—INTERVIEW WITH THE VAMPIRE RPF—
Eric Bogosian/Assad Zaman
God, RPF Summer really is real you guys! These two have had me in their grasp and it's showing no sign of slowing down, I tell you what.I'm just obsessed with how much they both clearly enjoy the others' company, how playful they are and how unhinged they are in interviews. Like, we have Assad telling Eric that 'our characters are going to fuck' when they first met, Eric telling an interviewer that his libido is still going strong in his 70s, Eric posting a selfie of them both on insta and another actor saying "room for a third?" and Assad replying "no." The list goes on! Also they're both super hot, and the way they look at each other in interviews (and the way Assad touches Eric when he's being spoilery!!!) is just so damn good. Plus I'm a sucker for age difference (Eric is in his 70s and Assad is in his 30s) and there's just so much to explore.
For more details, I've collated all of their insane moments in my #zamasian primer tag on tumblr!
Prompts & Ideas
— Age gap: Yeahhh this is the biggie again! Assad is 34 and Eric is 71, that's just hot as fuck. I love to think about their difference in experience, how much Assad clearly looks up to Eric as a professional and experienced Theatre Guy, and how talented Eric thinks he is too!— Shared Interests: They're both into stage theatre and seem to genuinely get on super well with each other, and I love to think about them arguing passionately about a play or reading books together curled on a sofa in winter.
— Sharing Clothes: Assad borrowing Eric's shirts and jumpers? GOOD. Eric stealing something of Assad's to keep him company while they're apart (and vice versa)? GOOD!!
— Bottom Eric: Yeah..... I want that old man to get fucked! I do like bottom Assad as well, but I'm just such a sucker for Eric getting fucked, I need to see more of that!!
— Smoking: Sharing a cigarette together, after sex or just normally, huddled under a shelter in the rain and cold, very damn hot. Also a big fan of stubbing cigs out on the other, especially on Assad's chest...
— Shibari: I feel like they'd both enjoy this so much!! I've rambled about the scenarios a few times on tumblr here and here, so feel free to use those ideas!
— Erectile dysfunction & soft cock worship: I love this so much!!! I love it!!! I love how it highlights Eric's age, especially if Assad can keep on going for a lot longer/more times than he can. I love it if Assad finds it really hot, enjoying his soft cock and how it feels, maybe mix it with cockwarming or blowjobs while soft, just casual soft intimacy, you know?
— Shaving: Considering Eric shaving Assad's face... considering it really fucking hard! I like to think Eric is one of those straight razor old fashioned kinda guys (also it's so hot...), and the trust involved in letting someone shave your face is just. HRGH. Yes good!!! Especially good if they've not moved into having a relationship together, so it's combined with all this pent up UST and tension!!
— Long-distance/epistolary: I love LOVE texting, emails, socmed based epistolary for modern long-distance kinds of relationship! Bits of whatsapp messages, emails to each other back and forth, even about just inconsequential things like what they've had to eat, what books they're reading, a play Eric saw that he thinks Assad will like. Them tagging each other in insta posts, or sharing photos with each other from their days you know? Especially love this to have a sort of underpinning wistfulness and loneliness as they wish they were together - but with a positive ending of them meeting again! Phone sex, sexting or anything else equally loved!
—BRITISH COMEDY RPF—
Charlie Brooker/David Mitchell
These guys have been one of my faves since fucking 2009 I swear to god. Ofc they haven't had much in the way of interaction recently and the fandom is p much dead so it's a bit of a difficult one, but ughh I love them so fucking much!!So this ship comes from their various appearances together on TV and radio around 2009-2010 and onwards. Charlie's been on episodes of Would I Lie to You?, David's been on Charlie's show You Have Been Watching. There's the infamous Big Fat Quiz of the Year 2009 where they were on the same team to great shippy effect. There's been various quotes from various publications about the other, photos of them together at parties, being on the same team on Would I Lie to You? in 2024 (and god fucking bless), and a few excellent episodes of The Unbelievable Truth, all of 10 o Clock Live, it's like quite a lot of shit!! There's a lot of stuff in my #brookermitchell primer tag on tumblr for your perusal although it's far from exhaustive.
