that's a good question! i'm sitting here like, have i even read or seen any empgold? what tropes ARE used in it? lmao.

i just read a really good empgold cockwarming fic so i'm thinking about that. i've seen it here and there but i do think it's really good. and all of my FAVORITE empgold fics focus in on how normalized it is to Hunter, which is a thing i really like - there are plenty of fics of him hating it and being forced, and plenty of fics of him being groomed into liking it, but i really like the ones where it's not even something he puts much of a judgment on at all. It Just Happens, it's just part of his life, it's as completely unremarkable as standing guard in the throne room or reporting the progress of his studies. i just love Hunter being so incredibly groomed and isolated he genuinely does not even realize there's any reason to hide it or keep it secret.

as far as kinks go... i'd like to see more empgold pissfic. there's like, one other than the one i wrote, but... also i'm an eternal fan of Belos getting Hunter pregnant and all the various ways THAT could go so i'd love to see it more. also i'm still holding out hope that one day someone is going to write a good omegaverse fic that i actually like and i'd love some empgold omegaverse stuff, especially if having an alpha/beta/omega designation is a witch thing and NOT a human thing.

oh, also: needs to be more empgold chastity stuff. Belos is a literal puritan and i am sure that in his twisted mind he thinks the problem is that Caleb fell prey to the temptations of the flesh and lived in lust and sin with that horrible witch, so, what if he just made his grimwalkers Chronically Unable To Fuck?
