hi! in reading your fics ive noticed that you write kinks with care (!!) and i was wondering if you had any thoughts on how nrmt approached kinks and safewords and things like that? like do you think it's something they had a conversation about before trying anything, or did it happen during sex and then they were like wait . this needs a safe discussion

hey thanks for the ask!!

to start, I think they both thoroughly enjoy vanilla sex as well. vanilla can be awesome and hot, and for two people so busy it's definitely easier/quicker than certain flavors of kink, whether that's taking into account discussing how the parties might want a scene to go or because of the Accoutrements (though obviously not always the case)

so if we're going with a realistic progression of their relationship, I think they started out having a lot of great, fulfilling vanilla sex. maybe there were some hints of their kinkier tastes (it can be surprisingly hard to have Fully Vanilla Sex for a long time) but I don't think a real conversation was had about it for a while. the 7yg would be a great opportunity for that to happen, but I'd self-indulgently love to see it happening sooner.

I think the kinky undertones grow until even two guys who are certifiably Allergic To Communication aren't able to prolong the conversation. maybe Edgeworth pins Phoenix's hands above his head and Phoenix comes nearly instantly, and Edgeworth wants to see him in cuffs so badly that he'd risk some vulnerability in order to ask for it. likely very little of the content comes as a total shock when they sit down and say "hey, so are there any more adventurous things you'd like to try in bed?"

I think anything new they try definitely comes with a conversation either beforehand or afterward—there's enough trust there that they can try out new kinks "on the fly" without questioning whether the other would stop them if they weren't interested. I also am a huge fan of the stoplight system for many reasons (and for any pairing). if you aren't familiar, essentially it boils down to "green" is good, "yellow" is slow down, and "red" is stop (equivalent of a safeword). checking in on your partner during any kind of sex, kinky or otherwise, is important, and the existence of "yellow" is awesome for that. you can communicate with your partner *before* it gets to the realm of stopping, and make sure you're keeping each other in that sweet spot of intensity. especially with Phoenix's past of being tricked by Dahlia and Edgeworth's general... fussiness, I think they'd both prefer the stoplight system to a safe word.

alternatively, disregard everything above. Edgeworth sends Phoenix a google form after the first time they fuck with a checklist of kinks and an essay portion and they get it together immediately thanks to Edgeworth being a control freak.
