Kissing Scars

[memeconsolidation]

The Kissing Scars Meme

Despite the romanticism surrounding the emotion, it can be difficult to be loved completely — not just the beautiful parts of us, but also the sad parts, the injured parts, the hidden and less-than-pleasant parts. There are marks on us, both physical and mental, that we'd often rather forget. The mental ones can just be easier to hide. As for physical scars, they can be off of our minds some of the time, but that's exceedingly hard to do in more intimate, close moments. Whether it's to your dismay or otherwise, your partner is not looking away and ignoring your scars. To the contrary, they're providing attention in a way most heavily associated with tenderness: kissing. It may be an accidental slip off target, or they may be trying to show you that what you've done and who you've been don't matter to them now. Does the gesture touch you? Make the walls come up once again because of the memories that are dredged from somewhere you'd rather no go? A mixture of both? The wound has long closed, yet the pains remains; these days, however, there's someone who may be willing to help you bear it. Reply with the usual: canon, character, preferences, et al. You may also want to say if you're down for smut or not, since it's not a given. Be sure to include what side you'd like your character to play. Mention if you can do both the kisser and the kissed. Also, feel free to talk about your character's scars. Reply to others.

one-eleven (sole survivor) | fallout 4

[radfem]

[ sure why not. the most obvious ones are on her face, chemical burns and discoloration from a coolant leak in her cryopod. her fighting style is up close and personal so there are gouges here and there over her whole body and her hands are pretty marked up from swinging sledgehammers and cooking mirelurk egg omelettes. gen touching without kissing is good too. for shipping: piper, curie, other soles or cross-canon (f/f & m/f). mid-game canonpoint or au. ]

Harry Hart | Kingsman: The Secret Service

[makethman]

(either role works)

fix-it time!

[hornrimming]

[ The metaphor of a watched pot never boiling is outdated, Merlin thinks. It applies to processes unaided by technology or by medical assistance. It applies only to a fixed structure, a concept of time contingent on being strictly literal. Every day since the call had come in that Harry had been found and that he was breathing, Merlin had been watching, and he had seen his progress firsthand. He was there when they wheeled Harry's still Kentucky tagged bed off of the plane and into medical. He was there after the first, the third, the sixth surgery to make sure that his monitor was still beeping on steadily. Even when he couldn't be there every day, a reality of having to aid in fixing a planet gone mad with anarchy, he had been informed.

He sat by his bed when he could and waited for Harry to wake up, because waking up would be the first step of so many. If Eggsy or Guinevere's nurses thought their temporary Arthur and the comatose and literally shattered Agent Galahad might perhaps be more than just friends and colleagues, well, that was entirely up to their imaginations. He never touched him, never held his hand or brushed hair out of his face. He only kept a vigilant watch, because he wouldn't do a thing without Harry's consent, though perhaps only due to his own long-term insistence at the separation of work and play, as painful as play might be in cases such as these.

He hadn't been there in person when Harry finally woke, but he'd been present soon after. He was there through speech therapy where he could be, a necessary anchor in rocky seas, and he had seen the horrible wound stitch itself into something resembling health. A watched pot did boil after enough time had passed, and it's only in their privacy when the storm had passed beyond a shadow of a doubt that he pressed a gentle kiss to the side of Harry's temple where a bullet had once shattered bone. ]

rey | star wars: the force awakens

[sensitively]

[ can be the kisser or the kissee. she may have one or two scars on her somewhere, from tussles and skirmishes on Jakku and then any or all scrapes she'd acquired on Takodana or Starkiller. ]

Kristen Kringle l Gotham

[kristenkgcpd]

(The being kissed since she's bound to have her share from the period she was with Tom, no smut and M/F)

Weiss Schnee * RWBY * f/f

[ablates]

[Well she's got the one on her eye! Smooch it, if you dare.]

Souza Samonji | Touken Ranbu

[thriceunified]

[Either role works.]

[kami]

Souza...

[Kamui would be a fool not to see those scars all over his sword's body. Some of those precede him, from Souza Samonji's previous masters. Others... Kamui believes they come from his time. Because goodness knows Kamui's been into so many battles and coming out by the skin of his teeth. Barely scraping by because he's just so weak, even with the powers he inherited from his mother's clan.

He's a terrible swordsman, he knows this, not on the level of Fuuma, and it translates onto his ability to command his sword.]

I'm sorry. [With that, Kamui leans over and presses his forehead against Souza's shoulder, right over one of those scars.]

Ratallack • The Shadow Line (m/m)

[ratallack]

[either.]

Kara Lynn Palamas | Agents of SHIELD

[facedness]

[ota within prefs, and she's the one with the scars: the left side of her face is pretty well wrecked, though she can hide and has hidden it with a techie mask designed to give the appearance of her face, and given the hiding and given the circumstances she's very, very sensitive about it]

Re: Kara Lynn Palamas | Agents of SHIELD

[tair_abayd]

((Cross canon? I think Sara and Kara might bond well.))

Morrigan | Dragon Age

[courtintrigue]

(Probably the kisser but she has a few battle scars of her own. Can assume some CR if necessary and protags with character info are fine. Smut's not required, but I'm cool with seeing how things play out.)

Giovanni Rammsteiner | DOGS: Bullets & Carnage | OTA

[ofobedience]

[either role works. his scars are around the collar implanted in his neck and all along his spine]

kylo ren | tfa

[fureor]

[ that scar on his face. the one at his side. he's also up to doing the same for his partner too. ]

Sherlock Holmes | Sherlock BBC | m/m

[desecrated]

[He's up for kissing his partner's scars, careful with his own, they're mostly on his back, unless you can deduce how he got them he'd rather not talk about it. There's also a scar from a bullet wound, in his chest however it's not round like some people believe, remember they had to remove the bullet and the dead muscle. You can kiss that one without asking too many questions.]

Prince Hans ♔ Frozen ♔ OTA

[13thinline]

[Probably the kissed--Hans was trained as a swordsman and spent several years in the navy, so he's definitely got his own fair share of scars.]

[chose_my_path]

[ooc: Hiiiiii there. I bring a Margaret if you'd like her.]

Aoba Seragaki || DRAMAtical Murder || OTA

[powerofvoice]

[Post Bad End, he can have the scars. Otherwise, he's doing the kissing.]

Nezumi || No. 6 || OTA

[awaywithasong]

[The biggest scar He also has one on his left shoulder.]

sumeragi subaru ⚝ clamp

[tokyobabylon]

Luna Lovegood l Harry Potter

[radishearring]

(The being kissed, more than likely tortured while in Malfoy Manor, post canon and is now 18, M/F)

Lucifer Morningstar | Lucifer | OTA

[hellicious]

[Has two scars on his shoulder blades from when he lost his wings. Can play both roles. No minors (21+)]

Merlin | Kingsman | m/m

[hornrimming]

Sara Lance/The Canary | Arrow | OTA

[thecanarylives]

Weiss Schnee | RWBY | ota

[whiteas]

Do you want to include Gen?

[aurabble]

[Jaune's pretty sure anyone he's spoken more than two sentences to knows he finds Weiss beautiful. The only one he isn't sure fully believes him is Weiss herself. It's not so much that he doesn't think she believes he finds her beautiful, it's why he does. She's an amazing person, graceful and intelligent who has fought and struggled and shown her strength.]

[So he's sitting and staring at her, probably longer than he needs to, before blurting out the question.]

Can I do something?

legolas, tolkien

[orcsurfing]

( either role, for the scarred one could be eachdraidh!verse where he's had some real nasty scars woohoo. feel free to PM or comment here for more info before starting, etc. )
