Following a hiatus, I'm looking to fill one psl line. I'm easing myself back into things. The line involves aliens and mind influencing and unusual surrogacy. Potential for brainwashing, gaslighting, manipulation, and more. I'd like heavy angst between world building and character development, but a potential for sarcasm and banter and fun would be ideal. No one likes things awful all the time. About me over here.
I would also be up for coming up with a similar idea in a different setting, if that would appeal to someone more. I just want an unusual pregnancy involved.
William/Emma and Chloe had never met before. The pair were two drivers on an isolated road who came upon something neither could resist investigating. It was a crashed space ship. It looked like something out of a movie, but it was real. Unfortunately, so were the consequences of investigating the inside of the ship.
William/Emma is grabbed by the dying alien and infected by the alien's mind. While William/Emma now has a wealth of knowledge they never had before in their mind, potential secrets of the universe, there's underlying urges that would never go with their normal personality.
Chloe is infected as well, though by the ship's computers. A small implant was injected into Chloe and starts to change her physical makeup. Chloe finds herself repeatedly heavily and increasingly pregnant, the implant trying to produce a duplicated alien body that could contain the mind in William/Emma. Until it succeeds, neither can really go back to their normal lives. The government would readily get involved and make them disappear instead of help them. Using the knowledge in William/Emma's mind, the two take the ship and go on the run, hiding in plain sight as they try to adapt and help one another cope.
