Derek Hale | Teen Wolf

[lurkerwolf]

Open to 1, 2, 3 and for a laugh 5 (he's partly wolf after all)

Mephisto | Makai Ishi Mephisto

[demonphysician]

(open to everything besides 3&5. in the case of 4, he's likely to be the one doing the cleaning/bandaging.)

Carlos • Welcome to Night Vale

[notsoperfect]

[ Open to all except 5. ]

Sit still.

[ Natasha sits on the counter-top, knees danging off the edge. She has to twist awkwardly, sometimes, to rinse the blade, but for the most part she makes do with a small towel on her knee, wiping the straight-razor on it every few strokes. She's quick and sure with the blade but she goes slow, the rasp of metal against his skin, and she's right in front of him in the way of the mirror; leans in close enough to see the grain, slender fingers tipping his chin so she can work the length of his throat.

(In their third month, Natasha's husband gets found in the morgue. The Dons and Bettys bring over flowers and falsely plastered condolences, and a week after that, there's no water in the taps, only blood.

She runs to Petyr, blood streaking down her leg, through her hair, and holds him as close as she can. She doesn't speak for a day.) ]

I said, [ and it's with a playful kind of amusement, the arm draped over his shoulder and cupping his chin shifting, just a little, so she can lightly tug at his ear. ]

Sit still.

STEVE ROGERS | mcu

[ 2 or 4! ]

clint barton | mcu

[ ooc | open to 1-4. ]

Nepeta Leijon | Homestuck

[bloodpainter]

[OOC: She will resist 1 with a hilarious ferocity, insist with 2 that she's growing it out into a lion's mane, gigglingly help someone out with 3 while suggesting alternative methods (claw gloves are not meant for that), and take to 4 and 5 effortlessly.

In other words, anything goes.]

Caelica Blair | OC | OTA

[caelica]

[Everything is good except for 1 or 5]

Kageno Jin | Inazuma Eleven | ota

[barelythere]

[Should probably mention that he's got a nice little phobia of sharp things, so any attempt to battle that hair of his (or lord forbid whatever bits of facial hair puberty would be starting to give him--) will probably be met with ghostly wails and corner kicks.

That said, have at!]

natasha romanoff | mcu

[debts]

[ 3 or 4 preferred. D/s themes also okay! ]

3 (and if you want to try to work in d/s, that's good too!)

[asgardhero]

[Thor shifts in his seat on the chill, closed toilet lid and makes a noise of irritation.]

Woman, if I look like a boy-- or you-- when you are done, Odin help you. [He raises his chin slightly, the breath through his lips poorly concealed impatience. Grooming is a necessity, not something that he must enjoy, even if Natasha's fingers are steady and warm against his neck. He closes his eyes for a moment as she draws the straight razor up his neck and for that moment, despite his words, Thor looks nothing so much as a large, preening cat.

Stark had called his beardscraggly. Said he looked like one of his goats and when Thor had risen to his feet to argue the nobility of those good animals, Barton had burst out laughing. Even Rogers had chuckled and Thor, feeling quite cross by that time, had been compelled to point out that neither laughing man seemed capable of growing a beard of their own and so perhaps should not find so much humor in the situation.

They had all walked away rather sour... except for Stark. As it always is.

Thor grunts quietly as the razor scrapes his neck a second time. Natasha has one of the fastest pairs of hands that he has ever seen in his long life, but it is more than the density of his skin against human instruments that keeps him pliant and heavy-lidded under her touch. He trusts her as he trusts few others.]

[meloncholy]

[It started one day when they had been on the road and neither of them had been in possession of a mirror. There was banter about steady hands, quips on how soldiers make fine barbers, and - because they lived in close quarters in the garrison - it had happened again. And again. Eventually, it became something of a habitual affair.

No one bothered to question it, including Porthos. His party trick was shooting a melon off of Aramis' head, after all. Not to mention you couldn't be too careful if you wanted the luxury, in a city where one of the many enemies of the Musketeers could pay someone to stand aside while they took a blade to their throat.

