Now *my* kink is equality. Shifts in power have to be negotiated. Power can be transferred and granted, but not usurped.

This is my kink too. deborahmm's and Laura's posts got me thinking about what kind of fics I like. My favorites, no matter what the pairing, portray the two (or three) in question as equals. While one person can have more power at the time the story takes place, I also want there to be potential for the balance to shift in the future. Stories in which everyone's roles are defined and each character serves a specific, unchanging function (slave, father replacement, fuck buddy, rebound partner, one and only everlasting love) do not have the same appeal for me as ones where the characters go in with certain expectations and come out thinking and feeling something different.
