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 remain; 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.

[ooc; either role.]

[ open to all ]

[either role but extra points if you kiss the dots.]

{{Like all witchers, he's covered with scars, but particularly prominent ones are: a very old, deep scar on the inside of his thigh, a long slash below his ribs, and of course the horrific marks where he took a knife to the face. He's not keen on having his facial scars kissed but the rest are fine. He'll even take you on a tour, boasting of the adventures and triumphs memorialized in welted, twisted skin.}}

[Has some on his back, shoulders, and torso from being tortured.]

[ he's got quite a few of them. ]

[ info/prefs in journal. open to canon and cross, aus and jamjar settings fine. edelgard is pretty heavily scarred beneath her clothes, mostly from being experimented on as a child; being this bare for someone won't be casual for her. either role is fine with me but I'd also be down for mutual scar kissing. ]

[Caught up with spoilers and happy to do aus too. Either role, voicetesting]

[ he's got his fair share (biggest one being on his chest where his heart got punched out once, he got better, don't ask) but he can also be fascinated by others' (thanks xanxus), especially if there's some badass warrior/soldier/mafia story to go with it. ]

[ ota canon, 20+ crosscanon, any medium, au ok. ]