Prompts & Ideas
— Show Appearances:Anything related to their show appearances together! I love between takes scenes, stuff on set, sneaky encounters with the threat of being caught!— Reuniting: Reuniting for WILTY last January and finally being on the same team! Charlie calling David a coward, how they kept on leaning into each other. I love the idea of them having been into each other for years and years and then maybe not confessing it until literally 2024! The pining.... the angst.... but with a happy ending (hur hur hur)! For this specific pining, longterm fancying each other vibe, I'd prefer if they both hadn't got married etc.
— Age: Relationship now they're both older is especially good!! Charlie is 4 years older than David so not much for the age difference, but I'd love to see anything exploring their relationship as older guys. Whether it's getting together now they're in their 50s (HOT), or having spent the last however many years together growing older. I especially adore their grey hair and grey beards, hough.
— Comedy: Banter and weirdness, being generally kinda mundane and a bit rubbish at sex. Both their odd senses of humour and how they make each other laugh so much all the time.
— Self Esteem: I love a bit of angst on this front! Charlie has gone on record on countless occasions saying that he thinks he's ugly (so many hilarious and heartbreaking similes) and I'm p sure there's similar instances for David too - I love angst based around this, where one or both of them thinks they're unlovable or that they're getting pity-fucked, or that the other can't ever be attracted to them properly! Really pile on the angst for this one, but with a happy ending because of course they find each other hot!!!
— Smoking: Sharing cigarettes, shotgunning smoke, stubbing cigs out on the other, huargh it's all good. I like small moments like one of them lighting the other's ciggie, leaning in close with a flare of light in the dark, or sharing one after sex.
— Gunkink: Okay this one is basically just My Kink Added To The Ship, but there's a bit in Gameswipe as depicted here where Charlie points a gun at a guy and orders him to suck it and it basically rewired my fucking brain cos I had this half-remembered fever dream for YEARS at this point. Anyway, that please. David getting freakishly horny about it. Sucking the gun? As a treat? Making a comment about Charlie's appalling lack of trigger discipline in this clip? Charlie's insanely commanding voice (video clip here)? LITERALLY ANYTHING. I WOULD DIE.
Reece Shearsmith/Steve Pemberton
So after watching Taskmaster s20 I fell headfirst into everything with Reece and Steve (many such cases I know!!) and I'm just fucking obsessed with whatever their fucking deal is!!! I love how they just come as a pair!! For these two, I'm of the firm belief that they're switches for top/bottom and that they have a similar switchy vibe for domming/subbing too. I also loooove how they both have this insane vibe of just being like, massively fucked up?? Like I could quite easily see them killing each other, wanting to die together, just stuff on the other side of real fucked up.I've requested Inside No. 9 RPF, Taskmaster RPF, Britcom RPF and specifically Stage/Fright RPF as eras for them and I'd prefer it to be their current ages or during filming In9 - so no Highgate, Bretton Hall etc. eras please! I've added some prompts/thoughts for each specific era in the list below.
Prompts & Ideas
— Nesting: Reece Nest.... That interview where he said about a fucking nest being his cosy safe place (paraphrased) rewired my fucking brain, and I just want to see him in a fucking nest (again many such cases I believe lol). Whether this is in an omegaverse situation or otherwise I'm easy, just put that man in a fucking nest.— Activities: Doing escape rooms or cryptic crosswords together! Just hanging out, watching plays or horror films, going out for meals or whatever. Just cosy domesticity, I need it.
— Size Difference: I fucking love their size difference so damn much!! I also love Reece not knowing his own strength (confirmed by Steve)!! Taller and larger Steve with shorter and thinner Reece, yes good. This works really nicely with the clothes sharing stuff!
— Omegaverse & mpreg: For omegaverse, I love the idea of an omega/omega relationship, beta/beta or omega/beta relationship! I love the nontraditional combinations, and I'd love worldbuilding or exploration around this! What if they were both betas and it made them gravitate to each other so much? What if they had to figure out their feelings around an omega/beta relationship when society is geared always so much towards alpha/omega? My fave omegaverse things are mating bites, mating in general, knotting (or lack of!!), heats and loss of control, heat suppressants and their consequences (longterm usage consequences, what happens if caught without them etc etc.), making nests, scent kink and scenting.
