TGT Prompts 

Jealous Darkling 

 

Pre villain reveal, anything where the Darkling hasn’t shown his hand yet and therefore has to hide his obsession and jealousy. If there’s an onscreen relationship he’s jealous of, I prefer it being a Nikolina dynamic. But him being jealous of a friendship Alina has or with her canon but offscreen pining for Mal is fun. I like Malina for its importance to her but also I hate seeing those two characters actually interact lol. What lengths does he go to isolate her? I prefer situations where he does manage to successfully manipulate her and it’s played darkly. 

 

Post villain reveal feel free to have him go nuts. Holding Nikolina prisoner while being horribly jealous of them? Cutting a deal with either or both of them? Or maybe just stalking them through the tether. Merzost mindwipes? Idk go wild! 

 

I like situations where he’s more focused on Alina and Nikolai is more just a bonus— or so he tells himself lol. There’s a lot of potential in terms of post series Nikolai ending up with the throne, ending up with vestiges of the Darkling’s power (if he’s lost them) or ending up with Alina. There’s a lot of bitter “should have been me” potential!  

 

Jealous Nikolai 

 

Nikolai is both unambiguously a protagonist but also framed morally as very close to the Darkling? I love situations that might test his morals. 

 

Maybe demon!Nikolai means he has lower inhibitions and does something reckless in his jealousy. Maybe he handles Alina rejecting him poorly. Maybe he handles it “well” but never stops stalking her. Or maybe they’re in a casual relationship or a marriage of convenience but he’s going nuts because he knows she is still in love with Mal/the Darkling/just doesn’t want him the way he wants her. 

 

Maybe she dies and he teams up with the Darkling to resurrect her… but she has amnesia now and is more open to his overtures. 

 

 

Nikolai Series 

 

Jealous Darkling 

He lost everything!!! So much room to go fucking insane. I don’t think he was weird enough about Alina or Nikolai in RoW and I’d love to see him be more nuts. 

 

Maybe he tries to get Alina’s powers back because she is his balance etc etc. Or maybe AU where he comes back to life through Nikolai. Or Alina killing him results in her taking him as an amplifier and merging with him like Zoya and Juris, and he’s just miserably jealous  of their life, and just them having their own bodies lmao 

 

Jealous Nikolai 

 

Maybe the Darkling is brought back from Tree Hell and doesn’t remember anything and Alina takes him back and Nikolai is jealous? 

 

All my TGT jealous Nikolai prompts also apply here with a higher level of insecurity but being used to having unilateral say on what happens because he’s been king for awhile 

 

Jealous Alina 

 

I usually hate her R&R ending but it’s a great jumping off point for jealousy! Maybe she’s obsessed with Nikolai and the life she could have had. 

 

Maybe she gets pulled back into plot~ and it triggers Longings in her.  

 

Hellsing 

 

Jealous Alucard 

 

I love the implication that Arthur locked Alucard away because he got too obsessive. Love a situation where Alucard wants Integra all to himself, and wants to be the most important person in her life. 

 

Maybe she started dating and he hates it. Maybe she’s just outgrown him and he doesn’t know how to cope. I love takes on their dynamic where he’s very very loyal to her but also just… simultaneously manipulative and awful. He’s a monster! Like he loves to say!

 

In a scenario where he’s jealous about Van Helsing, I enjoy takes that lean into the captor bonding and Stockholm syndrome. Where he is obsessed with that which has destroyed him/becomes almost worshipful etc. 

 

Jealous Integra 

 

Integra being aware that Alucard’s loyalty began with Van Helsing and being jealous of that. Or just being obsessive about the concept that he is *her* monster. He belongs to her.

 

Also the Gonzo subplot where she’s angry about him turning Seras (and the plot where Seras sees them talking and gets mad jealous) lives in my mind rent free. 

 

Jealous Van Helsing 

 

Love obsessive enemies! Or the captor bonding aspect where he starts to feel almost fondly for the monster he holds captive. And just the fucked up depths of their relationship

General Likes: 

 

• Missing Scenes, prequel/sequel to a canon scene or a version where it goes differently 
• Case fic or monster of the week fic, plot heavy stuff, worldbuilding 
• Character studies 
• Focus on character trauma or grief 
• Hurt/Comfort, hurt no comfort, and angst! Feel free to get dark! 
• Obsession, jealousy, darker pining.  
• Cheating, either requested ship cheating together or on each other. Infidelity reveals for drama. Characters sleeping with someone else to get back at each other or in a desperate attempt to make them jealous 
• Characters hurting each other emotionally or physically! Cruelty! Messiness! Betrayals! All this co existing with genuine love and not being able to let each other go 
• Reversible/non permanent body horror, and torture as long as it can be healed, 
• The horrors of immortality, fear of losing loved ones, suicidal ideation and the idea of like “wouldn’t it be nice to just End” 
• Concerning power dynamics, manipulation, mentor/protégée, poor boundaries, characters trying to control each other, codependency, toxic dynamics
• AUs diverging from a particular point in canon, “what if” fic
• Characters loving each other but in different and possibly incompatible ways, unrequited love, one character being catastrophically down bad and the other one just minding their own business, unhealthy devotion, viewing another character as either literally divine or just a stand in for their religion 
• Avoidant characters, being touchy about love and feelings, rejecting love confessions (either because of genuine disinterest, or just because they cannot handle talking about feelings), commitment phobia
• Marriage of convenience, arranged marriage, forced proximity
• Time travel, time loops 

 

Smut Likes 

 

• Couple’s first time together, either very sweet and passionate, or being anxious and uncertain about it, wedding night fic. Having to have sex for the purpose of having heirs in relevant settings (without leaning into breeding kink please!) 
• Supposedly casual sex obviously being very emotional
• Characters hate fucking, things starting from an argument, break up sex, angst, resentful “I hate you but I want you; I hate that I want you” etc 
• Edging, overstimulation, breathplay, bondage, under negotiated kink, D/s dynamics, power exchange, blood play, knife play, body worship, temperature play, wax play, focus on the service element of service topping
• Sex pollen, fuck or die scenarios with an in-universe explanation
• Unnegotiated voyeurism or exhibitionism ie character watches something they’re not meant to see, or another character decides to try to provoke another character rather than it being a planned thing
• Banter, humorous, sweet, or antagonistic. Characters continuing an argument they were having during sex. Making jokes. 
• Proxy sex, one or both characters clearly wishing they were with someone else, maybe the same person. Making a character role play being someone else (or shapeshift/look like them if that’s possible in the source material)
• Morning after, aftercare (or lack thereof), bedsharing, afterglow, the calmer intimacy following having just had sex now that the more frenzied feelings have faded 
• General preference for some realism in terms of prep, acts, and mentions of vague clean up. It doesn’t have to look like a safe sex manual (please no lol) but I’d prefer erring on the side of physically possible/realistic.
