[ptahrrific]

Give me a character or pairing and I will write snippets of ten different alternate universes for it. One line, ten lines, a ficlet if you're lucky.

01. Wild West
02. Cyberpunk
03. Shapeshifters
04. Pirates
05. …In SPACE!!
06. Born Another Gender
07. Schoolfic
08. Police/Firefighters
09. Urban Fantasy
10. Harem

Fandoms I'm up for writing: fake news, Hellsing, Doctor Who, Madoka Magica, Sailor Moon, But I'm A Cat Person, Read or Die, Tek Jansen. (Feel free to suggest an alternate for "IN SPACE" if you ask for a character who's canonically there!)

Re: Ten Olivia/Kristen AUs (6-10)

I'm thinking it's a sex-slave harem rather than a contractee harem, because the angst potential is more delicious that way. There may not be any legal way to free a slave [yet], and Jon would certainly be in open disgrace if he tried it.

Yes, the angst and h/c potential both. Can you truely trust, like, love someone who owns you, even if it's only on paper?

Plus it would have a lot of real world implications. Sam and Jason wouldn't be able to have children, neither of the concubines could marry, or travel without Jon.

Good idea about Sam.

Sleeping in the same kind of rooms as the concubines shows more of a willingness to treat himself no differently from them.

Ah, I see. That's very clever! :) The concubine rooms are fairly comfortable, I hope.

If RL calms down any time soon, there just might be some fanart coming out of this AU. Prompts -- for art as well as fic -- are also welcome!

I hope RL calms down for you soon. You could draw a group portrait of all the correspondents in their harem outfits. Maybe you could be the painter who gets contracted to paint their portrait every year. ;)

Hmm, fic. Id!ficcy:

Sam, as the head concubine is in charge of punishing the others if they break the rules. Olivia does, is punished in a creative way, and Kristin comforts her.

Jon and Stephen start dating for real: moonlight strolls, dancing, little gifts. All is well until Jon's guilt over owning his boyfriend affects his performance in the bed room.


Actual exposition:

Jessica spends a lot of her first month trying to get to know her fellow concubines. She uses bribes, alcohol, and plain old gossiping to get the goods on each person in the household, including Jon, and gains great insight into how the harem functions. Plus some good stories and new friends.

Okay, I shall mull this over and if I come up with any more interesting, I'll get back to you.