— Mpreg: Pregnant Reece PLEASE GET THAT OLD MAN PREGNANT!!!! This can be related to the omegaverse or just outright mpreg if u wanna! Especially for this I would LOVE a geriatric/older age pregnancy with Reece in his 50s! Big focus on his bodily changes, anxiety over whether the pregnancy is viable, Steve looking after him A Lot and being extra possessive! I can see Reece also being extra cranky at all times, and especially if his clothes stop fitting - dragging Steve along with him to get new clothes would be super cute.
— Possession: Steve being possessive, Reece being possessive (huargh), it's all good! They're so intertwined I love to think that they're both super possessive of each other. Whether marking each other visibly or in places easier to hide, small things to show that they below to each other, you know? In this vein, I also love to think about how much they're attracted to each other - especially if it's Reece thinking about how hot Steve is, things he likes about him.
— Sharing Clothes: Reece wearing Steve's clothes (cos they smell like him? :3c), Steve enjoying this a lot cos of their size difference!! Reece riding Steve while wearing his shirt and it's huge on him!!!
— Oral Fixation: I love all Reece's little stims and I especially love the moments where he's just had sth in his mouth all the time! It'd be hot to see Steve making Reece suck his cock so he can't protest about going on more gameshows, or giving him something else to do with his mouth.
— Knife Stuff: Now these two I can really see being into harder stuff - knife kink YES PLEASE. This includes blood; shaving with straight razors; knives in dangerous proximity to cocks or necks or other vulnerable locations; cutting each other during sex or as foreplay; focus on control of a knife. I'm highkey obsessed with the idea of one (or both) of them being a serial killer or something, or just that like, secret dark side you know? HOT.
— Erectile Dysfunction and Cockwarming: Okay so I ADORE erectile dysfunction in older guys and I especially adore it for these two!! I like it for either Reece or Steve too! It'd be fun to see what else they get up to if they can't get it up! But also please consider: Steve can't get it up so he has Reece cockwarm his soft cock, Reece getting all subspacey and his fidgeting is all stilled. Steve doing a crossword at the same time just acting normal and casual while Reece has his soft cock in his mouth the whole time. Talking out loud as he solves clues, one hand in Reece's hair every now and then petting him softly. Huargh...
— Taskmaster RPF: It'd be super fun to see them both on the same series of Taskmaster! Would they be on the same team or opposite? Their outfit differences alone are brilliant! Or something about how they both got the other involved in each other's prize tasks (Peg Mavis for Steve, Reece's drawing porn of their teachers)!!
— Inside No. 9 RPF: I love between scene or filming bits! Sneaking away to have a quick wank; fucking while in their outfits; tiny bit of character bleed or using their characters as inspiration for their own love life/sex; working on writing scripts together (sex in their office!!!); that bit of the Riddle of the Sphinx commentary where Reece says that Steve looks really good as Squires!!!
— Stage/Fright RPF:
Spoilers for S/F (click here)
— Now this one I LOVE the idea of their deaths being real and then them haunting a theatre afterwards! Anything focusing on Steve's grief after Reece dies, and most of all, AFTERLIFE GHOST SEX PLEASE. Reuniting!!! I love the hurt/comfort of it all, make Steve really hurt and then feel so much more alive and normal again even after he's dead!! OUGH. Soulmates...— After the final s/f show where they hugged, I'd LOVE to see something not set in s/f universe where they're dealing with the aftermath of the show finishing and their emotions about it! Doing something special and fun and sexy afterwards perchance >:3c
— ALSO considering the bit in the Kidnappers sketch where Reece/Tommy brandishes the gun at Steve/Len and there's the whole "it's not loaded" exchange, anything around gunkink relating to that would make me a VERY HAPPY QUAIL!!!!
Ship-Specific DNWs
— Omega!Reece with Alpha!Steve for omegaverse! I'm not really interested in the traditional omega/alpha thing for them— Reece being weird about spit/saliva; crying/being a weepy bottom; having him bottoming cos he's smaller
Reece Shearsmith/Phil Ellis
Absolutely OBSESSED with them in taskmaster s20!!! Their size difference, how well they seem to get on, the way Reece kept touching Phil?! HELLO.Prompts & Ideas
— Between Scenes: Again, I love between takes/after takes things, stuff in the dressing room, stuff after filming!— Size Difference: Their size difference is fucking insane. Like it's not as much as Reece and Greg obviously, but man. He's like a whole head smaller than Phil. HELLO. This would be nice with clothes sharing stuff or basically anything else. Hot.
