...to my request thread.
If the post title caught your eye, hopefully we have a few things in common—
like a penchant for dark, twisted, steamy stories and decadent drama.

I am a huge fan of all things Gothic, both in aesthetics and story elements.
Romance, horror, mystery, grim settings, the occult...can't get enough of it.

Below, you can glimpse the details of my proclivities, and some of the plots
I've been most craving recently. They're all quite flexible.

Feel free to send me a PM if anything tickles your fancy, or if our interests
are similar enough that you'd like to pitch me a totally new idea!

Full Plots
━━━━━

Note: I'm quite content playing either character in any of these plots.

The Heir

Pairing: Supernatural Stranger x Heir
Setting: Gothic fantasy/Victorian

A mysterious stranger arrives at the family mansion.
Perhaps a tutor for the young heir, or a lost wanderer in the woods,
or someone claiming a distant relation to the family.

But whatever he is, he's not quite human. The heir stays innocent of this fact
until the stranger decides to pursue them, revealing his true nature as he
obsessively courts the heir over time.

Main Themes: Vampires/supernatural, magic, dub-con/non-con, stalking, slow-burn romance.

The Only One (tw: sibling incest)

Pairing: Sibling x Sibling
Alternate Pairing: Step-siblings/childhood friends
Setting: Any

From the day they were born, the twins were inseparable.
Their bond seemed unbreakable, enviously so, and the two grew
so co-dependent that one couldn't possibly imagine life without the other.

Until one sibling mysteriously disappeared.
Naturally, the remaining twin was devastated. Their entire world shattered in an instant.
The long years until they've come of age have seen the solitary sibling change,
growing more isolated and withdrawn, scarred by the loss of their true other half.

But when their long-lost twin suddenly shows up at their doorstep,
how will their bond grow after all this time...?

Main Themes: Platonic to romantic love, (possible) dub-con, incest, jealousy.
Potentially the occult/magic.

A Superior Muse

Pairing: Rival x Rival
Setting: Modern, Victorian, or standard fantasy

Two budding musical performers/composers (or artists/writers, etc.) become entangled
in a fierce, passionate rivalry. They sabotage each other, work themselves to the bone
trying to outperform the other, and stop at no lengths to declare themselves the "winner."

But at the same time, they secretly attend the other performer's concerts, enraptured with the music
as much as they try to hate it, and soon that bitter hatred turns into a far more confusing emotion.

Main Themes: Fighting, revenge, love/hate, jealousy and possessiveness.

The Games of High Society

Pairing: Noble/Royalty x Noble
Setting: Fantasy or historical

A slow (and potentially dark) romance set in a flourishing city,
focused on courtly intrigue, politics, and scandals.

One noble catches the eye of another, who begins to stalk and seduce them
through romantic or coercive means. Perhaps blackmail, a forcibly arranged marriage,
or something darker still. Maybe the target falls in love naturally,
or maybe they aren't given a choice.

May include masquerades, banquets, balls, nighttime balcony seductions,
grand libraries, retreats to the forest, and so on.

Main Themes: Stalking, blackmail, (potentially) dub-con/non-con, seduction.

No Greater Horror

Pairing: Any x Any (but opposites)
Setting: Any

Terrifying rumors are spreading--kidnappings, murders, unholy acts performed in the dead of night.
Some say a dark cult is rising in power, aiming to bring the ancient horrors they revere back to this world.

And it's a most unlikely pair who find themselves at the center of this mess, obligated to stop it.
They couldn't be more different and antagonistic towards one another, but they're given little choice
but to cooperate in order to drive back the cult before it's too late... or else they'll die trying.

Main Themes: Rivalry, love/hate, slow-burn, jealousy, plot twists.

[Here Lies the Abyss]

Back after something of a hiatus! Added a new plot (The Bright Young Things) as well, which I've got a bit of a craving for.

[Here Lies the Abyss]

Bumping after another long break. Currently craving stuff with themes of possessiveness and dark romance~

[Here Lies the Abyss]

Made a huge update today! Adjusted all of my plots to be gender-neutral, as I'm now open to playing with or against female characters. Added in a few new characters (Esther, Camille, Vincent, Elise) and a couple new plots I'm craving in particular (Reunited and Soulbound). Very much seeking a Gothic Victorian/fantasy setting right now.

Bumping after adding/switching around chars, detailed cravings~

Hello! I was wondering if you were still looking for others to rp with? I'm very new to the site and am looking to dive right in.

[Here Lies the Abyss]

Back with some more revisions and updates! Craving anything dark and interesting; feel free to reach out!

[Here Lies the Abyss]

Another bump--unfortunately had to take a lengthy hiatus.

Particularly craving a newly added scenario: A Switch x Switch/power struggle dynamic (A Superior Muse). But perfectly happy to play other plots, especially anything Gothic-flavored. (I'm obsessed.)

[Here Lies the Abyss]

Entire thread revamped, including all the plots!
