Touch deprived characters 100%.
Magical healing sex basically sounds like an excuse for PWP and I like my plot. It could be a fun oneshot, I’ll have to see if it’s on the AMR prompt list actually. I suppose “fuck or die” is the most extreme version of it but that has consent issues which I run a mile from. If the characters are already together then I guess it’s alright. I suppose it might also be ok if their mental state wasn’t impaired, so they could make their own decisions, but the situation would sort of force them one way so I’m a bit dubious.
I do have on my ideas list a rejected prompt from The Great Rumbelle Blow-off which was “Rumple has a boner that won’t go away until Belle decides to do something about it” but that’s established relationship, so the ‘conflict’ would just be that Rumple was embarrassed to admit the magical mishap and ask for help. An AU scenario could be that say Belle worked for an organisation and had to keep her work secret even from her husband, then there’s a mishap and she gets sex pollen basically. So she needs Gold but how would they explain it to him without revealing the secret? They can’t just send Belle home for Gold to ‘cure’ her as she wouldn’t be acting like herself and he would understandably be concerned.
Anyway I picked touch deprived characters because it’s a chance for sweet loving slow burn romance. Where they support one another, and take their time, and there’s a lot of emotions and they care for each other. It can be angsty, I mean it doesn’t have to be a new relationship, it could be an established relationship but say Gold was imprisoned and kept in solitary for some reason, and then when he’s released they have to rebuild their relationship. Basically there are options and like I said it’s sweet and loving, full of mutual support and that’s very much what I like to read.
