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.

[ down for eventual smut and everything else included. ]

[eventual smut is good; run it by me for cross-canon; can play either role, he's got plenty of scars]

[ OTA, including crosscanon & OCs. assumed CR preferred, happy to plot it out or just wing it. ]

[Anna has a few scars to choose from for kissing: a thin, long scar beginning on the right shoulder blade down the spine to the waistline at a slight angle, the only one that really sticks out from a distance; small gunshot scars on left shoulder (entrance and exit wounds) and right side of her stomach; two-inch wide scar just below solar plexus; various small scars in various places of her body from stitches, stab wounds, being thrown through windows, etc.]
