no worries because Alvie is turned on by just about anything. Good coffee? Sure. Cute laugh? Sure. SpoilernotSpoiler he’s also really turned on by Ruben being in control of his powers and taking bad guys down. 

I’ll attempt Lee, but like I said, I only see him as a loveable cowboy dad. I feel like Lee would kind of like to be dominated and take on a submissive role in the bedroom, but don’t call him Daddy. That’s weird.

@break-so-beautifully has her own opinions (as we are two different writers) so here are hers:

I agree with Alex.  The whole thing.  He's old fashioned and vanilla.  He's never had another real relationship other than Eliza.  He's been with other women, but it just wasn't the same, so he's sort of given up on ever finding real love again.

Lee - fairly similar , but I think he'd be more dominant but would not be opposed to being submissive every so often.  I think that Lee's primary focus is Lyra and I absolutely do not ship him with anyone as a result.

Ruben just wants to be loved for who he is.  He doesn't want to be dominated, but he's not opposed to someone else taking the lead.  Also, he's not opposed to experimenting with new things either.  He's a cuddler after going so long with people just using his and not really taking his feelings, wants, and needs into account.  And he's loyal like a dang puppy.  

Alvie is way more sexually experienced than Ruben and that's not necessarily a good thing.  Alvie's been hurt, rejected and used which only complicates his sometimes fragile mental state.  He's always game to try new things and as such, he keeps Ruben on his toes.  At the end of the day though, he's also loyal like a puppy dog.  

Ruben and Alvie sort of see each other as their lights at the end of the tunnel.  Ruben thinks Alvie saved him and Alvie thinks Ruben saved him.  They just work.  They shouldn't, but they do.  This is further evidenced by the fact that their abilities and control of said abilities are enhanced when their together.

Alexander: Realistically...he’s a couple of centuries old, but he places himself late 30s to 40 ish

Usnavi: 26

Ruben: 28-30 ish. Give or take

Alvie: 23 or 24

Lee: Late 30s. 36-39 ish
