I went to read again Daddy's Princess yesterday febore bed aND DISCOVERED THAT THERE WAS ALREADY A SECOND CHAPTER????? OMG, I was so happy!!! (definitely expect my comment) and I wanted to ask some questions.
I don't know if you already have everything planned out or just going with the flow, and I don't know if you're going to write about their relationship more in depth or just throw some lore here and there so:
How did they come up with their dynamic? One caught the other fantasizing about it? How was the first time? Who came up with the nicknames or how did they discovered that they liked it? (especially for Dick, since I've never thought about Jason calling him princess) did they cringed the first time they tried their dynamic?
And on a most serious note, do they have a safe word? Have they ever used it? What happened?
And I don't know if I remember correctly, so correct me if I'm wrong, but I remember a conversation on the server when the whole idea came up, where Dick took advantage of the dynamic as a form of self harm and Jason, when noticed, went with it but acted nothing like Dick wanted to show him that that wasn't what he deserved it, do you plan and writing something like that? I'm asking becasue I see the whole potential of angst and I' love that and I'm so here for it JAJNDKANDF
I gotta say I'm not bringing any of this up to put any pressure on you to write anything at all, and if you were planning to answer some questions already, don’t worry about it (I'd like to find out for myself in due time JANDKJADN)
Sorry for the lot of questions 😔🫶
ahhh hiiiii!!!!
finally getting around to answering this, whew.
okay. first of all, thank you so much for this ask! I love getting asks about my fics in my inbox and I love being asked questions! I eat them up, I swear! AND YES, there is indeed two chapters of Daddy's Princess (and there will be plenty more to come for sure, so keep an eye out!).
so I ran your questions past Eli (aka @bunniesrule6) and we discussed the various responses.
how did Dick and Jason come up with the dynamic? so the general idea we have is that, sometime after getting together, Jason issued a few commands during sex without thinking and Dick responded without thinking. this led them to try a soft scene with Jason domming, and Dick subbing; and then later, Jason sat him down and they properly discussed a contract. one idea we tossed around is that Dick had bad prior experiences, which made it hard for him to express his more submissive side, until Jason came along.
who came up with the nicknames and how did they discover them? so for Dick, being called princess was something they went over during their BDSM contract discussions. they went thru Dick's kinks and desires, and Dick expressed a desire to feel "pretty" and from there, he realized he liked being called princess. for Jason, Dick slipped up during a scene and called him that. he was embarrassed at first, but Jason flowed with it. Jason does call himself Daddy in canon at least once, so we joked that maybe he does it out on patrol and it flips a switch in Dick's mind xD
do they have a safeword? have they ever used it? so, the safe word to begin with was Pinnochio (which I had reasons for). they slowly progressed to using the traffic light system and Dick has two non-verbal safewords (clapping his hands together and a clicker). Pinnochio is probably still their hard safeword but Jason checks in with Dick a lot with the traffic lights (when they're exploring new kinks or if Dick is responding oddly to the scene). as for using it, probably more than once near the start, while they were still learning each other's minds and bodies. Dick tended to feel embarrassed or ashamed of kinks, or get overwhelmed easily so he safeworded during kink exploration; or sometimes he'd try to use the BDSM as a form of punishment, and Jason would safeword to cut the scene short. since you asked tho, it may be relevant in an upcoming chapter.
do you plan on writing a chapter about Dick self-harming with BDSM? yes! you are right, there was a discussion in discord; as a matter of fact, there's a whole thread dedicated to this plot, and you can have a nosy thru it if you want, bc there's a lot of ideas in there and you can find all the deets on upcoming chapters too! (when I get them written).
thank you so much for all the questions! it means a lot that you enjoy this fic so much to actually come and ask them! so if you have anymore, send them in! and feel free to ask Eli (aka @bunniesrule6) any questions as well, bc this whole fic spawned from their brain worm!
