Something a Little Less Dark

the gentle (loving) smut meme
It's February March, which is after February, the month of Valentine's Day - the month of love! And love oftentimes means softness, kindness, and attention to the one you care for. Loving sex is no exception. We have a lot of "fucking" memes here: mid-fuck, pre-fuck, post-fuck, so on and so forth. We don't, however, have a lot of making love memes.

And basically all of this has been an awkward segway into a gentle smut meme! No fucking here, just tender touching and lots of care.

"But my character is a huge jerk and/or has the emotional range of a braindead pet rock and/or only fucks like an animal in the sack," I hear you scream from the streets. Not to worry, there are plenty of prompts that can turn even the coldest heart to mush...or there's some negative ones, too. Besides, can't LOVE change anything? That's fancy talk for "it's a meme, go with it."

So break out the Al Green and rose petals...or don't. Because that stuff can be kind of cheesy.

P R O M P T S

  1. Growing Feelings: You're not in love yet, but the beginnings are there and this intimacy only makes it stronger.

  2. Moment of Weakness: The walls are down, for just a fleeting time, and you're taking solace in each other.

  3. Platonic: You love each other platonically - as friends, teammates, or other allies - yet you show it in an unconventional way.

  4. Actual Love: There's genuine, 100% love and relative devotion here manifested in flesh on flesh.

  5. Manipulation: You simply want them to think that you love them, and what better way than to act all gentle and kind in bed?

  6. To Win Them Over: Love is what they want, so it's what they'll get if it gets you on their good side.

  7. Thirsty for Your Touch: You've wanted them so badly, you can't help but be reverent.

  8. Foreplay: Foreplay is often skimmed over, but it can be better than the main course. Savor it...kiss those parts you usually simply thrust into.

  9. Desperate: The sex is a little rougher than this meme calls for, though it comes from a place of love. You're so desperate for them, so in love, that you cannot control yourself.

  10. Take It Slow: One party isn't so sure about this, so you're being gentle and keeping things easy.

  11. Injured/Ill: You can't be rough today. Doctor's orders!

  12. Rescue Sex: You saved them, now let them save you.

  13. Childhood Love Matured: You cared for each other as children; now you'll show your affection in ways children cannot.

  14. Ego Boost You want them to know they're the best, even if they don't feel like it. You have eyes only for them.

  15. Focus All on You: It's time for a treat, and you want to be all give and no take.

  16. Parting: You're leaving - for a long time or a short while - and you two want to spend a last time together.

  17. Return: Finally, you and your lover are back together. Show each other how you missed this.

  18. Making Up: Fighting is usually no fun, but making up afterwards? That is.

  19. Teaching: Your lessons come with love; just because you're more experienced doesn't mean you look down on them.

  20. Gratitude: They really appreciate what you've done for them. Really, really

  21. Not Like Them: One of you has had bad experiences in the past, and the other wants to show them that they're not at all like the rest.

  22. Old Couple: You've been together for a long time and you know what you like.

  23. First Time: In contrast, this is your first time together (or first time, full stop period the end), so you're trying to figure things out.

  24. After Confession: The confession of feelings can give a whole new rush to being together.

  25. You Mean So Much to Me: Words can't describe how you feel about them. Maybe actions can?

  26. Rose Petals and Al Green: Because some people do like that kind of stuff, you know.

  27. CHOOSE YOUR OWN

"You're not a bother." But he won't stop her from going. He knows that sometimes a person does want to be alone.

"Oh..well...thanks," she said, standing there awkwardly, not sure if that's John's way of saying that he would like the company or just his way of being nice. "I mean...I really...don't mind staying...if you want. But I can go...if you'd rather. You don't have to be polite. It won't hurt my feelings."

[personal profile] you_dont_work_alone 2014-04-19 02:52 pm (UTC)(link)
His reason is a little of both. He wants to be polite and help a friend, but part of him would rather be alone. And yet, part of him also wants the company. He's not really sure what he wants anymore.

"You're not a bother, Molly. This is hard on you, too."

She nodded and then did the one thing she told herself she was absolutely not going to do (besides tell him Sherlock was still alive but would probably be dead soon anyway), she started to cry. Really cry. The kind of crying she usually only does alone.

John tries to put an arm around her and lead her to the couch. His intention is to sit with her. Console her as a friend would. Perhaps they do need each other right now, more than he realized.

She lets him bring her to the couch, trying to pull herself together, feeling foolish.

"M'sorry," she says through her tears. "I didn't mean to..."

She sniffles. This is the last thing he probably needs right now.

Actually, helping someone else does allow him to forget his own sorrow for the moment. John puts an arm around her and draws Molly closer, gently, to let her rest against his shoulder if she'd like.

"You don't have to apologize."

She does bring her head down against his shoulder, happy for the contact and the comfort, the tears still falling a bit although not as much.

"I do," she says, even if he doesn't know the real reason. "He was your best friend, not mine. I should be comforting you."

[personal profile] you_dont_work_alone 2014-04-28 07:34 pm (UTC)(link)
"He was your friend, too." And John doesn't see how that means she shouldn't receive comfort from him or anyone else.

Gently, he rubs his hand along her arm, meaning to soothe her. Maybe they can sit together for awhile. Just being in her company is making him feel better.

She nods against him, supposing that's true, even though it doesn't seem like she was actually his friend until she helped him die.

The tears subside and she sighs a bit, also grateful for his touch and company. She's been avoiding almost everyone since the funeral.
