I might have an idea for ![[community profile]](https://www.dreamwidth.org/img/silk/identity/community.png)
kinked - it will depend on whether or not I can get hardmode finished so that I can start working on it, honestly. I would want to get started as much as possible before the signup period is over, so that I'll know if I can actually finish it.
It would be for Mass Effect 2, and I think I'm leaning toward Liara/Feron for the pairing (although F!Shepard/Thane was the first to come to mind.) It would involve lots of xeno, either way, and probably a long-term D/s relationship, possibly TPE.
That would make more sense for Thane than it would for Feron, though. Feron seems much more independent-minded - he still works for the Shadow Broker, but he's willing to betray him when he finds out that what he's doing is distasteful. Thane, in contrast, would definitely want someone who would basically be in control of his life. Once it was the hanar, and I can see that transferring over to Shepard, considering that he already sees her as an incarnation of one of his goddesses. So if I go with the Liara/Feron idea, it would probably just end up being xeno, and therefore not really all that kinky... I'd have to see what direction it went in when I wrote it.
Thinking about this is making me wonder about the society that the drell have on Kajhe, and their relationship with the hanar. Were they deliberately treated as servants? Or did they develop an attitude of service toward the hanar out of gratitude for them having saved their lives? Did the hanar let the drell choose whether or not to leave, and therefore ended up primarily with the ones that weren't very dominant, while the more aggressive drell refused their offer of "help" and stayed behind to fight their hopeless war?
I get the impression that when they originally saved them, the hanar weren't really trying to gain a race of servants who would obey them, even to the point of doing reprehensible things; they were trying to save the species and make sure that an intelligent race that was willing to play nice with the rest of the galaxy wouldn't die out. (Uplifting them, basically, as the protheans did for the hanar. The hanar probably see that as their religious duty, considering that they basically worship the protheans.) But I do think that they might have been all right with it, and that they do their best to take care of their drell servants. I also wonder how much of Thane's philosophy was his own making - was his division between body and spirit something within the drell philosophy before the hanar came along, or was it something that he and the other drell were taught to make lives under the Compact easier? (And not even as a malignant thing - the hanar could have been honestly trying to make their lives easier.)
This could get pretty creepy, if one thinks about it too hard.
