Crueltide (2019)

Credit to [personal profile] for_sorrow for the original post and [personal profile] macrocosmica for the dreamwidth port!

Not every story is pleasant. Not every story has a happy ending, and not all happy endings come without a dark and painful journey. And sometimes, those are the kinds of stories that we really, really want to read.
 
If you're one of the many people interested in either writing or receiving darkfic, then Crueltide is here to devour your soul the Yuletide-extra for you!
 
The short version
  • Read the comments to find people to treat with darkfic.
  • Tag your yuletide darkfic with 'crueltide'
The long version is beneath the cut.


Why Crueltide?
Because darkfic isn't to everyone's taste. By making it easier to identify darkfic prompts and people open to receiving darkfic in yuletide, we can all indulge our preferences without placing undue pressure on our assigned writers or risking gifting unwelcome fics to our recipients. (And also: the name was the least cutesy of those being thrown around in 2014.)

What is darkfic?
Depends on your definition. But here's a (non-exhaustive) list of darker tropes to get you started:
(White text used as some content may be triggering to some - highlight to read.)
Addiction - Amputation - Animal Abuse - Apocalypse - Betrayal - Body Horror - Brainwashing - Cannibalism - Character Death - Child Abuse - Claustrophobia - Conspiracy - Degradation - Disease - Dystopia - Gaslighting - Hauntings - Humiliation - Hypothermia - Insanity - Invasion of Privacy - Lovecraftian Cosmic Horrors - Medical Experimentation - Mind Control - Monsters - Murder - Mutilation - Non-Con - Paranoia - Poisoning - Prison - PTSD - Sadism - Slavery - Suicide - Torture - Unhappy Endings - Violence

Does a darkfic story have to have an unhappy ending/some other specific trope?
No! Not at all. Just because a story is packed with darkfic tropes doesn't mean there's no light at the end of the tunnel.
Also, just because you like one trope, it doesn't mean you like all of them. Feel free to specify your do-not-wants alongside your wants.

Great, how does it work?

-- If you end up writing a darkfic story, just tag it with Crueltide when you upload it to the collection, and that'll help readers find more of what they like. It would also be good to tag any particular tropes you've used, to help readers find/avoid them. That's all you need to do!

-- If you would like to receive a darkfic story in one of the fandoms you've requested in your yuletide sign-up, you can advertise that here by replying to this post. (The template below is merely a suggestion of what to include - the level of detail in prompts/tropes is entirely up to you. But please do limit yourself to fandoms on your Yuletide sign-up - the Yuletide mods need to be sure you get a fic in one of those, and a treat in an unexpected fandom could make that awkward. )

Happy Endings Preferred?: I don't mind them, but I don't need them.
Wanted tropes: Psychological horror, gore, torture (both physical and mental/emotional), PTSD and related issues, trauma recovery (that's actually my favorite thing about dark fic, the fallout and the dealing with that stuff afterwards), kinky sex as an instrument to deal with past trauma, child abuse (if referenced or implied in canon), character death, dystopia and apocalypse, captivity and restraints, body horror (except anything involving eyes), permanent injury (preferably both inflicted and dealt with onscreen), mindfuck and manipulation, unreliable narrator, humiliation and degradation, invasion of privacy, altered perception (for whatever reason) and its consequences, involuntary nudity, coercion, intimacy without love. Incest if it's treated as unhealthy and terrible, soulmates (or most other usually happy tropes) gone wrong, enemies to lovers/lust, power imbalance that is addressed as such and/or skewed in favor of the seemingly weaker party.
Unwanted tropes: I'm picky with consent-related issues, especially when it comes to women -- actually, I'm always pickier when it comes to women, I prefer my guys to do the suffering. Victim blaming, even implied or referenced, is a huge no, though I can be fine with it if the narrative recognizes and acknowledges that the victim isn't actually at fault. Graphic and descriptive non-con is a hard no. Forced nudity and threats of rape or sexual violence, especially in the context of torture, are okay, as long as a rescue happens before said threats are actually followed up on. I don't like feminization of male characters or sexist/gendered slurs, and racism is also a total nope. Please avoid permanent injury. Also, actual slavery, mpreg bestiality, medical experimentation, and anything involving bodily fluids and excrement. I can deal with vomit if it's not graphic, and watersports is okay if it focuses on the desperation and humiliation and not on the fact that it is, well, pissing. Underage below the age of sixteen, and age gaps of more than fifteen years (physically and/or mentally) or with one party below, say, twenty -- meaning, for example, twenty-two and thirty-seven is okay, fifteen and thirty is definitely not. A/B/O is out, so is any kind of kink-based AU universe.

