Decadent Habits

"Well, boya? What's it gonna be? Yes or no?"

Decadent Habits is a Mahou Sensei Negima fanfiction that takes Tangled Family Tree Up to Eleven, written by Darkenning, with chapters contributed by OverMaster and Shadow Crystal Mage. It stems out of a vignette of OverMaster's More Than Fifty Four Negi and Chisame Threesomes, but played straight rather than for laughs. Most ot the time. It ran for thirty-one chapters plus epilogue and side-stories, and can be read here.

A sequel, A Decadent Habits Christmas, has recently been released here. Another sequel, crossing Mai-HiME and Negima, is planned. Other derivative works include a non-lemon, mystery Spin-Off written by Shadow Crystal Mage starring representations of Ala Iridia here, and an Imaginary Story describing meetings between the casts of Decadent Habits and Unequally Rational and Emotional, written by Over Master, foundhere.

"...I very much want to test my steel against that person." She was smiling when she said it. She looked oddly like Tsukuyomi at that moment."
 * Action Mom: Arika. However, she's also associated with other tropes. She's also a bit of a Blood Knight.

"She sat down to finish the soup, and if it became a little more salty as she ate, she was too busy to notice."
 * All Women Are Lustful: But not all women are cheerfully lustful.
 * Author Appeal: The author likes incest stories, but doesn't approve of incest in real life.
 * Bi the Way: Pretty much all the female cast who are having sex with Negi, plus Averted with Albireo, who is a Invisible to Gaydar and in love with Nagi.
 * Big Bad:
 * Biggus Dickus: Averted with Negi, whose penis is described as small. No one complains, though. Played straight with Rakan, naturally, and also with an aged-up Kotaro. (Or is it? Natsumi had no basis for comparison, after all.)
 * Bittersweet Ending: The finale of Satsuki's chapter.

"Ako was a wicked woman. And she was starting to not mind all it all that much."
 * Also,
 * Bright Slap: Chizuru does this Chisame when she's becoming hysterical. Subverted in that the slap itself doesn't calm her down, but distracts her from her emotional pain. It also upsets Ayaka, who promptly offers comfort ... which is what Chizuru intended for her to do.
 * Broke Your Arm Punching Out Cthulhu: Almost literally. Chizuru attempts to use her Armor-Piercing Slap against Eva, and breaks her wrist. But she does bruise Eva.
 * Brother-Sister Incest: Initially between ; sex between forms the climax of the first arc. More recently,  have done the deed off-screen.
 * Even more recently, Negi has had sex with
 * Butt Monkey: Makie is a mild version. The author likes Makie, but thinks she makes a nice innocent. And so consequently, Makie Will Never Get Laid.
 * Cameo: Hasegawa Sora appears as the mother of Hasegawa Chisame. Ayaka visits the Howard Resort, meets the Goddess of Victory, and sees her making out with her sister.
 * Motoko and Tsuruko Aoyama appear in flashbacks. They haven't had sex with each other. Yet.
 * Hiyori and Patricia show up as Haruna's kohai in the Mahora manga club.
 * And, inevitably in a fic cowritten by Over Master, Itoshiki Nozomu makes an extended appearance as a Mahora-based teacher.
 * Compensated Dating: Misa engages in it. Somewhat subverts the expectations of the trope in that while she's looked down on by some of her classmates she's otherwise portrayed as a mild Jerk with a Heart of Gold, despite not even being slightly reluctant.
 * Convenient Miscarriage:
 * Corrupt the Cutie
 * Crazy Prepared: Parodied; Ayaka apparently expects to be put in a position where she might have to pick locks someday, and so conceals some picks in a camera. The parody comes in when it's pointed out that they're on the wrong side of the door from the lock.
 * Crossover: Chapters 18 and 19 crossover with Chapter 26 of OverMaster's Unequally Rational and Emotional, in which the Yuuna of that universe ends up in this one ... and really doesn't like what she finds.
 * Dark and Troubled Past: Arika has one. In a joke crossover with Thirty-One Clown Princesses in Amber, it Squicks The Joker to learn about She herself is at peace with the past. Or so she says.
 * Konoka has one.
 * Mana has one.
 * Yue and Nodoka have lesser ones. Both were dumped at Mahora by relatives who don't really care about them.
 * Destructo-Nookie: Between in one of the side stories.
 * Distant Finale: The epilogue is narrated by Chao, writing in the year 2100. Most of the cast are dead, but not all. One of the incidents discussed in the epilogue is the subject of another story written by Darkenning, Con Te Partirò.
 * It may count as a Deadly Distant Finale.
 * Fantasy Contraception: A magical version that "[k]ills the sperm cells before they even ejaculate" is employed,
 * Futanari: Played with.
 * Good People Have Good Sex: Hehhehheh. No.
 * Well, to be exact, the trope is both played straight and averted depending on the case.
 * Half-Human Hybrid: Played straight then subverted.
 * The Hecate Sisters:
 * Heroic Bastard:
 * I Did What I Had to Do:
 * If I Can't Have You: Played with. Nodoka ALMOST tries a mind-wipe version with Yue.
 * Immodest Orgasm:.
 * Impaled with Extreme Prejudice:
 * I Want Grandkids: Arika.
 * I Want My Beloved to Be Happy: Discussed by Madoka, who considers it a lame cliche and encourages Akira to fight for her love.
 * Kissing Cousins: It's implied that they have sex off-screen. And later actually shown in-screen.
 * Love Makes You Evil: Nodoka, to an extent. She was willing to do a LOT to get Yue back. Arika, possibly, depending on how you view her relations with Negi and Asuna...
 * Mother-Daughter Threesome: Negi with.
 * Naughty Nuns: Misora and Cocone. (Although doubt is raised in the chapter this is mentioned, the author claims that, yes, they are Catholic ... just bad at it.)
 * Neck Snap:
 * Noodle Incident: Just how Negi, Asuna and Chisame managed to reboot the magical world, bring everyone back, and ensure that it could go on for at least another century has not been and will not be discussed in-series. Mostly because the author has no clue how this would work.
 * Omake: A chapter of them between the last chapter and the epilogue.
 * There are also some much earlier, demonstrating Alternate Endings for the first "book" that were rejected.
 * Only Sane Man: Subverted: Despite what the some people think, Haruna is not the only person in-series who would have a bad reaction to actual incest. The author admits to using her as an Author Avatar in her chapter, however.
 * Parental Incest: From the first chapter onward. That first chapter features  And it builds from there. You have been warned.
 * Patchwork Fic: Mostly based on the main manga, but incorporating elements from the Xebec anime version of Negima, Negima?! Neo, and the doujinshi Negimaru.
 * Pop-Cultured Badass: Yuna. Well, she's working on the Badass part ...
 * Porn with Plot: Some chapters have no Lemon content at all. All of them mention that someone is having sex with their relatives.
 * Precision F-Strike: Used sixteen times in thirty-one chapters; the largest number of uses has been three times in chapter five, all by Yuna.
 * Really Gets Around: Nagi and Arika have an open relationship. Nagi has at least three children other than Negi, and possibly more.
 * Ako worries that she's becoming this, with relationships with

