First Harlequin Kradam Fest: Prompt Submission Post

Comment here with your prompts for our first Harlequin Kradam Fest.

We will accept prompts through July 5th.

All of the prompts will be collated into a list and posted here at

harlequinkradam on July 6th for claiming. Prompts will be available for claiming (and you may post your fanfic or fanart submissions) from July 6th through Sept 14th.

You may submit general prompts or more specific scenarios. You may submit blurbs off the back of Harlequin romance novels, or scenarios you’ve made up yourself, or mix ‘em up.

For example:

General Prompt: marriage of convenience

Specific Scenario: Kris is the son of a wealthy businessman who must marry by his 25th birthday or lose the inheritance he plans to use to make the world a better place; he sees Adam perform one night and is smitten; Kris makes Adam an offer he can’t refuse.

The only requirements are that the prompt be Kris/Adam and be of a Harlequin nature (which we will interpret broadly).

For more information about the Fest please read the rules on the community profile. If your question isn’t answered there you may ask us here at the Q&A post.

Here are several prompts to get us started:

Adam Lambert has been invited to his ex’s wedding. Because he refuses to let the cheating bastard think he cares, Adam replies as plus one. The only problem is that he isn’t currently seeing anyone, and there’s no way he’s showing up without a date. Kris Allen appears to be the answer to Adam’s problem, except when the time comes for their fake relationship to end, will Adam be able to let him go?

~*~

Adam Lambert and Kris Allen had been in love once, but that was years ago. When they meet up again Kris is determined to maintain a distance between them; Adam is equally determined to win Kris back.

~*~

Unable to make it on his music alone, Kris Allen takes a job as a personal assistant to the flamboyant, charismatic and infuriating glamrocker Adam Lambert. Working for Adam becomes a challenge in more ways than one when Kris finds himself attracted to the other man.

~*~

Kris Allen agrees to participate in a charity bachelor auction because it’s for a good cause, but eyebrows are raised when the infamous Adam Lambert bids on him. When Adam wins the bidding, though, Kris is less concerned with his reputation and more with his virtue.

Now submit yours! *g*

Kris is a newly out gay man, fresh off the bus from Arkansas. He gets a job with a highly respected fluffer agency, just to make ends meet while waiting for his big break as a musician. On his first day on set, he meets Adam Lambert, a hot young porn star. Sparks fly between Kris and Adam with each on set encounter. These sparks don't go unnoticed, and Adam's extremely possessive director boyfriend is not happy. Will they let the many personal and professional obstacles get in the way of their budding relationship?

~~~

All hell breaks loose when Kris Allen, Earl of Carwick, is tricked into being discovered in the company of Adam, a handsome male prostitute. Now Kris needs to repair his broken engagement to a wealthy heiress…and Adam is the only one who can identify the man who set him up, proving to Kris' fiancée that things weren’t as they appeared.

The trip from Worcester to Bath turns into a journey of self-discovery, as Kris finds himself becoming increasingly attracted to Adam. His charming companion stirs feelings Kris has long kept repressed, but acting on them would make true the accusations that destroyed his engagement. Torn between duty and desire, Kris' destiny lies in the hands of a Discreet Young Gentleman.

~~~

Adam is a distinguished Captain in the military. As Kris' master and mentor, Adam knows the young man is off limits, so he keeps his forbidden feelings for his novice under wraps, vowing never to act on them.

Kris has been in love with his master from the moment he laid eyes on him. Adam rescued him from a life of sexual slavery and his gratitude is exceeded only by his desire for the tall, broad shouldered man he calls Master.

When a mission requires that Adam have a pleasure slave, will the pair be able to complete the mission, in spite of their feelings for each other?

Sorry, I'm having fun reading romance novel summaries :)

Adam has been working for Simon Fuller's escort agency for over 10 years, since he was 18. He's been the hottest male escort in LA for eight of them, catering to the elite of LA. He's put in his time, saved his money, and is about to fulfill his goal of retiring by the age of thirty. Simon calls in the favor Adam has owed him for 11 years, and asks that Adam's last job be with a friend of his daughter's: A shy, closeted boy named Kris.

~~~

Kris Allen is one of the hottest music stars in the world. He's also rumored to be bisexual. Adam is barely making ends meet, working at a friend's store by day, performing in dive bars and at open mics by night. As a birthday present, Adam's friend, Cassidy, bids on an auction for charity. The prize: Dinner with Kris Allen. The dinner does not go well, with Kris ignoring Adam, even being downright rude at points. Word of Kris' behavior hits the tabloids, though Adam doesn't comment on it. Kris feels guilty about his behavior, as he'd received bad news prior to the dinner, and seeks Adam out for a redo. Do sparks fly the second time around?

~~~

When Kris Allen discovers the wonderful world of BDSM, he's ready to literally throw himself at the feet of the spectacular Adam Lambert, but Adam is unwilling to take on someone so new to the scene—or so he says. Determined to get what he wants, Kris sets out to convince the doubting Adam that he can be the best sub in the world, the fastest learning, the most obedient.

It's not as easy as he thinks it will be, and things get even more complicated when Kris realizes that he's fallen in love with Adam. With the stakes that much higher, Kris' more determined than ever to win Adam over. But now he'll have to convince Adam they can have more than a teacher/student relationship, more than just good kink.