And generally, don't go overboard and keep it in character and in the context of the source fandom, even if you go for an AU.

Unwanted Tropes: Kink-based AUs (sexual slavery in the original universe is fine), pregnancy with any kink-based component

I’m opting in to receive any/all archive warnings.
I have no preference for a happy ending over an unhappy one, but I DNW permanent on-screen death of requested characters (requested characters who died in their canon can be perma-dead from the start, though).

Fandoms:
Novel - Gideon the Ninth (Colum Asht, Silas Octakiseron)
Novel - Scum Villain (Original Liu Mingyan, Liu Qingge)
TV - Guardian (Zhang Shi, Zhao Xinci, Ye Zun, Zhu Jiu)
TV - Ice Fantasy (Ka Suo, Ying Kong Shi)
TV - The Untamed (Lan Jingyi, Lan Qiren, Ouyang Zizhen)
Cartoon - Mo Dao Zu Shi (Jiang Cheng, Jin Ling, Jin Guangyao, Lan Xichen)

excerpts from my likes: bad decisions and poor coping mechanisms • hurt/comfort and whump • body horror • irrational and rational fears • the illusion of choice • social and interpersonal pressures • characters clinging to a sliver of hope • unexpected consequences and compromise • loyalty and morality confusion • zealotry as an aspect of horror • characters who need to believe something is true more than they need it to actually be true • manipulation tactics (well-intentioned or otherwise) • corruption • emotional interdependency • questionably healthy attachments • relationships involving complex layers of positive and negative emotions (especially as a result of forces explicitly within or outside their control) • lima syndrome • repression • obsessive love • dubcon, noncon and coercion • grooming, gaslighting, brainwashing or mind control • incest kink (especially wrestling with pressure to enter into a relationship or a taboo against it. Characters don’t have to be related by blood or related at all to dig into the familial dynamic and get off on it; siblings, cousins, aunts and uncles/nieces and nephews + nonbinary equivalents, as well as more muddled scenarios where one unrelated character is involved with two or more characters who are related are allowed) • embarrassment and humiliation kinks (especially dirty talk, succumbing to or enjoying shameful acts) • kinking on vulnerability • overstim and extreme sensations (masochism, power play, anyone crying-but-into-it)

additional likes: self-loathing, addiction, characters wrestling with trauma, characters losing their grip on reality or behaving in ways that are overtly delusional, characters struggling to gain agency in and over their circumstances, characters trying to suffer in silence (and failing), unrequited feelings and rejection, characters in denial

Full list of likes and DNWs in my letter.

Anthropology from a Pragmatic Point of View - Immanuel Kant (Kant, A Rational Being from Another Planet)
Black Panther: Intergalactic Empire of Wakanda (2018) (Any)
Ancient Phrygian Religion & Lore (Attis, Cybele)
Happy Endings Preferred? I like any type of ending, as long as there is a narrative arc.
Wanted Tropes:
  • kidnapping, torture, one’s fate being outside of your control
  • unspeakable power, eldritch or godly or similar
  • self-sacrifice for partner; watching your partner sacrificing themselves for you.
  • existential horror; mindbreak; being totally broken down and accepting one’s status as an object; grooming, manipulation, gaslighting
  • sinister authority figures taking advantage of power
  • bad ends, bittersweet ends, hopeful ends, as long as there is some sort of arc to the fic.
  • horror that occurs after some sort of reveal--someone wasn't who they seemed or something was radically distorted.
  • ghost stories and urban legends; spooky forests and abandoned ruins; murderous creatures and haunted houses. Creepy rural locations and places a little "outside" the normal sphere. Smelling something wrong in the psychosphere.
  • the dangers of ambition, finding out that there are things more important than knowledge and power
  • madness, self-mutiliation, orgiastic rituals, canibalism.

Unwanted Tropes: none of my DNWs are really darkfic specific, but I'd like those adhered to. They are in my letter!

Fandoms:
13 Reasons Why, Justin, Clay
The dark themes present in the show lend themselves to some of the darkfic tropes - I'm okay with Bryce making an appearance as some kind of negative energy/bad memory/ghost from Clay's POV. Or maybe Justin is trying to come to terms with his and Bryce's past?

