Third Harlequin Kradam Fest: Prompt Submission Post

[spikedluv]

Comment here with your prompts for our third 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 September 30th.

You may submit:

~general prompts or more specific scenarios;

For example:

General Prompt: marriage of convenience

Specific Scenario: Kris Allen is the son of a wealthy businessman who must marry by his 25th birthday or lose the inheritance he plans to use to fund his own charity. He sees Adam Lambert, a struggling musician, perform one night and is smitten; Kris makes Adam an offer he can’t refuse.

~blurbs off the back of Harlequin romance novels, or blurbs from the back of DVD cases, or scenarios you’ve made up yourself, or mix ‘em up; and

~prompts from the last round (just c&p them into a comment here), whether they were claimed and filled or not.

The only requirements are that the prompt be Kris/Adam and be of a Harlequin nature (which we will interpret broadly). Harlequin is a type of romance that includes everything from traditional to historical, intrigue to supernatural. If you’re not sure what we mean by the term ‘Harlequin’, check out the eHarlequin writing guidelines.

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.

Please note: If you plan to post a fic this round that you started for a previous round, please make sure that the prompt you claimed is re-submitted for this round so that you can re-claim it.

Here are several more prompts to get us started:

~Kris Allen signs up for Theater 101 because it’s the only open course that fits his schedule. It’s not long before the professor learns what Kris has always known: he sucks at acting. Kris is handed over to the not so tender mercies of TA, Adam Lambert, who teaches Kris about acting, and a whole lot more.

~Single dad Kris Allen finally bows to the inevitable and hires a nanny to help him take care of his daughter/son. Picturing the staid nanny types who suck all the fun out of life, he tells the service that he wants someone who is imaginative and artistic. When Adam Lambert first appears on his doorstep, Kris isn’t sure he’s the right man for the job, but Adam soon convinces Kris otherwise.

~When photographs of Kris Allen kissing another man are posted on-line he refuses to deny that he is gay. His record company claims breach of contract, but they give Kris a choice: either he will be banned from performing publicly for the remainder of his contract and sued for damages, or he can agree to allow them to sell his contract to Adam Lambert, a man who has made no secret of his desire for Kris.

Now show us what you've got! *g*

Easily the shyest of the season eight American Idol contestants, Kris Allen is one of the wealthiest men since winning the prize and landing on the Billboard Charts with every single. That he is a recluse and even more of an introvert since his divorce only deems him more of a celebrity mystery.

Yet he can't trust anyone he knows since his win thanks to greedy ladder climbers controlling his every move, and Kris has few options outside of renewing because no one wants to go up again his entourage of producers, agents, and publicists. Also he needs a good reason to decline the contract or else the repercussions could make his life miserable.

So when his contract is about to expire and he must either renew or face fading into obscurity (or much worse), Kris approaches his once-best friend, the vivacious producer and singer Adam Lambert with a most outrageous proposition: marriage!

Adam's reputation is so dangerous that thirty seconds alone with him will break any anyone who is not as jaded as him. Still, Kris comes to him and the old sparks between them flicker into a raging fire. And, Adam still wants Kris — in his bed and on his label, wants him enough to legally shackle himself to his former friend.

But Kris' proposal comes with a condition: no sex after their wedding night. Kris will not become just another of Adam Lambert's conquests to be callously discarded. Kris' ultimatum leaves Adam with two choices: step up his game of seduction or surrender his heart to Kris again and convince him to be Adam's partner in more than just making records.
