DEAR SMUT SWAP WRITER
Hi there. Writing a letter for Smut Swap feels slightly more awkward than for Yuletide or other exchanges, in that my id feels rather exposed, but hopefully we have some kinks in common as well as some fandoms. If you do notice certain repeated themes and motifs please don't take that for a failure of imagination; rather a sign that I am a woman of simple and consistent tastes. In any case, thanks for taking me on, and I hope you enjoy the exchange.
I have a tendency to be wordy, so I'm going to try to keep this brief. Let your own muse be the guide for how much plot surrounds the porn, and please feel free to work with the spirit rather than the letter of any prompts, or use anything I suggest to set the mood rather than dictate a plot. I don't want to cramp your style too much, and obviously we may have only matched on a few or even one of these tags, so please just take this as a wish list that you can mix and match from as suits you. Hopefully I've given you somewhere to start.

Apollo/Midnighter
I've just recently read the latest run of Midnighter and the current Midnighter and Apollo, and I loved them both, which is such a great welcome home for an old favourite OTP. I'd enjoy just about anything set in the new timeline, but I'm not hugely wedded to continuity as a whole, so feel free to cherry pick if you need to set up some kind of background/backstory.
1) superpower sex
After all the time I've done in comics and comics adjacent fandoms this is one of my great abiding kinks, and one from which many others flow. Super strength? Endurance? Multiple orgasms/non-existent refractory periods? Creative use of powers and abilities? 100% here for all of it. I'll elucidate further below.
2) anal sex
3) barebacking
No mystery here. I tend to think of Midnighter bottoming more often, but am more than willing to be won over.
4) first time
5) make up/reconciliation sex
6) reunion sex
7) emotional sex
I'd be equally happy with fic set at the beginning of the relationship where they get together for the first time, or later on after the break up and make up.
8) rough sex
9) sleepy sex/morning sex
I can imagine these two having a very varied sexual repertoire that depends on mood, surroundings, stage of relationship, etc. Maybe everything's more tentative after the break up, until finally it isn't anymore and they can let go the way they used to. Or maybe that's the beauty of having figured a few things out; that things don't need to be so fraught all the time. Here for it either way.
10) sex after fighting/battle
Adrenalin fuelled triumphant sex, panicked I almost lost you sex, the whole gamut.
11) size difference
I'm actually not sure what the canonical size difference is any more, the art's changed so much over the years, and Midnighter is no shrinking violet, obviously, but he is only human, albeit enhanced, and Apollo is a hyperclass metahuman. I'm sure there's some fun still to be had here.
12) held down
13) manhandling/shows of athleticism during sex
14) flexibility
15) wall sex
16) marathon sex
17) multiple sex positions
18) fucked raw
I like general aggressive physicality between (almost) evenly matched men who are skilled fighters. I really like the thought of one partner using his full strength to hold the other one down. Shows of athleticism, including hauling/heaving a not small partner around, as well as acrobatic positioning all work too. Apollo’s very strong and Midnighter’s almost certainly flexible so I can see them going at it against a wall (I’m thinking of the ‘climb you like a tree’ incarnation rather than both standing facing it). Marathon sessions that last forever and involve multiple positions, sex acts, orgasms etc are more than welcome. As are the inevitable results in the form of aching, well used bodies lying wrecked in bed after.
19) bodyswap
Handwave (or not, as you choose) a macguffin that switches the guys into each other’s bodies, and treat it as seriously or humorously as you like. Wild sex in each other’s bodies would definitely be a priority, I imagine.
20) role reversal
An exception to my usual rule about strongly preferring canonical settings to AUs. Sunny, good natured Andrew Pulaski becomes the Midnighter, and "Lucas Trent" becomes Apollo. How does their relationship change?
Dick Grayson/Bruce Wayne
I'd very much prefer Dick to be in his early twenties and well into his independent life as Nightwing, please. I have no problem with Bruce angsting, in his Bruce way, about the situation, but please, no suggestion whatsoever that he was secretly lusting after Robin all along. And from Dick's perspective, he had a father and his name was John Grayson. Bruce has been a mentor and a friend and a partner, and now he's a different kind of partner.
