Raised on tales of knights and honor

[memeboogeyman]

"barbarian" lover Long ago, in a distant land... That's how a fairy tale would start, followed by velvet words and beautiful images on parchment, telling of the adventures of heroes. But you? You don't get a fairy tale - you certainly don't get the prerequisite knight in shining armor, whether you wanted one or not. Forget the knights. Bring on the barbarians, the raiders on behemoth ships, uncouth Northmen from the coldest reaches, and, if you're from a fantasy-setting, the orcs/dwarves/wild elves/other species. It's the right time, yet the wrong place and the wrong person, for sure. Maybe you're being protected, somehow; on the other hand, you could be getting kidnapped. At any rate, your companion is a rough-edged warrior, a commoner, a ruffian rogue, or even worse, a savage. Will you even survive this story unscathed? Because you certainly won't get a picture-book ending or, far be it, true love...right? Or, if you're just here for the smut: observe the "loin cloths or Pelts of the Barbarian, taut rippling muscles, oiled back, impressive weapons, the beard of a grizzly bear (or inexplicably clean-shaven at all times) and glorious manly manes." Comment with your character, preferences (shipping, smut, what have you), etc. Whether you want a realistic setting, a picturesque fable setting, or something more akin to realism or a gritty fantasy world a la Game of Thrones, we've got you covered!

[ no rape/non-con please, but Bull is more than happy to play along with your character's "stolen by barbarians" role play fantasy or whatever. it doesn't get more "savage" than the big, burly qunari. ]

Ganondorf | Legend of Zelda

[recurringking]

[I mean, it's basically canon. Open to all female characters, and OTA with some discussion beforehand.]

Hope this works!! LMK if you want anything changed!

[gluttonforpunishment]

Link knew, logically, that he was the only real choice for this. It didn't mean he had to like it, though. The Gerudo king of a distant tribe, come to Hyrule to... what? pay respects? negotiate trade? Whatever the excuse was, Link wasn't buying it.

First of all, the man's name was Ganondorf, like the Calamity that had still quite recently attempted to take over Hyrule and kill them all. Second, the man was seven feet tall and thick with muscle. Just one of his arms was a large as Link's torso.

Not that Link didn't doubt his own ability or the Sword on his back, but he didn't think this was worth the risk. Not that Zelda was also really in a position to refuse. Ganondorf was offering significant resources that Hyrule desperately needed to recover and rebuild.

And instead of sending a whole cadre of soldiers - none of them knights, really - to follow Ganondorf around, it was him and him alone.

jin mi ( ashes of love )

[grapesprite]

( open to m/f and f/f, jin mi is a floral fairy in her canon, so it would be easy to mesh her with other fantasy characters!

or alternatively, one time she was reborn on earth as a 'saintess' of the saint doctor family who was tasked with making medicine for and attending to the king ( on his death she would also be buried with him alive ), a scenario could be someone kidnapping her as a move against the king, or someone tasked with protecting her.

feel free to hmu if you want to hash something out! )
