I haven't been able to get in contact with feckless_chaff, but I just realized that the current prompt post is technically supposed to be closed and decided I might as well open the next one. My bad.
Anyway, I don't want to step on toes, but until I can get in touch with the main mod, I guess I'll just ask the comm what they think about an issue

Bonus points if Kendall's been raped or abused in the past and none of the others knew, but his reaction to being touched is a dead giveaway. Super bonus points if Kendall has a flashback and says his rapist' name when he begs them to stop. I am not opposed to Kendall's dad being the one responsible.
I just want the experience to be as traumatic as possible for Kendall. Make it hurt. what in the fuck is wrong with me jfc when did I become such a sadist dear lord i need helptl;dr: James, Carlos, and Logan have to fuck Kendall, who sacrifices his body for the good of the group. Bonus ( ... )

“Just swallow this,” they said.
Something in Kendall’s mind was shrieking that this was wrong, and he would hurt, but the voices were persistent, and Kendall was so tired.
“Good boy,” they said, as he took their pill. It was like a weight was lifted from Kendall, and he awoke.
A new weight came crashing down as he saw his friends sprawled on the ground. Was that a bruise on James’s face? God, they were all bruised. Was he bruised? He couldn’t feel any pain. He couldn’t feel much of anything.
Something was going horribly, horribly wrong. His mind felt like it was wrapped in cotton, and he couldn’t make himself understand this. He needed to understand to fix this. His friends deserved a leader that could fix this.
His friends deserved a leader that wasn’t weakA set of masked figures seemed to mock him as they coaxed his friends to swallow something ( ... )

Oh my God, Kendall! Seriously, the angst in this is incredible. The trust issues are palpable, but subtle, if that makes any sense. I mean, Kendall really doesn't even realize how broken he is. He's so confident that he can fix this, that he'll protect them, but there's doubt underlying it all and this is brilliantly woven together!
And this line broke my heart: Kendall watched the drug coat his friends’ eyes with lust- God, he hoped it was the drug.
So yes, I'm enjoying this a lot. And it's always nice to see new faces (or usernames/icons) in the fandom :)

Thank you for your kind welcome to the fandom. I'm really glad I'm managing to make Kendall's issues so clear. That's the basis for most the angst in this fic, and the whole point of the fic is the angst.
I am having way too much fun making Kendall hurt. Poor Kendall.

Seriously, the whole bit with Kendall actually starting to struggle broke my heart, and just the gradual deterioration of his will is achingly beautiful, the way he keeps telling himself that it's his job to protect them, and how he tries to reassure himself about everything but he can't help but resist anyway.
Also, this line:
If he tried to laugh, he’d cry, and either the guys would notice something was wrong or they wouldn’t. He wasn’t sure which would be worse, at this point.
And this one:
He had never wanted to abandon his friends quite so badly as he did in that moment, even though he couldn't.
Seriously, the angst is AWESOME. Just what I wanted. And props for making James an exhibitionist. Because he totally would be.

The bit about Jo really got me, especially and some days Kendall wonders if his love for Jo is based more on what she isn’t than what she is. And really all of Kendall's self-realizations through out this.
Also, the bit where he rolls over to avoid being pinned, and how that probably makes him appear willing, and just everything about this is breaking my heart. But I like it, so...

Also, I have to warn you that I'm going to be volunteering at a severely understaffed camp for the next two weeks, so there probably won't be another update for a bit. I'm going to try to find some free time to write, but I'm not holding my breath.
