Thinking about that “Ritual of the Familiar” porn setting, where the loser of a wizard’s duel becomes the winner’s familiar. I propose a character who realizes he’s doomed either way. The few wizards at the top are determined to hold onto power. If they realize he has the potential to someday be stronger than them, but he isn’t strong enough yet to defeat them, he’ll quietly vanish, and there’ll be another familiar in some wizard’s mansion. The only way out is to win while losing. To be, to all appearances, another wizard’s subby catgirl, while keeping her old self intact somewhere in the depths of her mind. To be beneath suspicion as she learns her master’s magic, until it’s finally time to strike. (I’m never gonna write this, because I don’t really want to work with that setting.)
