Porn Tree Challenge - January 2011
Hello, folks! I'm ![[personal profile]](https://www.dreamwidth.org/img/silk/identity/user.png)
merikuru; I'll be taking over for the lovely branewurms in setting up these prompt challenges for the next $timeperiod.
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 - things have changed around a little bit since, and it's been a while, so it's likely a good idea to re-familiarize yourself with the rules.
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 you reply to that comment with the name of a character from that fandom you'd like to see people write about. Let's say you want 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 from Code Geass (hey, go wild if that's your thing), just reply to the Edward comment with "Lelouch (Code Geass)".
* 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.
* Please add "FIC" to the subject line if you are posting fic, so that people can easily distinguish between fic and prompts! Example: "FIC: Luke/Tear (no prompt)".
* I'm also going to ask that if you're writing porn, please add "[MA]" to the subject line for your comment fic, so that people who don't want to read smut can skip it. Ex: "[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 the end of February. That gives you guys a bit over a month to get to writing, but I'll certainly extend it if there aren't many takers and/or people request me to do so. So, let the January 2011 porn tree challenge...BEGIN! *fires off noisemaker*

Mana Khemia Series
Vayne Aurelius
Roxis/Vayne
Roxis/Vayne, "orgasmic" Flames
[FIC] Roxis/Vayne, no prompt
He thinks he'll regret it. No, that's not quite accurate, he knows he'll regret it. He has never seen Roxis look so intense, so determined, his eyes focused and frightening behind carefully-polished glass and his concentration so sharp it gives the sense it could tangibly cut, and it sends sharp unease curling heavy in the pit of his stomach in a way that makes him want to turn and run. He's not so sure he shouldn't; it will curry him no favors, bring nothing but anger and disgust, but the urge is strong and sitting bitter on the back of his tongue and it's all he can do to force it down.
He is beginning to consider doing it anyway, damn the consequences, even as he watches Roxis' fingers work quickly and smoothly across the length of bicolored metal he is smoothing into a solid, shining circlet, the heat of the Athanor no hindrance to his coldly composed exterior.
To resist the urge, he speaks instead, pretending the hint of a nervous rasp in his voice just isn't there. "Roxis - are you sure I can't help you with something?"
Roxis doesn't look up; his fingertips delicately press the Stone of Alectoria into place, shimmering iridescence in the exact center of the strip of silvery gold. "I've nearly finished," he says, starts to say something else and then bites it back; Vayne suspects his Mana has given a sharp reminder of their pact and doesn't quite want to know what was said. "If you would kindly cease your fidgeting? This is the most difficult part and I'd rather not burn myself out of distraction."
Flushing darkly, Vayne takes a breath and obediently tries to hold still. Was he really fidgeting? He hadn't honestly noticed.
He seems to do well enough, anyway. Roxis says nothing more as he slides the malleable strip farther from the forge, bends it into a roughly circular shape and twists the tapered ends to his satisfaction, creating a sort of crude hook-and-eye latch that will hold it in place upon completion and giving a small snort that nearly sounds pleased. He never allows himself to show complete appreciation, he never has; there's always some small thing he can pick at coldly, some minor detail that only the most determined eye would ever see that he'll nonetheless insist he can improve, but this is the closest Vayne has seen him come to being truly satisfied. "There," he says finally, tests the give of the metal circlet and seems to find it suitable enough, straightening and turning away from the boiling-hot forge. "Well? Don't just stand there. Come closer."
Vayne takes a shaky breath, simply watches Roxis for a second - he has never seen him look so frighteningly beautiful, face shadowed by the flickers of alchemic firelight, the smallest sheen of sweat dampening his forehead and pinkened cheeks, and for a single frozen moment he forgets to move or speak or even breathe; he is shattered from his reverie only when Roxis impatiently shifts his weight and narrows his eyes, the harsh cold note to his voice a streak of ice that cuts not-quite-unpleasantly through the stifling heat. "Did you hear me? I told you to come over here."
"I -I'm sorry." It's empty, embarrassed, and the only thing Vayne can think to say as he moves close.
