The Gagged Meme

Silence is golden, duct tape is silver

One or both of you is gagged. That's it. That's the meme. It can be silly, serious, or smutty, just as long as one of you can't talk. Bondage, while obviously associated with gags, is completely optional.
  • Comment with your character, preferences, and whether they are gagged or the ones doing the gagging. Feel free to specify what kind of gags you do or do not want (duct tape, ballgags, handgags, etc.)

Jim's lips are one of his most beautiful features. Full and perfectly formed, perhaps just a little too big for Jim's face, they catch Illario's attention almost as often as those intensely blue eyes. Between those, it seems unfair that the rest of Jim's assets down get as much attention from Illario.

Today isn't going to be much different.

Illario's thumb gently carrsses Jim's lower lip, the other hand holding onto the gag- not yet ready to put it in place. But oh, he aches to, desperate to touch and caress and tease his gorgeous Marcher for all he's worth. But first:

"Remember, we stop if you feel we need to, for any reason. If it hurts or you can't breathe well enough, or you aren't enjoying what we're doing. Because of the gag, you can't just tell me red, amber or green. So you're going to have to get my attention by touch. Three taps in quick succession to stop. Even if its just for a moment, or you want to stop completely."

It's become something of a routine when Jim shows up at the Dellamorte estate after hours. Coming to Illario for any distraction that will wear him out enough that the Warden can actually sleep. He'd be lying if he said it was the only reason, though. The Crow has some truly interesting games to teach his Warden lover.

Just now, Jim's glancing aside at the length of silk in Illario's hand. His eyebrow raises. This is a new game for them. A way for the man with the weight of Thedas on his shoulders to give up some of that control for just a little while. Even if only behind closed doors.

"I remember. It'll be fine, Illario." He cocks his head to one side and smiles up to the Crow. "When you said you had something you wanted to show me, I didn't figure it was just going to be silk, is all."

Illario looks forwards to Jim's visits with great enthusiasm- they write but Jim is busy saving the world and Illario is still under what amounts to house arrest, so these visits even if they are fleeting in the grand scheme of things, have become almost a focus of Illario's existence. It means he has time to plan, to come up with something Jim will enjoy and, importantly, give him a good solid few hours of peaceful sleep afterwards.

He's been planning this for a little while too, and its not just the one piece of silk. This is simply the first one.

"This silk isn't what I'm showing you, bello mio. What I'm going to show you is how nice it can be when you let someone else look after you, completely and utterly."

He steps forward, letting the silk kiss against Jim's bare chest, the tail of fabric soft as a feather over skin, and his hungry blue eyes follow it, oh he wants to lather all of that skin with his tongue.

"Relax bello. Enjoy this." He says, and then the silk is wrapped carefully around him, covering his mouth, making sure his nose is free.

*waves hand vaguely* Some pre-Ferelden fun time before Illario is infected and fully on the team

[personal profile] smartass_captain 2025-05-31 12:34 am (UTC)(link)
Jim comes to visit as often as he can get away. More often than he'd indulge if he was Only going for himself. Illario has him very well pegged for how much the Warden puts his duties and his Friends above himself. This goes for his...well. His lover just as much if not moreso. Illario has but to mention how he misses Jim and the man bends over backwards to try to Make time to come visit the Dellamorte estate.

"Compeltely and utterly, huh." Jim thinks he knows what he's in for here. Silk over his mouth, maybe being tied up a bit. He's not worried about being at Illario's mercy. If anything, he's worried about being boring. If he can't talk, can't move, can't do for the Crow...won't Illario grow tired of him?

His gaze follows the silk, then lifts to catch Illario all but drooling over him. At least he has no disillusion of whether or not Illario wants him. The man makes it obvious.

"If you're sure that's what you want. I can only promise to Try to be good." He says with a wink. When the silk covers up his mouth, Jim tests the feel of it. Smiles, opens his mouth a little to feel how it moves around him. Soon Illario has him fully gagged and Jim breathes out slow and deep through his nose.