Turn (TV), Caleb, Ben
Caleb and/or Ben dealing with a kidnapping scenario would be interesting.

The Living and the Dead, Nathan, Charlotte
There are a lot of dark themes present in canon that could be explored.

Humans (TV), Leo, Mattie
I think Leo in some type of medical experimentation or kidnapping scenario could be spooky and interesting. Bonus points if Leo doesn't know how to deal with his shame/arousal/confusion and Mattie comes in to help.

The Conjuring, Ed, Lorraine
This lends itself to darkfic! I'm always down to see Ed and/or Lorraine dealing with a messed up monster/demon/ghost.

Happy Endings Preferred?: I'm onboard with partial solutions or bittersweet endings. I also like happy endings.

Wanted tropes: Addiction - Apocalypse - Assassins - Betrayal - Character Death - Conspiracy - Dark Magic - Degradation - Dystopia - Gaslighting - Hauntings - Humiliation - Lovecraftian Cosmic Horrors - Masochism - Medical Experimentation - Mind Control - Monsters - Murder - Prison - PTSD - Sadism - Violence/Physical Fights

Unwanted tropes: Amputation - Animal Abuse - Body Horror - Brainwashing - Cannibalism - Child Abuse described in detail (past abuse is okay) - Insanity - Mutilation - Non-Con - Paranoia - Poisoning

Man In An Orange Shirt (TV) — Michael Berryman/Thomas March
Rocketman (2019) — Elton John/John Reid
Sirens (UK) — Ashley Greenwick/Various
The Lighthouse (2019) — Thomas Wake/Ephraim Winslow
Westworld (TV) — Logan Delos/Various

Happy Endings to a degree are appreciated for Man In An Orange Shirt, Sirens, & Westworld; the others can go either way. My favorite sort of ending is happy but fucked up; if the character has some version of what they want even if the situation is twited/objectivly fucked up beyond belief, that's a happy ending in my book! Unwanted Tropes are permanent character death, noncon where one/both parties hate the sex, torture, humiliation that is kinked on (I'd rather it be more in the self-hate arena than embarrassment), & infidelity.

Below are some trope suggestions that I think would work with the fandom, and prompts to go with them. If you can think of something similar or that fits the vibe, please write it!

Man in An Orange Shirt
Amnesia ⦁ Causing Hurt, Forcing Comfort ⦁ Character(s) Are Dead and Don’t Know It ⦁ Sexual. Coercion ⦁ Stalking ⦁ Sabotaging Romantic Interest’s Relationships ⦁ Unhealthy Relationships ⦁ Underage

They get into a fight and Michael takes a hit to the head that has him losing his memory; Thomas takes him to the cabin — it isn't long before Flora assumes he finally left her and then Michael is all his ⦁ Michael keeps ruining Thomas' relationships so that he has to be with him ⦁ The love between them turns dark and obsessive ⦁ Sometimes Thomas shows up wanting sex — and only sex — and Michael doesn't have it in him to say no, even though coming so close to having Thomas the way he wants kills him inside
Sirens
Codependency ⦁ Coercion ⦁ Dark Character ⦁ Dubious Consent ⦁ Dubcon Threesome ⦁ Emotional Manipulation ⦁ Forced Bonds ⦁ Manipulation ⦁ Power Imbalance ⦁ Tricked into D/S ⦁ Unhealthy Coping Mechanisms ⦁ Underage ⦁ Unhealthy Relationships

Ashley gets his eyes set on a man and won't stop until they're his ⦁ Manipulating the men in his life through sex/his looks ⦁ Back in sixth form, Ashley crushed on a teacher; it was surprisingly easy to get him into bed
Rocketman

Fandoms: Airwolf,
State Farm "She Shed" Commercial
Happy Endings Preferred?: don't mind

Airwolf:
In canon, Michael has been blown up, tortured, brainwashed and drugged into attempting to kill his superior, all within the span of three years. That's got to leave a few demons, particularly ones that he's really not in a position where he can admit to them. PTSD? Nightmares? Perhaps some seriously unhealthy coping mechanisms? Caitlin's been through some things herself, including having a bomb strapped to her. I could easily see her picking up on there being something wrong with Michael. I'd love any sort of take on that, from a gen version up to and including kink (bondage, blood play, pain play?)

