Help me cast some porn?

[breathedout]

I have a plot bunny (for a certain definition of "plot") which originally arose in my brain out of meta pettiness, but which I've become attached to in its own right, maybe enough to actually write it someday.

However, I need help with the casting. As such, taking suggestions:

What are your favorite fannish F/M pairings to write/read/imagine with a fem!domme/male!sub dynamic?

I could write it as original fiction, but since the original impetus came out of commentary on fannish norms, I'd prefer it to be fanfic.

(If it's useful, other AO3 tags likely to appear on this story: Predicament Bondage, Humiliation Kink, Clothing Disparity. Ideally it would take place in a world modern enough to contain smartphones.)

I've managed to watch three season of Wynonna Earp and read a lot of fic without ever realising ANY OF IT was based in history, or at least the wider mythos of the West. It casts the show into a slight different light. The Doc Holliday mythos as you describe it is captured pretty well by the show, and he's a very appealing character in a lot of ways -- also I feel like the show hasn't actively tried to queer-code him at all, and yet -- he still come across as kind of queer? Which is... interesting. Queer-coding in the source material still coming through in modern portrayals, even when those portrayals contain a lot of queer characters.

Oh that is interesting! It's like queercoding once removed.

In fairness I'm not actually sure to what extent my formative Doc Holliday was even supposed to be queercoded & to what extent I, hungry baby queer in search of fictional models, latched onto him on my own initiative. But I feel like that equation of very articulate, physically not very hardy but mentally sharper than most, a flair for fashion, morally ambiguous, and at home in the demimonde if often meant to add up to some kind of queerness.

Anyway I'm now very interested in Wynnona Earp's take on him!

Wynonna Earp is so deeply indebted to Buffy, imo, that a lot of characters come across as versions of Buffy characters? So Doc Holliday, for me, pings really strongly as Spike -- but possibly Spike kiiind of slots into the queer-coding you're describing -- I feel like the articulate / mentally sharp / flair for fashion / morally ambiguous thing comes up a lot in stories, and we queers immediately latch onto it.
