Hello my fellow roleplayers!

So, I'm looking for some story driven plots with smut included. I'll tell you a little more about what kind of themes and such I'm looking for specifically in a bit, but first I have a few requirements:

- I don't do one-liners. I write a minimum of approximately 400 words, so I hope you can keep up with that (I can go 1000+ words as well, so feel free to write as much as you want)

- Plot is a must. Roleplays that centre mainly around sex tend to get boring quickly.

- Decent grammar, punctuation and spelling. Mistakes and such are fine, but I do like to have a partner who puts some effort into their replies.

- Original characters only. I'm also not going to play any celebrity as my 'character'. I don't mind face-claims, but I'd really prefer if they weren't that famous and widely known celebrities (like Katy Perry, Chris Evans, Johnny Depp etc. whose face everyone knows)

- I'm looking for dominant/top partners (during sex scenes), as playing the dominant role is very uncomfortable for me. I know not everyone likes to have clear cut "roles", but sorry, I only play submissive/bottom characters. That does not mean they're "oh no I'll just stand here and cry and blush and do nothing useful" characters btw.

It's also worth noting that I might not always have the energy to reply every week. Sometimes I can get you several posts per day, more often than not I can reply at least 3-4 times a week, but sometimes it might take me a week or so to write a reply (this also depends on the length of replies). Feel free to poke me if I take more than 5 days without contacting you though!

Anyway, if you feel like you check off the above mentioned requirements and are still interested, let's get down to business!

I'm looking for long-term roleplays, mostly in historical/historical fantasy settings. I can do modern settings as well, but I'd really prefer historical. However, if you have some plot ideas that only work in a modern setting, feel free to pitch them to me anyway :)

Some things that I enjoy in my roleplays:

- Romance

- Drama (and lots of it)

- Arranged marriages

- Role reversal (for example bullied char turning into the one with all the power over the bully)

- Supernatural themes (werewolves, vampires, shapeshifters etc. are all fine by me)

- Historical settings (Medieval, Renaissance, Ancient Greece/Rome/Egypt, Victorian and Regency are my favourites)

- Fake relationships

- Fantasy

- A/B/O dynamics and cross-dressing (of course not mandatory, but if you're into either or even both I'd be very happy about it :p )

Also note before we go into the plots: While I try to go for a certain amount of historical accuracy, it's not the most important thing for me. As long as the feeling and atmosphere of the era is there, I'm good. Also I do like to keep things simple with gay pairings, so my preference for historical settings is that homophobia simply isn't a thing in the world.

Some plot ideas I had:

1) Set in the mid-1800s, right in the middle of Victorian era London, the streets are run by a vicious gang whose leader is the most ruthless criminal mind London has yet seen. They operate on every level of the society, having infiltrated the high society just as the slums of Whitechapel and Spitalfields. They have their fingers in every pocket and control many industries within the ever growing London area, and although some gangs have tried to resist them, any rivalling gangs are eliminated. The rest have to pay a share of their profits to be allowed to operate. However, lately there have been whispers of another gang operating without their permission, a gang committed to not only making profit for themselves, but to help and improve the living conditions of those living in the squalor of the London slums. A gang that's slowly growing in the shadows - a gang the people support. My character (MC) is a young man of humble origins, not wealthy or educated beyond the ability to read, write and count, but street smart enough to keep his head low and his name under the radar. If it were to be revealed he is the leader of this new emerging gang, he knows he'd have a target on his back. His gang has been gaining momentum, support and success lately - MC wants to help the people whose lives aren't seen as worthy of help by those with the means to do so. And if crime is the only way to do it, then it'll have to do. Your character (YC) is one of the higher ranking members of the dominant gang (or if you want, YC could also just be their "business partner" of sorts), already having accumulated wealth and status despite his young age. YC is bored. He is contacted by the leader of the gang to look into this new emerging gang and try to identify the leader - and he's more than happy to. It's been a while since he had anything interesting to do. YC takes an interest in MC and in an impulsive moment decides not to report back when he finds out MC is the leader they've been looking for, instead partnering up secretly with him to see how events will unfold. Where YC was only looking for entertainment, and MC was looking for a business partnership and inside help to get ahead, they find something else that might complicate their futures. Are those feelings I see ahead?

2) Alternative Victorian London street gang plot. MC is the cherished - and sheltered - younger sibling of a gang leader. YC is a high ranking member of their rival gang. By chance they meet, and without knowing who the other is they find themselves getting along. When YC finds out who MC is, he realizes it's a perfect opportunity to extort MC's brother, but finds himself hesitant to use MC for such purposes, having come to enjoy MC's company. It doesn't take long for the leader of YC's gang to find out who YC has been seeing secretly though and orders YC to bring MC in so they can 'question' him for information and use him against MC's brother. While YC manages to convince them not to outright hurt MC, they keep him captive and become increasingly frustrated when MC refuses to speak - only, YC realizes, it's not that he refuses. MC simply knows near nothing about the gang. MC has been placed under YC's care - to make sure he doesn't escape or contact his brother - and with their time spent together they only grow closer. Eventually YC will have to make the choice between MC or the gang.

