HELLO

I'm looking for a few long term roleplays. They'll be story driven, involve smut and character development, and the activity should be relaxed but steady. Like, I can reply weekly and regularly. If you want to or need to take a little longer to reply, I understand. I love dark plots. I prefer my partners to have decent grammar (though I don't expect perfection, of course) and play male/masculine characters. For more information about me, feel free to check out my ons & off, original ideas, and f list. As far as the following plots, if it's a female role, I want it. If both roles are male, then the bolded role's mine. Otherwise, I could go either way. The following plots and pairs will all be based on fairy tales and myths (norse, egyptian, and mostly greek). They can be as loosely based on these stories as we want them to be. My female characters will almost always be submissive. I could go any way (dominant, submissive, switch) with my male characters, but they'll be strictly bottoms. I'm into both m/f (preferred) and m/m pairs. If no setting or genre's specified, or even if a setting is, I'm open to almost anything: modern, fantasy, science fiction, etc. Some content might trigger certain people and I'll try to remember to list them here as they come up: Mentions of incest, violence, death, bestiality but not really, and cannibalism.

TALES

DONKEYSKIN ! Theirs was a whirlwind romance, and then she died. He must have a woman who at least matches the beauty of his late wife, but no such woman exists. Not until her daughter steps into womanhood and he looks upon her, his eyes alight with the beginnings of lunacy and lust. WAS BEAUTY THAT SLAYED THE BEAST ! Her cheeks are blushed and lovely from a good hunt. Ever since her family's fall from grace, she's supported them and kept them fed. Arrogant, free spirited, and wild. When a beast holds her father captive in his great castle, she doesn't wait for her father's return. She goes to slay the beast and rescue her father. It almost works, if only the beast were not so mighty. Here, Beauty and the Beast are somewhat awful. He hasn't quite learned his lesson yet. She can be a slave to her vanity and hedonism. Cynical and suspicious of a promise made by a predatory fairy, Beauty incites the Beast. Together, they hunt down the fairy in order to make her the lift the curse, regardless if he's loved or not. Even if they lift their curse themselves, by their own venomous love, I imagine they'll continue on. For vengeance and glory and the treasures an ancient titan might own. HOOD ! His fur's matted and soaked in blood, from wetting his appetites, taking everything for himself. She's seen him around before, but this's the first time he's shown any interest in her. He's the King of everything she's ever known and he calls this city his own. Anyone who cared about her would tell her to run away, fast as she can, and never look back. But anyone who cares about her is far, far away. Right now, all she has is her gut and her heart, and they're both so pleasantly wild when he comes sniffing around. Urban Fantasy. WICKED ! Goodness and youth won't be enough. Not when up against wisdom and cunning and fate itself. Ella has always lived with broom in hand, with dust settled on her nose and ash smudged across her cheeks. Her hands are rough and calloused from work. Her feet scarred and mangled from laborious walks on far away errands. She can stitch a smock quite well, but hold court with Dukes? The idea makes Tremaine throw her head back in malicious glee, her laugh like dissonant bells. She's a tainted honey comb. Her hands soft like the velvet gloves she collects. Her feet immaculate and just slightly too small for those glass slippers. Powerful people and she have always had an affinity for one another. Kings and Countesses clamor for a seat at her table, for her glimmering wit in their ears. She could be a great queen. She's already a great queen. She need only swan into the royal chambers and receive the crown that's always been meant for her. POSSIBLE PAIRS: The Wicked Stepmother & Prince Charming, A Wicked Stepsister & Prince Charming. CRY WOLF ! This job's important, too important for a clumsy youth, who feels their adulthood like a new anchor. Heavy, frightening. They shouldn't have this job, but the people who should, don't want it and have the authority to toss it off. So, it lands in their lap and they're stuck with it and their own resentment. They play games and tricks and they laugh at the furious scowls. Until they're weeping instead. The danger's come and their cry's called, but it holds no weight anymore. They're light and frightened when the beast arrives, when he laughs at their warnings and grabs them. They're slung over his shoulder and still weeping as he rips their feudal lord's throat out, still weeping and bloodied as he settles into his new castle. POSSIBLE PAIRS: The Girl Who Cried Wolf & The Wolf. The Boy Who Cried Wolf & The Wolf. The Wolf doesn't have to be a wolf. He could just be the leader of an invading force or, whatever. It's open and flexible, like I hope most of my plots are. Also, alternatively, instead of fear and weeping, the youth might feel excitement and exhilaration. I'd be into either/or, to be honest. THROUGH SHADOWED GLASS ! Alice falls through a manhole, but rather than land in sewage and waste, her feet plant themselves in a land of terrible wonder. An underworld city of magic and madness. Ruled by a royal court full of vipers, overseen by two tyrants, ready at any moment to drive a dagger into the other's back. Here, the teeth are sharp and the poisons lovely. Alice has been chosen by the revered Grand Reveler, the Mad Hatter, but for what purpose, she doesn't know. And isn't even sure she wants to know. POSSIBLE PAIRS: Alice Lidell & The Mad Hatter. Alice Lidell & The Knave of Hearts. Alice Lidell & The Queen of Hearts. Alice Lidell & The King of Hearts. The King of Hearts & The White Rabbit. The King of Hearts & The Cheshire Cat. The King of Hearts & The Queen of Hearts. The Knave of Hearts & The Queen of Hearts. The Knave of Hearts & The Cheshire Cat. NEVERLAND ! When Wendy first meets Peter, he frightens her. Behind his bright eyes, there's something missing, or there's too much there. Starlit galaxies, vast and blinding. Deep and bloodied seas. These extra things that no young boy should know. That no young girl should have to bear witness to. But he does know them all, by heart, and she does bear witness, eyes wide. And wet sometimes, by tears. Mother, he calls her, though she's fresh to this old world and new to this ancient boy. The Lost Boys must sneak their own food. Scavenge, even if it means stealing from the nearby tribes. Or hunt, even if it means that brother must run down brother. And when these boys go missing, whether by starvation or a well tossed spear, Peter flies away and finds a new boy. He tosses away their old name and places on their brow, a dead boy's name. Wendy has been here for years and years, and she has known nine Curlies at least. She's been there long enough to join the pirates, to imagine them noble only because their enemy isn't. Long enough to learn she's still a naive, callow girl and there's no grand battle against good and evil. Not here. There's only evil and the lesser evil. And she may never know which is which. Not when Hook feeds the innocent to the sea. Not when Peter drags her back to his fortress and introduces her to the new boys. The replacements of the ones he skinned alive in the rage of her escape. POSSIBLE PAIRS: Wendy Darling & Peter Pan, Wendy Darling & Captain Hook. Tinker Bell & Peter Pan. Wendy Darling & Tinker Bell. IDEAS: Biker Gangs, Post Apocalypse, etc. GOLDEN ! She eats their meals. She sleeps in their bed. And she expects no compensation to be taken? Silly girl. The (two or three) occupants of the secluded home that she ransacked hunt her down and offer her a choice. Bind herself to them, or replace what she's taken and ruined. Her hair to stuff new pillows, her flesh to put in stew, and her skin to cure into leather. After brief deliberation, she chooses the former. MFM or MMFM. Based on Goldilocks & the Three Bears. The two or three men involved can be heterosexual, bisexual, pansexual, etc. Maybe they're a pair or triad, life partners or business partners, brothers or roommates, when she shows up. You can play all the guys or we can look for other role players to join us.