I'd really enjoy something set during or after Dick's time as Batman, whether that status shift acts as a catalyst, or whether it was Bruce's "death" that finally brought some sharp realisations, or whatever. Dick's need for independence and Bruce's boundary issues have always been stumbling blocks in their canonical relationship, so anything that touches on that is welcome. Or during/after Dick's time as Grayson, and the changes that must have brought to their partnership. Or anywhere in an unspecified continuity as long as Dick is an adult.
1) anal sex
2) barebacking
No real mystery here, I don't think, but while a majority of fic tends to assume Dick bottoms exclusively in this relationship, I'm not so sure.
3) first time with a guy
4) first time bottoming
Bruce has slept with a million women - or has he; is the playboy reputation all an act? - but this is his first time with a man, whether because he never met another man he was attracted to, or, perhaps more likely, never met another man he trusted. Or perhaps he has had fleeting one night stands, but he's certainly never bottomed before. There's never been anyone he'd trust that much.
5) emotional sex
6) vulnerability
There's so much riding on this relationship, years or even decades of friendship and partnership and family. Both parties are putting themselves on the line here, and it shows.
7) secret relationships/forbidden relationships
If word got out that Bruce Wayne and Dick Grayson are sleeping together it could be awkward. If the wrong people found out Batman and Nightwing are in love it could be catastrophic.
8) manhandling/shows of athleticism during sex
9) size difference
10) held down
11) marathon sex
12) multiple sex positions
13) flexibility
14) wall sex
15) rough sex
16) fucked raw
I really like the thought of one partner in a pair using his full strength to hold the other one down. Strikes me more as the sort of thing Bruce would do, and certainly he's bigger and stronger, but if you’d like to convince me that Dick could do it I am absolutely here for it. Rough sex and manhandling seem like exactly the sort of thing two guys as physical as this would get up to, and I can see the two of them wrestling/battling for dominance/rolling around and switching positions.
Shows of athleticism, including hauling/heaving a partner around, as well as acrobatic positioning all work too. Bruce is strong and Dick’s very flexible so I can certainly see them going at it against a wall (I’m thinking of the ‘climb you like a tree’ incarnation rather than both standing facing it). Marathon sessions that last forever and involve multiple positions, sex acts, orgasms etc are more than welcome. As are the inevitable results in the form of aching, well used bodies lying wrecked in bed after.
17) identity porn
I'm always up for couples with multiple identities playing with them to their very fullest potential. In this case there's no secrets to cause confusion, but Bruce Wayne, Brucie Wayne, Dick Grayson, Officer Dick Grayson, Batman, Nightwing, and Batman II is still a good selection of likely suspects. [DNW: any appearance by Robin; adult identities only.]
18) role reversal
Batman Incorporated and the whole post-Batman RIP status quo was over far too quickly, and I'd like to revisit it or something like it. Dick's Batman now. He's also Damian's father figure and head of the family. It's Bruce that's on the wrong foot for once, trying to find a place for himself in the family and re-forge a partnership that means the world to him.
19) bodyswap
Handwave (or not, as you choose) a macguffin that switches the guys into each other’s bodies, and treat it as seriously or humorously as you like. Wild sex in each other’s bodies would definitely be a priority, I imagine. Well, for Dick, anyway, and I'm sure he could persuade Bruce.
20) prison sex
Any set up whatsoever to get him there - undercover, captured, framed, mistakenly arrested, vague handwave, whatever - but Dick is far too pretty to be left in prison on his own, so Bruce soon follows. [DNW: non con, though I'm fine with the threat of non con from others in this situation.]
Dick Grayson/Jason Todd
I'm a fan of fraternal incest, but Dick and Jay's relationship has varied a lot across years and continuities so feel free to engage with that as much or as little as suits the story you're telling. Please also feel free to cherry pick if you need to set up some kind of background/backstory.
1) anal sex
2) barebacking
3) wet & messy
No real mystery here, I don't think. I don't have a set dynamic in mind either, so go with whatever suits the story best.
4) dominance struggle
5) emotional sex
There's a lot of baggage to be unpacked here, whether it's jealousy, a desire to sully Daddy's golden boy, disagreement/disapproval/disappointment over attitudes to vigilantism and crime fighting, or misreading each other's feelings. There's nothing simple here, and there are certainly strings attached.
