Here it is! The list of prompts for our very own RotE Kinktober! Text version under the cut!
Rules - FAQ - Prompts explained
A little late, but @tragediegh here's your bonus reward for managing the 31 Kinktober prompts, a doodle of a scene of your beautiful fic Golden Tales From A Honeyed Tongue. Enjoy! ;)
RotE Kinktober, the good, the yummy and the freaky~
This is it! RotE Kinktober, first of its name, is officially over and the collection is closed. The fandom is now made richer with more than 18 works celebrating kink, horniness, pleasure, and sensuality from many angles, be they the pretty, the dark, the joyful, the complex... Not to forget a good amount of romance! I would like to highlight two participants who really gave it their all, @marsskaterboii and @tragediegh, who wrote no less than five (5!) fanfictions each!
In particular, @tragediegh impressively managed to fit all 31 of the prompts in those five works, for a staggering final count of 43 048 words!! Let's give the stage to the author herself for a little Q&A, shall we? :) ~*~
°Was there a prompt that particularly excited you?°
There were several that caught my eye on the prompts list (it was an amazing list, by the way!) but I think the one that really stood out for me was narratophilia. It lent itself so incredibly to several situations I was hoping to write, and particularly to the characters I was wanting to focus on (Fitzloved and narratophila is a legendary combination!)
°Which of your fics turned out to be your favourite, and why?°
I think Golden Tales From A Honeyed Tongue wins this one, and for the most predictable of reasons - I absolutely adore a generous sprinkling of tenderness in my smut! I have such love for all my kinktober fics, but something about really diving into the fraught, tense vulnerability of Fitz and Beloved’s conversation in GTFAHT tugged at my heartstrings as I wrote, and I was deeply pleased with how their banter and chemistry came out for the fic. I’m super proud of it (and them, for kind of using their words for once lmfao!)
°Do you have a writing ritual, something to get you in the flow?°
In an ideal world, I’d make a nice hot cup of tea, curl up on the sofa under low light and listen to some ambient white noise as inspiration washes through me… But tbh, my writing process is more often than not me hunched over my phone frantically typing into my notes app like I'm possessed, usually for 2-5 hours at a shot, depending on how aggressively an idea has sunk its hooks into me. There’s usually still tea involved in that, though. Gotta hydrate!! And that being said, water is also a key component for my writing process as well. Consuming it, walking or sitting by it, listening to it, being near it in general. Something about water really stirs up my creativity! Sometimes I even take a mid-writing brainstorming shower just to really narrow my focus. Works like a charm every time.
°Who are your writing inspirations?°
I’d be remiss not to shout out the incredible author who makes all the playing around in this fictional universe possible to begin with, Robin Hobb herself. I have learned so much about writing as a craft simply from reading her work. I also take quite a bit of inspiration from the late, great Ursula Le Guin and from a personal favorite storyteller of mine, Dr. Martin Shaw, who has been an integral part of my journey into storytelling as an art form! I highly recommend checking his stuff out, if you've not already.
°Is there something you wish you'd written but didn't?°
My ever elusive Fitz/Laudwine fic! Initially, it was my intention to publish it on week four, but it grew quite a bit of plot and ran away from me (and the kink prompt list, haha!) and I ended up putting it on hold until I could more fully flesh it out. But it ended up being a happy turn of events, because in its place I was able to do a quick turn around with Smoke and Mirrors, and that was an absolute blast to write!
°What's the meaning behind your Tumblr and AO3 handles?°
Tragediegh came about the way 90% of the posts I make do - because I thought I was being really really funny 💀it kinda stuck in a major way, though, I'm glad it's what I went with, bc I hate change and I'll probably keep it forever lmfaoooo
ellipsis_truther has a bit more of an actual (ROTE specific!) story behind it - some of my earliest fics revolve around what I like to affectionately call “The Ellipses” - the “So I did,” tent moment, Fitz’s “I have never felt like less of a man that I did so,” justification and the “I tumbled into sleep” Fool’s Quest sweetsleep chapter ending, to be exact. It started out (and remains!) a bit of a lighthearted nod to a few bits of canon that really got my creative juices flowing from imagining all the what ifs that could be crammed into those demure little sentences, and hence, ellipsis_truther was born! ~*~
We also got amazing art from @kaetor and @prophetandcatalyst that hasn't been added to the AO3 collection, but you can see it on their blogs here and here!
Thank you all for your participation! And do check out the AO3 collection if you haven't yet, for all the diverse sexiness that people have contributed, and to give them some love. May we never be wise. 💛
🍁October is over!🍁
But 🔥RotE Kinktober🔥 lives on, if needed! ✨️
If you wish you'd had the time but didn't, got discouraged by a tight deadline or are suddenly struck by late inspiration, the AO3 collection will still remain open for a week or so, and I'll keep an eye on this blog too!
In any case, what a wonderful event, everyone!
A fuller post to come on looking back at it! ;)
Heads up, submissions close this Sunday 9nth (or more accurately, probably on Monday morning UTC+1)!

"Where is that tempting cut of beef you call a manservant?" asks a nobleman. The burgundy he wears today is the same as the burgundy that Lord Golden wore yesterday — and he has tried, with only partial success, to coax his black Buck hair into the same sorts of fat curls as Lord Golden's airy blonde locks. Lord Golden raises an eyebrow, but gives another wave of the hand before dropping it carelessly into his lap. "Oh, he's about."