Tips his head to the side in a bit of a nonverbal question. Does Illario like what he sees, so far?
the_other_dellamorte: (047)

yeap! otherwise Illario is never going back to the villa AGAIN

[personal profile] the_other_dellamorte 2025-05-31 06:54 am (UTC)(link)
Jim really has to stop worrying about what he has to do to serve Illario, how he needs to entertain him, and keep his interest. This is a partnership. They look after each other. Not that they take it in turns- but they both have an equal responsibility to each other, and as Jim is yet to learn, themselves.

But Illario thinks it's going to be a long road, if Jim ever gets to that point. He's not built to be selfish. Perhaps that is why that balance so well - Illario only knows how to put himself first. Taking care of Jim, taking some of the weight from his shoulders? It's helping him unlearn that.

"You'll be good. You don't know how to be anything else for me, bello." Illario murmurs, and once the gag is tied, spends a few seconds admiring how gorgeous Jim is like this, naked and unashamed, those blue eyes looking up at him, wanting to please. He has no idea how deep Illario's feelings go. He leans in, kissing Jim's cheek and strokes through his hair. "You're perfect."

He can't resist a moment more, idly petting, admiring, before he pulls away to get the other silk. Not, this time, a thin length of fabric, jet in colour, but a bundle of actual rope. It is silk, unbelievably strong, and incredibly soft, gentle, on the skin.

"Just listen to my voice, and relax. What we're going to do is something a little like dar-saam, Qunari knot-work. It helps ease tension, it gives support, and it feels good. We're going to start simple, to see if you like it. If you don't like it, or it's too tight, or you need a moment, immediately let me know."

He gives Jim a moment, and because at the moment he's unbound, he can touch the rope if he wants, feel it, get used to it.

"I'm going to start with a chest piece, around your torso, around your shoulders, around your arms. It's like an embrace. Are you happy with that?"
smartass_captain: (Eh? Ehhhh?)

Gotta take advantage of the amenities while they're there~

[personal profile] smartass_captain 2025-05-31 09:09 pm (UTC)(link)
Jim's eyes slip half shut, a little shiver coursing up his spine for the praise and fingers through his hair both. Yes, he quite likes This bit. And when the rope comes out, Jim's first thought does drift to Taash and the corded knots she wears each and every day.

He nods to the instruction. Even lifts up his wrists toward Illario in a show of permission given. It's just rope, and to be honest it looks pretty soft. How bad could it be?? The struggle, Jim thinks, is going to be when Illario decides it's time to work him up and take him apart and THEN not being able to move.

"Mmh~"

"Good boy." Illario murmurs, the words soft, gentle, and he leans in again, brushing his lips over Jim's cheekbone and then as Jim holds out his wrists. "Such a good boy."

He trusts so openly and easily, so beautifully, and Illario knows that he doesn't deserve someone to trust him so much. Someone to allow him this much faith. He won't waste it, he won't ever betray Jim in such a way. He wants to prove himself, on top of making this good for Jim. So carefully, he begins to tie the knots, ensuring they aren't too tight, won't pinch or rub. He's skilled in this, but this is more special than when he's done it before, with someone he genuinely cares for.

The knots are intricate and beautiful, closely wrapping from the wrist and almost to his elbow, pressing Jim's forearms together, spending the time it takes to make a mental note of every little scar, every mark, brushing his thumb or fingers over them as he works.

"What people don't realise," He says, voice soft, "Is that this is a way to connect with your lover. Intimate and tender, to learn every inch of their skin. To love every inch of them."

Perhaps he's a fool to trust Illario or Any Crow so fully. Make himself so vulnerable to a people who could take such advantage of him. But he has slept here, before. Has been bare and vulnerable with no way to defend himself. This is not so different from those times. It would just make it more difficult for Jim to get away should something happen.

It's just. He doesn't think anything will. Doesn't believe Illario wants anything bad to happen to him anymore. If Illario won't trust himself, Jim will trust enough for the two of them. But it Is a choice. Not an oversight.

Jim tips his head so he can watch Illario's fingers work the knots. His gaze follows Illario's hands, head tipping this way and that to get a good view over what the man is doing. He's never seen anything like this so close up before, and certainly not in the process of being knotted. Though, as Jim imagines, Qunari aren't doing this for sex reasons day in and day out. Still. It's pretty.

