I've seen people talk about it across Reddit before but I can't remember what they called it. It's less of a bucket list and more of a list of things that a couple sat down to write together of all the fantasies they have or the kinks they want to explore together. Is it just called a bucket list? Or is there another word for it?
Hello! I don't know if others will share this opinion but I noticed that a lot of the writings that get posted here are erotic in nature. There's nothing wrong with that but I think that there's a lot of space for non-sexual stories so I thought I would take a shot.
I'm not really happy with how this turned out but I wrote it in one sitting and just wanted to have it for people to read, even if it isn't great or anything special. Still, I hope you enjoy!

He heard the door open and waited for her voice to echo through the halls. But nothing came. He peaked around the corner from the kitchen as the door quietly clicked close and saw her head hanging slightly. He turned the stove off and set his spoon down before making his way towards her
"Welcome home. How was work?" His voice was soft and smooth. Her head snapped to him and he saw a scary mix of frustration and anger that he had never seen from her before.
"My boss is stealing my work, someone stole my lunch, I'm not getting the promotion I was promised, and my coworkers treat me like trash." Her voice started full of venom but get softer and weaker until it sounded like she was about to pass out.
He stepped forward and reached for her shoulder and she shrank away from his touch. Not out of fear of him or worry of what he would do, but for fear of breaking down at his touch. She could feel the burning in her eyes and tried to hide her face. He gave her a second then put his hand on her shoulder to pull her into his chest. The moment she felt his shirt on her face, she brought her arms around him weakly and started to sob against him.
He put his arms around her and held her close without a word. He moved one hand up to the back of her head and kissed the top of her head softly. After a few moments, her sobs slowed and she was left sniffling against him.
He kept his hold of her and spoke softly. "I'm going to take your jacket off, sweetheart. Then I'm going to help you take your shoes off. Okay?"
She nodded against his chest and he did as he told her he would. He slid her jacket off her shoulders and hung it on the hook by the door before kneeling in front of her and lifting each foot to take her shoes off. He stood back up and took her hands in his. He led her to the couch and sat down before pulling her to him. He held her close and laid down with her on his chest. He rubbed her back slowly and placed his other hand on the back of her head. He spoke quietly with a soothing tone that he knew she loved.
"I've got you, beautiful. Just breathe for me. Don't think about anything other than you and me right now. All that matters is that you are home and I'm right here with you. You don't have to be strong right now. You don't have to think. You don't have to worry. Let your stress and worry fade away and sink into me."
As he spoke, her brain started to feel lighter. Her arms wrapped around him and she held on tight to him. She felt a few more tears leak out from her closed eyes but there were no fresh ones coming. She listened to his words and felt the stress slowly fading away. He felt her relaxing in his arms and smiled to himself.
"You're safe here, baby. I've got you. Now that you've relaxed a little, I want you to go get changed while I finish dinner. I want you to take a warm shower and wash away the rest of the day then put on your soft pajamas. When you come down, I'll have dinner ready and we can pick something to watch together. Does that sound good?"
She raised her head slightly and looked up at him. She smiled and nodded before speaking softly.
"That sounds perfect. Thank you, baby."

It's my birthday and I would love to finish the day. I want to find some new favorites so feel free to send some of yours and see if you can catch my interest. I would prefer no anal but don't mind it if the people look good enough. I prefer only talking on Reddit so please do not message asking to go somewhere else.
Doms, do you like your sub to dress up for your birthday? Or do you like to make them a gift basket with their favorite things for their birthday?
Subs, do you like to have your dom ignore the rules for a day on your birthday? Or do you like to prepare a special day for them on their birthday?
I'm just interested in hearing what kinds of fun stuff you like to do.
Over the years I've talked to a number of people, whether they were subs or someone just exploring different things, and done my best to be a support system. Almost every time, I have been clear that I wasn't looking for anything serious. There's always a good level of respect for that. There have been a few people that didn't accept it and I wished them luck in finding someone that fit well with them. If they accepted, we both did out best to keep things platonic, with the occasional deeper conversation or maybe even an RP style scene when we were both feeling up to it.
Thinking back on everything, one of two things almost always happened. Either I would suddenly find out I was blocked/they deleted their account or I would freak out because I felt one of us (usually me) was getting too attached and I didn't feel right of comfortable with it. If the latter happened, I would try to explain things the best I could, to mixed results. I know that the second probably came down to me craving a connection to people but being afraid of it which is a problem I know I have, even with regular friendships.
Within 12 hours yesterday morning, I got to experience both. I stayed up later than I should have in an RP scene with someone that we both thoroughly enjoyed. It was focused on her which was all I cared about and seemed to surprise her. It was really nice and, if I'm being honest, better than a lot of scenes I have had even in RPs. But as I was getting ready for bed, I felt something that I can only relate to dom drop even if it isn't the right way to think of it. I just felt gross, wrong and bad even though everything felt good and I knew she enjoyed it. I pushed it aside and tried to get to bed.
Unfortunately I had to be up early in the morning after only a couple hours of sleep. I went to send a message to someone else I was talking to who lives in a different time zone and would have been awake then to check on them. But all their messages were gone. I tried to check their account and got the "nobody goes by that name" page. I probably shouldn't have in hindsight but I checked for her account without being logged in and her account is still up. Since then, I've been wracking my brain trying to think of what happened. Everything seemed fine and we had been having a good conversation the night before until she fell asleep. That sent me into a bad headspace that I still haven't pulled myself out of.
Between both of those and some other stuff that is going on in my life, I am so deep in my own head and feeling like shit that I almost just want to delete my account and disappear but there are a lot of good people I have talked to, including the one that I stayed up late with, that I don't want to leave or forget about.
I don't even know if any of this made any sense. I just can't figure out what is going on in my head right now or what I want to do. I'm just really messed up right now and just lost.
Moreso rambling but if anyone has any advice or anything of the like for me, it is appreciated.

