Dear Rare Male Slash Author:

I'm amyfortuna on Ao3. I can't wait to see what you'll come up with for me! I'm already sure I'll love it. Follow your heart and you will undoubtedly make me happy!

What I generally love to see in fanworks:
  • Loyalty and genuine devotion.
  • Meaningful sacrifice.
  • When repressed emotion comes out, especially if it's about love that the character thinks is unrequited but turns out to be requited.
  • A strong sense of love and caring.
  • Hope in the midst of despair.
  • Endearments and affection.
  • Desperate need or longing for love (that is then provided).
  • Rescues from the brink of death.
  • Eucatastrophe (the opposite of catastrophe - a sudden joyous turn in a story).
  • Quarrels and fights, high emotional stakes and risks, passion raging out of control, desperation, and sudden impulses.
  • Canon-divergence AUs and space AUs.
  • Meeting someone for the first time and feeling an instant kinship with them.
  • Loyalty or devotion to a cause or a person.
  • Working together like a well-oiled machine.
  • Battlefield friendships.
  • Enemies working together to defeat a common greater enemy (then figuring out that they aren't really enemies anymore).
  • Admiring someone's skill or competence.


Regarding romance and sex:

I love kink and smut, though of course it is not required for a fic that will make me happy -- write to your own levels of comfort and I'll enjoy it.

For BDSM specifically, I prefer mind or power games to whips and chains, or alternatively, playful experimentation rather than Serious BDSM Is Serious. Dubious consent can also be fun to play with, especially somnophilia or scenarios that involve sex pollen or being forced to have sex by a third party. I love seeing characters so mutually overwhelmed by desire that they can't resist each other.

I have no real boundaries when it comes to kink or sex acts (other than my DNWs) and will happily read anything, though I particularly enjoy: auto-anal and auto-fellatio, rimming, watersports, comeplay of all kinds, nipple sucking (especially ritualised), intercrural sex, frottage (especially clothed frottage including coming in pants), and lovingly described blowjobs. Anal sex is good too, but I prefer it not be considered the be-all and end-all of sex between men.



What I don't want:
  • Extensive torture or fic that's all about mental or physical suffering.
  • Graphic depictions of violence or gore -- mentions of injuries, etc, are okay, vivid descriptions or graphic art are not.
  • Outright rape/noncon depicted graphically (dubcon is very welcome however).
  • Excessive miscommunication, romantic angst, or betrayal of trust.
  • Character bashing.


The Silmarillion & other histories of Middle-earth
  • Tuor/Túrin Turambar

    Perhaps they do stop and speak to each other? Perhaps it's more than just talking? Perhaps Túrin changes course and goes with them to Gondolin, and shenanigans ensue?

  • Maeglin | Lómion/Tuor

    Maeglin hates the mortal that has captured his beautiful cousin's attention. Hates him so much he has to suck him off. And then it keeps happening.

  • Fingon | Findekáno/Finrod Felagund | Findaráto

    Fingon, in the days of the Long Peace, visits Finrod in Nargothrond, and they have cheerful drunken sex that they, actually, don't regret at all in the morning.

  • Orodreth | Arataresto/Túrin Turambar

    Orodreth knows he shouldn't get involved with this ill-fated Man, but he just can't help himself.

  • Daeron/Maglor | Makalaurë

    I strongly headcanon that these two lost musicians found each other at some point, and have been consoling each other to this day. Write about them in the Second or Third Ages, history, or the present day, or even the future, if you like. Hatesex or rough sex would also make me happy (the 'consolation' process can be tough!).

  • Aegnor | Ambaráto/Angrod | Angaráto

    In Dorthonion, Aegnor and Angrod face their last days, surrounded by flame.

  • Celebrimbor | Telperinquar/Maeglin | Lómion

    Maeglin, angry with his father, escapes to the edge of the forest, and finds Celebrimbor, wandering in Himlad. Caught by the weather, they share a night of passion, not realising that they are even related to each other.

  • Fëanor | Curufinwë/Maedhros | Maitimo

    After creating the Silmarils, Fëanor is exhausted, and Maedhros takes care of him in every way.

  • Gildor Inglorion/Maglor | Makalaurë

    Something sweet about their youthful romance and wedding would be so lovely!

  • Fëanor | Curufinwë/Rúmil of Tirion

    Fëanor has come to learn from Rúmil, but ends up teaching him all sorts of things.



The Lord of the Rings
  • Elladan/Elrohir

    They love each other, they want each other, they are the closest either of them will ever get to marrying, now if only they could actually tell each other so.

  • Aragorn | Estel/Gimli (Son of Glóin)/Legolas Greenleaf

    Gimli and Legolas have fallen in love with each other, and Aragorn is happy for them, he really is, though he's sad because he doesn't know if his own Elf will actually come to marry him or not. One beautiful May evening in Minas Tirith, Gimli and Legolas have a proposal for him, one that he accepts for the night.

  • Aragorn | Estel/Halbarad

    Halbarad and Aragorn snatch some rest and comfort with each other as they travel up the Anduin in the Corsair's ships, little knowing it will be the last time.

  • Aragorn | Estel/Denethor II

    Denethor just doesn't understand this Thorongil at all, who he is, why his father trusts him so much, or why he fights so hard for Gondor. He seduces him to try and find some things out.

  • Aragorn | Estel/Elladan/Elrohir

    A young Estel, in the Wild, is taught the ways of life by his two older brothers.



The Chronicles of Narnia
  • Corin/Shasta | Cor

    Corin and Cor's constant fights turn into something more.

  • Caspian/Drinian

    Drinian comforts Caspian after the loss of his wife and son.

  • Caspian/Lord Bern

    "I bought you for your face," Bern says, but what if he only realises the significance of that some time after purchasing his new slave?



Frontier Wolf
  • Alexios Flavius Aquila/Hilarion

    Hilarion and Alexios celebrate the beginning of spring. Well. Hilarion celebrates, and eventually coaxes Alexios into joining him.



The Prince of Silk And Thorns
  • Alar/Garin

    I loved Garin's hair-trigger sensitivity, and would love to see Alar exploit that. Bondage play or honour bondage, Alar learning how to dom without being cruel, Garin learning how to submit without feeling weak. Just lots of love and happiness and fun - they deserve it.



Crossovers
  • Daeron (Silmarillion)/Maglor (Silmarillion)/Methos (Highlander)/Lord Byron (Highlander)

    At some point, all these people were in a band together, I'm absolutely sure of it.

  • Methos (Highlander)/Maglor (Silmarillion)

    The Really Old Guy meets an even older Elf, and shenanigans ensue.

  • Groot (MCU)/Treebeard (Lord of the Rings)

    Groot is flung back in time somehow, and ends up in Middle-earth, in Fangorn Forest. He's an extremely hasty Ent.

  • Loki (MCU)/Maglor (Silmarillion)

    Maglor joins the Avengers as they go up against Loki. All's fair in love and war.

  • Loki (MCU)/Maedhros (Silmarillion)

    Loki travels back in time to try to capture a Silmaril, and meets Maedhros on a clifftop, burning, snarling, and suicidal. He quickly realises that the Elf is at least as important as the Jewel.

  • Caspian X (Narnia)/Maglor (Silmarillion)

    Caspian, at the end of his life, is given more time in our world, and spend it exploring -- he wants to see those upside-down lands for himself! He runs into Maglor, and takes him back to Narnia with him.
