Porn tree challenge - March 2018
Amnesty is closed - on to Round 36!
WARNING: This comm is anon-friendly, so viewer advisories and the like are turned off. However, you will likely find sexually explicit material here, and you may possibly find content that is disturbing or triggering in some fashion. Please turn back if you are not of age to view sexually explicit material and/or okay with the thought of maybe running across potentially disturbing things. We want the porn tree to be fun for everyone, not a horrific experience!
What we are doing here is a Prompt Tree Challenge. Any fandom is welcome, or for that matter things that aren't usually considered fandoms (historical figures, mythology, whatever you want - go for it! More power to you.) Gen and smut of any type are both welcome. Fanart is welcome, too - but if you post art, please link to it instead of posting it directly in the comments, and use appropriate warnings.
I'll go ahead and try to explain how this'll work. Please read the instructions even if you participated in previous challenges.
First, you leave a top-level comment naming the fandom you'd like to see people write in, both in the comment and the subject line. Example: you want someone to write fic for...oh, I don't know, how about the game Tales of the Abyss. So your comment and your subject line both say:
Tales of the Abyss
Then anyone who wants to, including the original poster, can reply to that comment with the name of a character from that fandom they'd like to see people write about. Let's say one of you wants someone to write about Luke. Now it should look like this:
Tales of the Abyss
Luke fon Fabre
People who are interested in that character can then reply to that comment with one or more characters they want to pair the first character up with (in either a gen or porny context). So you might get a thread that's starting to look like this:
Tales of the Abyss
Luke fon Fabre
Guy Cecil
Tear Grants
HOWEVER - when you comment with the response character, please change the subject line of your comment to reflect the pairing you're going for (i.e. if you responded to Luke with Tear, your subject line would say Luke fon Fabre/Tear Grants or Luke/Tear.) It's a good way of helping people keep track of pairings that have already been asked for, and helping them find pairings they might be interested in reading or writing.
People who wish to leave a specific prompt at this point can leave one either for a pairing, or for a single character. For example:
Tales of the Abyss
Luke fon Fabre
Tear Grants
fonic hymns
OR:
Tales of the Abyss
Luke fon Fabre
memory
People can leave fic at any point in this tree - they can write fic for a single character, fic for any of the character pairings, or fic in response to one of the prompts. Again, please change the subject line to reflect the character or pairing and the prompt (if there's no prompt, just put "no prompt" instead.) Example:
Tales of the Abyss
Luke fon Fabre
Any fic about Luke goes here
Tear Grants
Luke/Tear fic goes here
fonic hymns
Luke/Tear fic specifically responding to the "fonic hymns" prompt goes here.
Points to remember:
* Make sure if you're responding to a pairing by itself that you leave your fic as a reply to the pairing; if you're responding to a specific prompt, leave your comment as a response to the prompt. Also remember, in the above example, if you wanted to leave a prompt for Guy or Tear by themselves, or pair them with a different character, you'd just start a new comment tree under the Tales of the Abyss heading. (See why it's a porn tree now?)
* You may leave responses to your own top-level comments if you have specific characters you want to see paired off with the character you first named. Don't be afraid to leave multiple pairings and prompts. You left a comment about Kamui Shirou from X/1999, and you want to then offer up the opportunity to pair him with Kotori Monou? Go for it. You commented with Vashyron from Resonance of Fate, and you have a hankering to see him in bed with Zephyr? Pair away. You want to leave prompts to your own characters or pairings? Feel free. We won't yell at you.
* Multiple people are allowed to respond to the same prompts. This is where the subject line thing comes in so very handy. We don't want a whole bunch of different threads all requesting the same pairing when just one will do just as well, right? Check the subject lines for your pairing, and if it's not listed, go wild. But if it's already there, please don't post it again - you can feel perfectly free to leave a prompt, though!
* Yes, you are free to request crossovers - if, say, you find a comment with Edward Elric from Full Metal Alchemist, and you want to pair him up with Lelouch Lamperouge from Code Geass (hey, go wild if that's your thing), just reply to the Edward comment with "Lelouch (Code Geass)".
* Do not lump all the games in a single franchise or series together! It may be tempting to drop every Final Fantasy or Phantasy Star game under a single heading labeled "(series name) series", but in the interests of more easily finding a specific game without having to hunt all over hell and back through one top-level comment, please make a separate top-level comment for each game.
* Do NOT leave an empty top-level comment with no pairings or characters under it. I know the idea behind that is to get other people's imaginations going, but if there's nothing at all under the series heading, it makes things really, really confusing. Please leave at least one for the sake of clarity.
