It's trope discussion Monday! What do you think about non-sexual kink in fics? What makes it work for you? Can you recommend a good fic featuring non-sexual kink? 

#TropeChats

@FandomChats I love it, wish it were easier to find. This chengqing improvised D/s and self-bondage fic is really good https://archiveofourown.org/works/30861230

@FandomChats I wrote something recently that technically counts but the kink content is very very brief https://archiveofourown.org/works/54713407

Similarly to what others have said, I'm often unsure whether something "counts" as non-sexual kink because I've heard mixed things vis a vis whether it's still non-sexual kink if the characters are aroused and getting sexual gratification even if no one comes or has their genitals touched etc. I find "characters doing kink stuff that is erotic but getting off in the present moment is not the point of the interaction right now" easier to grasp and to write than characters doing kink where the charge/appeal is entirely nonsexual/gratifying on a different level, though I enjoy reading and writing that as well... But I don't want to engage in false advertising if someone is looking for the latter and I'm writing the former.

@FandomChats however I am looking for a specific fic... It's tgcf, hualian modern au with a wulian flavour, calamity-esq xie lian is a nonsexual dom at a kink club, hc (who is quite young and inexperienced) becomes obsessed with him and wants to sub for him, they have a twisted little relationship, bai wuxiang shows up at one point impersonating xl and messes with hc's brain (xl and bwx both being masked all the time). No one ever actually fucks. It was very good and if anyone remembers and can link me I would appreesh

@roland @FandomChats oh my godddd......
@bloodripelives @FandomChats one thing I really admire about MXTX's couples is how you can write domestic fluff or extremely unsafe lifestyle bdsm and it's all workable. Darling they have the range
@roland @FandomChats k I have no idea who these people are or what is wrong with them (lots) but this fucked so hard (no-fuck edition)
