Treats are enabled and very welcome!
Definitely take these as suggestions rather than requirements. I've tried to be fairly broad with freeforms, so don't feel like you have to stick too closely to any specific one. Combine them, use one as a starting point and go off in another direction, have one appear only very briefly, etc. I am not very picky and I love surprises so would love to see what you come up with! These are just ideas I'm throwing out and I'm sure I'd love anything you create.
Some of these have longer prompts than others, but please don't take that as a sign I don't want them! I've simply been copy+pasting and expanding some of them for longer than others.
I am very open to any genre, from fluff to tragedy to mundane life to horror to smut.
Do not want:
The above is more to give an upper limit of what I would be comfortable with, and I would also love something softer/vanilla. I am fine with any positions and any variation on vaginal/anal/oral sex, and also enjoy reading other sex acts such as intercrural, handjobs/fingering, frottage, sex toys, etc. I have no top/bottom or sub/dom preferences for characters and enjoy any configuration equally.
Opt ins (things I am fine with that people often DNW):
Ansur/The Emperor
Squid fucking or dragon fucking or both! How do they feel about Balduran's change to an illithid? How does it change them or change things for them? Ansur transforming between dragon and dragonborn form -- is that sexy? Tentacles, claws, feelings that are passionate but maybe ill advised, changing over time and with changing bodies. Dragon sex whether Ansur is alive or undead is all good. Perhaps things have to stay mostly in the realm of the mind now. Or maybe they can get tentacling.
Some previously requested freeforms for this ship if you want more inspiration, but no need to stick to these:
Astarion/Raphael
Dragon Age specific Do Not Wants:
-Romantic or sexual Hezenkoss/Emmrich
-Romantic or sexual Ghilan'nain/Elgar'nan
-Any romantic or sexual player character ships (Player characters appearing and platonic relationships are fine, though I would prefer if you stick to the canon last names/default names)
Ashur | The Viper/Tarquin (general)
I'm sooo invested in whatever these guys have going on. Do they know they're in love? Really stupidly oblivious? Pining and unaware the other likes them back? Their devotion to each other and the cause. The fact that Ashur is the Divine, and how that changes and shapes things between them. Their mutual feelings of helplessness to fix things in the world through proper channels and turning to the Shadow Dragons. Idealism vs cynicism. Arguments they've had over the years and making up afterwards. How they finally get together. Fake dating/fake relationship! Quiet moments where they get to relax, for however short a time that lasts. Missions, together or apart and thinking of one another. Blighted Ashur in the save Treviso route and all the angst that entails. (Feel free to get into all the gory details of what being blighted is like for him if that's what you enjoy.) Trying to get Ashur to rest. Ashur doing the Grey Warden joining. The two of them getting into fights, one or both getting injured. PWP is always great. Or knifeplay/woundfucking if you're into that!
I am fine with any gender affirming surgery/genital situation for Tarquin. (No changes, back alley Tevinter bottom surgery, blood magic, fantasy T, whatever)
Darkspawn!Ashur | The Viper/Tarquin
The blight has Ashur and day by day he becomes more and more darkspawn like. Tarquin loving him despitte this, and/or having complicated feelings about it. (Does not have to be fully darkspawn -- I'd also love anywhere on the timeline from him getting blighted to ??? whatever the end is.) Ashur's feelings about his transformation, whether he is fully horrified (as perhaps the fantasy pope might be when faced with his own corruption) or finds aspects of the change that maybe aren't all bad. Going full darkspawn and grappling with how much of him is really left, and how much is just the blight taking over a form that once was the man known as Ashur.
Dragon!Ashur | The Viper/Tarquin
Something something Tevinter is obsessed with dragons and maybe Ashur gets that a bit more literally. Whether a shapechanger or unwillingly altered, deliberate joy and freedom found in the change to something new and different, or horror at becoming something not of his choosing. Sharp claws and sexy fangs and scales etc etc.
Ghilan'nain/Bellara Lutare
Bellara getting a little too fascinated in what's become of the elven gods, perhaps examining a bit too closely. Ghilan'nain getting her tentacles on Bellara -- possibly during the endgame kidnapping, Ghilan'nain getting the chance to do some experimentation. Possibly sexily. Maybe the two finding an odd common ground in their fascination with discovering how the natural world works. Or Bellara getting corrupted to Ghilan'nain's side.
Ghilan'nain/Merrill
Possibly similar to above with Bellara but pull in Merrill instead. How does Merrill respond to all the elven stuff revealed in DATV? It's been a few years since DA2, so how's she changed? Does she think tentacles are sexy?
Ghilan'nain/Johanna Hezenkoss
