Cuddles4Biggles Prompting Fest
Welcome to our second prompting fest: Cuddles4Biggles or the Biggles Cuddlefest! This is based on Smut4Biggles and uses basically the same rules.
Rules:
* You may request any combination of characters, pairings, or gen. "Any" or "original" are perfectly fine too (e.g. "Erich von Stalhein & Any Biggles Team Member"). The only requirement is that cuddling, hugging, petting, or other physical contact must be suggested by the prompt or fill.
* Here is a suggested format for leaving your prompts (not required):
Warnings (if any):
Characters or pairing:
Prompt:
Do not want:
Gift to me on AO3? (Y/N)
[The last line is new and completely optional, but if you don't want to be given AO3 gifts for a particular prompt, you may indicate it. I'm adding this because I've seen some promptmemes that had this, and personally enjoy having the option. Also, some people just don't have gifting turned on in general.]
* You can also use the DW subject line if you like, e.g. "Biggles/Algy, snuggling for warmth". Not required, but helpful.
* To fill a prompt, reply to it in a comment with your fill or a link to the fill elsewhere. You can post it anywhere: your DW, AO3, Tumblr, etc. There is no minimum or maximum fill length, from a sentence to full-length fic is fine.
* Anonymous prompts and fills are fine.
* You may also fill your own prompts.
* Please do not gift anyone an unrequested pairing. If your fic ends up changing as you're writing it to be about a different pairing, or include other pairings, it's perfectly fine to post it on AO3 without gifting it to anyone and simply credit the original prompt as inspiration! You can also use the details of your prompt to let people know that you are okay with other pairings than the one(s) you're asking for.
* Feel free to comment on other people's prompts! "Ooh that's nice" or questions for clarification are perfectly fine.
* IMPORTANT: Please warn in the subject line or first line of the fill/prompt for the following: Noncon (i.e. rape), Dubcon (i.e. sex pollen, drugged but consensual sex), Character Death, Underage, Self-harm. Other warnings may be added at your discretion. **Please let the mod (me!) know if you need a warning added. Please also note that once a comment is replied to it cannot be edited, so replying to a comment to ask for a warning means it must be reposted.**
The following content is not permitted in this fest: Nazi RPF or kinking on Nazi symbols or paraphernalia; fills that contain recipients' DNWs; slurs that are considered offensive in the present day. Mods may delete or screen comments that break the rules or contain other offensive content not covered above.
I will add a fills post when we have some fills!

Biggles/EvS pre-ship, slightly illicit enjoyment of physical touch
Characters or pairing: Biggles/EvS
Prompt: Before they're together, possibly while they're enemies, a bit of indulgent enjoyment of accidental or incidental touch. Sagging on the other person a bit too long while being held up, hands brushing while tying up The Enemy, "oh no, Feelings" as they incidentally touch each other while doing something else, or giving in to a moment of indulgent weakness while lying on the other person for Perfectly Platonic reasons, that kind of thing.
Do not want: I don't want one of them intentionally creeping on the other in a way that makes them uncomfortable. (Guilt and/or a little mutual discomfort because they're both enjoying it way too much is fine, though.)
Gift to me on AO3? Yes if you like
FILL: Biggles/EvS pre-ship, slightly illicit enjoyment of physical touch
"Get away from you so easily?" Biggles offered whimsically. "The odds are against you, you know."
"I only need to succeed once," von Stalhein retorted. "But since you make a point of it... one more step forwards, please. Now your hands, if you don't mind, Bigglesworth."
Biggles stepped forwards, facing the wall, and von Stalhein seized his wrists. He must have put the gun away to do it, but he had an iron grip on both wrists and Biggles doubted he would win in any contest of physical strength; he could hear von Stalhein's tense breathing in his ear and knew the man was braced for any kind of action. A smooth cord was wrapped around one wrist, then the other, looping around them both and effectively restraining him. Once his hands were securely fastened he felt von Stalhein's tension ease.
"You think this will tilt the odds in your favor?" Biggles asked. "Well, perhaps. In general I would be the last person to advise against riding your luck."
Von Stalhein was checking his knots, his fingers brushing against Biggles's wrists; then he took Biggles's forefinger in a light grip, pressing briefly on one fingernail. "It is not my intention to harm you. Is there any pain?"
Biggles did not think it would help his situation to lie. "It's not exactly comfortable, but I don't think it's dangerously tight." He rolled his shoulders a little, trying to get his sleeves to lie smoothly. To his surprise, von Stalhein pulled them straight, his hand brushing the fabric almost fussily. Biggles looked back over his shoulder in surprise.
"Thank you," he said. "If you don't mind, there's some hair in my eye." He'd been in the field for a long time on this mission and his hair had grown in an irritating way, he had intended to ask Algy to snip off the worst of it this morning, but events had intervened.
Von Stalhein's hand was still resting on his arm; he used it to turn Biggles to face him. "Oh yes, I see," he said in a low voice, and with one finger and a very delicate touch, he swept the offending lock away, then smoothed all Biggles's hair down and to the side. Biggles gave a wry smile.
"This would almost be friendly if I wasn't tied up," he commented.
"If you weren't tied up, it couldn't be friendly," von Stalhein said instantly. "I shall have to leave you now, I have much work to do elsewhere now." He did not leave immediately, but surveyed Biggles with a bright-eyed gaze. "Is there anything else you require before I go--a drink, perhaps?"
There was a jug of water and an earthenware mug on the table, both useless to Biggles with his hands tied. "Thank you, yes," Biggles said. His ear had picked up the faintest of sounds, the note of a distant engine. Von Stalhein would hear it soon too. But for now, von Stalhein was pouring water into the mug. He held it to Biggles's lips, resting his free hand on Biggles's shoulder. Biggles realised he was leaning a little into that touch, as if von Stalhein was a friend comforting him in this cell instead of his captor. He straightened up hastily, and a little water splashed on his face.
"Excuse me," von Stalhein said, chasing away the droplets with his finger. "Enough?"
"Thank you," Biggles said again, a little tenser himself now. The sound of the engine was growing louder, and von Stalhein glanced involuntarily towards the barred window.
"It's a long way down for a man with tied hands," he remarked lightly. "I suggest you remain here."
"I'll bear your preferences in mind," Biggles answered.
Von Stalhein's hand was still on his shoulder, a warm, almost possessive grasp. Biggles did not pull away. "Alternatively," he said, "I've told you before the air is sweeter on my side of things. We might have room for a passenger."
At that, von Stalhein released him, very abruptly. Biggles stepped back. Von Stalhein was shaking his hand out, as if the touch had scorched his skin. "I have work elsewhere," he said again, and this time he made for the door without looking back. The lock snicked behind him. Biggles stood facing the door a moment longer, then shook himself as well, and crossed to the window to look for signs of the approaching rescue.

"If you weren't tied up, it couldn't be friendly," von Stalhein said instantly.
ERICH. And Biggles being aware of the plane before EvS is, which is so him. And also:

<3333 ~~/3
And I just ... cannot even with the veiled warmth and care of that final exchange, but then Erich can't handle Biggles once again inviting him over and abruptly withdrawing - the sudden emotional whiplash is excellent, for both of them (Biggles's little frozen moment, until he manages to snap out of it) and also, Erich leaving the room knowing full well that he's probably going to escape. This is just so them and so perfect for the prompt, thank you for writing it! <3