— Kink: I love the idea of small Reece domming big boy Phil. Especially since Phil was already a fan of Reece before they met, I love that sort of power differential dynamic bullshit. Huargh. Anyway yes please - things especially on my mind rn include Phil in a collar; Reece touching or fucking him with the gloves on from his Hook costume in episode 10; them fucking in the costumes at all tbh!!
Ship-Specific DNWs
— I'm not sure what I think about Steve involved with this ship, so I'd prefer it if he's just not mentioned please! They are a Totally Separate Entity in my head and never the twain shall meet!!Reece Shearsmith/Derren Brown
Okay so I've been a HUGE Derren Brown fan for like 15 years at this point and I'm only just finding out that he's friends with Reece?! When I tell you my absolute GLEE at finding this out, holy fucking shit, talk about two huge fixations colliding in the year of our lord 2025!!! Insanity.I love how well this fits with Reece's interest in magic, how he's been on a few of Derren's shows, basically just the whole idea of this ship fucking compels me.
Prompts & Ideas
— Magic Stuff: I ADORE their shared love of magic, the way Reece got some books that Derren really wanted!! I'd adore anything with them both bonding over magic, the history of it, performing tricks together or for each other, basically anything! Has Reece ever gone to the Magic Circle in London? Is he a member? (I don't actually know the answer to this lol)— Misdirection: Okay so I'm obsessed with the Inside No. 9 episode Misdirection which felt like it was laser targeted directly at me, and I'd love to see anything around this episode with Derren! His reaction to it, what he thinks of Neville, anything basically.
— Derren's Shows: I'd love anything with Reece's reaction to Derren's shows! Especially the more extreme ones like Russian Roulette - bit of "thank god you didn't die you fucking idiot" post-episode sex? Reece being in the audience for any of his filmed shows or live stuff? Interval hookups or post-show-high hookups? YUM YUM, and especially if Derren is still in his stage outfits!!
— Clothes: Clothes Kink HELLO!! They both have really good fashion sense so I'd LOVE something focused on that! Undressing Derren after a show layer by layer! Wearing gloves and waistcoats and basically just excellent sartorial choices!!
— Magic in Kink: What it says on the tin lol. Especially hypnosis or mentalist tricks from Derren's side being used during sex from a CNC perspective, HOT AS FUCK. I'm not sure they'd go in for physical tricks like escapology etc. but the other stuff is very fair game please.
Ship-Specific DNWs
— I'm not sure what I think about Steve involved with this ship, so I'd prefer it if he's just not mentioned please! They are a Totally Separate Entity in my head and never the twain shall meet!!Rob Beckett/Romesh Ranganathan
These two are just fucking insane. I can't believe they keep getting away with it!! Please see all of the content of my friend insanegaywinkingmagician's tumblr basically for your pick of reasons why they're totally fucking (because they are). I don't have very many detailed prompts for them because tbh I feel like all the prompts just come from the episodes of shit lmao.Prompts & Ideas
— TV: Any shenanigans from Rob and Romesh Vs! I haven't seen every episode yet but I don't mind spoilers cos I think I've seen p much everything at this point lol— Training: Romesh training for the marathon and getting all sweaty; Rob appreciating this, maybe with some hands on massage after training?
— Travelling: Grimy sex on the road, in the car, fumbling, quick and messy
Greg Davies, Alex Horne, Mike Wozniak
UGH, GOD. THEM. I love Greg/Alex (obviously) and I love Greg/Mike, and the idea of all three of them together intensely compels me!! I love the fact that Mike and Greg have been in Greg's hot tub together and that they've been friends for ages! Again not too many prompts for these because I love basically everything we see on screen!Prompts & Ideas
— Between Scenes: Dressing room bits before going on air?— Throne: Using the fucking throne somehow? Cockwarming Greg on da throne? Idk man, but someone needs to get fucked or dommed on that damn throne.
— Kink: D/s relationships on all fronts but I quite like Mike being a dom for Greg as a bit of a role reversal :3c I think Mike is hella switchy (see these screenshots here for sub!Mike) and I'd love to see him domming Greg! Or domming Alex with Greg!! Or hell, subbing for Greg too (I like to think of him being a service sub tbh).
— Misc: Sharing the hot tub! Personal grooming!