* Please, please, please use the subject lines to clarify your pairings! It makes it so much easier on all of us, whether we're reading, writing or just keeping an eye on things.
* In the spirit of the above, PLEASE only use the localized names for characters, unless you're prompting for a series that has been unreleased outside of its home country. If you think people won't recognize the character without the Japanese (or whatever) name, you can certainly feel free to add it in parentheses after. Example: "Jessica Philomele (Philomel Hartung)".
* And again looking at the above, if the character you're prompting for goes by a nickname that would be more easily recognized than their actual name, put that nickname in the subject line and the character's full name (then followed by nickname in parentheses, if you so choose) in the comment itself. Of course, it is totally up to you what you think would be more easily recognized.
* Please add "FIC" to the subject line if you are posting fic, (and likewise, "ART" if you're posting a link to art) so that people can easily distinguish between fic (or art) and prompts! Example: "FIC: Luke/Tear (no prompt)".
* I'm also going to ask that if you're writing or drawing porn, please add "[MA]" to the subject line for your comment, so that people who aren't here for smut can skip it. Example: "[MA] FIC: Luke/Tear (no prompt)". (HOWEVER, this is a big, big forewarning to everyone: I am sure that some of us are going to forget about the porn warning on occasion, so you may well stumble across something that squicks you. If this is a truly horrible thought, you may want to skip this challenge.)
* And last of all - you may feel free to add on to another person's prompt! Like, for example, maybe you saw "clash of tempers", and you'd like to add "in bed" or "at lunchtime" or "in the shower" (hey, I don't know), just reply to the original prompt with your addition.
I'll leave a couple of prompts to start with so you get the general idea. If you're still confused, go ahead and ask questions here; I'll try to respond to them the best I can.
This challenge will run until March 31st, 11:59 PM Central Standard Time. Let the March 2018 porn tree challenge begin! Happy porning!

Star Ocean: The Last Hope
Arumat
Arumat/Crowe
Arumat/Crowe, "you still have work to do"
Arumat/Crowe, the end
[FIC] Arumat/Crowe, the end
He has never quite been one to put much stock in Eleyna's visions (much to her consternation), but even to his skeptical mind, this one is undeniably different. She has never spoken with an unease quite this penetrating or a seriousness quite this profound, and so he listens, seats himself gingerly on the worn wooden bench and reaches for the ever-present cup of tea without taking his eyes from the being of brilliant light that is Roak's prophetess; she speaks of ancient evil, of a world in ruins, a brave warrior and an ancient artifact, and it seems to resonate with something deep in the corners of his mind in a way he is all too familiar with. It is sparking a determination he has only rarely felt before, a deep, smoldering resolve he knows it is useless to fight - as if he would even try, knowing this is something that, prophecy or no, he cannot and will not ignore.
His mind is made up.
He catches her as she collapses, as the light fades, and speaks to her when she wakes.
She is reluctant, concerned, as might be expected, but perhaps surprisingly, she does not try to dissuade him. She only warns him - once, twice, a third time just to be completely certain - and when he does not falter, she closes her eyes for a moment and then tells him what he needs to know. The secret he holds within him that can reveal the path he must take, the location of the key to that metaphorical door, and what he must do when he gets there; it is as if this is precisely what she expected of him, but he puts that thought out of his mind, silently reassures himself that he would go even if not foretold by a prophecy he's still not really sure if he actually believes, and rises to go.
She rises with him, kisses him once and lets him absently trace the faint swell of her belly, lets him silently bid farewell to the child that has begun to grow within.
That done, he pushes open the wooden door and emerges into fading sunlight and birdsong.
***
It is precisely as she told him. The Eye of Truth, the glowing stone that he holds in his hands resonates with something primal deep within him, with the ancient bloodline that runs in him, and he finds he knows precisely how to use it without really knowing why, closing his eyes and concentrating hard to draw out its power into a seething maelstrom that surrounds him. It is so intense that he can't even open his eyes to look, but he doesn't need to - the Eye resonates with him and he can see without seeing, and it is through this not-quite-sight that he is guided to move, to take his first steps into a world unlike any he has ever seen before.
The malevolence that surrounds him is immediate, choking and suffocating, but it is nothing he cannot resist, and the Eye's brilliant burn in a pouch at his side gives him strength and courage as he draws the two blades at his back, activates them in a hiss of energy that seems to cut straight through the eerie fog that swirls all about him. He has no time to falter, he knows; the enemy will be on him the instant he takes even one more step, and so he is ready as he moves, the rhythm of the battle-dance burning bright in his blood. Ever onward, ever deeper, he does not stop, he does not rest; he cannot.