MYTHS

Persephone is having sex in hell. ⸻ LOUISE GLÜCK, P E R S E P H O N E   T H E   W A N D E R E R You are going to break your promise. I understand. And I hold my hands over the ears of my heart, so that I will not hate you.  ⸻ CATHERYNNE M. VALENTE, D E A T H L E S S They look at each other endlessly, endlessly, ⸻ MARGUERITE DURAS, T H E   R A V I S H I N G   O F   L O L   S T E I N THE HARDEST OF HEARTS ! I swore I wouldn't made another request right now, but I got a couple empty slots and I NEED some Hades & Persephone in my life. There are other mythical pairings I like and have interest in, but this one takes priority. I have a terrible craving for them and I want anything from oh, he kinda "abducted" her but not really to like Stockholm Syndrome, to hand in unlovable hand type mess. He could be her Uncle or totally unrelated (the pantheon's kinda ridiculously incestuous; I think Zeus is her Uncle/Father who possibly tried to get with her at least once?) Overall, I would still like Hades to be pretty intense and probably at least a bit dark?  Genres and settings are super flexible. Fantasy (Urban, Historical, High or Low, etc), Science Fiction (Dystopian, Space Opera, Superheroes, etc), and I'm even open to Fandom variations (Tom Riddle paired with Hermione Granger or Bellatrix Lestrange in a much darker interpretation of Persephone, a Star Trek canon or original being dragged into the Mirror Universe, etc) and Real Life settings, as long as we keep it interesting. I think it would be better if they weren't already established and married. I'm open to including THE DEVIL IS A GENTLEMAN ! He is not a kind man, but he is a gentleman. And in his own way, he executes their improper affair with extreme prudence. Her husband is even informed and duly silenced. It should end here. But she is not a kind woman.