State Farm "She Shed" Commercial

There are various videos on youtube dissecting this commercial, and the prevailing theory is that the husband torched the shed. Going with that theory, why did he burn down her shed? Did she do something to his man-cave? Is she ignoring him in favor of arts and crafts? Do they just hate one another?

For this fandom, I'd love to see a "war" between the two, with an increasing level of malice and/or destruction. Feel free to take it in either a humorous or serious direction. Pretty much anything goes, up to and including burning the house down or hiring a hitman to take out the spouse.

Fandoms: The Turn Of The Screw - Henry James (Miles, Flora); Mary Reilly - Valerie Martin (Mary Reilly); The Little Stranger - Sarah Waters (Caroline, Roderick); The Terror AMC (Cornelius Hickey)
Happy Endings Preferred?: no preference
Wanted tropes: psychological horror, gothic horror, ghosts, trauma/PTSD, corruption, power plays, claustrophobia, guilt, violation of personal boundaries, self-doubt, paranoia, malignant environments/objects/locations, survivor's guilt, exhaustion, whump, murder, consent issues and dubcon/noncon.

The Terror: S1 of this show was written with an eye to when the story tips over for each character from an adventure story to a horror story, and it really shows -- but with Hickey, his story seems to have been a horror story from the beginning. Hickey vs. monsters (vampires, malicious European-style spirits, John Carpenter-style body horror beasties) or Hickey + human monstrosity -- cruel bargains, pet sociopathy, cannibalism, body horror, dubcon/noncon with Hickey as both victim or assailant, before/during/after the timeframe of canon.
Turn of the Screw: So we mostly get horror from the POVs of the second governess and of Mrs. Grose, but the haunting at Bly must be an altogether experience for its two youngest residents. I'd love double-barrel horror dealing with on the one hand ambiguous spiritual manifestations/spooky but familiar locations/absolute isolation and abandonment by the children's guardian, and on the other, the potentially very real banal horror of witnessing and being subject to whatever Quint might have done in life. I'd love anything where the children are differently attuned to the house than the governess is, or where they do in fact have a private knowledge of weird shit going on that they're withholding for their own reasons.
Mary Reilly: Mary is my favorite traumatized woobie of yore and I would love anything with her dealing with the truth of her master's experiments and the threatening figure of her master's protege/alter ego. I'd love a pitch-black exploration of her crushing dedication to service, or a look at what Mary's own darker half might desire, or a story about slow but sure corruption whether at the hands of Mary's master or his man.
The Little Stranger: The gothic horrors of Hundreds Hall have melded to a degree with the horrors of war and the palpable forces of Faraday's class resentment -- I'd love any dark/bleak look at the siblings' past, present, and future with these dark forces or a horror/supernatural tale set during wartime, understood through a similar lens of then-contemporary parapsychology and social tension. More unlikely-gothic-heroine horrors for Caroline and Roderick, bumping off Faraday, creeping dread.

Unwanted tropes: apocalyptic/post-apocalyptic fic, graphic animal harm, self-harm, pregnancy horror, omegaverse, slavefic. I'm interested in darkfic dealing with the child abuse/CSA themes perceptible in both Mary Reilly and The Turn of the Screw as well as general Victorian/Edwardian childhood misery for all fandoms, but I don't want to read scenes of onscreen child abuse and I would prefer no fic centered on Mary Reilly's father or Quint. Backstory fic where either man is simply present and a player in the fic's events are fine, as is anything with the consequences of abuse, lasting trauma, or 19th century attitudes about abuse. I'm also not interested in the trope of the seductive child character except as a clear consequence of trauma.

The Marriage of Aphrodite and Hephaestus (Greek Mythology)
Moby Dick - Herman Melville

Happy Endings Preferred?: Don't mind

Wanted tropes:
Amputation, castration, degradation, PTSD, medical experimentation, mutilation, torture and non-con.

Basically, my ideal fanfic looks like this: 'a character undergoes some kind of extreme suffering, during or after which they make witty banter, while someone takes care of them. Or they take care of the other person, even though the other person has undergone less extreme suffering.' It is seriously embarrassing how many of the fics I've loved (or written) could be summarised that way. I think it counts as Crueltide, because the more extreme the suffering, the better, in my opinion. (And if you want to take that as a challenge, I love you already.)

Unwanted tropes: None of them are DNWs for me, but I'm not very interested in stories where animal abuse is a major feature, or child abuse, unless it's exploring how an adult character has reacted to being abused as a child.
