For a wild heartbeat

[valerianandathousandsocks]

"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!

((Sure! Did you have anything in mind for a starter/setup?))

[infinite1ups]

[ I tend to write her as kind of a drifter after her series canon ends by default, so they could easily meet up on the road somewhere. Their canon settings mesh together really well so that makes it pretty easy. ]