It is not long before he comes upon his goal, and despite his mind screaming at him beneath the surging fire in his veins that he cannot win, he fights.
He fights, and though he weakens the Archfiend greatly, he does not win.
Perhaps it is some small mercy that he is not destroyed right then and there, that he is left in a crumpled and bleeding heap but yet somehow still alive, somehow still conscious enough that he can still just think through the veil of agony that has descended on him - he must flee, he knows, and as if guided by some will not his own, his leaden hands once more draw out the Eye and he lets its magic flow through him in an agonizing torrent that burns and freezes in equal measures; he is almost certain he should not be able to stand this, and yet somehow he does, and the feel of the sinister atmosphere fading from around him is perhaps the best feeling of all as he prays with all his strength: take me home.
He feels sand beneath him as the Eye leaves him, barely conscious, barely alive, and he thinks he can hear Eleyna's voice before feverish delirium blots out his senses.
***
By some miracle, he survives the night, but he is so pitifully weak and only getting weaker, and both he and Eleyna slowly begin to come to a depressing and yet inevitable conclusion as the days pass; not only has he lost the battle, he is soon to lose the war that is fighting to cling to his last shreds of life, to pay the ultimate price for what he has done. Yet he cannot bring himself to regret any of it, instead stubbornly clinging to the hope that he has perhaps prolonged Roak's survival, and that of its people, just a little longer - even if he is to lose his life for it, that is worth every last thing that he has done, and that soothes him in a way nothing else can.
There is one more thing that soothes him, too. It is, perhaps surprisingly, a prophecy.
Every night as he tosses restlessly in the sheets, malevolent fever gripping him in hellish waves, Eleyna sits beside him, and she repeats the words of the prophecy to him until he calms: at the moment his soul is to pass into the star ocean, an apparition of death will appear at his side to grant him a final wish, so that he may cross over peacefully into the world beyond life. It would perhaps be unsettlingly morbid to anyone else, but in his delirium, it reminds him of something he longs for, something he has regretted leaving behind ever since sacrificing himself to open the path for his friends - and as those thoughts flit restlessly through what remains of his conscious mind, they keep a tiny spark alight deep within him, a little bit of life he will not let be torn away. Not yet--
He does not know how much time passes, losing track of everything as he slips ever closer to the final moment of unconsciousness, but when he next opens his eyes, he is no longer in Eleyna's small, snug hideout; instead there are bright lights above him, a soft but strangely unyielding surface beneath him, and for a long moment he thinks he is hallucinating. This is a ship, a familiar one that shouldn't even exist any more, and the confusion that wracks him is dizzying but the sudden feel of a hand grasping his brings him clarity and coherency. There is someone there, holding his hand, simply watching him, and when he can finally focus his hazy eyes he finds the rush of emotion is nearly intolerable. Once more, it's just as Eleyna told him; the specter of death has come to grant his wish, and suddenly he feels peaceful, just finding the strength to curl his fingers round the ones that hold tight to him.
He knows, somehow, that this is the very last moment, and he welcomes it.
"Stay," he manages, a hoarse sound that is little more than a breath, heavy and aching in his chest and he coughs, forces out more words despite the toll it takes on his rapidly dwindling strength. "Please. Stay with me...till the end. Burn out...with me..."
There is no verbal answer for a long moment, but those fingers tighten on his just a little bit, and when the words finally come, they are just on the edge of hearing. "...I will. Now rest...Crowe."
The sound of his name on those lips brings an immeasurable joy; it is the last thing he feels before everything simply...stops.
***
Arumat does not release Crowe's hand for a very long while, even when it has gone limp in his, even when the faint pulse in the Earthling's chest has ceased and he no longer breathes. He cannot let go, he will not let go, his eyes closed in mourning and his free hand at his chest in a respectful gesture, those final raspy words tumbling through his head over and over again like a recording without end. Stay with me. Burn out with me, they whisper endlessly, and he finds a not-so-distant memory teased loose from the very depths of his mind, words that he has held ever so dear since they were first spoken to him from those very lips.
I'll be there to witness the moment you finally burn out, he remembers, the distant echo of Crowe's voice in his head a sweet pain that cuts straight to his soul, and he smiles mirthlessly.
Burn out with me...
And he knows that finally, he has found what he has been seeking all this time.
He can go home.
***
Eleyna stands at the edge of the water, her hands resting gently on the curve of her belly, and looks up, her eyes closed tight as she cries words of grief to the sky.
Above her, there is a flash of light, the briefest wink of fire...and then, nothing.
When she has exhausted her tears, she leaves flowers on the shoreline, as she once told Meracle to do, and the waves carry them away as she turns and makes her mournful way home.
