calming intimacy

You feel rough. Actually, no, understatement of the millennia. "Rough" is a walk in the park compared to how you feel. Anguish, rage, misery, pain, or even simple world-weary ennui fills every inch of you, and there's no doubt you're about to do something dangerous, stupid, or reckless. Or all three. There's only one person who can calm you down: your lover. They have tried everything they know to get those thoughts from your heard. Everything except for this... Now, they're using physical intimacy to remind you what really matters, which is the two of you. Surely, this will bring you back, letting the emotions ebb out and you'll be able to think straight again. Comment with your character, your canon, your preferences, and which side you'd like to play (the calming one or the one who needs calming). Reply to others. Thread!

[awesomeee]

( Aged up to 18! Happy to play the calmer or the calmee. )

[danzan]

[ If you're up for cross-canon! Thinking of Peter as the one who has to be calmed down (hero frustrations, rip), and I'd be happy to start, too. ]

Esther Moreau | OC

[ Aged up to 18. 100% here for platonic situations and friendships as well as shipping. Smut is off the table, but good lord does this girl need a hug. ]

It wasn't as though it was a well-kept secret. She didn't speak about anything, but there was only so much she could conceal, especially from someone who knew the dedicated silent language of the abused. The subtle nuances, the smiles that aren't really smiles, more of a tautening of the jaw. The calculated way that you analyse a room when you step in, always look for the escapes, the things you can use to defend yourself.
The most unspoken of all is how you learn to judge someone before they've even opened their mouth. You sense their threat levels simply from how they command a room or other people.

They hadn't spoken at length about it, let alone touched upon it. But they'd shared enough knowing looks. Something a little too cutting had slipped out, proverbial teeth bared to remind the person that she would bite and not let go. Kaiba ached when he watched it happen. It was something so small, but it was definitely the last straw on the camel's back.

He stepped closer and promptly reminded his employee that boundaries were non-negotiable unless the other person specified it was on the table.
"Esther, come with me." His tone was notably softer when he looked to her.

Bucky Barnes | MCU | M/F

[protivvyter]

[thequitecontrary]

[Short starter. You can continue with him punching, etc. let me know if anything needs to be changed.]

It had all happened very quickly. One moment she and Bucky were asleep in bed and the next Mary was awakened by him thrashing around. It was clear that he was in the middle of some sort of nightmare and Mary wasn’t exactly sure what to do. He had pushed her off of him a few times and nearly shoved her out of the bed.

Mary tried again to grip at one of his thrashing arms, a last resort before she would call for Steve. “Bucky,” she said trying to remain calm. “It’s Mary. You’re having a nightmare. Wake up... please wake up.” She shook at him again, daring to put one of her hands up to his cheek.

chise hatori ( THE ANICENT MAGUS BRIDE )

[honeymeads]

[ aged up upon request. can be either role. ]

Sherlock Holmes || Sherlock BBC || m/m

[desecrated]

[[As comforter or one needing to be comforted.]]

something like this?

[captainwatson]

"What the hell do you think you were doing?! She's two, Sherlock! You can't leave a two year old alone in a park - what is wrong with you?!" John yells, having luckily retrieved Rosie from a good-hearted mother who had found her and let her play with her sons until John came back.

He makes sure his child is with Mrs. Hudson and out of earshot before rounding on Sherlock.

"I don't give a toss if you got some stupid brainwave about whatever case you're on - my daughter is not something you can just dump for a second!" John shoves him back against the wall; "Was killing her mother not enough for you?!"

Frank Castle (Netflix Marvel)

[thegoodbad]

[fine playing either role. doesn't have to be shippy.]

Eren Jaeger | Shingeki no Kyojin | M/M

[preciousbrat]

Wolfgang Mozart | Amadeus | OTA

[18th_century_rockstar]

Lonette | Cool World | F/M

[pretendpinup]

( 100% the comforter.

lonette's a loyal, long-suffering "girl you've got back home" kinda dame, the one you can take home to mother and will be by your side through thick and thin. also, she's from the 1940s. pretty much. it's complicated. )

Matt Murdock | Netflix Marvel

[blindninja]

(Either/or)

[bestavocado]

[*cracks knuckles* ALL RIGHT who's getting calmed LIKE A BOSS]

helen cho | mcu | ota

[ugin]

[ Her soothing game is on point. ]

Clara Oswald | Doctor Who

[ex_bossily211]

[greatestschemer]

[ooc: - waggles brows-]

yukina ❆ yu yu hakusho ❆ ota

[crylittlesister]

( The calming presence.

For the canon blind, all that's really important is - tiny person, not a human, sweet as sugar...but possibly a little disconcerting given how "not from the realm of mortals" her vibes are. Actually, she's a demon lady from a matriarchal culture. More info in the journal if you're interested. )

Rey ★ Star Wars ★ OTA

[provenforce]

[ Possibly more likely to be the one doing the calming in certain ships, but could also potentially be the one who needs calming. ]

Cecil Harvey | Final Fantasy IV (AU)

[proteusmoon]

( ooc ; could be either role, but would prefer she be the recipient today. cuddles, yes! )

sam wilson | mcu | ota

[wingedman]

[probably the comforter, but open to either role.]

Augustine Gheorghe Vlad Tepeş | Original

[immortalrose]

( ooc: augustine would be the "calmer" one. let him kiss all that bad away )

Terra Branford ☾ Final Fantasy VI ☽ OTA

[magitek_elite]

david haller ( legion )

[measurelessly]

[ either role is fine, but probably the one in need of calming. ]

i'm sorry

[danzan]

[ It

fucking hurts

being slammed onto the floor of the training room as hard as he was, and for a split-second all Logan can focus on is the pain. His mind returns to him, though, and his claws dig into the metal beneath him. The adamantium cuts through it with ease, and even as he feels the strength of David's telekinesis threatening to force him back into the air again, he ignores the ripping feeling in his limbs (in his skin, God, he's getting cut up and the only reason he's alive is because he heals faster than the cuts grow) and keeps moving towards him. ]

David! [ This is one of the rare times Logan will ever yell at him, maybe, and he releases one set of claws just so he can wrap a hand around David's ankle. The grip is hard enough to hurt, but David isn't listening to him. ] David, you fucking stop right now!

[ Maybe words won't work. Maybe he'll have to open his mind to him. And Logan would if he could just calm himself down enough to think about it, but that's proving trickier than he thought. ]