"Honestly, what has gotten into you..." It could almost be a tone of worry, but Roxis has made it clear from the start that he refuses to play into such things. There is no actual kindness, there is no true friendship - there is only grudging tolerance, only just enough to satisfy his Mana into keeping the pact, and he has more than once made it very, very obvious that there will never be more. It's frankly a bit depressing, but Vayne has long since begun to realize that he can't let it get to him, and he certainly can't let himself hope that it will change. As much as it is his way to wish for improvement, it is Roxis' way to shy away from all but the most distant pretenses of cordiality.
He shakes the thoughts quickly away, however, when he realizes Roxis is holding the circlet before his eyes - it gleams a strange, entrancing bronze, lit by leaping flame, and he puts his fingers shakily up to the shining jewel in the center with a breathy, fascinated noise, never noticing the hint of amusement that flickers behind the lenses of the other alchemist's glasses at his open appreciation. "It's...amazing, Roxis," he says softly, lamely, feeling suddenly as though the words he'd truly like to say just don't exist and never will, empty echoes of weaker sentiments all he can offer in their place. "I'm sure Sulpher's going to love it. He doesn't like all those ribbons Jess and Nikki keep trying to make, he keeps saying he'd rather have something useful, something that can actually take a beating--"
Roxis huffs a laugh, so quiet it could easily be mistaken for the Athanor sighing as its inner heat waxes and wanes like a heartbeat. "Vayne, you truly are an idiot. Don't you remember what I said before?"
"I, uh--" Vayne stammers before he can help it, turns his eyes quickly away, his thoughts racing. He remembers well, Roxis' statement that he'd much rather make a collar for the owner than for the Mana, but even the memory stirs a wicked, traitorous sort of excitement in him that it takes far too much effort to try and force away, and his breath catches before he has a chance to remind himself he's being stupid and overthinking the matter. "I...remember, but..."
"Sulpher. Honestly." Another breath of a laugh, and then Roxis' sweat-touched fingers are on Vayne's chin, tilting his head up, baring his neck. "I could almost envy your innocent idiocy."
Vayne inhales shakily, meaning to speak, but it comes out thin and fragile. "Roxis, I don't..."
"Be silent." Damp skin and metal slide softly round Vayne's neck; the collar is cool, a refreshing kiss against his hot skin, and the brush of Roxis' fingers as they fasten the shimmering band is electric, sending a skittering of sparks through what seems like every nerve in his body, leaving his knees weak and his eyes wide and his breath trembling in startled, helpless gasps in his chest - he feels as if he might faint, his head spinning wildly, and he nearly gives in to the urge before the hands pull away and leave only the heavy press of metal to his throat. "There. Was that really so difficult?"
He swallows hard, tries to speak - the collar shifts with the motion, and an entirely new wave of sensation races through his body. "N...no..."
"It suits you." Roxis may as well be stating the weather for as matter-of-fact as his voice is, but a strange light gleams in his eyes that turns his tone into something dark and possessive. "Perhaps more than you know. Obedient to the end, trying so very hard to make everyone happy - seriously, Vayne, sometimes I really do wonder if you're a person or a pet."
"...Do you want me...to be your pet?" The words come out before Vayne can stop them; he flushes brilliant red, deeply startled by his own slip of tongue.
Roxis pauses, blinks once - a vague shuttering of eyelids and pale lashes, slow and thoughtful - and then he laughs, out loud this time, the first smile Vayne has ever seen from him touching the corners of his lips with a devilish beauty. "Do you want to be?"
Vayne swallows again. He does; he wants to belong to Roxis, wants to be claimed by him, but such a thing - he knows that, at least for now, he can never, ever allow the agreement to pass his lips. "...Of course not," he says instead, and reddens further, knowing Roxis will see past those words anyway. "It was a stupid question. Just forget it."
"Maybe I will, maybe I won't." The amusement still dances in Roxis' eyes and voice, his smile refusing to fade; he bends his head just slightly, clasping Vayne's chin in his fingers, and the delicate pressure of his mouth on Vayne's seems to last for eternity even as it's over in a split second. "Just for the record," he whispers against trembling lips, his breath hot and needy, "it really does suit you. Don't take it off."
Vayne can say nothing; he can only stand there as Roxis releases him and walks away, leaving him helpless and afraid and so very, incredibly aroused.
When he thinks he can move again, he reaches slowly up, touches his fingers to the metal band.
"Don't take it off."
He swallows slowly, feels it press firm against his throat. I won't.