6) secret relationships/forbidden relationships
Does Jason even have a public identity these days? Who's that guy that's been seen with the Wayne heir? When/if the rest of the family finds out Dick and Jason are sleeping together it could be awkward. If the wrong people find out Nightwing and Red Hood are in love it could be catastrophic.
7) thank god we're alive sex
Adrenalin rushes, close calls, and narrow escapes. Sure fire recipe for life affirming sex.
8) manhandling/shows of athleticism during sex
9) size difference
10) held down
11) marathon sex
12) multiple sex positions
13) flexibility
14) wall sex
15) rough sex
16) fucked raw
I really like the thought of one partner in an evenly matched pair using his full strength to hold the other one down. Strikes me more as the sort of thing Jason would do, and certainly he's bigger, though not better trained or practised I don't think. Rough sex and manhandling seem like exactly the sort of thing two guys as physical as this would get up to, and I can see the two of them wrestling/battling for dominance/rolling around and switching positions.
Shows of athleticism, including hauling/heaving a partner around, as well as acrobatic positioning all work too.

[DNW: any appearance by Robin; adult identities only.]
18) role reversal
An exception to my usual rule about strongly preferring canonical settings to AUs. What if Jason was youthful Bruce Wayne's ward and Dick the son he adopted later? What if everything else was unchanged but it was Dick that died and came back? What if Bruce left the Batman identity to Jason, or Jason somehow won the battle for the cowl?
19) bodyswap
Handwave (or not, as you choose) a macguffin that switches the guys into each other’s bodies, and treat it as seriously or humorously as you like. Wild sex in each other’s bodies would definitely be a priority, I imagine.
20) prison sex

Good Will Hunting (1997)
Will Hunting/Chuckie Sullivan
I am crazy in love with this movie and this pairing right now, and I can't really explain why it hit so suddenly twenty years down the track, except that I stumbled across it on tv in a hotel room one afternoon last year, and it brought so much flooding back to me about being a student in 1997, and suffice it to say I am heartbroken there isn't more fic for it. Of particular relevance to this exchange there is very little smut indeed, and there should be more!
1) anal sex
2) barebacking
3) drunk sex
No real surprises here. I feel like these two are probably fairly vanilla in their tastes? At least in the beginning. Whether because they start as kids, or because it's a bit of a difficult journey to acknowledge their feelings go beyond friendship, or whatever. I think I'd prefer Will topping. I can imagine alcohol playing a part in mustering up the courage to make the first move, or just good natured drunken shenanigans on a typical Friday night.
4) first time
5) first time bottoming
6) first time with a guy
It's absolutely up to you when you set your fic, and which of these might apply. If they get together as teenagers it may be their first time full stop; if later maybe just first time with a guy. If it's an established relationship maybe it's the first time they graduate to full on anal sex rather than the handjobs/oral they're used to. I'd prefer it to be Chuckie bottoming if so.
7) friends to lovers
8) fuckbuddies to lovers
Again, up to you when your fic is set, but I'm interested in transitions either way. The moment they go from friends to lovers if that's a big change rather than a gradual thing, or if they've been fooling around for a long time the moment when they realise actually this is something real.
9) gay for you
10) internalised homophobia
11) secret relationships/forbidden relationships
It's 1997, they're 21, and they keep fairly masculine company. I can see this being a situation where either or both are uncomfortable with sexuality/identity issues but totally comfortable with each other. Or maybe there's some discomfort and some difficulty adjusting to/acknowledging new feelings. Or maybe they're both fine with it but don't want anyone else to know. Maybe they're not quite as fine as they think.
I went on at considerably more length about why I love this couple in my Yuletide letter, so if you'd like to check that out for background, please feel free.
The Man From UNCLE (2015)
Illya Kuryakin/Napoleon Solo
I'm a huge fan of antagonists falling for each other, so Illya and Napoleon's transition from foes to friends to something more works perfectly for me. I also love a tale of comrades in arms who have a whole other relationship going on at the same time, and the way that that impacts their work, and/or the way the dangers thereof impact said relationship. I love partners who risk life and limb for each other. I like the stress it places on relationships, but also the way those relationships are intensified by omnipresent danger. I like extreme loyalty, and sticking together through thick and thin.
