K- for the A-Z nsfw tag game >:)
What’re both Jon and Remy’s kinks?
OH BOY THERES A LOT TO MENTION 👀
I’ll make a separate, not totally comprehensive list for both (in no particular order of ‘preferred’ because I am too lazy) but know there will be overlap as I had kinks in mind when developing their relationship given, well, I did/still do have kinktober in mind while writing ‘em. I’ve also probably put way too much thought into each one but hey ho, in general kinks are just kinks I’m just That Guy that likes dissecting the potential psychology behind them.
My traumatised son really likes being praised. He’ll never directly say that’s what he wants/needs to hear from Jon (especially during the come down after an intense sex session) but it’ll have him flustering into a submissive little puddle and/or help lessen the effects of a subdrop pretty damn quick. Remy’s biggest issue is thinking he’s a burden on everyone he cares about, so he soaks up any praise at all like a goddamn sponge. Personal favourite term that’ll have him beneath Jon’s thumb is any flavour of ‘be a good little mouse and do x for me’, it’s a like a sleeper agent activation for him. He just wants to be good and be acknowledged for it, damn it.
Think it goes without saying, but Remy’s habit of being standoffish/lashing out is a defence mechanism he’s developed over years of people abusing and then abandoning him. Him refusing to do something, stubbornly saying ‘make me’, or being all mouthy in general comes from a place of wanting someone to break down his walls even when he’s being a difficult pain in the ass. Honestly it’s probably a subconscious litmus test he does, if nothing else. He wants to be an obedient little lap dog, you just gotta grab the barking street mutt within him by the leash first.
Any sex toy you can imagine, he’s probably used it or had it used on him. Sensory-specific toys in particular are a major turn on for him.
Collars, leashes, snarkily hit with the threat of being muzzled—I think Remy is mildly into pet play for the same reason he’s into brat taming/praise. Deep down he just wants to be taken care of, if that comes in the form of head pats and playful uses of ‘pup’ every now and then too? He’s all for it. I liked one damn puppycore TikTok and now my fyp is flooded with it so ngl that’s where this kink came from.
Hickeys, scratches, bruises, cum marking—anything he can feel beneath his clothes and/or visibly shows he’s owned by someone is so so potent to him. On a personal level, it gives him a sense of belonging and staves off his thornier thoughts for a little while. It also turns him into a confident little shit whenever someone points out a mark and he gets to inform them he got it off ‘The Scarecrow’.
At his core, Remy is such a submissive little fucker once you tame the brat in him. That said, he can switch it up from time to time and does enjoy playing the role of service top when he’s allowed to or when he needs to bribe Jon for something. Very much a soft dom who’ll praise and talk through the whole thing, especially because he adores how embarrassed and flustered Jon gets over it.
As an anarchist, Remy adheres to acab. That said, he’s fucked so many cops and medical staff over the years to survive he’s developed a kink for all types of uniforms. Pairs perfectly with Jon’s medical play so neither of them are complaining.
Oh boy, this one is complicated and still under development. Remy is trans masc but his relationship with gender is so nebulous and complicated, too. Like, he’s very open about being trans and doesn’t care what others think of him, but when it comes to Jon, someone who’s always treated him like a man, I think Remy does get a little kick out of being more feminine around him. Skirts, thigh highs, make-up, wigs—it’s not a kink they engage in often (I actually do have a future chapter in mind where Remy has a major subdrop because of this kink causing a specific trauma to resurface) but when they do? Oh, it truly shows the level of trust and safety he’s developed towards Jon and vice versa. Remy would never explore sissifying himself with anyone else, so the fact he can with Jon and still feel true to himself is significant.
I mean, this one really isn’t a shocker. The both of them were already playing into Doctor/patient dynamics when they met in Blackgate, so Jon whipping out his lab coat and tools of his trade when he’s in the mood for a long session instead of a quick fuck is pretty common. Even better if he can introduce a weaker version of his toxin into it. Do not be surprised if he’s hard from administering T-shots to Remy, too.
Oh yeah, Jonathan ‘the line between fear and arousal is blurred’ Crane turns into a horny bloodhound whenever substances are involved. It doesn’t take much convincing on his part to get Remy to agree to take a huff of fear toxin and out of all substances, obviously, that’s his preferred option, but he isn’t against Remy being drunk or high either. In fact, despite adamantly being against weed for so long, Remy managed to convince him to get high himself once before they fucked and oh boy did that unlock a new turn on for peepaw.
Jon, to me, is a man who requires control so naturally being a dom is something he’s drawn to. His aftercare leaves a lot to be desired and it takes some time before he even cares enough to try, but when he does it’s a shock to him that he does enjoy the sleepy contentment Remy devolves into when he performs aftercare decently. Jon can really go from a Sadist Dom one minute to a Caregiver Dom the next, depending on his mood. If you asked him, he’d deny it but he does get fulfilment out of taking care of Remy and acting as The Wife when they’re alone together. And, despite how he claims ‘daddy kink’ is beneath him, one time Remy called him daddy mid-sex and let’s just say he realised pretty damn quick he doesn’t mind it at all. When it comes Edward, and to a lesser extent Remy, he can give up control on occasion and doesn’t complain when his little mouse decides to take the reins now and again. Remy thinks it’s the most beautiful thing in the world when Jon is totally blissed-out and bleary-eyed after a pegging session, that’s for damn sure.
Peepaw has a breeding kink. Again, Jon is such a freak for control and the primal satisfaction he gets from coming inside his partners unobstructed, especially Remy. I’ve mentioned before that, conceptually, Jon likes the idea of having a child but is too concerned about passing on his ‘bad seed’ genetics to do so. He’s constantly struggling with nature vs nurture, let alone his criminal lifestyle, to actually commit to having one of his own. The both of them are very careful when it comes to birth control to avoid any surprise pregnancies because of that, just the fantasy aspect is what gets them both hot and bothered.
On the opposite end of the spectrum, Jon is one jealous and possessive bastard so marking what’s ‘his’ is a must for him. It’s a running theme for him to lay claim to every freckle on Remy’s body and he’ll sit there for hours dragging his fingers across them and every mark he’s left on him. It especially gets him going when Remy is tied up and too immobile while he’s painting his skin with pretty marks.
