This may be a real silly question and I might be failing some obvious search terms.

Lit has lots of stories of dom/sub relationships and power dynamics. I feel like I can easily find plenty of stories from the submissive POV, and particularly from a POV of it being a new experience.

Can anyone recommend stories where the dom is new to dom/sub play? Not just "this person is sooo cool so naturally they're dominant" bullshit, but stories where this is actually explored and talked about as an experience? How they come into the role, what they need to learn, etc?

I see it a lot in SFF and Mind Control where the main character gets magical sex powers. That's cool and all, but I'm wondering if there's a little more realistic perspective on the experience out there in other categories and not just a matter of waving a magic wand.

I'm also NOT looking for abuser stories, to make that clear. Consensual power kinks, dom/sub play, etc. Any recommendations for that here?

I humbly suggest my series. It has a fledgling BDSM relationship so some of those chapters at least explore from the sub in training perspective. I provide a strong background for where the Dom side starts from. The series does have chapters in both BDSM and NC and I do have a device to establish plausibility for the initial relationship so although used on going in the NC series it is not a feature for the BDSM relationship once it’s been established. BDSM itself can be tricky if it’s not seen as being in the right category. The reality is the majority of the series is in NC but the BDSM chapters may be something you might find interesting. Brutal One

Off Literotica, this is a major theme of Stjepan Sejic's "Sunstone" series, especially the current "Mercy" arc - would strongly recommend.

By far the very best Dominant perspectives story. Two long parts and not complete but because of the plots running through it it is still great as a stand alone. We see the dominant consider and adjust to meet each submissives needs, his own internal battle with morality, one sub plot is about non sexual domination and how that can still be completely mutually beneficial.

The character is not a novice but his internal musings and motivations explains really well how he got to this point and the massive responsibility he has to stay on top of his game so submissives are safe and can trust him.

Check out the series Yours by BackyardBottomslash.

Dom is new, not really an alpha/hunk stereotype and the story is well-written. Read that years ago so I might be glorifying it a bit, but still I enjoyed reading it.
 
I pursued something similar in my story Catalysts (https://literotica.com/beta/s/catalysts). It's about three male students dominating their female professor and is told from the perspective of one of the students, who initially fights the urge to assume a dominant role. Sorry about the self-promotion, but as the OP points out, the concept appears to be quite rare in stories and I can't think of examples I've read.

Sir_Nathan's multi-chapter series Den of Iniquity is about a man who gets drawn into the BDSM world and discovers his dominant side. At the beginning he knows nothing about it, so it seems to meet your criteria of a story about a novice who discovers this aspect of himself.

Sir_Nathan's long story Culture Shock tells the other side of the coin; it's about a college student who discovers her submissive side through a long, slow-burn relationship she develops with a Dom on the Internet.
 
The woman in my story 'Switching at KinkCon' is a fairly inexperienced top/domme and the story shows her thought processes as she does (the plot is that the guy she's expecting to be her Dom for the night is feeling really subby when it comes to it)

It's a really interesting topic I think and I plan to write more about a first time top... eventually. Looking forward to reading the recs upthread.
 
I don’t have the link necessarily but there are a pair of Articles How to be a good Dom and How to be a good sub that are useful. One aspect I am aware of is that a Good Dom needs to understand the basic needs and drives of his sub and vice versa. In a lot of ways a good D/s relationship is often one of the most purist and special relationships you can have but that is the romantic in me. Some people are going to have their own views on that comment. But I think it’s fair to say it’s a great journey of discovery you are on. Brutal One.

You have a very good question, actually.

I see a lot of people promoting their own stuff here. Unfortunately, most of what I've got here so far is from the sub's point of view. (And it's usually a woman dominating a man.) I'm going to have a lot more variety soon, but those haven't be published yet.

Also, these usually are fairly short-term games (a single afternoon, or even less). I don't think I've done any longer-term lifestyle stories. Usually it's like a "domestic discipline" game rather than anything close to a master/mistresses/slave type of relationship.

There are only two that come close to what you're looking for - from the dom's point of views, and he's new to it, or at least with a particular person. In this one a man switches on his formerly dominant girlfriend. But she suggested it, even though he figures out the details, so it's partially her show anyway.

I guess this qualifies. A man dominates his wife as punishment, but it turns out that she likes it.

If you caught me two months from now if would have more, including some with a bondage theme.
 
Unless I remember incorrectly, both the male dom and the female sub are novices in SimomDoom's story In The Hallway (https://www.literotica.com/beta/s/in-the-hallway-1). Good story.

It's a little unclear to me what the OP's motivation for seeking the story was. If it's a desire to explore that particular path in reality, I'd suggest that a novice dom and a novice sub are a highly inadvisable combination. That's not a knock on the story, and if it's just for a good read, it makes no difference. Naturally, if one were researching, as opposed to reading for enjoyment, some non-fiction would be even more important (and easily available online, including information for offline resources.)

Thanks for the recommendation.

I would echo what EoN said, that if one is looking for a "realistic" path by which a novice is likely to get led into the becoming a Dom, my story isn't it, but in writing my story I was very much interested in how a "nice guy" with no experience could become a Dom, and through a somewhat contrived plot device I paired him with a nice girl who wanted to explore being a sub. So if one is interested in how two completely inexperienced people get led, together, into a quasi-BDSM relationship, I think my story is one option.
