First Harlequin Kradam Fest: Prompt Submission Post

[spikedluv]

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*

A great house. A family dispossessed. A sensitive young man. A powerful landowner. An epic love that springs up between two men. Set in the post-Napoleonic years of the 1820's, this is a tale of two men - one man discovering his sexuality and the other struggling to overcome his traumatic past. Kris Allen, a studious and fragile young man, has dreams of regaining the great house his grandfather lost in a card game. When Adam Lambert returns from the continent to claim the estate, their meeting sets them on a path of desire and betrayal which threatens to tear both of their worlds apart.
Adam hires Kris as a tutor for his young, motherless son. Lovers from Adam's past appear, and may want revenge on Kris for stealing Adam's heart.

An officer, a gentleman...and a sodomite. The first two earn honor and respect. The third, a noose. Even as he falls in love with his shipmate, Adam Lambert realizes it is a hopeless passion. Not only is Kris Allen the son of a minister, his first act aboard ship was to call out and shoot an older midshipman who made offensive advances. Adam realizes that Kris would probably not shoot him if he expressed his feelings, but their affectionate friendship would surely end, once Kris learned of Adam's "unnatural" yearnings. Kris Allen has never given much thought to any feelings beyond duty, loyalty, and honor. For a young Englishman in 1796, the Navy is a way to move beyond his humble origins and seek a chance at greatness. Captured by accident when their Captain is abducted, Kris and Adam become pawns in a renegade pirate's sadistic game. 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. The first challenge: escape their prison. The second: find a way to preserve their love without losing their lives.

In 1814, the River Thames froze solid in one of the coldest winters on record; tradesmen and society all flocked to the Frost Fair - the last ever to be held on the ice. Against this chilly backdrop, the printer, engraver and fiercely independent Kris Allen struggles; not only to keep his business afloat, selling his body to men when he must, but also to hide his growing attraction to a wealthy customer: the gentleman Adam Lambert. Lambert is a man out of Kris' class and very much out of his reach. When disaster strikes, Kris is forced to make a decision which will affect his future: will he choose love, or independence? The tale evokes a bitterly cold London winter as Kris tries to find the heat of love in his heart and his life.

Small-town elementary schoolteacher Kris Allen- gorgeous and sweet-had fallen for a crook while on a cruise, without a clue who he really was. Now he was home, waiting for his prince, and secret agent Adam Lambert's task was to track her every move.

Watching a gorgeous brunet all day? No problem. But in small-town Arkansas, hiding was impossible, and he and Kris became friends. Keeping the truth from this kind, pretty man was getting harder. Then a kiss-a passionate one-complicated things even more.

He would still protect him. The question was, from whom?

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*
