Art likes

I know that I like art of physical interactions between characters (cuddly or tender or sexy or smutty). Otherwise I am essentially a complete idiot about art. However, I am a fairly easy-to-please idiot. Please create whatever images inspire you, and use my prompts if they help.

Fandom-specific Notes & Prompts

Fandom-specific notes & prompts are entirely optional; take or leave, mix and match as you please.

Note: I didn't request any A/B/O because I don't know enough about how it works to be confident writing prompts for it. But I'm fine with receiving it for any of the "in heat" characters.

The Expanse TV (fic or art)

• sp!Alex Kamal/sp!Naomi Nagata/sp!Jim Holden/Amos Burton

No spoilers for Season 5 of the TV series, please. But I have read all the books, so feel free to bring in stuff from them.

• The whole crew of the Rocinante get sex-pollened, except Amos. He’s willing to help out. But it might cost him something. And/or the rest of the crew might worry about what it might be costing him. And/or they might try to help him deal with it afterward. And he might or might not let them. You just can never tell with Amos.

Red Dwarf (fic or art)

• sp!Holly/sp!Talkie Toaster; sp!Holly/Arnold Rimmer/Dave Lister/Kryten; sp!Holly/Arnold Rimmer/Dave Lister
  • The relationships only mention Holly being sex-pollened, but I’m fascinated by the possibilities of something sex-pollenish or sex-virusy also affecting other characters who have AI and/or who rely on Holly for their existence. (Maybe Holly passes on the condition?) What sort of activity would resolve the condition for such characters? Feel free to handwave the AI/hologram/appliance characters some organic physical bodies, or go for something virtual or entirely unlike what counts as sex for humans.
• ih!The Cat/Dave Lister/Arnold Rimmer/Kryten; ih!The Cat/Dave Lister/Arnold Rimmer; ih!The Cat/Dave Lister
  • The Cat goes into heat because another member of his species turns up somehow. (Maybe Red Dwarf visited a planet at some point in the past and some Cats got out?) Or maybe the heat is the result of an experiment by a crew member, or some unknown substance found aboard the ship. I would be into The Cat's sexual biology being more complex than that of Felis catus, with nonstandard/extra reproductive organs. But I'd also love to see The Cat in heat as his dandy masculine self (or maybe being in heat changes his sartorial preferences?).

Marvel Cinematic Universe (fic or art)

• sp!Heimdall/Thor: Heimdall/sp!Thor
• sp!Loki/Thor; sp!Loki/Stephen Strange; sp!Loki/sp!Stephen Strange
• Grandmaster/sp!Thor; Grandmaster/sp!Loki/Thor; Grandmaster/sp!Loki/sp!Thor; Grandmaster/sp!Loki; Grandmaster/Loki/sp!Thor
• sp!Thor/sp!Loki
• ih!Rocket Raccoon/Thor; sp!Rocket Raccoon/sp!Thor
• So, yeah, this boils down to “Gimme whatever compulsory sex my MCU LBDs might get up to.” That might be a vague prompt but I promise you I’m just as into getting a fic based on one of these groupings as I am my other requests that I’ve written more specific prompts for.

Original Work (fic or art)

