the brothel AU meme

If sex work is the world's oldest profession, then the brothel may be among the world's oldest businesses. The scene could be anywhere: the modern world, a riff on Middle Earth, a futuristic space colony. Wherever you go, there will always be a demand for your services... and whether you're a high-class escort to the elite or the jewel of the slums, it's a living.

How to Play

1. Top level with your preference: sex worker, client, or either
2. Pick your prompt/s and set a scene, or just wing it!
3. Tag around!

Prompts

1. old pro
You're a proper professional with an active client base and a reputation for your skills. Can you leverage that experience to your advantage?

2. newbie
You're new to this profession and still finding your footing. Some clients find that charming, and other workers may take you under their wing.

3. demonstration
This is a special job: you're putting on a show for an audience, or maybe you're showing a new worker the ropes.

4. forbidden love
Sex workers know better than to fall for a client, and clients know better than to fall for a sex worker. Perhaps even more fraught is a relationship between two workers. This time, however... you just can't help yourself.

5. SO experience
Your job isn't just about the sex. You provide the entire girl/boyfriend experience: doting words, public appearances, accepting gifts. And yet, it's just a job... right?

6. something extra
Kink, monsters, transformation, and magic, oh my! There's something a little different about the services you offer.

7. getaway
You're ready to break away from this life, whether it's on your own or with someone you've grown close to.

8. wildcard
Anything goes!

Ash Lynx | Banana Fish | OTA

[jadedlynx]

(ooc | Information, permissions, and warnings can be found here. Kinks can be found here.

The worker. 18 by default, can be aged up. No one under 16, though there's no upper age limit. I'm open to playing it as a straight kink meme, a fluff meme with a sad undercurrent, or a hopeful meme with Ash being rescued.

Yes to: 1, 3, 5, 6, 7, and wildcard options. 4 isn't completely off the table, and your character is welcome to be in love, but Ash is more likely to fall in love with a customer's companion, son, or someone else not there paying for sex. He can fake it, though. )

Yes to: 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, and wildcard options. Newcomer fits Ayase's personality much better so it's best to assume he's currently best for characters who enjoy the purity or shy aspect.)

[brotrips]

(ooc | Information, permissions, and warnings can be found here. Kinks can be found here.

The worker. 20 by default, can be aged up. No one under 16, though there's no upper age limit. I'm open to playing it as a straight kink meme, a fluff meme with a sad undercurrent, or a hopeful meme with Noctis being rescued.

Yes to: 1, 2, 3, 5, 6, 7, and wildcard options. Open to a variety of scenarios, but one of particular interest is Noctis being sold to a brothel after the fall of his kingdom and subsequent capture as he's a prince. )

[masobitch]

[I'm down with the idea you mentioned + newbie. Zdrada here tends to be a masochist/brat, so maybe she notices how he looks like he's upset and got some shit to work through and picks him, then tries to get him to be rough with her by egging him on? Or maybe she realizes he's not comfortable with more rough stuff and opts to try out being a dom for a change?

I'm pretty flexible, so if none of this works I'm open to listen.]

Lorne Pruitt || Original || OTA

[unfriendly_fire]

((fml I told myself no more threads, but then this meme showed up and just goddddammit Lorne is the worker - age 28. Preferred partner 21+ but definitely not younger than 18.))

Archie Andrews | Riverdale | ota

[jersey17]

[ Honestly- either client or sex worker. 1 to 7 all good. ]

Re: Archie Andrews | Riverdale | ota

[girl_next_door]

[OOC: I literally have not watched Riverdale since S1, my Betty draws from comics canon with an assist from Lili Reinhart's face, but! would be up for 2 or 5 with Betty as the worker?]

Holly | Dragalia Lost | M/F or Futa/F

[regenerant]

[Holly as the sex worker - either a chatty and enthusiastic old pro or a more timid newbie. Customers bringing something extra are always appreciated!]

Mai | ATLA | F/M

[maipokerface]

[An old pro worker. Hard no's are feeding, guro, hard BDSM, inflation, vore and watersports. Up for all of these, particularly #6.]

Lily | OC | OTA

[lovemonster]

[info and permissions. a newbie, an old pro or a client, i'm open to them all. she has a tendency to get very obsessive over someone she falls in love with but she'll be happy to sell you the SO experience without the obsession as long as you pay well.]

Vanitas | Vanitas no Carte

[lunebleue]

[ worker ]

william james moriarty | moriarty the patriot

[facioutfacias]

faye valentine. 𝒄𝒐𝒘𝒃𝒐𝒚 𝒃𝒆𝒃𝒐𝒑.

[bountyhead]

( ota, 21+. interested in going wildcard here where she's maybe working undercover as a sex worker - or client! - in order to nab someone but it turns out they're the wrong person. down to get as sexy or silly or both with this as you'd like. )

hawks — mha — m/m

[birdhasfallen]

[worker, please. quirk or quirkless au welcomed.]

caleb widogast | critical role | ota

[blumenthal]

( either role. as the worker, he can play whatever part is required of him, though sex work isn't his primary job within the establishment. he's in charge of keeping the books, taking payment, and making sure the workers get paid in turn. he'll occasionally take clients himself if he happens to catch someone's eye, and probably has at least a couple regulars. he can do magic, also.

as a client, caleb would be looking for someone experienced, and willing to be both sweet and a little rough with him. he just doesn't want to be in charge, essentially. he doesn't do this very often these days.

no characters under 21 in either scenario, please. )

himemiya yuri | prince of stride | m/m

[menkoi]

[ gimme a 5 with some compensated dating, 4 negotiable. 2 could be fun with yuri as the more experienced worker. would love to throw in some crossdressing kink.

cw yuri is a high school senior. ]

yakumo murai | blue period.