Happy Kinktober, y'all! Just got this in under the wire. Hope you're all ready for some good, dirty fun. ;) @rotekinktober
Happy final day of Kinktober! 🥂💛
Due to extenuating circumstances, my day 19 - Service fic has unfortunately been quite delayed. Thankfully, not only has @rotekinktober been very understanding but today's prompt is also a sort of free space - which means this fic lives!
With a monster of a wordcount of 22k I decided to split it into two chapters. Both chapters are already up, so fear not! (And, for those interested, chapter 2 is where the sex begins - feel free to skip to it if that's where your fancy takes you.)
“I should have known,” Beloved began in Lord Golden’s haughty drawl, “that FitzChivalry Farseer would be this eager to be on his knees before me.” When Fitz and the Fool find themselves tipsy and alone in the upper reaches of Buckkeep, Fitz must confront the truth of how deeply he has hurt his friend. Desperate to mend the rift between them, Fitz is determined to show the Fool just what their friendship means to him and the lengths he will go to prove it - to the Fool, and to himself.

Using the given prompt list, the highlighted day is the main focus while the kinks with pink hearts next to them have their moment as well. Featuring master / servant and dom / sub dynamics, orgasm control, bodily fluids (spit and come), an oral fixation, Fitz's canon obsession with Beloved's hands, a fun, teasing combination of humiliation and praise, and the Skill-link making a grand reappearance. Tenderness abounds, but so does Fitz being put on his knees and a soft but also not-so-soft dom Beloved. <3 Please remember to mind the tags!
Last day of Kinktober!! Time sure flies!
To celebrate, here is the promised Amber/Kettricken, barely late, and still within the month, woohoo!
To view this in full, and the accompanying piece as well as tiny fic that goes around it, I invite you to go to here! ;)

"...To demand transformation. Obedience. Respect. You understand that impulse some, I think."
I looked aside. "I don't know about that. I heard how you and Chade were bickering over me earlier. I'm a serving man to you both, a tool. What could I possibly know about commanding anyone or anything?"
The knife stilled in the air. "Would you like to learn?" the Fool asked softly. "Learn what?" I returned, just as quietly. My stomach hurt. My groin did, too. "What it is like," the Fool whispered, setting the knife aside and staring across the table at me avidly, "To be obeyed without question. To be the master, not the man-at-arms."
Fitz and Beloved pass a heated and tender night together on the eve of the Prince's quest. Conversation is had, secrets are shared, and even more are guarded jealously.
This week's kinks are highlighted in ✨gold✨

Aaaand rotekinktober continues!! This time for the prompt voyeurism, and who suits the tag better than Chade?
sort of kind of my contribution to @rotekinktober in that i wasn't really looking at the prompts I just wanted to have some fun + one of knight kinktober's prompts for this week is 'codpiece' and i simply couldnt resist. full drawings under the cut & hope that tumblr doesn't kill me
Sooooooooo, you know how sometimes an idea gets away from you?
That’s what happened to me when I saw @rotekinktober ‘s prompt list.
I drew a fair few of the prompts before I could think twice but of course, Tumblr won’t let me share the spicy ones. So here’s the prompts I can actually share.
Brat taming -Malta/Reyn
Service - Burrich/Patience
Findom - Amber/Jek
Corruption - Elliania/Dutiful
Blindfolds - Keffria/Jani
Size difference - Amber/Paragon
Tears - Patience/Burrich/Chivalry
Drunk - Amber/Althea
Impact - Serene/Will
Bindings - Patience/Lacey
In the end I had a bunch of nsfw sketches left over that i can’t post, but eh. It was fun to wonder what pairings I’d assign to each prompt and what I’d have them do.
RotE Kinktober be upon yeh
My second fic (and third fic ever, can you believe it? although, in order of being written it's actually the second), some very tame, sweet and short Fitzloved and narratophilia for you!

Week four already!!! Kinktober is flying by!! 💋🔥💛🔥💋
Lord Golden has finally entered the chat!!!!!!! (along with Master/Servant roleplay, jealousy and possessiveness, dubiously consensual advances from a certain flirty Lord Lalwick, and some ✨ROTE sex pollen✨)
This was a super duper fun one and it came together very unexpectedly (just like Lord Golden and Tom Badgerlock when-) Anyway!!! Enjoy Tom Badgerlock, Damsel in Distress and Lord Golden the unassuming hero swooping to his rescue bc I know I sure did!!!!

"Don't ever touch my servant again. He's mine, do you understand me? And I trust you will make certain anyone else who might be similarly tempted knows exactly what Lord Golden will do to those who try and claim what belongs to him."
When an overeager admirer steps wildly out of bounds and drugs his manservant, Lord Golden must swoop to Tom Badgerlock's defense and deal swift recourse to the offending party, and in the doing, discovers that such a unique rescue mission requires... creative measures be taken.
This week's kinks are in red ❤️ (and due to hosting time constraints, are being published NOT on their proper day of origin. Sorry again @parlerenfleurs plz forgive 🙏)
Hello! I'm sorry for the sudden message, but I had a question and wanted to run it by you beforehand. I have a fic that is definitely meant for day 19, but ~life~ got in the way and my editing of it is running behind. I know you've stated that you'll accept late additions, but I wanted to ask if it would be better for me to wait to post it after October is done so I don't potentially accidentally take away from that day's assigned kink or if it would be okay for me to post it despite it no longer being the 19th? I'm thinking it'll be good to go by the 22nd and it does feature narratophila, but service is definitely the fic's main focus. Either way, I understand! Thank you for your time. (:
Hi! It's fine by me if you want to post it on the 22nd, no worries :)
