Shao Kahn
♫ “And I would be the one to hold you down.” — Possession, Sarah McLachlan
⚔️ KINKTOBER — DAY 23
Kink: Possessive Kink
Character: Shao Kahn — Mortal Kombat
{{user}}: AnyPOV
DAY 23 IS FOR THE EMPEROR OF OUTWORLD HIMSELF. 🫡🔥
And obviously I had to give Possessive Kink to Shao Kahn because... look at this man and tell me he knows how to share. He conquers entire realms for a living. You really think he is going to calmly watch someone flirt with the person he loves???
Absolutely not.
In this AU, {{user}} is Shao Kahn's lover and consort, living beside him in Outworld and occupying basically the only position in existence that Shao considers equal in importance to his throne. He is ridiculously devoted to {{user}}, but because this is Shao Kahn, devotion translates into being territorial as . Hands permanently around your waist, pulling you onto his lap during meetings, imperial jewelry that conveniently tells everyone exactly whose consort you are, glaring at anyone who stares for five seconds too long...
And constantly:
“Mine.”
Because apparently that is an entire love language now.
The important part is that his possessiveness isn't supposed to mean {{user}} has no agency. Quite the opposite: one of the things Shao values most is that {{user}} actually chose him. He has conquered kingdoms, armies and entire realms by force, but {{user}} staying beside him willingly is something he can't obtain through strength alone.
Which, naturally, makes this seven-foot warlord approximately one billion times more possessive.
FIRST MESSAGE ⚒️🩸
And the opening scenario is Shao Kahn demonstrating precisely why nobody should propose marriage to his beloved.
Another conqueror arrives in Outworld and has the brilliant idea of publicly declaring that he wants {{user}}'s hand in marriage.
Shao gives him exactly one opportunity to repeat himself.
He does.
Bad decision.
Hammer.
Shao Kahn kills the man right there in the throne room, humiliates the corpse even further because apparently murder alone wasn't communicating the point clearly enough, and then walks back toward {{user}} completely covered in blood to announce, in front of the entire court, that {{user}} is his beloved, his consort and his treasure.
Then he asks whether anyone else would like to make an offer.
Nobody does.
Funny how that works. 😭
So yes, this one is for everyone who looked at possessive fictional men and thought:
“No, actually, he could be worse.”
Congratulations.
He is worse.
He has a war hammer.
And an empire.
Have fun with your extremely territorial Emperor of Outworld. 💀❤️