Sleeves rolled up, he theatrically dusts off a chair with a gruff - ] Step right up, monsieur.

sgt brad colbert ( generation kill )

[makedo]

struck with inspiration so here, have a tag (#2)

[exemption]

[ They got orders saying that they're shipping out again soon, that they have to report in two days, and Walt's not exactly happy about it. The Marine side of him, the one that still itches for war and the thrill of combat, is pretty pleased but the other part (the larger part, perhaps, though he'll certainly ignore that possibility for as long as he can) is disappointed. It means he and Brad have to be even more careful than normal if they hook up between now and then and, even worse, that their... whatever this is is going to be put on indefinite hold. Hooking up while actually deployed is too dangerous for either of them to risk. Especially Brad who wants to turn his involvement into an actual career.

Walt's disappointment is being kept close to his chest, however, because feelings and Brad Colbert is a dangerous mix, one that Walt's not so sure he wants to test.

Of course, there is one part of this that Walt's thankful for in relation to Brad. Since they haven't exactly kept up with grooming standards while on leave, they both need haircuts and that means that when Walt walks in on Brad starting to give himself a buzz cut, he decides to offer a hand. As he takes the clippers from the other man, Walt can't help but think about when he shaved Brad that one time, and the memory sends electric heat through his body. He doesn't necessarily expect this to be a mirror of that day, but he sure as hell wouldn't complain if that ended up being the case. ]

Where do you think we're headed this time? [ Because it could be any number of places, honestly. ]

Gavrill Madaraki | Franken Fran | ota

[carnagevore]

[AU things are a-ok. i'd prefer to have her the one being groomed though she won't like it.]

John Blake | The Dark Knight Rises

[oversight]

[ 1 - 4 only, please. ]

02

[righteously]

[So this is what it's come to.

A pair of clippers gripped securely in one hand, and a critically arched eyebrow. He stands there in the doorway of the bathroom like he's blocking the way, like he's just not going to let this one go, and the still-bundled cord sways in open air beneath the apparatus like some kind of physical manifestation of Blake's uncertainty.]

Just trust me, alright? I'm like a friggin' wizard with these things.

Sgt. Brad Colbert | Generation Kill

[achillesanus]

[ 1 - 4 only, please. ]

Gordin | Fire Emblem 12 | ota

[gaggles]

[Open to all prompts, but for him #4 would probably be most appropriate I suppose, especially since he'd be nervy about people touching his hands if he's the wounded one! (but yes I'm open to like everything I love stuff like this)]

richard sharpe | sharpe series

[greenjacketed]

[ 1-4 works wonders. he's bound to be a mess from something; soldiering is dirty work. ]

Haruka Tenoh | Sailor Moon

[actsmagnificent]

[ Can be groomer or groomed. Just don't cut off her ahoge. ]

2+3

[braintease]

[Prison is not conducive to one's proper state of dress and grooming. Riddler's an egotist in all things and his appearance is no exception. After retrieving some funds from his safehouse, his first post-escape actions is to find himself someone who can put his gorgeous self back the way it should be.]

I've grown a bit unrefined around the edges, my dear, would you mind alleviating that? [He sits back in the chair, running a hand over his widow's peak.]

Ren | DRAMAtical Murder

[puptongue]

[Do Allmates need baths? Idk, but clean him up anyway. <3]

[destroyable]

[ RUBADUBDUB ALLMATE IN THE TUB....

either way, aoba probably isn't the most qualified person ever to be cleaning an all-mate given how careful you need to be with the electronics while cleaning the fur, but he's giving it his best! he'd rather do it himself than run the risk of bringing ren somewhere only to have the person hurt or break him. so he's taken to trying to clean ren with one wet and soapy towel and one dry towel, getting more soap and suds on himself than on ren (likely....). at least he's having fun like he used to when he was a kid and nine would help him with baths??? ]

Bertholdt Hoover | Attack on Titan | OTA

[waywardwarrior]

Yarne ⚐ Fire Emblem: Awakening

Re: Yarne ⚐ Fire Emblem: Awakening

[nagaplease]

((OOC: Do you actually mind setting the scene? I was thinking 1, with maybe a side of 3, because surely Libra does still have to shave. >_>))