3) The social season of 1817 (Regency era) is about to begin. The British aristocracy arrive from their mansions and chateaus to the bustling city of London, to socialise, attend balls and musicales and dinner parties, make new business opportunities and most importantly, introduce the charming new debutantes to high society. MC's family expects him to finally marry after years of putting it off. MC is expected to be betrothed by the end of the social season and MC's looks, family's wealth and status ensures a flock of willing prospects, but he isn't keen on the idea of settling down. YC is in much a similar situation himself, finding himself faced with a choice of marriage or losing his inheritance. They are both among the most eligible bachelors, and that status brings with it bloodthirsty mamas and hopeful prospects. Meeting by chance, our characters enter into a faked courtship to regain some peace from the advances of others and to have their families lay off the pressure, at least buying them enough time for each to device a plan of how to untangle themselves from the ropes of impending marriage. Mutual benefit soon turns into friendship and before either realise it, feelings have formed. Still thinking the other does not wish to marry however, they keep their feelings to themselves, but to their horror their families go over their heads and the date of their marriage is agreed upon. Can they convince their families to cancel the wedding, or must they enter into a marriage that the other doesn't want - right? (Of course this plot is open to many side plots, from other suitors entering the scenario, to jealous ex-lovers making an appearance)

4) In Ancient Greece, among the mortal humans lived those who were descendants from gods. Half-human, half-god, the demi-gods are capable of incredible feats no normal human could dream of. In the time of the Peloponnesian War, Sparta has found one in their midst - YC. Sparta is winning largely thanks to YC's gift of leadership and fighting prowess and Athens dispatches MC, their best assassin, to deal with him. Upon arrival to Sparta, it becomes evident immediately that MC only has one shot at this; if the assassination fails and MC is drawn into a fight with YC, he knows he'll fail the mission and lose his life. MC determines the best way to go about it is to get close to YC and once his trust is won, strike when his guard is down. They become friends, and immediately YC's lover is suspicious of MC - the lover needs to go. MC frames YC's lover for a crime she/he certainly did not commit and now with free access to YC, MC seduces him. What he never really counted on was growing feelings for YC himself. That wasn't supposed to happen. Now with feelings involved, MC needs to make a decision: will he stay, switch sides and hope YC does not find out who he is and all that he's done, will he complete his mission and return home as if nothing had happened between them... or will he escape, and leave both of them heartbroken and himself without a place to call home?

5) In the modern world, traveling has become excessively easy, and MC takes advantage of it. It's summer vacation from university and he's traveling around Europe. While visiting his ancestral country he wanders into an old site of the Norse gods and either by a stroke of fate or incredible bad luck, he's transported through time to the time of Vikings. He's soon caught by men who seem to think he's someone else and bring him to their jarl. It turns out MC looks exactly like the son of the jarl, who has run away on the eve of his wedding. No one believes MC when he tries to explain he is not who they were looking for and he's brought back to the husband-to-be; YC. How is he going to survive in this time, married to a man he's only just met, mistaken for the son of a jarl with no clue how anything works. How will he get back home?... Will he get back home at all?

6) Once upon a time our characters were teenagers in love. They had their whole lives planned out, how they'd marry and live together until death do them apart. Then, one day, YC disappeared. Eventually MC came to believe YC had abandoned him, and things only went downhill from there. Upon MC's father's death it was revealed there was nothing left for him to inherit - his father had gambled everything away - and not even with a roof over his head MC was made to survive on his own. He tried everything from theft to selling flowers, but eventually he was forced to work at a whorehouse to earn a living. The only thing he was lucky with was that he was picked up by a whorehouse tending to the needs of the upper class gentlemen; it meant more money and better treatment. YC, on his end, never had meant to abandon MC. He had been sent away to live with his sickly, but wealthy uncle without the chance to say goodbyes. And when he had come back after his uncle's death, MC was already gone. YC's uncle left his entire wealth and all his properties to YC, making him now a truly wealthy man. 10 years has passed since they last saw each other, and YC has a lovely fiancée on his arm now - one YC does not love, but she is lovely none the less - and an empty, lonely hole in his soul. During a weak moment, he visits a whorehouse to momentarily fill that loneliness. That's when he meets someone he thought he would never again see in his life. Has the once bright flame between them been snuffed out by time and the hardships of life, or has it simply waited in cinders to burst into full flame again?

Feel free to suggest your own plots to me as well if you want to ^^ And send me a PM if you find yourself interested!
