Hello, citizens! Let's see how this goes.

This is the NSFW section of the meme. The safe for work post is here.

 

Meme Rules:

  • No sex scenes with characters under 17.
  • Also no on screen depictions of rape.
  • Weird kinks are fine.
  • Post your prompt with the characters or ship in the title and the details in the body.
  • You can post anonymous or not, whichever you'd like.
  • Content warnings on fills, please.
  • Fanart, fanfic, or any other kind of creative work all welcome. No minimum word count for fills.
  • Feel free to fill a prompt that's already been filled!
  • Don't repost prompts unless we start a new post.
  • Feel free to post your fills elsewhere as well. If a fill is extremely long you’re welcome to just post it elsewhere and link it in your fill comment.
  • If there's a problem, I'd rather you PM me or take it to the discussion post than start an argument in the comments.
  • Be proper, just and beneficial, citizens.
  • Stick to Ann Leckie's pronouns except for non-Radchaai characters in a non-Radchaai perspective.

 

Questions, suggestions, and general off topic discussion go here.
 

Have fun!

"Okay, people sexually abused the ancillaries, but I'm sure nobody was *weird* about it... right...? ...oh god" is the most Seivarden reaction ever, fuck
That was really good! The implications about the old setup are terrible in a totally believable way, and Seivarden's trying so hard to not fuck up thoughtlessly, and Mercy of Kalr's tendency to bring up subjects by approaching them from weirdass directions ("yes, I'll lead her into watching tacky theme pornography, this seems like the most straightforward way to begin the discussion") And the actual porn is still hilariously plausible.
And no, wait, Seivarden calming herself down by imagining Breq knocking her unconscious is the most Seivarden reaction ever. Oh my god, Seivarden. -op

From AS, Breq talking about Seivarden: "she'd never been one of those officers who'd been inconveniently fixated on the idea of ancillaries and sex."

Which in the context of the rest of that chapter reads to me like Breq saying "at least she never made it weird." :(

I love Mercy of Kalr so much. Like Breq, for most of its existence it was required to invade everyone's privacy all the time while simultaneously having no rights of its own. For such a long time it had to hint -- saying straight out what it wanted to say wasn't an option at all.

And now they're both having to figure out ethics and boundaries and direct communication nearly from scratch, since the human models don't fit their circumstances, and that leads to thought processes like Breq's "Seivarden's physical comfort is no longer my direct responsibility. Seivarden seems to want to have sex with someone. I know, I'll violate Ekalu's privacy by telling Seivarden she's dtf!"

Anyway, I'm so glad you liked it. :D

I got really stuck on that conversation in AS because it really does sound like Breq is saying "lol remember when you used to sexually abuse my spare bodies," I can't read it any other way, and I can believe that young Seivarden would have done it (depending on the general attitude at the time- it's hard to tell from what Breq says if it was considered a perfectly normal side benefit or if there was more of a 'if you're desperate enough to resort to sex with the household appliances we won't stop you' vibe), but also I absolutely can't believe that modern Seivarden would be so chill about it? She's at least a little self-conscious about what an entitled asshole she's been in the past, she's curious about how ancillaries experience sex, she's *actively trying to offer Breq her body in that very conversation*... this would be relevant, highly embarrassing information! At the very least I would expect her to have more of a reaction then "haha yeah"
From: (Anonymous)
not anon you replied to, but same, I can see how that interpretation makes sense but I feel like it would alter their relationship and that scene particularly so much that it doesn't make sense to me. When I read it I decided that 'personal experience' meant Justice of Toren going "you're being more of an asshole than usual to my other officers, do you need an erotic massage" and Seivarden going "I'M FINE, SHIP"

(also because aaaAAAAAAAAAAAAAA nooooo)

Now that you put it that way, maybe I *could* buy it if it was something One Esk had suggested? Like, something which both of them were putting in the same category as offering to bring her tea, or wash her hair in the bath, or lace up her undergarments. Seivarden might consider it one more aspect of her embarrassing past but not something she needed to be *extra* embarrassed about, and Breq might have considered it a regular part of officer maintenance... I'd still expect Seivarden to have more of a reaction to Breq bringing it up, though. idk, maybe it's wishful thinking on my part, i am totally with you on the AUGH NO train here

Alternate theory: Seivarden was having a passionate affair with Sword of Nathtas (this seems at least potentially less awful, no matter what Breq says we don't actually know that it didn't like her- Sword of Atagaris liked *Hetnys*, for God's sake, it's not outside the realm of possibility) and the whole fleet knew about it because they were incredibly unsubtle. "Yeah, you'd know from experience, wouldn't you, we all heard all about you and One Nathtas and your mutual inability to remember to lock doors," Breq mutters into her tea.