""...Listening to private conversations is a decadent habit, and should be avoided if at all possible.""
 * Sequel Hook: The appearance of Kuga Natsuki in the final chapter, and the revelation that
 * Shipper on Deck: Darkenning ships Negi/Chisame; that's how he got interested in the Chisame/Negi Threesome stories in the first place. Do not assume that this tells you how this story is going to end, though.
 * In-series, Chizuru is this for Asuna/Ayaka, though with a somewhat melancholy aspect - she thinks that Ayaka is going to dump her eventually, and is resigned, because ... well, you know.
 * Shout-Out: To Negimaru, when Chisame is reflecting on the first time she saw Negi, in a reference to that doujinshi's ending. Also, as the quote above indicates, to Paradise By The Dashboard Light. And to D.E.B.S..
 * There are also Shout Outs to Fate/stay night, Mai-HiME, Chrono Crusade and Black Lagoon.
 * And most recently to the events of The Dark Knight.
 * Mention is made of Saotome Haruna's older brother, as well as his wife, girlfriend, mistress and concubine, and suspected relationship with his two sisters-in-law.
 * It's a subtle one, but Arika does the Gendo pose in the Chachamaru chapter, and it's hinted she actually learned it from him.
 * Schoolgirl Lesbians: Pretty much all of the female cast who aren't having sex with Negi. Yet.
 * Sex Is Good: Arika's general philosophy
 * Surprise Incest: Subverted, hard. The only incestuous relationships where both parties aren't completely aware that they're related are those between . Nearly everyone else goes in with eyes wide open, and in both those cases, one of the two is aware, but chooses not to say anything.
 * Then played horrifically straight with
 * Tangled Family Tree: Up to Eleven, as said ... and it's going to get even stranger.
 * Tenchi Solution: Averted, at least for Negi
 * Title Drop: In practically the last sentence of the story.


 * One of the cowriters attempted to slip many more Title Drops into the story, but was foiled through Executive Meddling.
 * Troperiffic: The author's aiming for this, using the Sex Tropes index (and its related subtropes) as inspiration.
 * Twincest: The Narutaki Twins ... again.
 * Vampires Are Sex Gods: In addition to seducing Chisame, Eva may (or may not) have done things to Akira, Ako, Makie and Yuna while they were under her mind control. Akira thinks she did, Yuna thinks she broke her hymen by working out, and Ako and Makie aren't talking.
 * Villainous Incest:
 * Xanatos Gambit: Eva used one