He didn't think he could be pretty anymore, with his scars and after how much he's changed since his days as a pretty lordling sequestered safely away in an estate. At first his brows clearly furrow when Illario brushes over an old sword scar at his upper arm. He doesn't lean away from the touch, but his gaze flits up...Only to see Illario still looking at him as though he were the most beautiful thing. They widen then. Just a little.

"...Mm?" Interest. And a little bit of awe.

"When we have sex, I like to look at you. Touch you. Kiss you. But I'm so eager to have you that I don't make time to let you know how much I admire everything you are. The man that is Jim Kirk."

Jim doesn't understand how Illario sees him. There are scars, yes, but they tell a story. A man who was pampered but caged, who broke free and then has dedicated himself to others every day, every week, every year. First to the Inquisition and the people of southern Thedas. Then, when he was Blighted, he took himself to the Wardens and kept fighting. He took control of his destiny, and every mark earned on that journey is part of him. Part of his loyalty and bravery and his kindness. Part of the man Illario has fallen for.

The design is coming together: fairly simple rows of rope linked by square knots. It has a little give but feels strangely supportive and cradling. Illario pauses when it's done, sliding his hands down the design to the back of Jim's hands and cupping them with his own.

"It means a lot to me, that you trust me. I want to prove you can. I want to be by your side."

"Hm..?" He'd been halfway to giving a muffled chuckle, eyes half lidded while he basked in the praise. But the genuine compliments to things other than his looks have him tipping his head again. He truly doesn't understand how Illario sees him. He's not really ever considered himself much more than a spare son or a scout his entire life.

Even now...

It's Varric's team. Varric's job. JIm's just keeping things together in his stead while the dwarf convalesces. And doing not a great job of it by his own estimation given how things just keep seeming to get worse.

But the job is later. It's outside these walls where Jim finds his arms bound together peering up into Illario's eyes when the man's hand covers his own bound together as they are. He nods when Illario speaks about trust. Even though it's not a question.

Because he does.

[personal profile] the_other_dellamorte 2025-06-01 06:56 pm (UTC)(link)
"You're being so good again, bello moi," Illario says, knowing full well he's just talking again, talking and talking because Jim will listen to him, unlike the guards or the servants who have been warned about lingering too long in case he tries to charm them. His little visits to the cafe or the night markets of Treviso really don't scratch the itch either. Still, he can at least laugh at himself: "While you're the very definition of captive audience, you're not here for my company-deprived conversation, si?"

Better instead to get on with making Jim feel good, to move on to the slightly more complex knotwork. He picks up another length of rope, still the same soft, flexible silk, just thinner, and shifts to set it down on the edge of the bed.

"This is where I need you on your knees for me. Like that very first time hm? After we sparred. I think about that far too much." He says, helping Jim into that position- it's harder, with your hands tied. But for as bad at jumping as he can be, balance doesn't seem to be his problem. And once he's there? Illario makes a low noise of pleasure, leans in, and kisses Jim despite the gag- stroking his hands up the man's naked inner thigh, and towards his cock.

"These knots are going to be a little more intimate, amore. Like a hand around you, keeping you hard, making you feel so good. I think you'll like it."
smartass_captain: (Aww fuck)

[personal profile] smartass_captain 2025-06-01 09:34 pm (UTC)(link)
Better for Illario to talk and fill the air. Jim also loves to run his mouth but he can't right now and that's already starting to get to him a little. He's blushing for all the praise, watching the Antivan work and only once gesturing for Illario to stop.

Not because of any problems, but--with a bit of muffled noises and turning Illario will eventually figure out--so he can itch Jim's back for him where a bit of the rope tickled him too much.

"Mn?" A tilt of his head. Up. Up and on his knees. Jim can do that. He's moving before Illario gets up to help him with determination. Planting his bound fists into the bedding to anchor him as he leverages himself up. Then Illario is there, helping to steady and brace Jim so he can shuffle upright. He makes a soft huffing noise. A triumphant little 'ha!' that comes out just as "hhh!" for the gag once he's gotten himself there.

All the better to enjoy how Illario seems to react to seeing him like this. His brows lift eagerly, so pleased to be wrapped up in tanned arms and showered with kisses. And then he makes a startled noise of pleasure himself to feel Illario's other hand stroke up his inner thigh.

