Our scars remind us that the past is real

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.

[Either or both! No smut pls. He's got a bunch of scars in the form of poorly healed spots on his bones, and tends to treat his tattoos like scars as well since he has no idea where they came from. The easiest spot would be his forearms since he's decked out in clothing to cover the tattoos.]

[Likely the one offering the kisses. She has info on her journal. Open to other NPCs, WoLs, non-WoLs, canon, and cross-canon alike. F/M is my shipping preference, but I can do F/F.]

[ He's got a scar over his right eye, just a little tick where he could have been blinded in childhood.

More than likely, he's kissing your scars because damn... they have to be more sexy than his. ]

[ her physical scars don't tend to linger long (perks of Force healing and access to cutting-edge tech), but depending on canon point she may have a few that aren't quite gone. particularly an unbroken line of a scar going from below her jaw on the right side of her neck, along the side of her neck and clear across her right shoulder; again depending on canon point there may also be a ghost of a scar across the right side of her face that lines up with it. very much game for her giving someone else's scar(s) attention. also conversations and vulnerability to attend to non-physical scars.

canon, cross canon, timeline shenanigans, AUs, OCs (with discussion or prior CR) welcome. good with some assumed CR as well. ]