1) anal sex
2) barebacking
3) wet & messy
No real surprises here. I very much prefer Illya topping during anal sex. I think Napoleon is much more confident in himself and more comfortable in his sexuality. I don’t want to see him as a wilting flower or a damsel though. Nothing could be further from the truth.
4) internalised homophobia
5) secret relationships/forbidden relationships
6) thank god we're alive sex
As far as plot goes, I do prefer fic that operates in a vaguely realistic 1960s world. I really do just love the claustrophobic nature of relationships no one else can know about, especially in a canon where life is dangerous. Removing the support network of friends/relatives/colleagues serves to intensify the emotional dependency on each other. I also enjoy a bit of difficulty in coming to terms with feelings that may not initially be welcome, though not excessive self flagellation. Given that dangerous setting I also like the inevitable reactions to facing/narrowly escaping/being about to go into threatening situations.
7) dominance struggle
8) held down
9) manhandling/shows of athleticism during sex
10) wall sex
11) rough sex
12) marathon sex
13) multiple sex positions
14) fucked raw
I like fighting leading to fucking. I like general aggressive physicality between (almost) evenly matched men who are skilled fighters. I really like the thought of one partner using his full strength to hold the other one down. Rough sex and manhandling seem like exactly the sort of thing two guys as physical as this would get up to, and I can see the two of them wrestling/battling for dominance/rolling around and switching positions. I love the thought of Illya manipulating Napoleon into exactly the best positions for the deepest, hardest fucking. I also enjoy the thought of Napoleon making him absolutely work for it.
Shows of athleticism, including hauling/heaving a not small partner around, as well as acrobatic positioning all work too. Illya’s very strong and Napoleon’s almost certainly flexible so I can certainly see them going at it against a wall (I’m thinking of the ‘climb you like a tree’ incarnation rather than both standing facing it). Also, realism aside, marathon sessions that last forever and involve multiple positions, sex acts, orgasms etc are more than welcome. As are the inevitable results in the form of aching, well used bodies lying wrecked in bed after.
15) bodyswap
Handwave (or not, as you choose) a macguffin that switches the guys into each other’s bodies, and treat it as seriously or humorously as you like. Wild sex in each other’s bodies would definitely be a priority, I imagine.
16) prison sex
Some sort of scenario where they find themselves in prison together, whether undercover or as friends and partners arrested together in a third country, or maybe a pre-UNCLE Napoleon gets arrested trying to break into the Hermitage. [DNW: non con, though I'm fine with the threat of non con from others in this situation.]
And a few exceptions to my usual preference for canon-based fic:
17) breakup sex
I don't know where this came from, but it popped into my head and wouldn't let go. Illya's being recalled to Moscow, or UNCLE is disbanding, and it's all over. Angry or sad or anything in between, but definitely emotional. If you want to come up with a happy ending somehow that's fine, but equally if you don't/can't then a bittersweet parting is welcome too. [DNW: any suggestion of infidelity or betrayal; this is a breakup brought about by external factors only.]
18) identity porn
19) enemies with benefits
I’d love any form of mild AU that plays on one or other or both of the guys not knowing each other’s true identity. Meeting up in a bar while both undercover as a non-spy from a neutral country? Yes. One trying to game the other and falling for his own mark? Oh yes. The other one knowing the whole time and just playing along? Yep. One or both being ordered to seduce the other and pulling out all the stops to do it but finding the mark means more to him than the organisation? Hell yeah. Or just two very competent and attractive agents who meet up occasionally in between jobs (or indeed during jobs).
20) alpha bottoming to another alpha (alpha/beta/omega dynamics)
In a vaguely a/b/o world, both Illya and Napoleon are alphas. No omegas, no omega angst, no unnecessary political exploration, just two incredibly hot guys whose sheer physical attractiveness (and maybe loyalty/affection/other charms) trump biology. Battle for dominance or negotiate a compromise. Angst about the forbidden nature of the relationship by all means, and keep it strictly secret, or shout to the heavens that we’re alphas, damn it, and we live a dangerous life, and we do what we goddamn want.
Good luck, dear writer. Hopefully there's something here you can work with. Anything within the general spirit of these prompts would please me very much.