I posted this elsewhere about a week ago but I just discovered this sub so I thought I would share it here as well. Also I think Praise & Aftercare is the right flair since it's not a story, more just writing. If it should be in Story, please let me know.

You did so well, darling. It's okay, I've got you. Breathe, baby. Feel me breathing and just try to match it. That's it. In and out, nice and slow. Good girl. Did you enjoy that? Yeah? Don't worry. You don't need to use your words right now. You can just nod your head against my chest, okay? Perfect. Just curl up in my arms and let me hold you close. Are you okay? That's good. Do you mind if I ask you some more questions? Okay. Just squeeze my arm if you want me to stop.
This was less intense than some of our other scenes but it feels like it affected you more. Am I right? Did something happen to you today that made things feel more intense? Shh shh. It's okay. You don't have to talk about it. I just want to know so I can look out for things next time. I'm sorry I didn't catch it this time. Was there a point where you wanted to use your safe word but didn't think you could? Okay, that's a relief. You know you can always use your safe word, right? I won't change how I think of you and it won't upset me. You know that right? Good girl. How about we focus on caring for your body first, okay? Are you okay if I get up to run to the bathroom for a second? That's my good girl. I'll be right back.
Okay. I've got a washcloth to clean you up, that cooling gel you really like, and your super soft robe. Can I touch you to clean you up? Of course, baby. I only need one hand for this so you can hold the other one. I'm not going anywhere until you tell me you are ready, okay? Just close your eyes and relax for me. Can you do that? Good girl.
I'm gonna use this washcloth to clean you up a little, okay? I'll start with your forehead and get rid of the sweat...then that cute little string of drool on your chin...then my drool on your chest...then this big mess that somebody left all over you. Who could have done that? There's that smile I love to see. All clean. Can I put some of this gel on? I didn't spank you too much but I want you to feel comfortable. Okay. If my touch is too rough, just tell me and I'll slow down. I'll take those little sighs as confirmation that it's okay. You sound so cute like that.
There we go, sweetheart. Now let me get this robe onto you so you can be all snuggly and warm. Hm? Of course it's warm. I put in in the dryer for you before we stared so it would be ready for you. You're welcome, baby. Nuh uh. No talking like that. You do plenty for me and you deserve everything I do for you and more. Taking care of you makes me happy and seeing you happy makes it even better. I'm so lucky to have you. Never forget that. The opposite might also be true but that doesn't change anything.
How do you want to snuggle tonight, darling? Of course you can lay on my chest. Make yourself comfortable however you want. I'm here for you. Do you think you need a rest? Of course. I'll be right here when you wake up. I can't hear you like that, honey. You're mumbling into my chest. It would be my honor to keep the dark thoughts away while you take a nap. Dream a sweet dream for us both.
Goodnight, princess. Sleep tight. I love you.
Teasing is to a dom what Bratting is to a sub. The only difference is the energy behind it.
Pushing buttons, poking at something to mess with them, laughing when they get upset about it, and continuing to poke until they try to do something to stop you.
For bratting, it's all about pushing the dom to do the thing the brat wants so badly.
For teasing, it's all about getting the sub to either feel the way you want them to (i.e. calling them sweet or adorable to try and get them to admit it) or to make them feel a certain way (i.e. complimenting them relentlessly so they blush and keep saying "No I'm not!")

I don't even really know how to put this into words right so that people can understand it. I've been into kink play and been a dom for a long time. But as of late, I have noticed that I've been enjoying the lead up and the come down so much more than sex itself.
Seeing a sub getting into their headspace is amazing to me. Them putting their trust in me, knowing I will take care of them. The slow mental games of driving them wild and seeing how long they'll last before begging for more. I also really enjoy the teasing of a brat that knows they are going to get in trouble and giving them exactly what they have been waiting for and satisfying their craving.
Giving aftercare might honestly be the part of all of this I enjoy the most. Slowly bringing us both back to Earth and helping my partners recover and making sure they know I care about them and am there for them. I just really enjoy caring for people and helping them feel comfortable and relaxed.
Is that weird? I know at the end of the day, it all comes down to being open with a partner and making sure that we both are getting what we want out of anything but I can't help but feel like I don't "deserve" the term dom or anything like that if I don't fit the mold or fill all of the things that get associated with it.