• ih!giant sentient octopus/male Viking (OW O)
• I really like how specific this pairing is and I would love a story that leans into that. What lore do Vikings have about sea monsters?
• ih!Catboy Ambassador/Long-Suffering Werewolf Bodyguard (OW M/M)
  • There’s certainly a lot of potential backstory to draw from here! I'm curious about the relationship between catboys and werewolves in general. Do they often work together, or is this an unusual setup? And what’s the deal between these two? Is a werewolf assigned as the catboy's bodyguard because the catboy is an ambassador to a Werewolf nation? Or is he some other kind of ambassador? What has the werewolf long been suffering (and is he suffering specifically due to the catboy's behavior, or is it an inherent part of his job no matter whom he is assigned to? In this world, what accommodations, if any, are usually made for heats and full moons?How do other people in this world look on catboy/werewolf relationships? Are they commonplace or rare? Accepted or frowned upon? Do the catboy and werewolf know others of their kinds in mixed-species relationships? (PS: I'm also fine with straight-up smut if you aren't into the worldbuilding aspects of this pairing.)
• sp!Human/The sex demon they accidentally summoned (OW M/M)
• ih!Human/The sex demon they accidentally summoned ( OW M/M)
• Human/ih!The sex demon they accidentally summoned ( OW M/M)
  • I want to know: who is this man accidentally summoning a sex demon? Was it someone who had no idea what he was doing? Or a wizard trying for some other kind of demon or spell? If he was summoning a demon for nefarious reasons, or doing it against good advice, I think he should get some comeuppance. But maybe he's an apprentice wizard whose cruel or just absent-minded master has set him to something he doesn't have the right training for yet. Or the classic apprentice wizard who gets in over his head entirely on his own (perhaps trying to summon a magic broomstick instead of a sex demon). One might feel sorry for a guy like that. I'd also love to know what sex demons think about getting summoned. Are they into it? Annoyed by it? Does it depend on who's summoning them and for what purpose?
• sp!Human worker at a rundown aquarium/Merman (OW M/M)
• Human worker at a rundown aquarium/ih!Merman (OW M/M)
  • I love how the aquarium is described as "rundown." To me, that sets an emotional tone for the fic, something a little melancholy and/or dark (noir?). I'm intrigued by the possibilities of the worker having been there for a long time, or being someone newly hired on. Maybe the merman has been there a while, or maybe he's their last-ditch effort to rebuild their popularity, and they don't know a lot about merman heats. I'd like to see some pining happening, in either or both directions, to give extra urgency to the sex pollen or heat scenario.
• ih!satyr/lost wanderer (OW M/M)
  • I don't have anything particularly specific to suggest here but I'd love a sexy story or vignette that has lush descriptive detail about the setting and the characters’ bodies (mm, satyrs) and feelings.
• ih!Space Captain/Female Crew Members (OW F/F) sp!Spaceship Captain/Female Crew (OW F/F)
  • I'm curious about these space-faring people. What do creatures who go into heat do on long starship voyages? Is it common for them to encounter sex pollen? Are there protocols? Or has mission control conveniently pretended these issues don’t exist? Or does it happen entirely unexpectedly? I'm into the captain being liked by her crew, who are happy to help with her problem. Or being not liked very much at all, so they get a chance to give her what they think she deserves. Or something more complex than that.
• ih!Cat Woman/Police Chief Who Tries to Capture Her Regularly (OW F/F)
  • What is the backstory here? What kind of a recidivist is this cat woman? The police chief sounds like she's hung up on the cat woman. Maybe she's aware that she's hot for the cat woman and is trying to capture her partly so she can do something about it. Or maybe she just wants to get this criminal off the streets...until the opportunity presents itself to help her with her heat. Or maybe it's the cat woman appreciating her worthy opponent, until suddenly she's feeling something a lot stronger than appreciation. I like the opportunities for competence porn here.
• sp!Sole Survivor of a Space Mission/Aliens Who Treat Her as a Adorable Plaything (OW F/F)
  • Well we already know the aliens' point of view in this scenario. I'm into having more details along those lines—what do they find adorable about her. In what ways do they enjoy playing with her? I'm also into seeing it from the point of view of the survivor. That's an awful lot to process, being the sole survivor, all the rest of your crew dead, and now you're dosed with sex pollen and being played with by who knows what kinds of creatures. It would take someone with a strong personality and sense of survival to get through that. But we already know she's a survivor. Who knows, maybe she's gotten into this deliberately because she hopes the aliens will give her something she wants afterward. Maybe she's always been estranged from other humans and this is the best outcome she can think of.
• Female Lighthouse Keeper/ih!Female Selkie (OW F/F)
• Lighthouse keepers are not quite of the sea or of the land, and selkies likewise. That gives them something in common. I'd like these characters ultimately to have a cooperative relationship; I'd be into an inversion of the "human steals selkie's skin and she eventually finds it and leaves" story or the "selkie impregnates human and her kid eventually kills him" story. Or something entirely different.