I have a tendency to be wordy, so I'm going to try to keep this brief. Let your own muse be the guide for how much plot surrounds the porn, and please feel free to work with the spirit rather than the letter of any prompts, or use anything I suggest to set the mood rather than dictate a plot.

Shows of athleticism, including hauling/heaving a partner around, as well as acrobatic positioning all work too. Jason’s strong and Dick’s very flexible so I can certainly see them going at it against a wall (I’m thinking of the ‘climb you like a tree’ incarnation rather than both standing facing it). Marathon sessions that last forever and involve multiple positions, sex acts, orgasms etc are more than welcome. As are the inevitable results in the form of aching, well used bodies lying wrecked in bed after.
17) identity porn
I'm always up for couples with multiple identities playing with them to their very fullest potential. In this case there's no secrets to cause confusion, but Dick Grayson, Officer Dick Grayson, Jason Todd, Batman, Nightwing, and Red Hood is still a good selection of likely suspects. [DNW: any appearance by Robin; adult identities only.]
18) role reversal
An exception to my usual rule about strongly preferring canonical settings to AUs. What if Jason was youthful Bruce Wayne's ward and Dick the son he adopted later? What if everything else was unchanged but it was Dick that died and came back? What if Bruce left the Batman identity to Jason, or Jason somehow won the battle for the cowl?
19) bodyswap
Handwave (or not, as you choose) a macguffin that switches the guys into each other’s bodies, and treat it as seriously or humorously as you like. Wild sex in each other’s bodies would definitely be a priority, I imagine.
20) prison sex
Any set up whatsoever to get him there - undercover, captured, framed, mistakenly arrested, vague handwave, whatever - but Dick is far too pretty to be left in prison on his own, so Jason soon follows. [DNW: non con, though I'm fine with the threat of non con from others in this situation.]
Good Will Hunting (1997)
Will Hunting/Chuckie Sullivan
I am crazy in love with this movie and this pairing right now, and I can't really explain why it hit so suddenly twenty years down the track, except that I stumbled across it on tv in a hotel room one afternoon last year, and it brought so much flooding back to me about being a student in 1997, and suffice it to say I am heartbroken there isn't more fic for it. Of particular relevance to this exchange there is very little smut indeed, and there should be more!
1) anal sex
2) barebacking
3) drunk sex
No real surprises here. I feel like these two are probably fairly vanilla in their tastes? At least in the beginning. Whether because they start as kids, or because it's a bit of a difficult journey to acknowledge their feelings go beyond friendship, or whatever. I think I'd prefer Will topping. I can imagine alcohol playing a part in mustering up the courage to make the first move, or just good natured drunken shenanigans on a typical Friday night.
4) first time
5) first time bottoming
6) first time with a guy
It's absolutely up to you when you set your fic, and which of these might apply. If they get together as teenagers it may be their first time full stop; if later maybe just first time with a guy. If it's an established relationship maybe it's the first time they graduate to full on anal sex rather than the handjobs/oral they're used to. I'd prefer it to be Chuckie bottoming if so.
7) friends to lovers
8) fuckbuddies to lovers
Again, up to you when your fic is set, but I'm interested in transitions either way. The moment they go from friends to lovers if that's a big change rather than a gradual thing, or if they've been fooling around for a long time the moment when they realise actually this is something real.
9) gay for you
10) internalised homophobia
11) secret relationships/forbidden relationships
It's 1997, they're 21, and they keep fairly masculine company. I can see this being a situation where either or both are uncomfortable with sexuality/identity issues but totally comfortable with each other. Or maybe there's some discomfort and some difficulty adjusting to/acknowledging new feelings. Or maybe they're both fine with it but don't want anyone else to know. Maybe they're not quite as fine as they think.
I went on at considerably more length about why I love this couple in my Yuletide letter, so if you'd like to check that out for background, please feel free.
The Man From UNCLE (2015)
Illya Kuryakin/Napoleon Solo
I'm a huge fan of antagonists falling for each other, so Illya and Napoleon's transition from foes to friends to something more works perfectly for me. I also love a tale of comrades in arms who have a whole other relationship going on at the same time, and the way that that impacts their work, and/or the way the dangers thereof impact said relationship. I love partners who risk life and limb for each other. I like the stress it places on relationships, but also the way those relationships are intensified by omnipresent danger. I like extreme loyalty, and sticking together through thick and thin.