"Nn~ mnh~!!" His cock gives a lazy twitch but ultimately gets passed up for the time being. He groans when Illario pulls his hand away in clear complaint. But then hushes. The other is still explaining the next bit. He glances down toward his own cock, then back to Illario. "..mm?"

You're gonna tie him up there???
the_other_dellamorte: (nsfw1)

[personal profile] the_other_dellamorte 2025-06-01 09:45 pm (UTC)(link)
Illario doesn't need to be a mind reader; he just needs to look at those lovely eyes, and he knows what Jim means.

"Yes, bello, I mean your cock. I want you to be hard and aching and enjoying this. That is the point, after all." He murmurs and then presses another kiss to Jim's mouth beneath the silk and then to his throat, finding the pulse point and nuzzling in.

"You know what I love? When you're so turned on, so hard and aching, and that beautiful cock weeps for me." He murmurs into Jim's skin, then lets his hand curl around the length to stroke, slow and satisfying.

"Once your cock is bound, I'll do your legs. And then your chest, where it feels like an embrace. Are you ready for that?"
smartass_captain: (Tied up)

[personal profile] smartass_captain 2025-06-01 10:15 pm (UTC)(link)
Well, Jim Is trying to make it clearly obvious what he means, too. So there is that. Illario understanding means he's doing a half decent job of communicating, even like this. He shudders a little as Illario zones in on his throat. At the first graze of teeth so gentle against his pulse point.

He groans long and low and deep. For both the touch and the image Illario paints. Especially because hot on its heels Illario begins to stroke him hard. The Crow's fingers are wicked and Jim cannot ever get enough of them. He lifts up on his thighs into the strokes before long, rocking into Illario's hand as much as he's allowed.

But soon even this will be taken from him. And that brings another flush of color to his face. He shudders once more and then like before he nods. He's not backing down now.

[personal profile] the_other_dellamorte 2025-06-01 10:35 pm (UTC)(link)
"Good boy." Illario purrs again, letting Jim rock into his touch, letting him enjoy that bliss. "You have no idea how much I want to give myself to you when you're like this."

His fingers uncurl, murmuring a soft apology that he's stopped, and gently begins with the neck series of knots. A loop around the root of his cock, another around his balls, and then a series of carefully spaced knots that apply just the perfect amount of pressure to still feel like a hand, encircling, holding firm but not tight.

"See what I mean, bello? Doesn't it feel nice, to be held, hm?" He asks, finishing the knot and looking back over his handiwork, and unable to stop from stroking his thumb over the crown of Jim's cock.

[personal profile] smartass_captain 2025-06-03 02:42 am (UTC)(link)
This is the part Jim's been less than eager to get to. Because it's once he's proudly erect, flushed and pert in Illario's grip, that everything stops. Jim can't help the low whine that escapes him when Illario pulls away. He twitches now and then as the silk brushes against his hypersensitive skin. Every part of him is tingling with his arousal. He'd wondered how the more intimate knots would feel. As Illario finishes Jim squirms a little for the other to watch.

He shudders bodily. Arches his hips up to try and get the rope to rub against him. Then Illario strokes the head of his cock and leaves Jim helplessly twitching against the touch. A bead of fluid oozes from the tip and coats his thumb.
the_other_dellamorte: (nsfw1)

[personal profile] the_other_dellamorte 2025-06-03 12:24 pm (UTC)(link)
He's gorgeous. Utterly and incredibly hard, dripping into Illario's fingers and he can't help but bring that pearl to his lips and lick it up. There was, after all, very good reason he didn't blindfold Jim- he wants him to see just how much Illario is affected by this too. How much seeing Jim like this makes his own cock harden and throb.

But he can also see there's a thread of worry in Jim's eye, a fear. He doesn't want to be left like this. And this whole experience is about communication and trust- he has to know that Illario is there for him, won't let him suffer, even if Jim can't physically tell him what he needs.

"I was going to do some more across your chest bello moi, but I think you're wound up enough aren't you? Or do you think you can manage for another ten minutes for me? Hold out that long and then we'll come together?"

