the non-sexual touch turned romantic or erotic meme THE TOUCH KINK MEME
It's said that a picture is worth a thousand words. A touch, one between people who have more than just something together whether they know it or not, can be worth a million. This meme is to celebrate those intimate touches...with a twist. Almost no touch here is sexual, at least overtly, yet with the right chemistry, things can heat up romantically or erotically. This might not even be caused by the sensation caused by the touch itself - or perhaps it is - but rather the sentiment behind the gesture.
Not a smut player? That's fine. There is a tuned-up emotional aspect to all this as well, as has been mentioned. Be sure to include that you'd prefer things to stay a little less steamy the more hands-on things become.
With all that said, let's put that thousand words to rest. Instead, reach out and touch someone.

Hand kink; you can't get enough of the way their hands feel
[ She's not actually angry despite the harsh tone her voice has taken. It's just easier to mask concern and worry as frustration; for all her seeming confidence, she's not actually that good at dealing with people she cares about (or whatever) getting hurt. ]
Look, I know it's not ideal but I gotta' use my hands to heal. That's just how it works for my kind. [ She thinks. As far as Rose knows, she's the only one of her kind able to heal but- Details. ]
[Lorenz.... is not a healer. Not by any stretch of the imagination. But any mage worth their salt can at least cast a basic heal should there be an emergency or the primary healers are needed more urgently elsewhere.
Or, in this case, their foolhardy leaders take unnecessary risks that result in them returning to camp long after the healers have done their work and their magic is dwindling after the battle. Marianne, of course, insisted she could do it but Lorenz wasn't about to have her over exerting herself just because Claude couldn't be bothered to send scouts.]
You realize you should not be the one risking yourself like this.
[That. Past tense, he's not in danger anymore but that doesn't make the knot of unease in Lorenz' belly unclench. The healing magic is weak, subtle. Meant for small repairs. Lorenz' skills are far more focused on explosions than mending but the wound is closed and he's fairly certain the muscle is reknit... not that he's particularly skilled at easing the pain of such injuries.]
Relax.
[A sharp command as his fingers work over the other man's shoulder, feeling out the muscle, the tight knot where new tissue has mended, rolling the heel of his hand over it gentle but firm enough to encourage the blood flow to return to the strained area.]
[ hands and neck are really what he focuses on so pref for 6, 8-10, 19, 24, 26-27, 40. hair is a bonus. open to others, but more into exploring the aspect of sensations and intimacy through touch (does not need to veer sexual, keeping it softcore is more than fine — open either way). ota for gen because platonic is valid. m/m for anything romantically infused. just let me know which. ]
(OOC: First, that is an awesome username for Eliot. A+.
I'm not sure what canon point your Eliot is from, but I think he and Linhardt here could have some interesting...conversations (or other things). They have a fair amount of character notes in common: Both of them loooooove running away from their problems and are not fans of the responsibilities everybody is trying to foist on them. (Though Eliot eventually is more mature about it.) Bonus is Lin's responsibilities = administration for an empire, so if Eliot wants to complain about Fillory, feel free, man.
Plus it could be interesting because Linhardt's world is very akin to Fillory and he's very much on team 'medieval worlds are shitholes' even though he's from one and doesn't know much about what the other options are.
So yeah, commonalities there. Linhardt is also a magic-user (a healer primarily) and does a ton of stupid magic experimenting, including with teleportation, so idk maybe something there?)