1) anal sex
2) barebacking
3) wet & messy
No real surprises here. I very much prefer Illya topping during anal sex. I think Napoleon is much more confident in himself and more comfortable in his sexuality. I don’t want to see him as a wilting flower or a damsel though. Nothing could be further from the truth.
4) internalised homophobia
5) secret relationships/forbidden relationships
6) thank god we're alive sex
As far as plot goes, I do prefer fic that operates in a vaguely realistic 1960s world. I really do just love the claustrophobic nature of relationships no one else can know about, especially in a canon where life is dangerous. Removing the support network of friends/relatives/colleagues serves to intensify the emotional dependency on each other. I also enjoy a bit of difficulty in coming to terms with feelings that may not initially be welcome, though not excessive self flagellation. Given that dangerous setting I also like the inevitable reactions to facing/narrowly escaping/being about to go into threatening situations.
7) dominance struggle
8) held down
9) manhandling/shows of athleticism during sex
10) wall sex
11) rough sex
12) marathon sex
13) multiple sex positions
14) fucked raw
I like fighting leading to fucking. I like general aggressive physicality between (almost) evenly matched men who are skilled fighters. I really like the thought of one partner using his full strength to hold the other one down. Rough sex and manhandling seem like exactly the sort of thing two guys as physical as this would get up to, and I can see the two of them wrestling/battling for dominance/rolling around and switching positions. I love the thought of Illya manipulating Napoleon into exactly the best positions for the deepest, hardest fucking. I also enjoy the thought of Napoleon making him absolutely work for it.
Shows of athleticism, including hauling/heaving a not small partner around, as well as acrobatic positioning all work too. Illya’s very strong and Napoleon’s almost certainly flexible so I can certainly see them going at it against a wall (I’m thinking of the ‘climb you like a tree’ incarnation rather than both standing facing it). Also, realism aside, marathon sessions that last forever and involve multiple positions, sex acts, orgasms etc are more than welcome. As are the inevitable results in the form of aching, well used bodies lying wrecked in bed after.
15) bodyswap
Handwave (or not, as you choose) a macguffin that switches the guys into each other’s bodies, and treat it as seriously or humorously as you like. Wild sex in each other’s bodies would definitely be a priority, I imagine.
16) prison sex
Some sort of scenario where they find themselves in prison together, whether undercover or as friends and partners arrested together in a third country, or maybe a pre-UNCLE Napoleon gets arrested trying to break into the Hermitage. [DNW: non con, though I'm fine with the threat of non con from others in this situation.]
And a few exceptions to my usual preference for canon-based fic:
17) breakup sex
I don't know where this came from, but it popped into my head and wouldn't let go. Illya's being recalled to Moscow, or UNCLE is disbanding, and it's all over. Angry or sad or anything in between, but definitely emotional. If you want to come up with a happy ending somehow that's fine, but equally if you don't/can't then a bittersweet parting is welcome too. [DNW: any suggestion of infidelity or betrayal; this is a breakup brought about by external factors only.]
18) identity porn
19) enemies with benefits
I’d love any form of mild AU that plays on one or other or both of the guys not knowing each other’s true identity. Meeting up in a bar while both undercover as a non-spy from a neutral country? Yes. One trying to game the other and falling for his own mark? Oh yes. The other one knowing the whole time and just playing along? Yep. One or both being ordered to seduce the other and pulling out all the stops to do it but finding the mark means more to him than the organisation? Hell yeah. Or just two very competent and attractive agents who meet up occasionally in between jobs (or indeed during jobs).
20) alpha bottoming to another alpha (alpha/beta/omega dynamics)
In a vaguely a/b/o world, both Illya and Napoleon are alphas. No omegas, no omega angst, no unnecessary political exploration, just two incredibly hot guys whose sheer physical attractiveness (and maybe loyalty/affection/other charms) trump biology. Battle for dominance or negotiate a compromise. Angst about the forbidden nature of the relationship by all means, and keep it strictly secret, or shout to the heavens that we’re alphas, damn it, and we live a dangerous life, and we do what we goddamn want.
Good luck, dear writer. Hopefully there's something here you can work with. Anything within the general spirit of these prompts would please me very much.