[aburae]

( completely open to anything; crosscanon and canon both adored! murai himself is 20 years old, so no one under 18. he can definitely give someone the SO experience but i'd love the idea of him being a pro with a first time client who might be inexperienced/nervy. try to make them comfortable... maybe all they do is cuddle who knows. )

[omiomi]

[love the pro worker/inexperienced first time client angle! sakusa is a volleyball player and went to uni, so you'd think it'd be easy for him to get laid, but he's pretty unsociable and fussy about a lot (especially in regards to cleanliness). this prompt got me thinking maybe sakusa has to hire somebody because he's touch starved but hasn't really connected with anybody on an intimate level. if you don't mind a touch of the picky client angle as well, i'd be really down for playing this out.]

akemi morishita | original | m/m

[cupidite]

( worker! up for anything besides 2 unless he's taking a newbie under his wing, but don't expect him to be a great mentor or anything. )

vasiliy yegorovich ardankin — original character, historical/revenant

[m1895]

[ vasiliy was born in russia in 1910 and spent 1936-1940 as an NKVD interrogator who played a sort of "good cop" caricature meant to convince prisoners it was in their best interest to sign pre-fabricated confessions. he was executed in 1940 after an intra-departmental purge only to wake up unscathed in the middle of nowhere 75 years later. now he's just trying to come to terms with everything that happened and everything he did while working as an EMT in the US in some attempt to start balancing out a cosmic wrong.

i'd be down to play him in 1930s russia or late 2010s america; either way, he's definitely the client and is gonna be weird and awkward about the whole thing. obligatory meme-specific warning for internal monologue featuring mild slutshaming/the taboos and baggage one would expect a citizen of the early soviet union to have about sex work. mostly in it for the lead-in and CR around the client-worker interaction, not that interested in the smut itself.

WARNINGS & PERMISSIONS / MORE INFO ]

mantis | mcu | ota

[innerbeauty]

[ worker at an establishment that caters to a specific clientele; this can manifest either as a business specializing in "exotic" alien species OR, for a nonsexual route, a service promising relief to physic aliments through employees with unique abilities. ie, her ability to manipulate emotions via touch or induce sleep in beings with extreme baggage (i'm big into this vibe rn, especially if the encounters start off platonic and careen off course into an entangled semi-relationship).

which is all to say sex worker AU or companion AU, throw a dart and see where it lands.

sex-based threads also come with ambiguous/inhuman genital options! ]

[masobitch]

[So if you're okay with Zdrada here, I have a scenario in mind.]

[curvish]

( ooc | open to all*, can be either client or worker. no futas. )

adrian | original | ota

[heavenseyes]

( as the worker, a high-class escort who's incredibly experienced. we could play it as him just going undercover or a full-on AU, providing sexual services or healing sessions or a combination of the two. he views his clients as business partners above all but isn't immune to feelings under the right circumstances. really good at selling the SO experience for anyone that wants it but i'm open to any prompt! except 2, unless he's the one taking someone under his wing. )

Nie Huaisang | The Untamed

[eternalgrief]

[bornrussian]

[Partial to her being the worker. Either as an undercover gig or full on AU. But happy to roll with her as the client too. If it's not an undercover thing, it's probably for no-fuss stress-relief because she doesn't have the time or patience to pick up randos at bars and just hope they're good in bed. Also, paying for it means she can be picky and selfish without feelings being hurt.]

[vanity_fair]

( They've had this "arrangement" for years, simple and efficient. It isn't hard for him to find anyone to sleep with– he's drowning in abundance half the time –but there's always complications. A paramour wants more than a one night stand. His staff get harassed. Stories get sold to tabloids and Obie drops a copy of Us Weekly with a badly-photoshopped cover on his desk the next week, and at thirty-four he's still getting lectured about keeping a lid on his exploits.

He's never able to relax, either. Yeah, sure, sex is pretty straightforward, but that's all it is, all it can be, and Tony is intimately aware that he's still the show pony in the situation. He has a reputation to keep, and that reputation doesn't allow for anything but the fulfillment of the same set of expectations, regardless of who's in his bed.

Natasha and Tony have a routine, but nothing about it is routine. Sometimes it's just about the sex, no bells or whistles. Sometimes he wants her to tie him down and break out one of her paddles, until he forgets everything but the anticipation of that next, sweet sting. Sometimes they reverse the dynamic– she's fucking gorgeous in subspace –and he tends carefully to her welts afterward like any good Dom, luxuriating in the strict control he has over her.

Sometimes he just wants to sleep with Nat beside him, without any expectations for anything sexual whatsoever. She knows him, knows what he likes down to the last, intimate detail. Their relationship is purely transactional, and he likes it that way.

Today's a little off-kilter for him, after a week of stress and another looming on the horizon. No parties, no pretty faces, just sober military officials and the stack of conferences and talks all after the other. It's the yearly romancing that comes with contract renewals and weapons demonstrations, a time when everyone wants a piece of him, and even his massively extroverted ego starts flagging under the pressure. At midday, Tony tells Pepper to cancel his lunch with Obie, and promptly drops off everyone's radar.

Thirty-minutes later, he's on his knees and happily ensconced between Nat's thighs, work forgotten, invested solely in her. )