Maker but Illario looks like sin itself dragging his hand up to his lips to lick Jim's pre from his fingertips. His pupils blow wide watching Illario in the act. Chasing the blue from them until they're so very dark. His hips twitch against nothing.

And there is a worry of just how long he's expected to stay like this. Of what Illario's going to Do with him once he's all bound up. Pitch him forward so Jim has to brace himself on bound hands while Illario fucks him? Eats him out? His hole clenches with every thought.

He shakes his head quickly at the offer of an Out. He wants to see where this is going, doesn't want to miss out (wants to be good for his love--). He can wait he won't lose it, enduring is what he's made for or something to that effect.

He smirks, knowing he's being watched, and he makes a noise of pleasure, shifting his own legs to part his thighs - he's not as stiff and aching as Jim, but he's beginning to feel that desire grow hard and distracting.

Which means he needs to really focus now, moving to take up another length of rope and starting what is actually the trickier set of knots—needing to be carefully placed and tightened just enough around Jim's chest, over and below pectoral muscles, and then winding carefully around his ribs. It shouldn't restrict but feel like a lover's embrace, holding him close and careful.

It had been one of Illario's favourites, the embrace he didn't always necessarily receive. It can be grounding when nothing else is.

"It should feel good, amore. Safe. Like the arms of someone who loves you." He explains as he continues with the careful series of knots and bindings, before he shifts back and puts his hands on Jim's thighs.

"You are utterly perfect, my love. You're being so good. Would you like me to take the gag off? Then you can tell me what reward you want."

Is crouching really so important to sneaking? Gale isn't sure, but the others always do it, so he does as well, even though the cracking of his knees may end up giving him away.

Trying to clear the goblin camp had not quite gone to plan. It had started so well, with the group easily infiltrating the place as True Souls revered by the goblins. Gale isn't exactly sure where it all went wrong, but their intrepid leader being taken captive certainly wasn't part of the plan.

This part should probably be Astarion's job, but he's busy slinking through the shadows slitting throats. Besides, Gale needed to be the one to get Jim, to make sure he was okay, for reasons he wasn't keen on interrogating at the moment.

Jim must have heard him creeping into the room, because he starts making muffled noises. See? Gale is bad at sneaking. "Sshhh! It's me. This isn't my forte, but it'll be much easier if you don't make noise."

At least Jim hasn't been put on the rack the poor mercenary recruit was on. Jim got caught after he cut the man down and freed him. Thankfully, a quick wit and a sharp tongue have gotten him thrown in a cell 'for now' as Vollo's apprentice. This probably has a lot to do with why Jim's been gagged in the first place. Seems not everyone is as keen on the bard as his jailer is.

"Mmmf--" They've taken his bow, probably stashed it Somewhere. Jim really hopes it's not gone far because if he's left to try to defend himself with just his one dagger he's going to be in a really shit situation.

His noises are more trying to warn Gale about the guards than any panic. As he's shushed Jim falls obediently quiet. Save for a black eye he seems to be not that much worse for the wear. Aside form the imprisonment.

"Alright, I'm just going to cut your bindings," Gale whispers. Then he immediately realizes he has nothing to cut them with -- he's a wizard, if someone has gotten that close to him, he's going to opt for shocking grasp over a dagger. "Do you still have your dagger? If not, I'll have to burn through the robes, but I'd rather not risk it." He doesn't wait for an answer before he starts patting Jim down, searching the most likely places for a hidden blade.

A nod, thankfully no more attempts at nonsensical noises for communication.

Any other time he'd flush up to the tips of his ears to feel Gale's hands all over him like this without preamble but right now? High on adrenaline and nerves for someone coming in before Jim's free to provide backup? He shifts on his knees to angle one side more toward Gale's view. Tucked up underneath the back of his leathers is a small sheath for a dagger. More of a hunter's knife than something Astarion would use on people but decidedly better than Nothing.

And in the immediate the right tool for the job of cutting Jim free.

"Sorry, sorry," Gale whispers as he has to go digging for the blade. Maybe he should start carrying one of his own, just in case. "Alright, let me just--"

Footfalls. There's just enough time for Gale to cast an invisibility spell, but he's still pressed into Jim's space. If anyone approaches the prisoner, they'll run right into Gale.
