Universe: 616
Rating: NC-17
Contains: POTENTIALLY DISTURBING CONTENT. Details in summary, please check if you're squeamish.
Beta: five_ht
Summary: You guys responded so warmly to the fic with the cannibalism, I thought you might like to see my most recent, uh, well, it's a thing. For a kink meme prompt, please highlight to read as summary may also disturb. (skip) "Ever since he stuck the reactor in his chest, Tony Stark has had a secret massive body modification kink. When Arnim Zola leaves him a quadruple amputee, Tony just sees it as an opportunity for robotic limbs, and demands Steve drill holes in his stumps for the prosthetic jacks, which turns Tony on so much he demands Steve fuck the holes too."

Perhaps I am being overly sensitive but could you please put the summary behind a cut because I was dismayed to find it on my friends page and really wish that I had not read it and others might feel the same. It seems very triggery.

[valtyr]

I'm really sorry to have upset you. I've spoiler-warned the summary and noted that it may itself disturb, is that okay?

[fred-god-of.livejournal.com]

Thank you that does help

[valtyr]

No trouble, and I'm sorry again for upsetting you.

Um, whoa. "Filling the Empty Places", what a title. I admire your ability to write about such topics.

I have a huge amputation fear, but I read it anyway. I didn't think it was THAT brutal, but I have read lots of brutal things in my time. I think I'm officially numb to everything.

I'm trying to make positive feedback, sorry if it doesn't come out that way, lol... So, are these topics difficult or challenging to write?

[valtyr]

I realise it's slightly difficult to think of things to say, lol, and thank you for taking the chance on it.

I dunno. I mean, I would never have thought of the prompt myself, but... it's odd, sure, but it's two people doing consensual fun stuff, it's not harmful... so once I got over the initial 'whatnow?' and got my head around it. it was just a case of finding the right way to describe it, you know? I've written noncon Steve/Tony, and that was a lot more challenging because there was a lot of hurt and anger and fear and it was such an alien thing for them. This is, well, it's just sex using an unusual orifice; it's Tony rushing into the new and Steve letting himself be pulled along. It's very familiar dynamics. So it was actually surprisingly easy!

*sneaks in and drops a note*

[shini-k.livejournal.com]

Well, I'll give you one for disturbing content. It is very well written and true to the characters... I could imagine Tony actually doing/wanting this.
And it's still not the most disturbing thing I've read, so there is that as well (lol).

Re: *sneaks in and drops a note*

[valtyr]

Yeah, I was taken aback by the prompt at first, but when you think about it it's not so weird for Tony, is it? I'm glad you felt it rang true.

LOL, there is far worse stuff than this out there. :|

[valtyr]

Thanks, I'm really glad you liked it!

[arysteia.livejournal.com]

Ha ha ha. How did I not guess you wrote this when I read it on the meme? I remember being kinda squicked by the prompt, reading it anyway, and then finding it exactly as you say upthread, surprisingly easy to imagine, and very them, in their own fucked up way. :D

In other news... I think you won my Queensland auction offering... [/is very flattered you wanted it, *g*]

[valtyr]

I've said it before and I'll say it again, if you have to say "Who the hell wrote this," in this fandom, there's a better than one in two chance it was me. ;) Glad you like it!

Oh, I did? I'd totally forgotten about it! :DDD That's awesome. PM me with your charity of choice, or your email if you'd rather chat that way, and I will outline my demands. I mean... we'll discuss things. ¬_¬

[popsongnation.livejournal.com]

Oh my god, that was YOU. I read it on the kinkmeme, and felt guilty about actually liking it. But since it was you, I guess that makes it okay.Somehow. XD

[valtyr]

Ahaha it is now guiltfree. Be absolved. ;) Glad you enjoyed it!

*realise that had my caturday would have been more wholesomely spent if I had spent it with /b/ instead of getting my face hot with this*

I'm at the part now where Steve is sticking it in, and I'm picturing Nick Fury's FACE if he was watching this.

Re: midway through reading empty places

[valtyr]

lol, I'm not quite as bad as /b/! Yeah, I don't think Fury wants to know any of what Steve and Tony get up, much less this. Thanks for commenting!

Re: midway through reading empty places

[hohaiyee.livejournal.com]

and yet, somehow, I fear that reading this just placed me on the FBI's watchlist...

Have you ever written any zombieverse Steve/Tony?

Re: midway through reading empty places

[valtyr]

No - have you read I Love You, I Eat You! by red_savage? It's very good.

Re: midway through reading empty places

[hohaiyee.livejournal.com]

I just did, was that the cannibalism you referred to in the notes?

Re: midway through reading empty places

[valtyr]

No, looks like I only posted that one to the Dreamwidth comm - attempted cannibalism and noncon.

Re: midway through reading empty places

[valtyr]

Er, here if you want to read it.

re: attempted cannibalism

[hohaiyee.livejournal.com]

So Tony didn't actually eat it, good I guess?

Was that the real Jessica Drew or skrull!drew? Either way, she'll want to be off the /planet/.

Re: attempted cannibalism

[valtyr]

It's a small bright spot in a very bad day. :)

I guess continuity-wise it would be Veranke. She must be wondering what the hell she's gotten herself into.