Mad science time! Tentacles, blight, giant skeletons, unethical spirit experimentation, etc. Are they friendly? Rivals? Think each other's work is sexy? Helping each other? Using each other? Here to have intensely weird tentacle/giant skeleton construct sex? Ghilan'nain suggesting ways to improve the skeleton (more tentacles, more blight...), Hezenkoss suggesting new experiments for Ghilan'nain to create. Hezenkoss claiming to side with Ghilan'nain when it's convenient then betraying her. Or the other way around. Hezenkoss fascinated by the implications of ancient spirits turned elves. Ghilan'nain helping to construct a new pathway to lichdom after the first attempt fails. The two collabing in creating other forms of immortality.
Johanna Hezenkoss/Bellara Lutare
They can both nerd out about the Fade! AU where Bellara has a fade expert contact...who turns out to be Hezenkoss. (Or perhaps is corresponding with both Hezenkoss and Emmrich, not realizing their history.) Party member Hezenkoss who is maybe a little evil but also sexy and she's helping, probably, and also Bellara can't seem to resist her. I also love the banter Bellara gets with Hezenkoss' skull where she can ask questions and Hezenkoss then gives genuine answers. Do things get deeper from there? Does Hezenkoss ever get a body back? Her Hand of Glory used for nefarious (sexy) purposes? Or Bellara who gets seduced to Hezenkoss' side. Half lich sex. They may or may not have a particularly long lasting relationship, but I think it would be fun while it lasts.
(I've talked about them more at length here on tumblr if you want any more prompts/ideas, but totally don't feel obligated to read that or follow any of it if you do.)
Specifically monsterfuckery prompts: skeleton fucking. SKull Hezenkoss or bone construct Hezenkoss, or specific weirdness inherent to being half lich.
Johanna Hezenkoss/Merrill
Honestly I just like both of them and think it would be fun to throw them together. Researching weird forbidden magic together. Long distance penpals. Getting a bit too close and personal with blood magic for anyone else's comfort. Failing lich Hezenkoss somehow coming in contact with Merrill and maybe they can find a solution to Hezenkoss' magic constraints? (And why would Merrill help?) IDK I'm not actually sure what they're doing together but if this speaks to you I believe in your ability to make it work.
Strife/Lich!Emmrich Volkarin
Strife dealing with Emmrich's lich transformation -- does Emmrich talk to him beforehand? Spring new skeleform on him unannounced? Get Strife to be the one to go with him to the lichification as emotional support? Coffin skeleton sex? Older men finding unexpected love (and fucking vigorously about it)... Emmrich who thinks his romancing days are long past completely blindsided by how into Strife he is. Emmrich's sudden eagerness to go wandering around the forest when a sexy guy is involved. We don't get a ton of Strife in the game, and I'd love any sort of peek into his thoughts and feelings on the relationship. Confronting the lich decision, staying together with lich Emmrich and making skeleton sex work (and perhaps the inevitable angst over their new lifespan disparity).
Fisherman/Tentacle Monster
One of them or both of them. Identity issues confronted by monstrousness, identity issues exacerbated by monstrousness. Tentacle monster as the extension of the split in identity. (Totally fine with this going a selfcesty route if you're into combining them.) Endgame tentacle monster tentacling them sexily instead of just pulling them under. Any other random tentacle monster you encounter (or could encounter...feel free to invent new ones!) in the game having a very close encounter with some guys on a boat or an island or wherever. Or perhaps encountering mysterious tentacle cult rituals.
Fisherman/Fish Monster!Scientist
Spoilers for The Iron Rig DLC:
So how about that ending. Scientist goes fishy and then just lives in the Fisherman's boat... Anything about the Fisherman watching/dealing with the Scientist's transformation, or just fishy bliss with two guys (or maybe fish) in a boat. The Scientist's love of fish so perfect and horrible that he becomes one. Go all out on body horror and transformation if you're into that. His past and what he's done for the company. Meeting the Fisherman and their thoughts on each other. And, totally optional, feel free to throw in some tentacles as well if you want to.

Baldur's Gate 3

Minthara Baenre/Slayer!Orin the Red
Very intrigued by their whole thing. Luring Minthara in, mind control. Terrible, abusive, violent, sexy, whatever you want to show with them. Gentle moments in the midst of pain. Lots of pain and violence, as Orin is prone to. Something about them being raised in very specific ways for their positions. Slayer Orin going all monstery and how that affects her and her affection(?) possessiveness(?) whatever feelings you want to involve there.Some previously requested freeforms for this ship if you want more inspiration, but no need to stick to these:

- Xeno
- fleeting moment of unexpected tenderness in the midst of hate sex
- Gore - woundfucking
- Twisted Display of Affection
Astarion/Raphael
Astarion making a sexy deal with Raphael in exchange for information, because what’s having sex with one more person after so many? with Raphael potentially making him regret this, Raphael being absolutely terrible in bed and Astarion trying so hard, or maybe Raphael does know a thing or two, Raphael wanting to add Astarion to his collection, Raphael giving Astarion new scars for [insert reason], gagging one of them after they talk too much and are maybe a little too insufferable, vampire and blood related whatever you can come up with.
I am fine with dragging Haarlep into this as well.
