Just revisiting a common trope, bevause there can always be new or diferent twists.

Start with the question "what hppened after the lights went out?"

settings- home, apartment, seniors residence, office, elevator, restaurant...?
how many characters? Is this a twosome or a group?
How are they related? Related as in relatives? Strangers, coworkers, acquaintances...
What category? Romance is very different from LW, or group, or Incest or Nonhuman...
Short stroker, longer singlescene, or something more comlex?
Which sex acts?
how does it end? - an alternate title might be "When the Lights Came Back on", with some focus on consequences. The main bulk of the story might be a huge flashback after an intro after the lights come back on - a couple talking about their first time? Someone talking in the holding cell? Something in between?
 
Setting: A home.

How many characters? Two couples, one married, one boyfriend/girlfriend. The girls are watching TV while the guys grab snacks and drinks in the kitchen.

What category? Sci-fi/fantasy

Short stroker. The married husband is the POV protagonist.

Which sex acts? When the lights go out, the kitchen is darker than expected. On his way to the drawer where the flashlight is kept, a woman stops him and starts making out with him. When his hands roam, he realizes he is making out with his best friend's girlfriend. He grabs her arms and says something about upsetting his wife, but she doesn't answer. He feels his wife against his back. She reaches around and opens his pants for her friend. The trio explores every fantasy he has ever had, including a few his wife said were turn-offs in the past, like rimming. All in total silence from the women.

When the Lights Come Back on, he has the women in a 69 on the floor, while he thrusts into the topmost one. Abruptly, the lights come back on, and he is naked on his knees, thrusting into empty air. With the return of light, he hears the sound of the TV in the other room, and his friend elsewhere in the same room yells, "All the way down your throat, you fa- What the hell!?"

When the protagonist stands up, his equally naked friend says, "How did you get all the way over there?"

He grabs his pants and rushes into the living room to make sure the women are okay without stopping to put them on first. Like the men, the women are naked and confused in different parts of the room. The men compare experiences and realize neither of them did the same thing. The protagonist's wife is upset that he didn't realize her doppelganger wasn't her after she did things he knew she didn't like. The male best friend says the wife is just trying to change the subject before telling her own story.

Possible additional chapters (from other authors?) from the other three points of view.
 
Anyone else ever go to a shut-in? When I was a teen our church had them for the teens. But they also had mixers for singles in the congregation. Combine the ideas and they're at a mixer/shut in for singles. At the church. They play cards, get to know one another, they cook dinner and eat together as a group in the fellowship hall. Overseen by a pastor, also single.

Mix up the ages and then the lights go out as a thunderstorm rolls through just before bedtime. The darkness, the fury of the storm, the closeness, the taboo nature of these feelings in a church.

And then the first touch ...

At my age, the term "shut-ins" applies to lonely old people that never leave their house. They might not fit this thread, but they sure do deserve some company, and intimacy, by which, this being Lit, I mean crazy kinky sex.

I have to agree. That weird sci-fi spin on it takes this to another level. But I would leave it at the four of them blinking in surprise at each other, wondering, what the hell just happened? It gives it a Twilight Zone ending. Maybe the wife that lives there adds the final note when she says, "I'm not cleaning up all that cum."

Great stuff. It should get written.

X-Files.
 
Complete sentences, please.

I can make several guesses about what you meant, but the fact that I can make more than one is a problem for me.
X-Files is always a complete sentence :)

This story would also fit in the X-Files. There's even a similar one where there's a house that's supposed to be the house from an in-universe version of The Brady Bunch where something happens and the cast appears in the house for a while, then shoop they're gone again.
