Pollen Exchange Letter
Aug. 2nd, 2019 07:02 pmDear Author, I'm sorry I was a little late with the letter! Everything here is just a suggestion, if you interpreted a freeform differently, going with your version is completely fine! Sex pollen is one of my favorite tropes, so all these variations on that theme were really fun to pick through. I narrowed it down to just my absolute favorites, so I'm looking forward to seeing what you come up with! Combining prompts is also good if you think they would fit well together.
General Likes:
• Fic that takes place in canonverse
• Mpreg, fpreg, and kidfic.
• First times, and tentative new relationships
• Getting together fic
• Hurt/comfort fic
• Injury recovery fic
• Sex pollen, aliens made them do it, fuck or die, and similar tropes
• Rescue missions
• Time loops and time travel, especially to try to prevent something terrible from happening
• I honestly really like it when my faves suffer as long as the ending seems hopeful
DNW:
• Sad or hopeless endings (bittersweet is fine)
• Referring to children as "pups" "kits" or a pregnancy as a "litter" (unless the latter is done jokingly as a response to having multiples)
• Permanent character death (temporary character death, mentions of character death that happened in canon, believing a character to be dead or dying for part of the fic, and killing original or villain characters is all fine)
• Unrequested non-canon het. Adding unrequested pairings to the background is fine as long as they are either canon, M/M or F/F.
• Gender swap/rule 63
• Trans or asexual headcanons
• Furries/werewolves
• Modern/mundane AU
• Daddy kink/infantilization/ageplay
• Poly ships unless requested
• Noncon. (I would not be okay with one half of my ship raping the other half, but I do enjoy when both halves of my ship are forced to have sex by circumstance or a third party, so something like sex pollen or aliens made them do it is totally fine)
• Pee, poop, or vomit in a sexual context (as part of an illness it is fine, just don't try to make it sexy)

Keith/Shiro
For this ship, I don't care what you decide to do with the epilogue as long as Shiro isn't still married at the start of the fic. Anything from "never happened" to "the divorce was final yesterday" is fine.
Aftermath of sex pollen
Mutual pining and forced to deal with it once it all comes to a head! This could be mixed with pretty much any of the other prompts, or left on it's own. Sex pollen is great, but I like to see what happens to the characters once they snap out of it.
Sex pollen aftermath: character is pregnant
It could be either one of them, I'm not picky. The only thing I specifically don't want is trans man pregnancy, any other explanation you want to go with is fine (I like alien biology or clone body alterations that they maybe didn't know about), or you could just handwave it. I'll bet this is quite a surprise! Mutual pining or established relationship is fine.
Breeding Pollen: sex pollen causes otherwise impossible mpreg
Pretty much the same as the prompt above, except now the pollen is the cause of the pregnancy being possible instead of some biological reason.
Sex Pollen As A Quirk of Alien Biology
Maybe only Keith is affected because the pollen only affects Galra.
Sex pollen: only one partner affected
Either one is fine. Either they were the only one exposed, or one is somehow immune. I want the other one to take care of them willingly, please.
pollen only affects characters who were already attracted to each other
This one is pretty self-explanatory. Sex pollen as a convenient (or inconvenient)way to get those feelings out in the open.
Worldbuilding - Use of Sex Pollen in War
Keith and Shiro visit a planet that resisted Galra occupation during the war, only to find out the hard way that they did that by cultivating plant life that neutralizes Galra as a threat due to their reaction to the pollen.
Aliens use sex pollen on characters in their zoo to breed them
Keith and Shiro (and possibly others, but they are the important two here) land on a planet that has not previously had any contact from what they consider alien life. They end up imprisoned in something like that planet's equivalent to Area 51 where they are poked and prodded and generally having a bad time. After a while they are placed together and dosed with sex pollen in an attempt to breed them so that their captors can observe the process. I would strongly prefer an ending where they escape or are rescued (with their baby if the breeding experiment worked and enough time has passed for it to be born)
Yuri on Ice
Katsuki Yuuri/Victor Nikiforov
Breeding Pollen: sex pollen causes otherwise impossible mpreg
Exactly what it says!
Public sex due to sex pollen creates awkwardness with the observers later
Someone saw them, maybe Yuri? Things are awkward now.
Deliberate use of sex pollen as party drug
Sex Pollen is a recreational drug
I lumped these two together because my prompt is the same for either one. Things get pretty crazy at the end of season party.

Mako/Prince Wu
Aftermath of sex pollen
They did the do, and now they have to deal with that. I imagine neither one wants to admit just how into it they really were, at least not unless the other says it first.
Unusual Flower Contains Sex Pollen
It's probably a spirit's fault. A pervy spirit.
Sex pollen aftermath: guilt over getting to consummate believed-to-be-unrequited feelings
Wu seemed to really have a thing for Mako in season 4, but I doubt he thought he'd ever have a chance.
Breeding Pollen: sex pollen causes otherwise impossible mpreg
A spirit is trying to "fix" the population decline that happened in the destruction of Republic City and huge swaths of the Earth Kingdom. Unfortunately that spirit's knowledge of how humans usually work could stand to be a little better... Either of them pregnant would be great, but it would be funnier to me if it was Mako.
Korra/Asami Sato
Breeding Pollen: Sex pollen that always results in pregnancy
Probably some sort of spirit world plot to try to correct some imbalance or something.
Pollen that puts all affected into a dreamworld and the only way out is by dream sex
Do they know this is the way out, or is it just naturally what they end up doing once they find each other? Are they stuck in there for a while, or do they get out almost immediately?
