A jinn's friend.

[NuclearFairy]

So I kinda got this idea while coming home from the store today, and I was curious what you guys could do with it.

Basic idea is guy works at a foundry melting down scrap metal. He's the one working it when an old lamp or piece of jewelry gets melted down. So he's technically the one who freed the jinn. But while the jinn is free from the lamp he promised to give his rescuer 100 wishes for freeing him.

But while the jinn finds the guy completely endearing and likeable, he's also completely happy go lucky and content with his life. He never even carelessly says that he wishes for anything.

So while the guy keeps getting into trouble(Might be the jinn's fault), and the jinn can't use his magic to get him out of it without the guy saying "I wish..." the jinn is also a big guy and really likes this happy go lucky guy and so keeps rescuing him anyways.

So anyways, what are your guyses thoughts on the directions someone could take this?

“Jim’s Jinn” the hit new sitcom from ABC!

But seriously, I think a comedy is the way to go: Jinn likes him but he also wants to get those wishes going.

Maybe a twist is that the Jinn can’t just tell him to make wishes…but he can try and put him in situations where he would make a wish.

Mild example: Makes the toilet paper disappear when Jim goes in for a crap.

Wild example: arranges a freak storm to send his boat to an undiscovered country.

For extra fun: Jinn is limited in HOW he gets them out of trouble. He can freely use his powers to get them into it but getting out without a wish severely nerfs him

The spice could come from some guy loving between the two of them or various sexy shenanigans: undiscovered country is full of amzonian women who need to further their bloodline or Jinn’s old girlfriend who is a ghoul (pre-Islam mythical figure, not the undead) tries to get rid of human lead to free Jinn and winds up in a throuple with them.

Forget the wishes. With the destruction of the lamp, the genie is freed. But out of gratitude, he just hangs around making good things happen to our likeable metalworker. Sorta behind the scenes at first and then more and more obvious.
Looking down at his newly massive cock, Bob blinks in surprise. "Say, that's new!"

Expanding on what @Rob_Royale suggested, the jinn didn't expect to be freed in this way. For thousands of years, he has always been bound to someone and compelled to fulfill his wishes, so freedom is completely new to him.

He hangs around the MC out of habit, and would happily stick with him for as long as he wants him to. The jinn slowly grows more independent, but at the same time MC becomes more and more reliant on getting his wishes materialized and so tried to prevent it.

Not sure where to add sex there, other than in MC's perverted wishes, but maybe he falls for the jinn and it turns into "if you love something, set it free" kind of romance.

If I may turn it on it's head:

The one freeing him is a woman. She has no idea what to do with this constant invasion of her privacy as the genie starts following her to repay his debt, and having no wishes to fulfill.

Exasperated she writes it into her diary with the genie looking over her shoulder. She knows that apping her friend about it would only lead to trouble. In jer entry she writes about the "jinn." He laughs. "Do you take me for a woman? You write it with a D. Djinn."

"What does the D add to it?" She asks.

He shows her, and she sees what her next 100 wishes will be.

I am tempted to write my first strictly m/m story based on this.

Not my own scene, though if we inspired you to write something out if your comfort zone I'm all too happy to contribute.