Adam Lambert is a man with a mission. Nothing will knock him off course. Until one summer's evening in Vauxhall Gardens, when a man's song reminds him of the world he left behind.

Kristopher Allen's beautiful voice and graceful, earthy sensuality have made him a sensation among the pleasure-seekers of the night. In such dissolute company, how long can it be before his virtue is compromised?

The man who can make or break Adam's career desires Kristopher as his mistress. Soon Adam will have to choose what matters to him most-success or love…

As a bartender at the Lucky Seven club, Kris Allen could take a different guy home every night-if he wanted to. Working three jobs, however, makes it hard to connect with anyone. One man, though, is too much temptation to resist. A steamy encounter in a back alley leads to an explosive night of sex in Kris's bed-a bed he isn't surprised to find empty the next morning.

What does surprise him, though, is the front page of a tabloid. Apparently his one-night stand isn't as anonymous as he thought it was.

Adam Lambert's career is taking off. Advance buzz about his movie says it's a blockbuster, and going home with the gorgeous bartender is the perfect way to celebrate. And he thought he'd gotten away clean-until the picture in the paper shocks him into reality. Was Kris really just playing-or playing him for a fool?

Trust isn't big on their list right now, but as their worlds fall apart, it's all they have. At least until they figure out who took the picture. And why-

Introverted young reporter Kris Allen is unprepared for the reality of his weekend assignment at the Folsom Street Fair, where he's assigned to interview porn stars, including Adam. Garrett has no choice but to come out of his shell when Adam and his co-worker tease him up onto the stage for a live demonstration. That might have been that-just a one-off job-but Kris takes advantage of follow-up fact checking for his article to get to know Adam better... and it leads to an unexpected friendship and flirtation that just might grow into something more.

~~~~~~~

Practical, handsome music producer Kristopher Allen never believed in the fairy tale romances or being 'head over heels' in love, even though his mother Kim, assured him it existed. Jordon dated Katy O'Connell, the energetic, somewhat ditzy, blonde airline hostess for three years and felt they had enough in common to tie the knot. He was weary of the endless search for a companion and though Katy was off flying more than she was in LA, he imagined it was time to settle down. Gorgeous, gay, twenty-eight year old, Adam Lambert wasn't keen on his current career as a wedding planner. Though Adam aspired for something greater, a ghost from his youth haunted him and seemed to prevent him from getting into his preferred occupation as a singer. Trying not to be bitter about his fortune, Adam lived his day to day existence with a positive attitude that someday fate would intervene and his life would take on a new direction. The day he met Kristopher Allen and Katy O'Connell to help them plan the big event, fate met up with Adam Lambert.

*headdesk* change Garrett to Kris in the first prompt.

LMAO, that song literally popped into my head when I was reading and then BAM, saw this. Win, basically.

OMFG, that last one - SATAN'S MASTER. Best title ever.

These are so much fun. "The Trophy Husband" confuses me though...what is "the price" exactly? Like he insists on marrying Kris because it's the ~honorable thing to do? And why does he have to do anything at all, if he's just helping Kris get over his breakup? Lol, so confused?

I'm a librarian and my library is currently having a display of romance novels (some Harlequins, too!) and I love reading the blurbs, they're so funny. There's always some sort of Earl or Lord or Marquis, it's awesome.

Poor Kris! Hahah. :D

I know! I've read romances since I was ten or so... twenty years now? -meep- Every hero is royalty... someone did a study that for every real duke during the Regency period, there are 100 fictional dukes. -smh-

The Trophy Husband has the worst plot and the blurb doesn't do much for it, lol. IIRC the basic idea is that Hero has always been in love with Heroine but has hidden it until the betrayal. He agrees to help her make her ex jealous because he is (of course) rich, handsome, etc. and Heroine can accept his terms - marriage or money (because he feels like he needs to "buy" her favors, lol). However, the whole bit on the Heroine always being taken with the Hero is not exactly true. It's played as "oh, he wants me, I've always loved him... except for when I was true to my fiance." Very strange book.

Satan's Master has the most convoluted relationships ever. Hero is dating an older divorcée and the Heroine is being rushed into a marriage with her father's business partner. Ends up that the divorce and business partner were once married and still in love with each other. Total lulz. And Satan? Satan is the cat. I COULD NOT MAKE THIS UP.

Thanks so much for these! Just one question, I think there's a name switch in one of these lines from the first prompt:

To protect the man he loves, Adam Lambert compromises himself-trading his honor and his body for Kris' safety. When Adam learns of his friend's sacrifice, he also discovers that what he feels for Kris is stronger and deeper than friendship.

In the second line, should it be "When Kris learns of his friend's sacrifice...what he feels for Adam..."?

Thanks. *g*

This one sounds like it could be really yummy! *g*

Thanks for these, they sound great! *g*

OMG do not be sorry! If someone doesn't write the first one here, I will cry! And the second one. And holy crap, the third one! o_O I want all of these! *g*

Thank you! *g*

This one sounds really interesting! *g*

Done. I also changed Jordon to Kris here, "Jordon dated Katy O'Connell". These sound good, especially the second one. *g*

You're right XD Thanks for catching that.

Yeeeaaah...by the end my eyes were crossing from all the text. lol.

No problem. *g*

Oooooh. I've thought for a long time that something like this would be awesome.

dlfkjflkjfdkj this is awesome!

Niiiice.
